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."

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.

Hillary doesn't need to be a governor, we already know the mess she's capable of making (see Hilarycare).

Wow! You actually think with the state of the world today, she and Bubba would accept 2nd place on the ticket?

A chance to re-write his legacy?

Uh-Uh!

No. It's just her double talk. She said nothing negative about Obama, and many will think what she said is positive.

It was her way of saying "I don't care what he does, I only care what I will be doing."

The DNC has been urinating on any and every liberal black who shows promise for 50 years.

The same will hold true for the not very bright Osama Obama Namma Jamma : )

Yeah, if her unfavorables won't get her in the front door, she'll take the back door. And then kick it in.

There's only one way that jumps into mind in order to accomplish that.

Bump to what you wrote. I have been writing the same thing since this story first came out.

Far be for me to take up for The Hildabeaste, but she DID NOT say ANYTHING about Obama.

Hey, it worked for John Edwards,...eh, well,...maybe it didn't exactly. You're covered by your second statement; "We are talking 'bout the Dems."

It was a fact that she had people instruct the WH staff never to make eye contact with her if they should pass her in a hallway.

That's creepy when you consider this alternative...

The Clinton juggernaut will roll over any Democrat competitors in 2008...it doesn't hurt her to pretend to welcome Osama Obama to the race. If Obama does run, she'll get a look at his campaigning skills before she has to decide on her running mate.

It will be so much fun to watch Hillary and the other dems tiptoe around their token black if he runs.

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

Translation:

Obama, meet Mister Fbifilesleakedfromnewyorktimesreporter

Also, I don't believe that Hillary Rodham's psychoses will allow her to consider veep; and

She would never consider Obama for a veep. Two reasons:

First, Obama's charisma and speaking poise would continually upstage her; and,

Second, she will surely pick a veep with extensive military bone fides (Wesley Clark, John McCain, or some other Democrat military figure.)
