Clinton Derangement Syndrome?

B-Daddy here. I was a bit depressed yesterday to learn that I am suffering from Clinton Derangement Syndrome. Fred Siegel has a thoughtful article explaining that my desire for Obama to beat Clinton for the Democrat nomination is irrational. He correctly points out that Senator Obama has a much more liberal voting record than Senator Clinton. He points out that Obama is virtually an empty suit. He points out that Obama's pronouncements on Pakistan have been self contradictory. And here I am loathing Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But then I started remembering. I remember the firing of the White House travel staff. I remember the Clinton's (and Hillary Clinton) bringing in the FBI, when they could have just replaced the staff as "at-will" employees. I remember them trashing the good names of "little people" for their own convenience. I remember that friends and relations of the Clintons wanted the travel work for themselves. I remember that Hillary Clinton was the force behind it all.

I remember that 900 FBI files, including files on prominent Republicans, turned up in the White House. I remember allegations that this was at Hillary Clinton's request.

I remember reports that the Clintons made use of indicted private investigator and wiretapper Anthony Pellicano to clean up Bimbo eruptions.

I remember the irregularities in the way that Hillary Clinton handled the Vince Foster suicide note and how there were inconsistencies in her account of those events. (I am not suggesting that Foster did not commit suicide.)

The trend line is someone who is willing to use all the considerable power of the White House and Federal government to further her own ends, and all of this occurred while she was only First Lady. I fear for our liberties if she is elected in a way that I would not if Obama were. And I don't really feal deranged at all.
