Hillary Clinton To Be Offered Dignified Exit [Made Head of Healthcare]
Telegraph UK ^ | 05/31/08 | im Shipman

Posted on 05/31/2008 4:26:58 PM PDT by BunnySlippers

The former First Lady would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama's reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic presidential candidate.

...

Dee Dee Myers, the former press secretary to President Clinton, said: "It seems clear to me from watching her, and talking to people, that she doesn't really know what she wants." But after 17 months of campaigning, and $150 million (£76 million) spent, the question that haunts the Clinton camp is: how did someone who a year ago had unrivalled name recognition, a legendary campaign organisation and more money than her opponent contrive to throw it all away?

This would indeedmark the beginning of the end for liberty — not just in the USA but across the globe.

Operation Choas will be a complete success if Obama loses in the fall and if Clinton destroys any future chance by being blamed for the lose.

Once health care is universal, my health habits become everyone’s business.

Nanny state to the nth degree.

Quick, someone remind me. Didn't she have this same position in her husband's first term? How did that work out?

Come on — she ain’t that stupid. This would be like putting her in charge of the Blue Dress Dry Cleaning Department.

Doesn't even sound like a possibility...Only a brutal reminder of another "BIG L" on her forehead.

I'm hoping she feigns illness and leaves the Senate....never to be heard from again.

Who cares how gracefully ‘her majesty’ exits or how awkwardly she maintains her impossible position. The fact is we have The Three Stooges on display here. Each poised to strike at the heart of traditional America. No matter who wins in November, we all lose. Right now it’s just a matter of degree…

So Obama will offer her the exact same position she botched so horribly during her husband’s first term. What on Earth is he thinking? And why on Earth would she accept? Has it possibly escaped Obama that she’s a bit of an egomaniac?

If she was put in charge of National Health Care, just think what she could do with personal medical information. Remember how she acquired 900 + FBI files “by accident”?

Don't worry, the "real" conservative we elect in 2016 will restore things to the status quo ante.

“..how did someone who a year ago had unrivalled name recognition, a legendary campaign organisation and more money than her opponent contrive to throw it all away?”

Is it perhaps because she is the smartest woman in the world?

I’m not sure that Hilry could participate in someone else’s administration.

She is going to be so bitter and rejected that she will have to blame someone. She will blame our male dominated society for “putting her down”.

Already rejected by her peers in the Senate, look for Hilry to become even more of a bitter man-hating biotch when she loses.

Schadenfreude.

Had to laugh when I read this

Hillary Clinton has privately complained about MoveOn before, at a small fundraiser held after the Super Tuesday primaries. “They flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me,” she said, according to an audio recording obtained by Huffington Post. In the recording, she also refers to the MoveOn’s fundraising prowess, telling donors that “MoveOn.org endorsed [Obama], which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down.”

How does it feel, witch?

If Obama became our president (very doubtful outcome), one of the worst mistakes that he could make would be to put Hillary or one of her associates in DHHS.

Only in America, she tries to socialize healthcare while holding no elected office, her back room plan proposed a communist type system which was summarily dismissed by both the left and right alike and largely led to the Republicans winning the house and senate for the first time in a LONG time.

This is what makes you an expert on healthcare??? Being a total failure??

Mr Obama was openly considering asking Mrs Clinton to join his cabinet, alongside two other former presidential rivals: John Edwards, who is seen as a likely attorney general; and Joe Biden, who is a leading contender to become Secretary of State.

It just gets worse....

Would McCain ever consider Hillary for running mate. It would assure him the presidency? That is all he really is concerned with. She could claim the high ground saying the democrat party left her, by refusing to listen to thae people. The mushy middle would give it to them.

Ideally, Hillary will find a way to steal the nomination and drive the rats' most loyal base constituency (blacks) away from the party in droves, for a decade or longer. Wow! Go, Hillary, GO!
