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.

Obama wants to keep his friends close and his enemies closer, and subject her to subtle humiliations like this one.

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.

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'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.

BINGO!
