After Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton holed up in Sen. Dianne Feinstein's living room last week for a private tete-a-tete, speculation mushroomed as to what Obama might be offering his former rival.

Is it possible that Obama might adopt Dwight Eisenhower's 1952 strategy for dealing with a contentious political rival? California Gov. Earl Warren had run for president three times and saw himself in line for the Republican presidential nomination in '52, but the war hero of Europe came home and derailed his plans.
Myths abound concerning the Eisenhower-Warren relationship, including the erroneous story that Ike used an appointment to the court to repay Warren for support at the Republican convention, where he didn't have a majority of delegates secured.

Supreme Court Justice Clinton — doesn’t sound too appealing.
Hillary Clintoon on the Supreme Court?....Goodbye America!
Might as well change the name from Supreme Court to ACLU Follies.....
Earl Warren was the single man most responsible for perverting the Supreme Court and destroying the constitutional balance of powers in this country.
He was a abomination.
As far as the Dems are concerned, she would make a great activist judge....
I’m all for seeing Hillary Clinton brought to justice.
Sounds sweet.
Please, I’m going to be sick!
Only one position is good for the beast.
I thought that she did not pass her bar exam. Is she a lawyer?
OPINION:
A real possibility...either a democrat will appoint her or the Democrat’s best friend — the rino will appoint her.
No but we can have a lot of fun with it. We can tease the woman but we will be racists if we say one word about the other one.
We must continue to pray the God will stop this woman once and for all.
Didn’t she flunk the DC Bar exam?
