Will Obama hurt Hillary Clinton in 2012 or 2016 ?

Telegraph: Has an interesting article that argues that a damaged Obama Presidency will hurt the political future of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the article states the following, “ The last 21 months have been a period of marked US decline, both at home and abroad,….”. The weakness of the Obama Presidency from its cowering appeasing of Iran to its hostile policy towards Poland, Czech Republic due to its restart policy with the Russian Bear has not gotten the Oval much in return, while Israel has been hung out dry by an Obama Presidency who thinks its press statements are the 10 Commandments. In many respects on reading the Jimmy Carter Diary one can see the arrogance of Jimmy Carter in the nature of President Obama. Thus the question Bill Clinton will be asking is when should Secretary Clinton knife Obama in the back, resign over Israel or Iran and run against him in 2012, do a Reagan of 1976. The one problem for the first " Black " President Bill Clinton is the fact that the African - American vote in the Democratic Party is very powerful, can Secretary Clinton afford to dump Obama without some political costs, or does Secretary Obama go down to defeat with Obama in 2012 and refuse his offer of the VP spot and then run in 2016, one of the best political operators is Bill Clinton, he will watch the returns tonight with great interest and looking at the political clock.

The Day After Part 2

The New York Times Blog: Reports that the day after the Mid Term Elections President Obama will hold a press conference to state that he understand the point of the election returns, the President will call for end of the political division and for the Parties to work together. In other words the Oval still does not get it, if Obama was serious about learning from the election defeat he would say that HE was sorry for going beyond his mandate and not stressing jobs, jobs and jobs, the problem with the Oval is the view that the US voter is thick and this vote in the Mid Terms is frightened vote, that if the voter had a brain cell they would see that the Obama’s economic package has saved jobs even with the unemployment at 9.6%. Also that health care reform is just as it covers those that didn’t have cover at the expense of those that do have cover, such as those that are old and those on a low level wage. If this is the Obama response to the Mid Term Election defeat he will join the club of one term Presidents, he will be another Jimmy Carter.
