A Hillary-Obama rift in the making ?

Very unusual for SecState not to accompany the President on such a trip.

[ChocChipCookie]

Appointing Hillary as his Secretary of State was a weak and cowardly payback on Obama’s part, and everyone knew it.

I dunno....his cabinet is filled with Clinton cronies, just sayin

Would be interesting to know where their true loyalties lie.

[Paperdoll]

a strong sicth sense of timing, that is!

[Churchillspirit]

If the Clintonistas should happen to find The Kenyan's COLB.......WOW!!

Power without responsibility.

[speekinout]

I think that each of them is trying to use the other. Hillary wants to gain gravitas, stay in the public eye, and come back for another run.

And 0bama won the round. He has kept hillary out of all of the important issues, so she can't claim gravitas, and she's effectively out of the public eye. He couldn't have kept her out of politics any more even if he put her in jail.

hillary doesn't have any leverage, even when 0bama fails. She's not identified with any issue, except maybe health care, and she doesn't have an advantage there.

i’ve always thought it was the other way, he’d pick her up as SoS, drop her after a coule months, and let her fall into obscurity to remove her as a future challenger.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Would be interesting to know where their true loyalties lie.

And what deals were made to get them in there.

I've never known of a person to negotiate before accepting a cabinet position, especially for SOS.

But she is a Clinton after all.

[JusPasenThru]

I never thought I’d see the day when I wished Hillary was president.

[oldbill]

The seeds are now being sown for Hillary’s 2012 challenge to Obama.

With her advancing age, 2012 is Hillary’s last chance. If she sees any chance at all, she will go for it.

[Carley]

Definitely. Heard Dick Morris explain that as O’s numbers fall we’ll see Hitlery separating herself from his administration.

The leak about her insisting he be tougher on Iran had me wondering why she was helping him. Now that Morris explains it, I get it.

Further, there is that story in the National Inquirer about Michelle drinking too much. This smells like the clintons.

[Carry_Okie]

Any truth to the rumor that Rudy G. will run for gov?

If Rudy wins the primary bet on the RINO swan dive in the general election.

[certrtwngnut]

They’re true loyalties are to themselves and to the party, the SOCIALIST party, beyond that there is no loyalty.

[mojitojoe]

He doesn’t want Hilary to watch him kiss as* and see how he interacts with a fellow comrade.

[mellow velo]

No. He will sic Michelle on Hillary.

CATFIGHT!!!

[clamper1797]

Hey Hillary ...why don’t you take FUBO put to the park ... For a walk

[Windflier]

Any theories as to why the Obamas hate Hillary?

No mystery there. Obama and his she-dog were running for coronation as King and Queen of the liberal/socialist/Democrat machine, and Bubba & Hillary were the reigning monarchs at the time.

Not only that, they had the temerity to attempt to hold on to their crowns by having Hillary oppose Obama for president.

Of course, the Obamas hate the Clinton's guts. They're typical liberals.

[truthandlife]

The "smartest woman in the world" just got snookered into this job to keep her on the sidelines or to keep Obama's enemies close to him. She has finally realized it and now she is doing it "her way."

Get the popcorn it should get interesting.

[Zathras]

I suspect the insiders in the DNC have suggested she jump ship now before Bambi craters.

[DallasDeb]

She’s gonna end up “resigning” (getting fired) and then she’ll have NOTHING—just what he planned from the start.

[Windflier]

Each of them will betray or dump the other without notice, if it serves their purposes. Obama has the upper hand now, but if he weakens and continues to lose popularity, he’d better watch out.

I'm sure he's watching his back already. I have no doubt that Hillary is scheming every minute of every day, how to undermine or betray Obozo.

These two deserve each other.
