Obama is only mentioning her to make it sound like she was a "steady advisor" to him. That's BS of course. She was on vacation most of the time.
But I think you're right. She is being set up to be "The One: Part Deux".
She will not only get all Obama's supporters to vote for her but 99% of the women votes. It is a scary thought for me but as I see it she is a 'lock' if she runs.
