Hillary's Holiday Greeting

It seems to me that this holiday greeting from Hillary Clinton will completely backfire.

It's bad enough that she treats all these costly new government programs as gifts to be given when it's NOT HER MONEY but is the taxpayer's money. It seems to me that if you are giving a gift, you should give it with your own money, not someone else's money.

It is also has a dud of a message, with the "Happy Holidays" graphics at the end that look like it was designed by the Lord of the Rings. I can just bet that she had a committee saying "should we say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays--mustn't offend anyone. You know what? The whole idea behind this ad offends me.

Contrast this ad with better ones from Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, and Barack Obama.

Almost everything a politician does, is done with taxpayers' money. Politics is all about who to tax how much to pay for doing what for (or to!) whom.

I'd overlook, though, the cases where the money went through a stage of being a politicians's salary.... :-)
