Barack Obama is doomed – enter Mrs Clinton
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | November 5, 2010 | Simon Heffer

Posted on 11/06/2010 7:21:44 AM PDT by libstripper

Four days after the elections, the rage continues. If giving the Democrats a hiding was supposed to soothe the electorate, something has gone wrong. It – or rather the Democrat reaction to it – appears simply to have made things worse.

To the rest of the world, it might have seemed that President Obama’s press conference after the defeat was an admission of personal failure. But it wasn’t: what went wrong was the economy’s fault, he argued – and, by extension, it was the fault of the electorate for not seeing that.

A Clinton machine is still in place, nursed by her husband, who seems to remain the most popular man in America, despite everything.

That line makes me wonder about everything else contained in the column.

Heifer seems to be a Clinton supporter, from my reading of the column. Many in the lib establishment have comented on Clinton being very popular, meaning what Heifer says doesn’t make it irrational, given where he’s coming from. Thus, I think the article accurtely reflects the thinking of a lot of Clintonoids and presages a huge, bitter struggle the DemonRats are going to have over their 2012 nominee.

... that and the fact that they seem to think that Mrs. Clinton can remain as SecState for up to another year. Presidential campaigns take 2 years to germinate. Mrs. Clinton will be resigning after the Holidays... bank on it.

The writer did say he was in touch with Clintonistas.

The line that bothered me is the one before it: She has time on her side.

And she tain't getting any younger. Or smarter.

She's done squat as SoS, except help give money to people that want to destroy America (BHO policy...)

If the pubbies put up another McCainiac that won't call her out, then she might have a chance.

If they put up somebody that will point out all her lies, corruption and failures, then they just might have a chance.

That would be great. Pelosi, Reid, and zero still in leading headlines. Zero’s refusal to repeal obamacare, and then a bruising nomination process that either makes the clintonista part of the party hacked, or the blacks.

Serious LOL from the comments section of this article:

Q: What is the difference between Obama and a government bond?

A: The bond will eventually mature.

Clinton has done such a great job of pacifying Iran.

Clinton will not run against Obama and will not run in 2016. She's only keeping things together in case Obama does not run in 2012.

bo’s poll numbers have dropped every single day since he has been in office.
there is nothing he has done, or can do that will change this. He is graceless, with a tin ear surrounded by sycophants. Given the new political reality, things are going to get much worse for him.
It is going to be fun to watch.

Was watching NatGeo channel last night and saw their commercial for their upcoming ‘documentary’ on Hildebeast and the State Departments.

Told my 14 year-old daughter that the effort to elect Clintoon as president had begun.

Yep!, she says.

Apparently my paranoia is rubbing off...

Obammy and the HillaBeast - black & white together.

That’s together as in we’re all Saul Alinsky acolytes.

Commie is as commie does.

May the last 'Rats go down chewing on each other.

I have spoken to Phil Berg via telephone numerous times. His ineptitude and lack of any real motivation spoke volumes. Each time I called, I left the conversation more deflated.

Obama — Hillary — two peas from the same pod.

Don’t ever forget that Hillary was an Alinskyite when Obama was only 8 years old.

Obama was to the Democrats what Watergate was to the Republicans.

I posted a link to the Nat. Geo. website containing a trailer for that show about a week ago with the same comment. Never before have they done such an infomercial for any SOS, even a president. They wouldn’t have done it without full approval from on high. She’s going to try to take him out, probably with well timed, unattributable leaks of his most damaging personal records, and then run to pick up the pieces. Give your daughter my praise for her political smarts.
