OpEdNews - Page 4 of Article: EARTH TO BILL CLINTON: SHUT THE (BLEEP) UP!

Clinton campaign strategists denied any intentional effort to stir the racial debate. But they said they believe the fallout has had the effect of branding Obama as "the black candidate," a tag that could hurt him outside the South.

Rubbish. Quite the contrary, the Clinton campaign's playing of the "race card" has clearly backfired. Critics argue that Bill Clinton's attacks will surely be used by Republicans in the fall campaign as yet another example of the former president being a "loose cannon" and of the former first lady being "unable to control her husband."

If Hillary Clinton can't control her husband on the campaign trail, how in the world is she going to control her husband in the White House? I can already envision the anti-Hillary attack ads at the ready for airing next fall if she wins the nomination: "A vote for Hillary is a vote for a third Bill Clinton term!"

And, for once, this blogger is inclined to agree, at least partially. Bill Clinton has unwittingly exposed himself as being power-hungry. He's had his time in the Oval Office -- eight years, to be precise. Apparently, though, he's not satisfied with his retirement. Bill Clinton wants to return to the White House so badly he can taste it.

To that end, he's chosen to get "down and dirty" in the partisan political wars. This is conduct unbecoming a former president and it speaks volumes about the man's character -- to say nothing about his apparent contempt of the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, which restricts a president to two full terms -- eight years -- in office.

Just Say 'No' To Continuing the Bush-Clinton 'Dynasty'

Hillary Clinton's run for the White House also brings up something that has been bothering this blogger for months. Do you realize that this November will mark the 20th anniversary of George H.W. Bush's election to the presidency?

Think about that. If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination and the November 4 election, the United States will have had either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House for 24 years -- and perhaps 28 years, if she wins a second term in 2012.

It was not the intention of our Founding Fathers to have a dynasty ruling the United States. But that's exactly what we're headed for if Hilliary Clinton wins. And this blogger has a real serious problem with that.

After 20 years, it's time to end the Bush-Clinton "dynasty" and give someone else the keys to the Oval Office. America will be much better off. I haven't made up my mind who to support in this election, but I have made up my mind about whom I'm not supporting. There's no way I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances.
