BloggeRhythms

Well, it’s Thursday morning, the Republican presidential debate’s over and I didn’t watch it at all. According to news reports, after the candidates presented themselves, there was much back and forth banter and Carly Fiorina did very well again. 
 
In summation, as far as the candidate's running at present are concerned, only a handful of those in contention have backgrounds proving their ability to successfully manage large states. Those responsibilities include: Dealing with bureaucracy’s and government unions, overseeing national guards and critically important, coordinating and working with state legislatures in the approval of state budgets and appropriations; the enactment of state legislation, confirmation of executive and judicial appointments; and legislative oversight of executive branch functions.
 
Virtually none of the aforementioned duty’s have been performed by senators or congressmen running at present. And certainly not by the doctor or businessman nor businesswoman. However, since the presidency requires skills and proven experience on not only what’s required of governor's, but much more, how on earth will those lacking the large state experience learn how to perform what’s needed?
 
The horrendous past seven years provide the answer to that one, because the position of POTUS certainly shouldn’t be one that’s learned on the job. All the glib talk and snappy put-downs in the world won’t turn the U.S. around, however, successful use of large-state governing skill sets certainly will.
 
Which brings us to today ‘s update on Bill Clinton’s wife, that includes two subtle indications of her significant vulnerability.
 
In the New York Post’s pagesix.com, Emily Smith, writes that, “Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner is out of work again after just two months on the job at the powerhouse public relations firm MWW.
 
“According to an internal memo from MWW chief Michael Kempner, Weiner was a victim of the media who left of his own accord to start his own company and “He understands that his presence here has created noise and distraction that just isn’t helpful.”
 
What’s most interesting is that: “Weiner, however, criticized the memo, saying he didn’t “express any of those sentiments” expressed by Kempner.” And that sounds very much like Wiener was probably fired, which indicates a lot about Bill Clinton’s wife.
 
Because if Kempner truly believed Bill’s wife was going to become elected president, and Wiener is married to her closest ally and confidant, Huma Mahmood Abedin, Kempner would likely do whatever was necessary to keep Wiener employed at MWW. Yet, since he fired him anyway, it looks like Kempner doesn’t think Bill’s wife is going to make it back to the White House again.
 
At the same time, Michael Warren notes in The Blog @weekly standard.com that Jerry Brown, who has run for president three before, spoke with Wolf Blitzer about the current Democratic field. “California governor Jerry Brown gave signs in a Wednesday interview on CNN that he may be considering running for president.”
 
So, here we have another case where weakness on Bill’s wife’s part is suspected. In this case by a seasoned political professional who’s done this three times before. 
 
All of which indicates that the ongoing question needs asking again: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this?  
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
