I am a big believer in the “law of return” call it what you will, karma, sow what you reap, tit for tat, chickens come home to roost, an eye for an eye.

Those trained to be observant see this work daily. NO ONE ESCAPES. The thing I find most interesting is the payback is usually PERFECT. It strikes at the very heart of what we desire most in the world. WHATEVER that desire might be … it will be withheld or tarnished in some way. There is no REWARD for bad behavior. There is no discussion of what is or is not bad behavior …. WE ALL innately know in our heart.

Here is a perfect example:

We all know how a large part of the population has ragged incessantly on George Bush for one thing or another over the last 8 years. The bottom line is simple. No matter what anyone says … this man and his family are the epitome of classy.

Hillary and Bill Clinton were for the most part darlings of politics for the 8 years he held office. Clinton received a pass for most of his past bad behavior. Hillary went along for whatever reason and actually was a part of it all on some level.

It is my belief her fondest desire was the Presidency of 2008. It was snatched from her grasp from literally an unknown at the last moment. Why? How did this happen? Barack Obama CERTAINLY OFFERED NOTHING in the way of experience over what Hillary had to offer.

The sad TRUTH is Barack Obama had less to offer in any way shape or form than Sarah Palin. Who today is still ragged on incessantly by those who dislike her for whatever their reasons. But those who dislike her can not seem to see that for themselves. It is an interesting dichotomy to observe.

The comparison of behavior between outgoing President Bush & family and President Clinton & Hillary is an interesting example indeed.

Now:
1. Outgoing President George W. Bush quietly boards his helicopter and leaves for Texas, commenting only: “Today is not about me. Today is a historical day for our nation and people.”

Eight years ago:
1. Outgoing President Bill Clinton schedules two separate radio addresses to the nation, and organizes a public farewell speech/ rally in downtown Washington D.C. scheduled to directly conflict with incoming President Bush’s inauguration ceremony.

Now:
2. President Bush leaves office without issuing a single Presidential pardon, only granting a commutation of sentence to two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting a convicted drug smuggler. He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner.

Eight years ago:
2. President Clinton issues 140 pardons and several commutations of sentence on his final day in office. Included in these are: billionaire financier, convicted tax evader, and leading Democratic campaign contributor Marc Rich; Whitewater scandal figure Susan McDougal; Congressional Post Office Scandal figure and former Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; convicted bank fraud, sexual assault and child porn perpetrator and former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds; and convicted drug felon Roger Clinton, the President’s half-brother.

Now:
3. The Bush daughters leave gift baskets in the White House bedrooms for the Obama daughters, containing flowers, candy, stuffed animals, DVD’s and CD’s, and heartfelt notes of encouragement and advice for the young girls on how to prepare for their new lives in the White House.

Eight years ago:
3. Clinton and Gore staffers rip computer wires and electrical outlets from the White House walls, stuff piles of notebook papers into the White House toilets, systematically remove the letter “W” from every computer key-pad in the entire White House, and damage several thousand dollars worth of furniture in the White House master bedroom.
