So How Will She Steal Christmas?

Maybe Obama is willing to show the world that he can work peacefully with drama queens. With Hillary as SOS he’ll be sending a message to other drama queens like Putin, Jong-il, Ahmadinejad that giving peace a chance is better than letting drama stand in the way of good decisions.Or she can always out-drama them once to show them who’s a playa.This will also allow Hillary the opportunity to put a fresh elbow in Bill’s side to say “move over buddy, my turn on the world stage.”

Bob, you’re being profoundly unfair. Hillary Clinton is not the grinch. Apparently, its everyone who wants to be included in the holiday season:http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122714101083742715.html(Moreover – this inclusiveness is destroying our economy!)QT

Bob,The media of whom you speak, uh, wouldn’t that be the same media that said there was just a deep rift between Obama and the Clinton’s that they’d never, ever be able to work together on anything?

Queen,The mad maxiness has already started of the coast of Somalia. Oil tankers taken by pirates! Or maybe I’m mixing up my movies. Water World is more like it.I think those who have open to buy on their credit cards will use them for a Merry Christmas to a certain extent. They haven’t been spending and their is going to be some pent up need to shop.Will it help the economy – nope. I don’t think the shoppers will spend the retailers into the black.The banks know this that’s why they’re not lending even into the “biggest shopping day of the year”.People will eat turkey (or nicely prepared veggies) and then stay home and play boggle.

>>The media of whom you speak, uh, wouldn’t that be the same media that said there was just a deep rift between Obama and the Clinton’s that they’d never, ever be able to work together on anything?Just to be clear: my intention was to ridicule the corporate media. Not the Clintons.And yeah… Fuck TypePad.

Glad our SoS will be firmly in the pocket of multiple shady foreign entities. WTB Obama team. WTB.

This is an huge mistake by Obama–The media will not view any decision without also viewing it through a Clinton lens–what was Bill’;s stance? How does this differ from HRC? How does this differ from what was said in the campaign? How does this differ from the Clinton admin? oh, and Monica Lewinsky et al.Dumb move–unnecessary–and exactly how is she a foreign policy guru?

I don’t mean to pile onto the “What a Pain in the Ass the Clintons Are”, but this whole “going to announce after Thanksgiving” thing reeks of Clintonian Self Aggrandizement. She can’t have her nomination to the post announced along with HHS, DHS or CIA. Instead it has to be an event, a special announcement. Because, you know, it’s all about her. It will probably be at a podium, accompanied by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, with many many American flags and flashy flashes going off. Maybe it’s not drama, but it will be dramatic. I mean, we just went through this in the primary. She had clearly lost but we had to wait for her to decide when it was time to say, ok, he won but you know if we counted the votes differently I woulda won.If it’s not a major event, I’ll be surprised.And Fuck TypePad.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has accepted an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to become U.S. secretary of state, joining her former Democratic rival to help guide U.S. foreign policy, the New York Times said on Friday.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081121/pl_nm/us_usa_obama_clinton

Rage…building…

Bob Woodward: “I think people are fantasizing or smoking something if they think Joe Biden’s going to call Hillary Clinton up and say, ‘This is what we want you to do.’”I couldn’t agree more. This move is an utter, unmitagated disaster.It marginalizes Joe Biden. Biden is now overshadowed by a political “superstar,” and the vice presidency is once again rendered “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.” (-John Adams).It also signals to the Clintons (along with his many other Clintonite appointees) that their slash and burn techniques during the campaign were A-O.K. Hell, why didn’t she stay in until the convention? They OWN his ass.You can scoff at the “Clinton drama” issues as much as you want, but everyone knows that they are spotlight whores. They WILL create controversy. They WILL want massive media exposure… because Hillary wants to run for president during ’16, of course.It reopened the door for them. Hell, I was writing the epitath for the Clinton family weeks before and days after the last presidential election. I didn’t think that there was a chance that Obama would appoint her to anything, let alone at least 31 Clinton staffers. He has sold out completely. This move is the move of an indecisive person — a person who is easily molded by extraneous forces. Didn’t we experience such a man in the form of a monkey-faced dolt during the last eight years?I never believed that Obama was the messiah, but now I even wonder if he can take Clinton’s crown as “the best Republican president ever.”Utter. Clusterfuck.
