Open Letter to President Clinton

Dear President Clinton,

The United States knows that you owe Hillary, and we are conscious of your attraction in working to get back into the White House; however, we want you to stop. Your cherry-picking references out of Senator Obama’s comments, out of their context, make me like your wife’s campaign even less. I don’t know how to say this, as your eight years were good ones for this country, as a whole, but we don’t want to regress. Senator Clinton winning the White House would be a regression back to an era of awful partisan politics.

I am sincere in this perspective, as your wife continues to have the same foes you had together when you were in the White House. One can see this, in that Republican strategists are praying for your Senator Clinton to win the Democratic nomination, because they see her as the one lock to maintain control of the White House. Unfortunately, as much as Republican stances displease me and the electorate when deconstructed for what they are, the electorate does not like your wife, nor do I.

Why don’t I like your wife? That’s a great question, and one which I’ll be happy to answer. Of course, I don’t like that she voted for President Bush’s authorization for Iraq, but beyond that, I see her as among the most politically expedient people in this country’s political system. How is she different than anyone else you ask? Well, she did not divorce you following you cheating on her, which to me seems more opportunistic than anything else. In my humble opinion, her staying with you following your terms in the White House is the ultimate move for political expediency.

I know; I know, right now, it makes good sense for you to attack Obama, as you have the prestige to do so, but come on, do you think it’s not transparent to Americans whom support Obama? Quite simply, for Democrats, a primary vote for Hillary, leading to a nomination, is a vote for whomever the Republicans nominate. I do not know one person that likes or gets behind Senator Clinton. For one, I can only say that if she were nominated, I would hop fences to vote for McCain.

Why would I betray some political stances of mine to vote for McCain over your wife? Well, for one, I find your wife to be disingenuous. Two, listening to her speak is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. I tried to give her time on Meet the Press yesterday, and I had to turn it off, as she repelled me. Of course, keeping it to these two factors, I would have to go for McCain. That is mostly because he is the lesser of many evils on the Republican-side. I feel as though McCain would do less overall damage to the electorate than your wife.

With all due respect, please bow out of your wife’s campaign, and go play some golf. Retire and enjoy it! You arguing on behalf of your wife, against Obama, is unattractive. It is killing your game.

Warmest Regards,
Matt
