Hillary Clinton has flatly said she’ll never run for president again. She’s even mused about retirement. But can a woman who fought so hard and came so close to bagging the big enchilada last time around suddenly flip off the ambition switch?
Ask yourself: particularly in light of her trip to Pakistan, who’s sounding more like a Commander-in-Chief these days: Hillary Clinton or that hope-’n-change fella back in DC?
This morning’s Today show ran part of Andrea Mitchell’s interview of Hillary in Pakistan. You can question the wisdom of Clinton having scolded the Pakistanis for providing al Qaeda a “safe haven in Pakistan since 2002,” adding “I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn’t get them if they really wanted to.” But you sure can’t question her moxie in making those statements while on Pakistani soil.

Denials aside, Hillary harboring presidential ambitions? Ping to Today show list.
I don’t know who is doing it Obama or Hillary but she is made out to being a fool as Secretary of State.
Hill displayed her desire last week in Pakistan. She wants to be POTUS and wants is bad...

Hillary is Brutus to Obama’s Caesar.
I wouldn’t put some political backstabbing out of the question if it involves Hillary.
>>I don’t know who is doing it Obama or Hillary but she is made out to being a fool as Secretary of State.<<
She is going to go down as the most useless SOS ever. She is just a fancy-named messenger for what passes for “foreign policy” in this administration: Bash our friends, coddle our enemies, support totalitarianism.
“Hill displayed her desire last week in Pakistan. She wants to be POTUS and wants is bad.”
That’s how it struck me. Can Obama and his advisers really be pleased by her macho performance?
Hillary lies ..... a lot.

It's because she is a fool; even if you hated Bush, he knew how to be CIC of the military -- Democrats hate the military and haven't a clue on how to lead them.
Why do all these liberal women so quickly bend to sexist protocol when in places like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Jordan?
Hillary will resign at the beginning of 2010 (Kerry will replace her), and she’ll graciously thank Obama for giving her the opportunity of running Foggy Bottom. Then she’ll write a book that’s critical of the Obama Administration’s approach to many vitally important areas of foreign affairs. Then she’ll go on a major speaking tour/book promotion where she will crank up the criticism of The One and his “troubling” presidency. She’ll claim all along that she has no interest in running for president, but behind the scenes Howard Wolfson and other Clinton loyalists will be putting together a team to take on Bambi. There will supposedly be groups popping up “everywhere” begging her to run. In the end she’ll pull a Ted Kennedy and announce she’s challenging Bambi for the Dem nod. Then get ready for the biggest political rumble this country has ever seen. I can’t wait to watch it.
I think she suspects there may never be another election in her lifetime.
Maybe, but her term as Sec. of State so far has shown her to be little more than a piece of furniture. Her political career is over.
Did anyone else note the caller on Rush’s show yesterday who got past the screener by saying he wanted to talk about Hillary in 2012. He came on and almost immediately mentioned Phil Berg. Rush then cut him off abruptly saying he hsd lied to the screener. Has Phil been lying in the weeds for Hill?
What goes with “Phil’s” cases?
Hillary will always run because she feels she has been denied. Who knows which is worse her or Obama. I say it’s a toss up.
Both should be jail instead of running for the higest office in the land.
She is a fool.
Hitlary looks like an old dufus by comparison....
i think the secretary of state wiil step down soon. To utter what she did to the pakistanis is just stupid. you gotta know when to bite your tongue...”Diplomatic”.
More like her Cassius to his Caesar.
i think you’re close to the truth....health problem coming???
“Then get ready for the biggest political rumble this country has ever seen. I can’t wait to watch it.”
You certainly could be right, and it would be hilarious to see her ripping him a new one with no holds barred!
Not if Republicans win in 2012 (she'll still be old though)
Like Sylvia Plath said: “Women love a fascist.”
parsy, the sardonic
Maybe bad cop to his good cop.
No I don't think they are pleased at all. She's over there dishin' dirt and what must certainly be perceived by the paks as disrespect; meanwhile, baraq is at home blowing little hope-a-dope bubbles like he expects the clock to run out and the problem to go away.
She looks like the fly in the ointment, the monkey in the wrench. And she's making a monkey out of 0bama. I don't think he likes being made a monkey of.
This could get interesting.
She’s been channeling Benazir Bhutto.
I’m guessing/hoping she’s smart enough to read the handwriting on the wall: All other things being equal the Reps take the white house in 12. Even Doonesbury is giving the Zero a tough time now.
In my opinion, Hillary will never make it.
I believe that she was judged and evaluated by the powers that be and found wanting. That is why we now have obama.
I have no proof either way, merly my opinion.
If so, she better keep her head down while she's in Pakistan...
I agree with you, but it won’t be a benign parting of ways...with a book deal.
No. Hillary, I think is waiting til ‘something’ happens, and she will resign (amid much press). I think she will take the ‘I can’t be a party to what is being done to our Country, I tried to do as much as I could as SOS but they fought me...”. She will be centrist and patriotic.
Remember, she had the nomination stolen from her; from the early caucuses to the shifting of delegates; to the SuperDuper delegates.
She was stabbed in the back by Team Obama; Pelosi; Reid; all the Kennedys.
What is it they say, that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
HRC, gloves off, going after the (now) weakened Obama will be awesome to watch :)
“I wouldn’t put some political backstabbing out of the question if it involves Hillary.”
Are you kidding me, political backstabbing will probably be her next bookdeal, which she can immeadiately dump into her warchest.
Tuesday will be a nice projector of Hopeychange’s future, or lack thereof. In which case, if it goes poorly with Dems losing in VA and NJ, will Hillary dump the SoS post before the 2010’s?
I’d bet whatever I have left in my 401k on it!
She has a larger staff than most in her position, but there are a lot of necessary players on the Exedc’s payroll. They will easily dump him like rats from a sinking ship.
Hillary will do to Obama what the national media refuse to do, and at which point the guy will be even more neutered than he already is.
Personally, I look forward to it!! But that may simply be my latent racist tendancies coming to the surface.
Your comments diminsh the capabilities of furniture.
Hillary’s sole identity is the adulation that feeds her galactic ego, and everything, without exception, is subordinated to that need. Her words, her marriage and her two-dimensional ideals will always yield to her ambition and unbridled lust for power.
A Hillary following Obammer as POTUS would be exactly like repeatedly stabbing a body you’ve already killed with a rather large gun.
“HRC, gloves off, going after the (now) weakened Obama will be awesome to watch.”
It’ll be a party.
She will destroy Obama and her own political future all at the same time.
What could be better?
She will resign just before she begins her 2012 campaign.
She respected the will of the people, and served in the position available to her. Now that they’ve seen the error of their ways, they have called upon her to stop the VRWC. She wanted to retire, she really meant it when she said she had no desire to run, but she’s been called upon and she can’t ignore the will of the people. Blah, blah, blah.
The smartest woman in the world lets herself be marginalized!
How long with she take Obamah's "back of the bus" treatment?
Seems Obamah is constantly sending his own pick to do Hillary's job.
Fearless prediction ( which I first wrote here a year ago): The Dems suffer major losses in 2010..I look for Hillary to resign as SecState, and announce she willenter the primaries against Obama
HUH? There is not a single Democrat in the entire administration that sounds like a Commander-in-Chief!
All I see are the usual tax and spend crowd, run and hide bunch, and emboldened by their congressional majority to establish uncivil, elitist behavior, take away guns from the hard-working voters, taking away their free speech, taking away their future and their children's future as they take our country to the third world.
She’s positioning for a challenge against a p*ssy lefty in the Carter mold.
The funny thing is that whoever emerges from the Bambi vs Hillary bloodbath will be severely wounded politically. Also, if Hillary was to take the nod from the incumbent president from her party I find it highly unlikely Bambi would endorse her.
“HRC, gloves off, going after the (now) weakened Obama will be awesome to watch :)”
I can’t wait to see it.
She is going to go down as the most useless SOS ever
Man I don’t know, just think back to Madelin!
That was my thought, however, last week's polls show her more popular than Zero. What has she done?
