Serious Concerns over a Hillary Clinton Presidency

Some Objective facts surrounding the next President, Hillary Clinton.

I’m no Trump supporter..I think he could be the worst person in American politics since Joe McCarthy….probably way worse than Joe McCarthy. Trump as President, to me, is unthinkable…

But, in all our disgust and shock over the behavior of Donald Trump….I maintain that we are forgetting or “rounding the edges” on the serious concerns over a Hillary Clinton Presidency…

Here is a list of incontrovertible facts…not opinions or guesses, but facts:

1. Hillary voted to go to war with Iraq over the alleged WMD’s.

2. As Secretary of State She lobbied President Obama hard and successfully to assist in an overthrow of the Libyan government…(regime change). This lead to a highly predictable vacuum that ISIS filled.

3. As Secretary of State she lobbied President Obama hard and unsuccessfully to intervene in Syria and now advocates a “no fly” zone which many in both parties say is an act that could lead to an all out war with Russia.

I won’t go into Benghazi because I think that is a cloudy area.

As far as her emails:

We know that she was “extremely careless” as per FBI director James Comey in handling classified information by storing it unsecured on her private server in her home.

We also know that Hillary lied repeatedly and verifiably to the American people (though the FBI won’t say that she lied to them). She told the American people more than 13 direct lies relating to her emails.

False statements as confirmed (on video in front of House Oversight Committee in Congress):

1. Secretary Clinton said that she never sent or received any classified emails

2. She said there was nothing marked "classified" on her emails

3. She said she didn’t email any classified material…

4. Secretary Clinton said she used just one device…she used 13

5. She said that “all work related emails were returned to the State Dept.” all …thousands were not returned.

6. She said that neither she nor anyone else deleted work related emails from her personal account. This was false.

7. She said that her lawyers read every one of the emails and and were overly inclusive…They were not…

I won’t go into the Clinton Foundation or “pay to play” allegation because that is murky at his time.

We know that Hillary lied about being under sniper fire in Bosnia. It was caught on tape. Her landing was completely peaceful where children met her on the tarmac and there was no threat whatsoever. Hillary later said that she “misremembered” the events of her landing though she repeated her claim of the sniper fire on numerous occasions during speeches prior to being confronted on her inaccurate statements.

(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.

Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."

Clinton told the paper's editorial board it was a "minor blip”

"I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.

In a radio interview that aired Tuesday, Clinton said she wasn't worried about the incident hurting her credibility.

"I have been in the public eye for many, many years, and this is something that I think happens to anybody," she told radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In a foreign policy speech last week at George Washington University, Clinton used the description of a dangerous arrival to bolster her argument that she has the foreign policy experience needed to be commander in chief.

She said when she arrived in Bosnia on March 25, 1996, "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

But news video footage of her arrival at Tuzla shows Clinton, then the first lady, calmly walking from the rear ramp of a U.S. Air Force plane with her daughter, Chelsea, then 16, at her side. Both Clintons held their heads up and did not appear rushed.

The video shows Clinton spending several minutes talking with the group, including an 8-year-old Bosnian girl who presented her with a poem, and later greeting U.S. troops.

Clinton has mentioned the sniper fire at least twice earlier in the campaign, including in December in Dubuque, Iowa, before the caucuses in that state.

Clinton's campaign has made foreign policy experience a centerpiece of her effort to come back against Obama, whom she is trailing in delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination.

These are facts that either reflect some very provocative foreign policy decisions in the eyes of many or they reflect a deliberate and repeated willingness to lie. I am putting no editorial spin on these facts…they are just facts that are there for review.

The NY Times editorial page yesterday ran a column called “The Hawk on Russia Policy? Hillary Clinton, Not Donald Trump". I wont’ even spin the article in an attempt to just present the facts…

I think that when people, including myself, vote for Hillary Clinton in November we realize that this person has these facts (and many others) that are attached to her character and her judgment…..you can’t say that we didn’t tell you…I, for one, will be voting for her with great reservation and resentment at my having to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton…the unthinkable, and the horrible.
