Hillary Clinton due to step down as Secretary of State
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 17:50 EST, 8 November 2012 | Toby Harnden

Posted on 11/08/2012 3:25:23 PM PST by Olog-hai

Hillary Clinton will step down as U.S. Secretary of State within 'days' of President Barack Obama's second inauguration in January, her spokesman said today.

Her long-respected(?) departure is expected by most Democrats to be a prelude for a White House run in 2016, when she will be 69.

The top candidate to replace her is believed to be Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the losing 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. …

She’s done her work now. Let someone else hold the Muslim Brotherhood bomb when it blows.

If the GOP is blind enough to run Jeb Bush (a moderate), after 3 million GOP stayed home and would not vote for Romney (a moderate) .. they will NOT WIN THAT ONE EITHER.

Rush has told them over and over, “... you cannot win an election without the evangelicals”.

Deal with Powell .. wow! I hadn’t considered that!

Hmmmm ..?? that’s very interesting. Support Obama now and we’ll help you win in 2016 .. so the dems can sideswipe Hillary AGAIN ..??

It’s funny, but I was noticing that Powell keeps saying emphatically, “I’m still a Republican”. Is this another “protesting too much” moment ..??

“Meehan won’t give up that gig at Lowell. Too much money for doing nothing”

I don’t think so. If it was you or me, we’d be leaving there feet first. But there’s more in the works and there’s a bit of an ego thing here also. The last senator out of Lowell was Paul Tsongas. He achieved near sainthood in Lowell. A chance to replace St.Paul on the pedestal is just too tempting.

Also, this will be part of a twofer deal. Devaluate is going to replace Holder and Kerry is replacing the Hildebeast. Fauxcahantas has zero clout in Washington and Meehan does. He’s going to be sent to keep an eye on her.

Watch. It’s going to get interesting.

“She’s gotta brush up on Constitutional Law so as to be ready for her Supreme Court nomination. Can’t let Eric Holder get the call before her.”

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! We have a winner! I couldn’t agree more. She’s been beat up too much to wait until 2016 and take another beating as she runs for president. She made a deal with the Bamster that she would take the fall for Benghazi after she is no longer vulnerable to being forced to resign, and he will appoint her to the Supreme Court, where she still makes her mark on history, and doesn’t have to put up with all the crap as she gets older. Plus, its a lifetime appointment. For Bill, there will be a huge pile of money left somewhere so he will keep his mouth shut. Maybe Chelsea gets some cushy government appointed position that could be good for 20 years.

I totally agree .. having Biden as Pres is a very scary thought. I suspect either Dementia or Alzheimer’s. With the aneurysm issues .. I’m more suspicious of it being Alzheimer’s.

The media had a cow when it was found out that Reagan was having such difficulties in the last year or so of his presidency. They caught the Mrs. feeding him lines during reporter interviews. I have not seen Biden’s Mrs. doing that, but his outbursts are also a clue to me.

I used to work at a residence for seniors with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

No and no.

Hillary needs to be forced to resign now, and Kerry needs to be humiliated, He is a Commie plant from over forty years ago who singlehandedly won the Vietnam War by getting three Purple Hearts, One Bronze Star and One Silver Star and never spent a day in the hospital.Even Audie Murphy never pulled that off.

When are Pubs going to play hardball, like the Dems did to Bush on all his appointments? Kerry is lower than gutter trash.

Unless he releases his full SF-180, I say, block him.

In 1971 he accused our men of war crimes, a false charge, which he has never recanted. He directly spoke with representatives of the North Vietnamese government while a still an officer of the US Navy. He lobbied on their behalf in the peace talks.

And he threw his medals over the White House fence in that famous gesture. Well, we came to find in 2004, not his medals, which are on the wall of his Senate office, but someone else’s medals.

Like Obama, he is all commie and all a lie. Someday I’ll tell you what I really think about him. F’im.

HA!! Timmy won’t have to drive anymore; he’ll have his own statie. AND as an added bonus, Mrs. Murray can get to spend $80,000 and change the curtains in the big office! That ought to get him out of the doghouse.

The article I quoted in the OP figures Rice to be no dice, saying that there’s an even bigger Benghazi onus laid on her than the current SoS.
He (Kerry) is viewed as a more likely pick that Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, because of her widely-criticized appearance on Sunday talk shows in which she insisted that spontaneous demonstrators in Benghazi had killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. …

I’ll give Obama props on one thing: He got Biden, Clinton and now maybe Kerry out of the Senate.

Thanks, Barry!

I think the rats will run Biden in 2016. I hadn’t pondered the Hillary angle - Hmmmmmmmmm. If they run the Shrillary, we have to run Palin!

this is what we need to do. run palin, and if the marxists at abc, nbc, cbs lie about her in any way, then thousands should go to ny and occupy their studios.
and the reason i’m serious is because there is no other way to handle those lying america haters.

SS Clinton takes the hit for Obama deciding not to help save the lives of the Benghazi Mission. US Navy Seals point to Obama , the POS-CIC, as refusing to act.

Oh how convenient it is to throw one more under the bus, once this POS prez has a new “mandate.” And if she dares to run for the presidency against Obama’s future annointed one? The Bengazhi file will be released which shows what? Guess.( That Benghazi was ALL Hillery Clinton’s fault. This is the conduct of a Stalin, not the president of the United States.)
