Hillary Clinton Is Throwing Obama Under The Bus For A 2012 Run
Mediaite.com ^ | 05/12/2010 | Dick Morris

Posted on 05/13/2010 5:26:47 AM PDT by safetysign

On 60 Minutes earlier this week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commented that the American economy is making it more difficult for her to do her job because other nations are telling her that “we always look to you because you have this great economy, and now you’re in the ditch.” Bill O’Reilly saw “a little jab” at the President in those comments, blaming the White House for her job troubles, but guest Dick Morris took that premise a bit further, suggesting the remarks, coupled with her silence on health care reform, were a deliberate attempt to undermine the President building up to 2012.“I think there is a subtle distancing going on, and it began over health care,” Morris noted, pointing out that Clinton was not vocal about supporting health care reform. O’Reilly didn’t quite see the connection, since, after all, the Secretary of State rarely gives opinions on foreign policy, but Morris retorted that “She was doing this when she was First Lady!” and that, given the current potential backlash against Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections, “it’s possible that a grassroots swell comes up” and recruits Clinton to run against Obama in 2012.

O’Reilly, who agreed to some extent with the subtle distancing, added that he believed Clinton still had a very strong desire to be president, and that she may not have the “patience” to wait until 2016.

Does Hillary have any acting experience, at playing the role of the betrayed little woman?

Truly an odd dilemma here.

Hillary is after nothing but personnal power. But obama is actively working to teh death of America.

It seems that between the two Hillary (and it pains me to say this) is by far the better choice. She cannot achieve what she wants by destroying us. Obama can only achieve what he wants by destroying us.

Yes she does, remember the tears she shed before the 2008 New Hampshire primary? It worked, Bambi was leading in the polls until Hillary’s sympathy act went into action, she won by 4 - 5 points if I remember correctly.

I agree. I think The Great I Am maybe, just maybe should beef up his security detail. And Joe? Hell, that clown has been disposable since September 2008.

They also noted Hillary would be 70 years old.

You know, one heartbeat away...

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If Hillary wants to run (and if she can beat Barry and at least give the Republican nominee a run for it, you know she’s going to want to run) she will. Because like Bill’s urethra, so burns Hillary’s desire to be the first woman President. If Barry or anyone thought bringing her onto the Cabinet was going to insure against that...think again.

Ahem. Don’t doubt me.

Worked for Teddy Kennedy ... oh, wait.

Actually, it did work for Reagan ... belatedly.
