The recent set-to between Hillary and Obama gives us an insight into what a Hillary presidency would be like, and it ain't pretty.
David Geffen has switched his support from the Clintons to Obama, and he made some unflattering, albeit true, remarks about the former. Hillary immediately lashed out and demanded that Obama "fire" Geffen, even though he's simply a private citizen who organized a fundraiser. She also demanded that Obama give back all of the money raised, even though only Geffen made the comments.
In Hillary's world, freedom of speech doesn't extend to criticizing her, nor does freedom of assembly. Where does she get off ordering another campaign around? Who appointed her the setter of standards?
In order to fool the public into voting for her, Hillary is going to have to be very carefully packaged. She's going to have to pretend to be warm and caring, when she's anything but. She's going to have to pretend to be interested in the points of view of other people, when she's not even interested in other people. She's going to have to pretend that she's going to work with people, when she has absolutely no intention of ever doing so.
This temper tantrum is the first chink in her well-coiffed armor. It shows that neither she nor her handlers has a grip on her yet. It shows that she will speak first, think second. It shows how desperate she already is, and this desperation will only grow as she perceives her "inevitability" fading.
Hillary is seeking an office, the necessary attributes of which are utterly beyond her comprehension and, therefore, her reach.
