BS. She isn’t distancing herself, at least in the background. They are on the same side and have always been.

“Hillary’s Dilemma: How To Distance Herself From Obama”

I saw that headline, and thought immediately how wrong it seems before reading the article. Seems to me “Hillary’s Dilemma: How to Distance Herself from Herself” should be the headline.

How does she do it?

“Third Way”

She gets some other left wing freak show to run on Obamas coattails and continuing the Obama legacy, paint the repub as a “right wing extremist”, she then runs on “The Third Way” and distance’s herself from both political parties as extremist.

Watch for the news media to start a campaign that the American people are tired of “extremist” on both sides.

The media is a trustworthy ally and will repackage her if necessary. I don’t think Biden will challenge, so it all depends on some younger face coming up and seizing the imagination.

In either case, it is the media’s job to package their candidate 24/7 as the savior of the nation. She’ll be Wonder Woman in a pantsuit before they’re done with her.

We’ll need some photo shop of stains in appropriate places on that pantsuit to distribute liberally in order to counter that media package.

Hillary Clinton is in a pickle. She's a shoe-in for her party's presidential nomination because of Barack Obama's failures. But those failures might keep her from getting the job. Her husband's "law of politics" is that elections are always about the future, but she's stuck in the past.

But..but...,"What difference does it make?"

All she has to do is talk to Al Gore... he tried to ‘distance’ himself from Billy Boy - so maybe he has some suggestions for Evita!! :)

Hillary was Obama’s Secretary of State and was in large part responsible for inadequate security at the Benghazi compound. They were defenseless. She bears the guilt for what happened. (Obama bears the guilt of abandoning our defenders at Benghazi)

What’s happening in 50 years from now will still be Bush’s fault by the liberal’s deranged logic

That was just a “temporary truce”, or whatever the Muslims call it.

There was always going to be a day of reckoning between the Chicago and Arkansas mobs.

“I saw that headline, and thought immediately how wrong it seems before reading the article. Seems to me “Hillary’s Dilemma: How to Distance Herself from Herself” should be the headline.”

Bingo! The Media will increasingly turn-on Obama so that Hillary will appear as a good “alternative” to the current occupant of the White House. They’ll do all the heavy lifting for her. We’ll all enjoy watching Obama twist, BTW.

But the harder part is going to be Hillary dealing with her own lack of real achievement, and her train wreck of a past. She just doesn’t “inspire”. I look for her to come up short — again.

Obama was the number 1 leftist senator. Hillary was number 2. That’s all the nation needs to know.

If 2017 turns out to be a Clinton restoration, Hillary will be America's Louis XVIII.

What an inspiring role model.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady's column in The Wall Street Journal last Monday was about Haiti and the abysmal job the agency Bill Clinton is in charge of has been handling the reconstruction there. In that role, Bill answered to Hillary, so they both bear some of the blame for the mess...but don't expect to hear anything about it in the rest of the media.

There are lots of stupid people who do vote, and the next “wave” of amnesty for illegal immigrants hasn’t, officially, happened, yet. Unfortunately, there are, still, ways for the political left to win big, in ‘16 and beyond.
