Hillary May Be On Other End Of That 3 a.m. Call
CBS ^ | 12/1/08 | Marcia Kramer

It's official – Sen. Hillary Clinton is moving on.

On Monday she has accepted the President-elect Barack Obama's nomination to be Secretary of State.

It's a far cry from a year ago, when Clinton was ripping into Obama for his slim resume on foreign affairs.

But, that was then and this is now.

The former rivals were side by side Monday and the two had nothing but praise for each other.

Obama had better be just setting Clinton up to get zotted in the Senate confirmation hearings. If she's confirmed as Secretary of State, there is more than a little chance that he will be forced out of office by the trouble she causes in four years, or even less.

Consider Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger. One nearly got Vice President Cheney indicted and certainly got his chief of staff convicted. The other was, well, Henry Kissinger (Nixonites know what I'm talking about). Hillary Clinton is more devious than Powell and Kissinger put together. For example, if there is a Kenyan birth certificate, the Secretary of State can find it, or even have it manufactured if none exists.

The Secretary of State has access to things that Barak Obama has never even heard about. Hillary Clinton is fully aware of all it.

But hey, who knows? Hillary Clinton may well prove to be the good loyal team player for the one man who prevented her from being President of the United States. Also, pigs may fly.

How would you like to be Joe Biden, who was supposed to be the foreign policy guy? Obambi now has 2 Secretaries of State to deal with foreign policy, Hitlery, and Susan Rice, the ambassador to the UN who he is raising to cabinte level. What will Biden be allowed to do?

Who knows. What is clear, however, is that the Clintons are not beyond revenge and were not treated fairly in the primaries by the MSM, BO or the DNC.

Affirmative Action President for Life - Obama
Vice President - Biden
Speaker of the House - Pelosi
President pro tempore of the Senate - Byrd
Secretary of State - Clinton

I'd like to think that is too many obstacles even for Hillary, but still I would not want to be above her on the list!

“Oh, Barry, We got a problem.”

“Jeez, Hill, it’s 3 a.m. for Pete’s sake, and what do you mean we?, whitey”

What no one seems to mention in all of the Hill-buzz is that she has absolutely zero foreign policy experience. Unless hosting a state dinner or showing the wives of foreign leaders around the WH is considered experience.

I predict...Hillary and Barack are planning on running together in 2012.

Obama realizes his vp elect idiot was a bad choice and he will step down for health reasons after fourr years.

This allows Hillary to be VP then run on her own in 2016...if she doesnt Arkanside him and take over earlier.</futurevision>

Bubba did mention that O called hitlery for advice during the original bailout conversations in D.C.

It is doubtful O has a clue about anything.

I think that Hitlery is setting her self up to be the next President when 0bama’s real birth certificate surfaces and he is disqualified. Her argument to the Electoral College will be that she was second in the Democrat primary, and recognized by 0bama as a foreign policy expert.
