Not Hillary

It may be time for a woman to be president, but it shouldn’t be Hillary Clinton.

When I was drafted into the infantry during the early 1950s she was still playing hopscotch; I earned $80 a month. During my teaching career, I began with $4,000 a year.

Hence, if you totaled my salaries for the first 20 years, it did not equal the $200,000 she earns for a sometimes-vacuous speech.

I’m not sure her knowledge can match her ego — and that doesn’t make a good president.

George Manos, Margate
