Sometimes we get so wound up in these issues that it's easy - I hate to say 'easy' but you know what I mean - to forget that they are life and death issues!

As for the Grande Lum guy, I could give him the names of a few blog sites where his services are very much in need. Over the course of the election campaign I tip-toed in an out of a few of them...very, very scary!

THIS is how TRUE liberals are supposed to be..

Michale.....

I tend to forget that this isn't a Sitcom, that it has disastrous real world implications..

But the hypocrisy just never ceases to amaze me. Present company excepted, of course... :D

Michale.....

Seriously, I'm still hoping our pal Chris is right about this whole thing being no more than a red herring.

If it was just a matter of watching one or the other party self-destruct, that would be one thing. But, there are soldiers dying in Afghanistan and Iraq due in no small part to an incompetent US administration. I know it won't be fun for you, either, to watch the continuation of that sad state of affairs just because the Democrats fail to get their act together.

There's only one thing funner than watching the GOP implode in 2008...

That's going to be watching the Democrats implode in 2012.... :D

Michale.....

And the coup de grac'e will be a Dem Primary that makes 2008's look like a tea Party by comparison!

It's going to be a fun time, to be sure...

Michale.....

As SecState, Clinton will have a very unique oppurtunity to frack up Obama's administration and in doing so, really frack up the country.

But, of course, we can count on Hillary's love of country and her ability to put the needs of others before her own wants and desires..

............

Oh god, we're so fracked...

Michale....

I think our impression of Hillary Clinton is close to the truth of the matter.

Which is not to say that she won't be a great SoS, just not likely.

I just heard David Gergen say, with a straight face and very matter-of-factly with no response from the rest of the panel, that if Hillary is SoS, then she will have a harder time running against Obama in 2012. Say what!? I mean, he was actually suggesting that it was a given that she would be challenging the President in 2012 and that if she was SoS that challenge would be more difficult.

Is there something that I'm not getting here?

But, in this case, it's not an issue of knowledge... It's a knowledge of character..

Clinton does NOT play well with others in a subservient roll.. She must be equal or in charge..

I seriously cannot see her being subservient to Obama's will. I see it MORE likely that she will sabotage Obama's presidency at every opportunity thus insuring a real shot at the 2012 nomination.

Obama is too much the virgin politician to keep someone like Clinton in check..

I hope I am wrong..

Michale.....

I'm inclined to agree with you...wholeheartedly. This is going to be a very big - make that HUGE - disappointment for me...unless I have completely misjudged what she is all about AND her relationship with PE Obama.

But, if Obama and Biden think that she should be the next SoS, then who the heck am I to second guess that decision. I have complete faith in Joe Biden and a fair level of faith in Barack Obama...I guess we'll just have to give the both of them the benefit of the doubt on this appointment...and hope for the best.

Clinton Is Said to Opt for Secretary of State Position

Although it still could be a "mixup" in communications again. Seems a lot of that goes on between the Obama and Clinton camps.

If true, I am deeply disappointed in PE Obama. This can only mean bad things for the country..
