Hillary Clinton’s announcement reminded me of Ronald Reagan

Hillary Rodham Clinton (Kai Moerk 2012)

Hillary Clinton made the news today:

February 18, 2013

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton looks set to enter the lucrative speaking circuit as early as this spring, in the first phase of her public life after four years in the Obama administration.

The popular Democrat has signed on with the Harry Walker agency, which also handles speaking engagements for her husband, former president Bill. She is expected to draw fees in the high six-figures for some talks. The news was first reported by Politico, the Washington-based politics site.

The former secretary’s next moves are being closely watched for signs that she is running – or not – for the presidency in 2016…

A survey this month by Quinnipiac University, a major pollster, found that Clinton is the most popular political figure in the United States, with a 61-34 split in her favorability rating. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/18/hillary-clinton-enters-speaking-circuit

Hillary may or may not run for the US presidency. However, back in April 2012, her husband and former US President, Bill Clinton, said he would be happy if she did (Bill Clinton hints of Hillary running for US Presidency and there have been some other hints that she might (see also Hillary Clinton to run for US presidency in 2016?). As far back as 2006 (News of The Churches of God) and 2007 (News of The Churches of God) I also commented about a possible Hillary Clinton presidency, and feel that it remains a possibility–though not a certainty.

After Ronald Reagan failed to get the Republican nomination for president in 1976, he did a lot of speaking (including being on the radio). This kept his name in front of potential political supporters.

By accepting the speaking route, Hillary Clinton can have control of her workload, make money, keep her name in the news, and meet with various supporters should she choose to run for the presidency of the USA.

Ever since Margaret Thatcher was prime minister of the United Kingdom, I have felt that it is likely that the USA would end up with a female president or at least a highly influential woman in a top level federal government job. And Hillary Clinton has been fulfilling the latter for four years (as also have various female Supreme Court justices, etc.).

A female presidency can partially fulfill a prophecy in Isaiah 3:12:

As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths…

Of course, women are influential in the English-speaking nations and it is not absolutely required that the USA itself have a woman president, but I do feel that if we do get one, that this would be a partial, but significant, fulfillment of that prophecy.

When Barack Obama was re-elected I posted that I did not believe that the Great Tribulation would begin until after his second term ended (see Obama Re-Elected, So What is Ahead?). However, presuming she actually gets elected to become US President, the Great Tribulation could be during a Hillary Clinton term.

But we will see first if she if fact does decide to run.

Several articles of possibly related interest may include:
