Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama at the White House playground.

Striding out from the West Wing, the two seemed thick as thieves—smiling, Secretary Clinton casually swung her leg over the bench on the east side of the playground, and the president grinned and waved to gawking reporters and staff as he sat down across from her. After all, it was just a year ago that Clinton could be seen crying, “Shame on you, Barack Obama.”

    “The tranquil sense of respectful camaraderie was soon broken, however, by the childish WHOOOP! of an overjoyed Bill Clinton as he sailed down the Curvy Slide and landed with a thud at Malia Obama’s feet.’DAAAAD-DDY!’ Malia could be hear crying. ‘Can’t you get President Clinton out of here? He’s already broken my monkey bars!’Secretary Clinton’s mouth could be seen faintly twitching at the words ‘President Clinton,’ and this reporter later discovered deep claw marks in the picnic table’s finish…”

    funny stuff.I have to say I’m very pleased with how Hillary has turned out. If it came down to her vs Biden in 2016, I think she’d have my vote. Hell it might even be cool if Biden retires after 4 years and Hillary runs as VP in 2012. But that’s highly doubtful.

    Cool.

    Look at ‘em…bastards. They are sitting there plotting to steal our guns. That swing set was clearly purchased by the Saudi King! Damn you Obama, Clinton, libs!/sarcasm

    I can’t believe he’s not wearing a suit jacket! How dare he show so much disrespect to the Playground! BAH!!

    Playground pals. How adorable.I wonder if Hillary traded her peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich for Barack’s salami submarine.Anyway, it’s good to see these two getting along. It’s a good example of what liberals should be doing with their ideological opponents — trying to work together and play nice — rather than endlessly trying to figure out how to give another black eye to conservatives. The bullying just never stops with leftists, lamentably so.-A

    “After all, it was just a year ago that Clinton could be seen crying, ‘Shame on you, Barack Obama.’”I’ve quoted Carlin ten million times on this one; I’ll quote him again…IT’S ALL BULLSHIT… AND IT’S BAD FOR YA.

    >>The bullying just never stops with leftists, lamentably so.Really? I mean… really? As compared to the constant screaming and primate crap flinging on the right? I’ve heard more coherent sounds come out of a shaken bowl of howler monkeys. Also, I don’t have another monkey reference for this one, but we’re not the ones saying America should be ‘armed and dangerous’ because of tax policy, and, y’know, every other reason that shout-down artists on the right come up with to grab a gun and threaten a dirty socialist.By the way, we’re not the ones who gave conservatives that black eye. They did it to themselves, walking repeatedly into a lamppost. We’re just there to watch, and mock, and laugh…

    I like it. Yeah, they once was enemies. But now, they picnic table on the cropped park grass of reality.No one had more loathing for Hillary than I…but she is competently working her way (albeit slowly…as if she had a choice) into the good graces of effective policy stepping.A huge improvement, by any measure, over a token academic with a totally requited man-crush on the boss.

    I see pictures like this and I can’t help thinking about Stranahan’s Barack Obama for President videos that single-handedly turned the tide of the election.There’s a swing set in the White House yard where foreign policy decisions are being made while children play.There’s just something about that that makes me smile.
