Yes, I was up early this morning, and
caught a Col. Wilkinson, who had been Gen. Powell’s Chief of Staff when he was
Secretary of State, speaking on CNN about how he is working in Congress to
explain what was wrong with that letter to Iran signed by 47 Senators, and
where to go from here.
Gen. Powell has been getting TONS of
favorable press, lately, and one of my first thoughts seeing Col. Wilkinson,
was that he must know Col. Dottie Newman, Powell’s Chief Protocol Officer while
Sect. of State, quite well. Naturally, I got rather excited. I’m ready to sign
up for his campaign!!!
The most recent poll shows Hillary
Clinton not losing too much popularity over these emails – and her handling of
that. I really don’t think she could win the general election, but she’s too
addicted to the race to back down – and clearly very powerful. She, like Dick
Cheney of Republicans, is the one most feared of Democrats, so no others really
run. This mess will put Democrats at a big disadvantage – but only if the
Republicans have a viable candidate – and I only see Gen. Powell as capable of
filling that role.
Actually, I don’t think anyone will
have to work too hard to reform the Republicans – they’ve been looking for an
actual leader for decades. And they are waking up to the hate and lies of
previous Republicans (and Democrats as well).
I told Mom this morning, that it would
be totally cool if Dottie Newman got into campaigning for the General – Dottie
had told me how she, Gen. Powell, and his wife Alma sat around their kitchen
table many times discussing if a run in 2008 would be safe, eventually deciding
not. And when we have a President Powell, I will figure out how to get invited
to the White House on my OWN steam, rather than as an attachment to Tennessee
Williams.
I believe that my “citizen action” of
pushing the Justice Department to investigate the corruption in Wilmington,
North Carolina – coupled with all the findings and evidence I have stored to
support my claims – might do it.
Well, my glory is not the point. A
healthy United States of America IS the point – and better relations with our
Latin neighbors, especially Mexico.
So all that said, I now enter a
two-week period of relative calm (I hope).
