Hillary will.

“Here’s what I’ve learned being SecState . . . “

Then she’ll paint herself as the ultimate moderate, very much in the tradition of her husband. After all, only a liberal politician could have reformed welfare.

That’ll be the line. Sensible liberalism, and fiscal conservatism.

I give it a 25% percent chance - 1 in 4 - that she’ll run. Wall Street’s had it. Campus liberals think he’s an ass and a traitor. Unions are the last bastion for him, and he’s hanging it all on this NLRB case that the unions, for their sake, OUGHT to lose.

The economy’s not coming back, and people are starting to pick Jeff Immelt out of the background of the photos he’s in with Obama. That means NBC will have to dial back the propaganda too.

He’s going to be forced to announce he’s not running for a second term by probably August. Even if we get hit on American soil again in a big way by terrorists, he doesn’t have the cred to rally around during an election year.

He’s done by August. He’ll wear out AF1 going on golf junkets, and Slow Joe will be running things here in the last bit of it.

trying to have it both ways, Daley is there telling these people we are here for you while somewhere across town the administration is meeting with some leftest about those evil corporations and how to put them out of business.

Cognitive dissonance.

Daley is a big lib, but he’s not stupid - and he knows what Obama is doing will never work.

There has been a lot of odd statements over the last couple weeks, first Obama talking about how he could live without a second term and now his own Chief of Staff essentially agreeing with the Republicans. Then the story about how the Whitehouse’s internal re-elect numbers look awful. It makes me wonder if the powers that be in the Democrat party (George Soros and Crew) have put Obama on notice that they have determined he is unelectable in 2012 and are actively searching for a replacement candidate.

There's a good chance that Daley will be asked to leave over these remarks.

According to the Insider, Daley was forced on Obama by the party. Obama may not have any choice in the matter.

from what I have read, Daley is in the white house to put some limits on the obama/jarrett team’s madness.

Possible, but the “don’t change horses in the middle of a stream” doesn’t seem to work here. Hillary would still have to defend here time working for Obama or explain why, if she disagreed with his policies, she implemented them anyway. Nobody wants to be anywhere near Dumb0 when this explodes.

I never imagined a time when Daley would be the more sane person in the room.

Has anything Ulterman claimed ever happened???

It would be nice to think that he actually has SOME credibility.

The departure of whazzername - economic advisor. Arrival of Bill Daley to replace Rahmbo. Says Geithner is going soon - we’ll see.

It’s not just what insider says, it’s that it is all so probable given what we know about Dumb0’s ignorance and narcissism.

"Cannot defend the indefensible"

Every GOP candidate running for every national office in 2012 should have this statement at the top of their policy platforms!

Yep, Obama makes Clinton look reasonable, Nixon look honest, Johnson look peaceful and Carter look smart.

Obama’s administration is falling apart.

Perhaps there’s a reason he’s been saying “some days I only want one term”.

Perhaps, a Hillary third-party run is in the works.

Daley’s no moderate. He’s a bagman and friend to every political entrepreneur in America.

He’d be parking cars today if his daddy didn’t run Chicago.

Someone said they thought the insider might be James Carville.

Hmmm.

Yes, I agree - what keeps me interested is it’s easy to imagine this stuff really going on. Really it’s horrifying that when we desperately need a good strong leader we’ve got this overhyped fool instead. The only thing he’s good at is reading a telepromptor. He should quit trying to run the world and become a reader for audio books.
