I hate the idea that Obama wanted to "neuter her" (seriously. eww) by making her secretary of state. Wouldn't he want a strong player in that position? #maghag
@questionable: If I were Obama, I would be seriously offended someone would consider me that misogynistic.
Honestly, from her time as first lady onward Hilary's big strength has always seemed to be her diplomacy and international affairs skills. If you ever read up on her time as first lady, Bill sent her EVERYWHERE. And she did a hell of a good job. Can't we all start assuming Obama selected her to be his Secretary of State because he thought she'd do a bang up job reviving American relations with the world? #maghag
@Bunsen Honeydew: Yes. This is absolutely what I was thinking. As someone who wanted to vote for both Obama AND HRC, I like thinking of them as a super-team, and get the feeling that despite some disagreements (which are only to be expected between two intellectual superpowers with strong personalities) they both have deep respect for each other and are working towards the same goals.
I hate the narrative that they're constantly at odds, trying to one-up or outshine the other. The primaries ended 18 months ago folks... And these two aren't like feuding siblings. #maghag
"Clinton is unwilling to acknowledge these problems, and her staff is loath to admit her occasional mistakes. Her praise for the President is fulsome, and aides say the relationship with Obama really — really — is strong. But there are also burblings and emanations from Clinton's staff and friends, Foggy Bottom body language, that suggest there is a need for the Administration to produce a second act after the Rodney King phase."
Am I missing something? Can anyone explain what Obama's "Rodney King" phase was? #maghag
@J.D.Regent: I don't know what it means, but whenever I happen upon references (like this) that make me feel awkward inside, I just want to run away and cover my ears. #maghag
@J.D.Regent: Ah! I just got it! "Can't we all just get along."
I'm not sure why he put it like that, though I can make some uncharitable guesses, but yeah. I believe he's suggesting Clinton wants Obama to quit all the nice-making and get tough. #maghag
The linked article doesn't mention that Joe Klein wrote Primary Colors. Some full disclosure about his history with the Clintons would be appropriate and put the article in more context. #maghag
I finally figured out who she reminds me of physically - my mom when I was really little. Holy crap. I wonder if that's why my reaction to her is so visceral. Oh wait. It's because she's a fucking hateful moron.
The U.S. Americans are hoveling in their shantytowns, listening to Steppenwolf on the community center radio, thinking of happier times. Outside, fire rains from the heavens as seven angels pour seven bowls over the Earth. The water does nothing to the raging inferno. The Beast walks around the Earth, devouring those who dare to defy it in its gaping hell-mouth. In the Secret Hockey Rink of Dispair, Sarah Palin records another propaganda speech to send to the masses. Each time she winks, Bambi dies a thousand deaths.
I imagine this is the horror story that President Obama will tell his children next Halloween, before they carve Jack-O-Lanterns and hand out candy corn to happy children trick or treating at the White House.

She looks a LOT like my mom when I was younger. It really creeps me out, because I love my mom. But not Sarah Palin. Goodness gracious no.
