If Hilary was elected, would Bill make a good first lady?

I like her and think she would make a fine president, even with all the lies and hate that the repuglicans are spreading about her. She has been a good senator for New York, and she has experience in the white house and would have one of the best people to be one of her advisers. Who better then her husband. She cares more about the working people then most repuglicans and I think socialized healthcare time has come and I think she would at least push for it. I just think she is a smart and intelligant lady and what happened between Bill and Monica is nobodys business but theirs.

That's debateable. Many people say that if Bill Clinton dies before early 2008, Hillary Clinton will be able to rise to the presidency under the sympathy-factor.\n\nUnder a long term, its inevitable. Who knows how long it will take though.

Lets say for the sake of argument that Senator Clinton won the  presidential election in 2008. Right out of the box she'd be hated by at least half the voters. Hated before she even set foot in the White House. (They'd probably burn her in effigy in The South.)\n\nConservative talk show hosts have used the Clintons as punching bags and blame everything from bad weather to every problem facing the world today on them. (They must have been one powerful family to do so much damage.)\n\nSince the right wing media has put so much emphasis on hating the Clintons, there will be baggage she will carry going into the White House, regardless if its merited or not. Even if she fixed the federal debt and defict, solved the tensions in the Middle East peacefully, ended world hunger, cured cancer, and put a team of astronauts on Mars, the right wing media would continue to demonize her.\n\nWhat does it take to be president in the first place? You need to be politically connected to big business and many lobbying groups. You need support from a major political party, and you have to have access to a public relations firm that can sell you better than your opponent.\n\nThat being said, let's look at Senator Clinton objectively. She's been a lawyer, a senator, and First Lady. She's got White House experience, leadership experience with various charity and women's groups, and she's an intelligent strong minded woman. \n\nShe'd most likely be a president who would work to build bridges (politically speaking) but be hated for trying to do it. She'd work to make America a stronger nation, and be dogged and attacked every step of the way. (I do believe she loves this country, just not the way Republicans do.) I believe she has some great ideas that would make America a better country, but again, she'd face superhuman opposition from the right to anything she tried to do as president. (They really hate her.)\n\nSo, I would say she has the right set of skills to be president, but she wouldn't be as effective as she could be due to the mounting attacks and political baggage the right has (and would) burdened her with. \n\nThat being said, the current president has made such a mess of things, I really feel sorry for the next president. He (or she) will be hated no matter what actions he/she takes. This country has been so divided by the Bush administration and the Republican media attack machine. \n\n9/11 should have unified us all, but the Republicans and the Bush administration took it as an opportunity for their political ambitions, and have left us a weaker, less democratic, and more divided nation. \n\nSadly, the presidential race is more of a horse race than an important event. It's like a popularity contest, or a beauty contest. We've lost sight of electing people who would work for the betterment of the country and of the people. We now have slicked up electioneering that overlooks the real values of Americans and overlooks the real issues we're concerned about. (Real issues like jobs, education, health care, and security.)\n\nElections are now decided on "wedge issues" which have little or no meaning to most Americans. (Gay marriage, abortion, public display of the 10 Commandments, etc.) They're decided on which candidate appears better in tv commercials than on substance.\n\nHillary Clinton is a woman of substance. She'd make a great president, but she doesn't have a prayer of ever being the Commander-in-Chief.\n\nI'm really doubtful the next president can fix the divide that has been created by the right wing echo chamber. I'm doubtful the next president can fix the international relations that have been trashed by Bush, and I'm doubtful the next president can or will fix the federal deficit and budget problems. (He or she would have to things like raise taxes. The number one sin for a politician these days.)\n\nI'm hoping things will get better. It

I would vote for her even though she isn't Liberal enough for me. (When you hear that commie, liberal propaganda about her, you know immediately that person knows nothing about her politics and is uneducated on politics)\n\nThe reason is because I feel it would send an extremely positive message to the world during a time when we need that very much.\n\nJust imagine having Bill Clinton's enormous global diplomacy backing her... he could be send on humanitarian and peace keeping missions.\n\nThe world respected and admired Bill and it would be my hope that by electing Hillary that we might find away to recover from the destruction Bush has done to our reputation.

One would assume it is the fact she was a Senator twice.  I seem to recall she worked on the impeachment hearings of President Nixon.  In any case she has a decent background in serving in/near the US government.  \nBTW I am against Hilary being President but I must confess her background is not bad and I'd say somewhat better than slick Willie her husband.

C. Rice by far!\n\nShe's more intelligent and not known for her mean evilness that Hillary IS and has been talked about by those close to Hillary.\n\nI also think that having the first female AND black u.s. president wouldn't hurt our world image either.\n\nI think the u.s. is ready for such a president... especially one as brilliant as C. Rice.

Hillary Clinton never lived in New York.  She still got elected to represent them.  There is talk that she might run for Pres. in the next election.  She has raised MILLIONS of dollars already and is capable of raising MILLIONS more.  She is the first woman to actually have a chance of winning the presidency.  The 2 main reasons a person gets elected is they have MONEY or they have a good NAME.  She has both!!  She won't have to compete with a current President either which is tough to do.   Bush won because of his name.  The republican party does not have any strong candidate possibilities either. You have to remember taht Bill Clinton, even after Monica had a very good popularity rating with voters. I don't think she will win.  I don't think the US is ready for a woman president.  I think a minority will be in office first.  But  I am probably wrong.  I will not be suprised iff she ran and won.

if the attention that this question is getting is any indication, she will certainly inspire a lot of strong feelings on both sides and will make things interesting.  Personally, i think she would make an excellent President.

Well, anything spawned by Hilary would be ugly, but at least she'd have Bush's personality which is a relief, cuz Hilary is a moron.

Absolutely it would be, If Bill Clinton was allowed additional terms as President, he would be President right now.

No.  She will always have the ethics cloud that hung over Bill C and will always be judged in that regard.  She will always be remembered on the world stage as being the wife of Bill Clinton.\n\nPlus lets face it, if she runs we'll be hearing about Monica's dress and the cigar for duration fo the campaign.  And the rest of Bill's concubine will be dragged out of the shadows of obscurity again, and I personally have heard enough about them.

Nay.\n\nBefore Bill Clinton was elected, Hillary "Clinton" portrayed herself as a "stand by my man" kind of woman. She wore long hair and appeared on TV shows wearing dresses and baking cookies. After Clinton was elected, she become Hillary "Rodham-Clinton", chopped off her hair and wore suits in favor of dresses. She misrepresented herself because she thought it would further Bill Clinton's career.\n\nAfter Clinton was elected, Bill Clinton appointed Hillary Clinton to the National Health Care Task Force. And the policies she came up and tried to push bordered on Communism. And this appointment despite the fact that not one American had ever voted for her for anything. Congress was not given the opportunity to confirm her to a position that had the potential to affect every American in world.\n\nHillary Clinton is universally hated by conservatives and Republicans alike. Among the Democrats, it is a split vote. Some Democrats cannot stand her. Some liberals cannot stand her. Some women cannot stand her. And those are her three main bases. With half the country (conservatives and Republicans) against her, she would have to have a solidified base amongst Democrats, liberals and women. And she does not have it.\n\nWatch Hillary Clinton. She is just like her husband and adjusts her positions based on opinion polls. I say, "No, thank you." I would rather have someone in office who has the strength of his convictions, who knows the difference between right and wrong and acts on it.
