Secretary of State Clinton. I found this article,
http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/03/17/031711-news-hillary-2-2/
While there really are no sources cited for this article, it still makes me wonder. It makes some pretty good points. While she is being sent everywhere to help ease tensions, she has no power, no support.
How would you like to be Obama's Secretary of State?

If I was in Clinton's shoes, I'd resign before 2012. My reason -- personal. I wouldn't tell anyone why I'm resigning and let the media, etc. speculate to their hearts content. With a president without a clue, I know I'd be leaving the country/the people in an awful position. But the way it is, no backing from the President, I know I'm not able to do my job anyway, so... Let him find someone he apparently trusts...

He makes light of her 'passion' in a stand up comedy sort of way. And makes her the butt of jokes.
President Obama should take care, in Arkansas the do not take it lightly to be made fun of.

Yeah, I oppose her views on certain issues but I really have started to develop sympathy for her. Her support from President Obama has been completely nonexistent. She is definitely in an impossible job made even more impossible by a complete disregard by the President.
Not that I would vote for her but I would like to see her run for President again.

I don't think we needed any quotes from Clinton insiders to know that Hillary has been out on that world stage, dancing all alone and having to dodge the tomatoes being thrown while the orchestra leader refuses to conduct the music.
I didn't think much of Hillary as a choice for Secretary of State and in the early days she had her share of faux pas moments. But she's learned a lot and she's honestly trying to do her job, but she's got no one to back her up. She's most certainly prohibited from making any statements the White House doesn't want her to make and so Obama's indecision makes her look bad, too.
If she even thought about accepting another term as Secty of State, I would lose all respect for her. I may not have wanted her as president, but she's not stupid. She knows that her job is thankless and her president is clueless.

I agree with you on all points. I did not want her for President, but boy would she be a whole lot better than boy wonder.
I agree she is doing the best she can with what she has been dealt. I have gained much more respect for her in the last two years.

The only thing I would like to be is Obama's jailor. As for Clinton, she is complicit in his treason and other offenses against the US, as she and dear, smarmy Bill are also involved in microfinancing schemes in Indonesia, as are Obama and Geithner by dint of his mother and Geithner's father, working together there.
