Clinton Family Values

If anyone can remember that far back, remember the big scandal about how a company based in Dubai was going to buy some port facilities here in the US? Well Senator Hillary Clinton was out raged that America would allow foreign and possibly hostile powers to control such a vital interest. So, in true grandstanding fashion she sponsored legislation to block the sale of ports and other things that are vital to national security. Now this isn’t a bad idea, since it is always a bad idea to sell stuff you need to people who might use it against you.
(Now alas up to 40% of the more than $8 trillion US national debt is in foreign hands, which means if one or more of the major debt holders which include China and OPEC tried to sell or call in the debt a big chunk of debt, they could devalue the dollar and bring the US economy to its knees. Well why haven’t they done it? I mean it is clear that China wants to be the new superpower. Because destroying the US economy would bring most of the world’s economies to their knees as well. So until China can support the rest of the world’s economies and prevent the war that would result from such a move, it is a foolish move to make. In the meantime it is a much smarter move for our trading partners to keep buying our debt since we use the money they give us to buy stuff from them. This weakens us as it strengths them, plus keeping America a super power for as long as possible benefits China immensely cause they can sell us lots of stuff and they don’t have to send their armies all over the world to keep the peace.)

Ok enough of that tangent.
The reason this is called Clinton Family Values is because guess who was working for the people in Dubai, to ensure that the deal went through, and received a $300,000 check for his efforts? You guessed it, the former president, husband of the honorable Hillary Clinton, William Clinton. Unless they don’t talk at home, assuming they even live together anymore, don’t you think Hillary might have known in advance about this deal? The better question is why, now that it is out that Bill was playing for the other team aren’t the Clintons being smeared all over the news for playing both sides? Interesting the way DC works, isn’t it?
