ABC News, Political Radar, is reporting, “[B.J.] Clinton Won’t Attend NSC Meetings in a [Mrs. Clinton’s] White House:”
ABC News’ Jonathan Greenberger reports: If she makes it to the White House, Sen. Hillary Clinton said today her husband will take on the same responsibilities as traditional presidential spouses, with no access to National Security Council meetings.
“I think he would play the role that spouses have always played for presidents,” said Clinton, in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. “He will not have a formal, official role, but just as presidents rely on wives, husbands, fathers, friends of long years, he will be my close confidante and adviser as I was with him.”
During the Clinton administration, Mrs. Clinton never accepted the role as just another traditional spouse. There is no way that Mr. Clinton is ever going to accept the same role that she rejected.
Further, there is no way Mrs Clinton can afford to have B.J. free lancing on his own creating havoc with her policies. As a candidate, Mrs. Clinton can not control B.J. Neither will she be able to do so as President.
More over, is Mrs. Clinton now contending that she was just another spouse during the administration of her husband? If so, then what the green earth is the basis for her claiming experience from her husband’s administration? If not, why the reversal of policy? Is Mrs. Clinton’s conceding that the Clinton administration was a failure and she needs to reverse direction?
Or is Mrs. Clinton just parsing words like a Clinton?
More, Memeorandum.
