WATERVLIET, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that it was great her fellow Democrat, Sen. Barack Obama, is thinking about running for president.

Polls show Clinton is the front-runner among potential 2008 Democratic presidential contenders and she said Friday during a debate that she has also been thinking about running.

"I think it's great that anybody thinks about whatever they want to do in the future," she said when asked about Obama during a campaign stop at a senior citizens' center just north of Albany.

"I'm focused on my campaign" for re-election to the U.S. Senate, she said. "I'm focused on reaching as many voters as possible, talking about the issues. And, that's what I'm going to be doing for the next few weeks."

No way a national party will run someone as inexperienced as Obama.

Then again, we are talking about the Democrats ;-)

Was she gritting her teeth and saying this under her breath?


Or just comfortable in the fact that she knows how to use and destroy people.

I think you are overestimating how much America will care.

These misleading headlines are spreading all over the place. In response to a question about Obama, here is her reply:

"I think it's great that anybody thinks about whatever they want to do in the future," she said when asked about Obama during a campaign stop at a senior citizens' center just north of Albany.

If you parse those words carefully, the way her husband taught us to do, they could mean just about anything. She doesn't mention Obama, she doesn't talk about the presidency. She just says, in effect, that anybody can dream about whatever they want. She doesn't say they will get it, or that she approves of it, or anything of the kind.

"I think it's great that anybody thinks about whatever they want to do in the future,"

That has got to be one of the most idiotic things that has ever been said.

She's a liar. She must be planning on one of 2 options - destroying "Osama" Obama (as Ted Kennedy called him) or coopting him.

I think it will be Hillary/ Richardson. Hillary already has the black vote so she doesn't need him. Richardson will bring in the Hispanic vote.

No kidding! She's thinking 'bout running? Who'd a thunk!? I wonder when she decided that?

And who does she think she's kidding?

Did you forget about their last great hope, one-term senator John Edwards, Kerry's VP running mate?

Obama is completely unproven and unqualified to be CIC. Send him back to Illinois to run for governor and see what he's capable of in that job.

If Osama Obama becomes a threat, Hillary will destroy him. Nothing gets in her way. Something will be leaked about him true or not.

Actually, methinks the Hildabeast may have figured out that her best path back to the White House is as veep.

And I'm sure there will be some Democrat dumb enough to get between her and the Oval Office.

Because he's young, black and comes off pretty polished. There isn't tons of that in the field right now for the left.

Both are the fair haired press favorites and if you attack them politically you are by definiton a racist sexist bigot homophobe etc.

I could be wrong but it seems that way to me.
