Back in December 2008, this blog predicted that Sec. Hillary Clinton would never run for the White House again (Secretary Clinton). The entry suggested that Clinton’s window of opportunity had closed and that Secretary of State would be the highest office she could ever expect to hold. Today, CNN is reporting that Clinton has acknowledged all of this.
Well, she is right on one count, but her pride will not allow her to admit that she is marginalized. Pres. Obama has consistently gone outside the chain of command to keep Clinton out of the loop on issues the Secretary of State usually handles. Speaker Pelosi should be shocked. All this shows that the Obama administration is a well oiled political machine. Their back stabbing tactics, well known to Chicagoans, are elegant and represent a new form of the Washington game.
The untidy fact that most voters do not want socialized health care, cap and trade, and card check is not going to stop Obama. In one form or another, Obama is going to deliver his far left agenda, and his treatment of political enemies shows he has the skills to make it happen.
