Clinton is a bargain - two for the price of one

If Hillary becomes President you have two presidential heads for the price of one. Hillary being the nominal president and her sidekick Bill Clinton being the ex-president with all the connections. It a good deal I would say. Bill will not even be paid and I am very sure functioning. Hillary is no slouch as she was president of her own law firm. Bill is tested and and a good president and Hillary is tested and a good senator and maybe even a better president.

I don't doubt for a minute that Bill is still functioning.

So quickly we forget the flaws in Bill Clinton's presidency.

We should be going forward, not backwards.

Monica tried both, repeatedly going forward and backwards. She failed. But that was using her head mind you.

Wouldn't it be something to repeat the good times of the Clinton Era I after Bush II?

Which law firm would that be? Funny that she never mentions it...

(She was a partner in the Rose law firm. She was never President and never ran any law firm of her own.)

If she is a partner that means she part owner and run things.

Another Bill Clinton Moment On The Campaign Trail
March 21, 2008 04:23 PM

by Sam Stein
The Huffington Post
Adding a bit of fuel to the political fire, Bill Clinton made a bizarre comment on Friday, leaving the impression that he believed Barack Obama's patriotism would be a general election issue.

MSNBC is reporting that on the campaign trail today in Charlotte, North Carolina, the former president said a general election matchup between his wife, Sen. Clinton, and Sen. John McCain would be between "two people who love this country" without "all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."

It's difficult to determine exactly what Clinton meant by this. Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said the former president was not implying that Obama didn't love America. As for "this other stuff," that Clinton referred to? He was talking about "the politics of personal destruction," said Wolfson. "He was lamenting that these kind of distractions 'always seems to intrude' on our politics."

Not everyone had the same interpretation. MSNBC, for example, was quick to suggest that the former president was implying there were doubts about Obama's patriotism, and that those doubts would play a role in the general election. Which seems, on its face, hardly a stretch.

However, President Clinton also seems to be suggesting that his wife would be immune to swift-boat like attacks; a supposition that does not seem terribly likely.

Recently on the campaign, the former president has made remarks that have been a bit unpredictable. Days ago, he complimented McCain as a bipartisan, war hero and a tough general election foe. Not "but"s included. Days before that, he was touting a Sen. Hillary Clinton-Obama pairing as an electoral "dream ticket," even though his wife's own campaign was making the case that Obama was not ready to serve as commander-in-chief.

Here is the full quote: "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election between two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interests of the country and people could actually ask themselves who is right on the issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics." video

Partner does not, and never has, been the same as President which was your original over-inflated claim.

There is no indication that she has ever held any position of authority within the firm. She was not the CEO or Chair. For that matter, I'm not even sure she was an equity partner and had any voting rights within the firm. But I'm sure her years of working on Patent Infringement and Intellectual Property law will help her lots. Rolling Eyes

I have not checked her background on the law firm but my understanding of a business would be that if there is partner there is ownership otherwise she would be just an employee. The partnership is could be a franchise, corporation or just plain unlimited company.

Your admission that you have no idea what you are talking about comes as no surprise...

talk72000, these links might help you understand the nature of the term "partner" in a law firm and the different versions of structuring the partnerships.

Thanks Butterfly:

I don't see any need to snoop on Hillary. Being a partner is generally a part owner but there no indication of the financial structure the law firm she was in. The responsibility is still there.
