    my mind was blown because I thought this was insinuating that Naomi Kline gave a Clinton her approval... I was wrong #maghag

    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: 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

    Predictability is boring. Hillary has been captivating us for literally decades because of both her brilliance and unpredictability. #maghag

    "Which makes it hard to analyze her but really interesting to watch her."

    Incidentally, making her an incredibly adept diplomat. Ta-da! #maghag

    Watching Jindal's response, I found myself wishing his dad hadn't been so timely with his "payments." Then maybe he would have been repossessed...uh oh, did I just say possessed? Somebody call a priest, quick!

    Do net get the GOP obsession over Jindal. At all. Forgetting his extreme politics, the guy PERFORMED AN EXORCISM (read: held captive and assaulted) a friend of his. How is he in the running for anything other than the mayor of Crazy Town?

    Ziggy! I vote for Ziggy!


    When we got my dog, when I was 9, (who is, by the way, a little black furry loveably Cockapoo, who, after seeing pictures, looks a lot a Portuguese water dog, actually), I lobbied and lobbied and lobbied for him to be named Ziggy, after Ziggy Stardust, natch. I was overruled -- my puppy of love is named Mickey instead.


    Come on Sasha, Malia. You know you wanna name him/her Ziggy...

    My new puppy is still settling in and is easily startled by the TV. More often than not he barks at it, but last night when Obama start to speak he just flopped himself down and stared in rapture at the screen for the entire speech. Barak Obama is a dog whisperer.


    Personally, I've always wanted a politician to name his pet Waffles.
