In Wesley Pruden’s “Pruden on Politics” column for “The Washington Times” dated Tuesday, July 2 titled “No Gallantry for Hillary,” he discusses possible future options for Mrs. Clinton, including her anticipated 2014 run for the presidency. He brings up a very interesting point towards the end of his article – one that raised many issues (and eyebrows) during the 2010 Presidential election, but seems almost forgotten now. Remember the 2008 TV commercial from her campaign suggesting that Barack Obama “wouldn’t know what to do if the red telephone rang at the White House at 3 o’clock in the morning”? Well, Mr. Pruden goes on to point out what we all know…the telephone did indeed ring at 3 a.m. at the State Department with news from Benghazi that our ambassador and other Americans were under attack. And not only are we asking: where was President Obama?, we are also asking: where was Hilary??????? And her defense was the huffy and inappropriate, “What difference does it make?” Well, she thought it made a difference when the shoe was hypothetically on the other foot during her run for the Presidency. And it should matter now. Mr. Pruden recommends that Hilary give up her dream of becoming President and to instead become the president of Wellesley (Mr. Pruden is editor emeritus of The Washington Times).
