Woodrow Wilson and Hillary Clinton: When a President Keeps an Infirmity Hidden from the Public​

Joseph Patrick Tumulty is a name that every American should know; and yet so few do. He may have helped run the country for the last two years of Woodrow Wilson's Administration. This is what a Hillary Clinton presidency portends.

Joseph Tumulty was born in New Jersey in 1879. His parents were middle class ethnic Irish, and he became a lawyer, and later a state representative. However, Tumulty was an accomplished wheeler-dealer, and Woodrow Wilson called upon his services when he started his political climb from Princeton University academic to Governor of New Jersey and then President. Tumulty was Wilson's private secretary, a position that would morph in time to become the White House Chief of Staff, though in 1913, it bore a more humble title.

Wilson was a sturdy WASP, from a Southern Confederate background; yet he needed Tumulty, the ethnic Irish-American from the urban northeast to navigate his way through machine politics if he were to win a Democratic presidency.

Joseph Patrick Tumulty was secretary to President Woodrow Wilson, and no man since his time has ever held a comparable position of influence. Mr. Tumulty had no corps of "administrative assistants" such as supplied nowadays at the White House. He handled all press relations himself. He was not a member of the cabinet but had more influence than all of them combined. - Toledo Blade - 1954 (upon Tumulty's death)

As anyone knows, such a man can become a gatekeeper, and often becomes the power behind the throne.

Nor was Tumulty unscarred in his ascent. Tumulty was opposed to Wilson's second marriage to Edith Bolling Galt, another Southerner, in 1915, a year after Wilson''s first wife's death; and Edith took it personally. She wanted Tumulty removed. On top of that, there was a vicious strain of anti-Catholicism sweeping the country at that time; and Wilson, a dour Presbyterian, was susceptible to it. He was pressured to ditch Tumulty.

Tumulty appealed to Wilson for a reciprocation of the loyalty that he had shown to Wilson when Wilson was a nobody in politics. Wilson kept him.

When Wilson had his stroke in 1919, it was Tumulty and Edith who kept the news under wraps with the connivance of Dr. Grayson, the president's physician.

A lot of modern historians like to credit Mrs. Wilson with running the country. She did claim to have scrutinized all bills that came before the president, deciding what was worth passing on to him. And it does sound so gloriously feminist that a woman was in charge. But the fact is that she was not equipped for the job. Though her father was a lawyer, Edith did not have much of a formal education beyond finishing school. Historians say she cut Tumulty off from presidential access, but he was too involved for that to be fully plausible.

It must have been Tumulty, the lawyer and statehouse power broker, who guided Edith through the political process, answering questions such as “What does this legal phrase mean?” and “How would this bill fare in light of the Constitution?” He could warn, “ Don't waste your time passing this one to the President as I know the Congress, and this does not stand a chance.” This sort of advice must have aggravated her no end, as she despised Tumulty. But she was dependent on him.

Now, a few days ago, here on American Thinker, James Lewis opined that Hillary is so sickly that Huma Abedin could end up being acting president. While an excellent article, Mr. Lewis did not delve into the historical precedent of the Wilson presidency. Nor did he touch upon Joseph Tumulty, a man overlooked by most historians, who generally prefer the romantic vision of a loyal wife rather than admit the equally likely reality that a Northeast urban power broker was helping to run the country.

Nor is the general connivance of the press well known.

So, who's been running the country during Obama's term? It obviously hasn't been him. He's too busy fundraising, golfing and watching sports on TV to be bothered with the actual duties of the office. The easy answer is Valerie Jarret, but I don't think it's that simple. While she plainly has a lot of influence, I wonder if the communist takeover of America isn't actually the work of a cabal of dozens or perhaps hundreds of people, mostly from other countries. Obama is just their pitchman.
A key participant in any puppet master cover-up would be the MSM. The MSM covered up FDR's and JFK's physical problems and womanizing. They protected LBJ's and Bubba's womanizing. The hanging question is, if Hillary is elected, who will really be running this country, Bubba, Huma, or Goldman Sach's?
