Hillary Clinton Would Be a Nightmare

Dear Editor,
    Louis Black is way off the mark if he believes that Hillary Clinton represents a positive change from the current administration [“Page Two,” Jan. 11].
    Just because she is female, don't be duped. Remember, she was a staunch Republican before hubby Bill's candidacy made it more convenient for her to be a Democrat.
    More importantly, if you do your homework on her, you'll find that she is beholden to big money and special interests.
    Her Middle East policy is drafted by the hawkish Israeli lobby (bombs away), and her fiscal direction comes from big-business interests.
    A Hillary Clinton presidency would be more of the same – more unprovoked wars and a nightmare for the average American.

   [Louis Black responds: I'm wondering exactly where I wrote that Hillary Clinton "represents a positive change from the current administration." Rather than endorse any candidate, I just was happy that a more diverse group of candidates than just older, white males were doing well in the primaries. But now that you bring it up, again without endorsing Hillary, almost any of the candidates running, regardless of party affiliation would represent a positive change from this administration, but that's not really any kind of support. Rather, it is because they have lowered the bar to the ground.]
