A Hillary Clinton Primary Challenge to Obama in 2012?

The fundamental problem facing the United States is that all three branches of government are corrupt. Congress is clearly the largest house of prostitution in the nation, containing only one political party with two wings. The Republican wing is the more abusive of the two in terms of its disregard for the quality of life of ordinary people and its prostitution to business and the wealthy. However, the health-care bill voting record and amendments reveal prostitution on the Democratic side as well. With an electorate that is largely socially and politically disengaged with many, particularly White Americans, still clinging to the 19th-century values of rugged individualism and anti-intellectualism. It is likely that America will continue to suffer from a lack of social advancement in comparison to Western Europe, with squalor in its cities, homelessness, poverty, the death penalty, and an astonishing number of its citizens incarcerated. Life expectancy is 31st in the world, just ahead of Cuba. (United Nations Human Development Report 2010). It is remarkable that the majority of people can witness the continuation of many policies from the previous administration and still believe that America does not have de facto one political party.

Hillary lost in 2008 because she didn't take Obama seriously until too late just like Coakley didn't take Scott Brown seriously until too late. Since then, all Dems running have reacted appropriately and have made it, except Hawii where stupity reigned and two Dems ran against each other and split the vote.

The word in the street amongst old Dems is that they would much rather have Hillary in office and would just long for a shot at that. If Obama is under 50% which he likely will be, Dems will not chase a loser and will bolt for someone else as they wil have nothing to lose.

The fact that Obama did not have a press conference for so long indicates that he grew more out of touch than anyone ever dreamed of. He has done exactly what the far Right has wanted him to do and given them such a boost that the likelihood of a permanent GOP rule for a generation is in the making.

Makes us cenetrist and certer-left sad as all our dreams of a more equitable government go up in smoke due to to mismanagement and squandering away of a good victory in 2008.

Shaun, Read Hell to Pay: The Unfolding Story of Hillary Rodham Clinton (1999) by Barbara Olson then read The Final Days: The Last, Desperate Abuses of Power by the Clinton White House (published October 2001) also by Barbara Olson. In 1994, she left to work for the United States House of Representatives, becoming chief investigative counsel for the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee. In that position, she led the Travelgate and Filegate investigations into the Clinton administration. These are the definitive works on Hillary though there are more critical works on each of Hillary's criminal activities like from Richard Poe who wrote The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party.

Good luck with your paper even if it will vastly disagree with your liberal teacher - assuming he/she is a liberal which most teachers are.
