Think about an alternate possibility--it's 2012, NONE of Obama's policies have worked, unemployment is still hovering in the double-digit range, inflation is kicking in, and our name is crap abroad.
Ah, but along comes Hillary, fresh from resigning the Sec State job the year before, with a "new" vision of improving our image, healing the economy, etc. Remember, Carter damn near lost his party's bid for re-election to Ted the Swimmer, and had it not been for Ted's baggage vis-a-vis Mary Jo, might well have won the Democratic nomination in 1980, so inept was Carter.
Ya think Bubba might be setting up Zero for a fall so Hillary can make a serious run in 2012? Put NOTHING past this man, EVER.
