Hillary Imagines Being "President
Again"

Hillary Clinton waffles on giving drivers licenses to illegal
immigrants, then makes what some have called a "Freudian
slip."

Girl Can't Help It"
How many people have picked up on the following "slip of
the tongue" from Hillary as she was being interviewed on
her immigration stance by Candy Crowley of CNN on Nov. 06, 2007?
For those who missed it, here it is:
CROWLEY: If I wrote a story that said: "Absent a broad
illegal immigration bill, Hillary Clinton agrees about giving
driver's licenses to illegal immigrants," is that correct?
CLINTON: No. What I have said is that I support what governors
are trying to do. And governors are on the front lines because
of the failures to get comprehensive immigration reform. There
are already eight states that issue driver's licenses without
any verification of citizenship. That is a decision that the
governors and legislatures and the people of those states have
made. I understand...
CROWLEY: But you see why people think...
CLINTON: Well, but you know, Candy...
CROWLEY: ... that you are not answering the question.
(Article continues below)
CLINTON: Well, but you know, Candy, well, but I think that
if you go back and look at the complexity of this issue, I don't
think a lot of these hard questions lend themselves to raising
your hand. And I know that that's easier in a 30 second context
to try to do. I think the fact that governors are being forced
into this position is really unfortunate. They should not be
making immigration policy. The federal government should be
making immigration policy and that's what I'm going to try to
do as president again and I do not believe that in the context
of federal immigration reform that that would be an issue that
governors would have to contend with."
We're guessing that what Hillary meant to say in that last sentence
was something like this: "The federal government should be
making immigration policy, and again, that's what I'm going to
try to do as president."
That's one interpretation. Another is that it was a Freudian
slip. "Hillary's use of 'again' ('that's what I'm going to
try to do as president again') has drawn a lot of notice as a
Freudian slip," says Thomas Lifson at American Thinker. "I
think it also shows that Hillary is reeling, truly off-balance,
winging it. She is much more comfortable with scripted answers."
Now, a hypothetical question: If this was a Freudian slip and
Hillary secretly believes she was co-president back when her husband
occupied the Oval Office, maybe she should take herself out of
the race. After all, a president can only serve two terms.
