NOT the next Hill?
My buddy
Matt Lewis seconded the point of
Michael Ledeen's blogwonderment at the similarities between the Obamas and the Clintons.
Do not be confused, the Clintons share leftist ideals with the Obamas, and yes Michelle Obama is extremely ambitious. But calling her hyper-ambitious and thinking she would run for office to me seems a stretch.
Make no mistake the Obamas are progressive leftists whose ideas I disagree with nearly across the board. In fact I'd go so far as to say I'm not away of one idea that they have fought for through his legislative career, nor his present campaign for President that I would agree with.
From taxes to homosexual activism and everything in between particularly in the defense of our homeland - I couldn't disagree more with them.
But let it be noted clearly that the Obamas on the family level are an entirely different crew than the uber-pragmatic Clintons. For one - they love each other, and are raising two beautiful kids. Michelle was on record as NOT wanting Obama to run for both Senate AND President early on, and has said publicly that if he doesn't succeed on this go around - she doesn't want him to run again. She insists that they would then go back to their career as law professors, hospital administrators, etc. You know the respectable professions they practiced prior to going on the public dole. And THAT'S something that the Clinton's have never known ANYTHING about.
