Folks, folks, folks.

Never forget that there’s a blood fued between the Clintons and the Kennedys as to who actually owns the Democrat Party. After Dukakis (MA) bombed in 1988, the Kennedys ran Paul Tsongas (MA) in 1992 and Clinton beat him - and by extension - the Kennedys so the Clintons and Kennedys have had this little fued since then for who gets to run the show. In the 1990s, the Clintons had their way and in the 2000s, the Kennedys regrouped. They got Howard Dean (VT) to lead the DNC after McAuliffe (Clinton) ran it into the ground.

Don’t forget, Obama looked like a longshot to get the nomination until Ted Kennedy broke ranks and endorsed him with a lot of the Kennedy wing joining him. They pulled the rug out from under Hillary’s coronation and I guarantee you, behind closed doors, the Clintons have never forgotten it.

I think Hillary, Panetta and others took jobs in the Obama cabinet so they wouldn’t get left on the outside during strategy sessions and, when the time was right, they would use their little tricks to undermine Obama.

Expect some leaked memos to come out from Clintonistas, particularly in the areas of foreign policy and counter-terrorism.

Hillary is not returning to the Senate but, if she sees the opportunity, she’s going to re-emerge in 2012 to stage a primary fight against Obama, claiming he’s too weak and inexperienced for the job while contrasting Bill’s economy to Obama’s.

What Ted’s death has done is upset the power structure of the Kennedy wing of the party. If the Clintonistas see their chance to charge in and take back control of the party, they will. And I hope it happens. If America’s lucky, 2012 can be a repeat of 1980 when Kennedy tried to undermine Carter which helped to give us Reagan.

It is all true but the footage of her husband doing her job in Nkorea and then her spouting off about it put her in her place. She will look like a fool running for POTUS.

I expect that as the wheels start coming off the Obama Clunker Wagon, the Clintonistas will be among the first to jump ship.

Hillary will probably stay the longest, but that's just to make sure everyone gets off and those that don't will be blackballed.

Can you imagine a bleeding heart, dyed in the wool Hopey Changer in charge of the CIA? There will be an open revolt from the rank and file. Maybe we ought to start floating Valerie Plame as the new director- she's a bonafide ObamaBuffoon!
