#1 Not thrilled about Clinton's third term, but definitely better than FDR's fifth term, or Carter's second.

#2 Another attack on American soil will remind everyone how successful the Clintons, Obama, and the Democrat party have been on preventing terrorism.

#3 She also got assurances that she will have direct access to the President and will not have to go through ~~his foreign policy advisers~~ Rahm Emanuel.

Plot thickening. As if eight years of the Clintons wasn't quite enough.

#4 That is just the down payment, Obama.

#5 Another attack on American soil will remind everyone that Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld were what this country needed and still needs.

#6 Hey Greg Craig, how does it look under that bus?

#7 A craven bunch of power hungry skunks. All of them.

#8 Darrell, he'd have to fight through a lot of older carcasses to even see the suspension.

#9 #7 A craven bunch of power hungry skunks. All of them.

Ag, at least the skunk serves a useful purpose in nature, and if left to itself will not generally bother anyone.

#10 Do they have interns at the DOS? We have to keep Bill entertained.

#12 Another attack on American soil will remind everyone that Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld were what this country needed and still needs.

Another attack on AMerican soil and right wingers will feel compelled to give to the country and the government a support the left wingers never gave.

#13 The growing number of Clintonistas and the beast herself as State are beginning to make me wonder if Obama is being controlled(blackmailed) over his dubious citizenship or ssome other issue.

#14 I've never thought he was in control of any process. The puppet master is at work.

#15 With no actual abilities he ran and won the President's seat. He has no clue how to run a country or even how our government works. He is probably now scared to death that he will actually have to make a decision. The only democrats that have any salt are the clintons, even though I don't like them, they are better than anything else the dems have to offer. He is scrambling for anyone that can actually spell State dept. The last thing he wants is to fail miserably.

#16 reminds me of "The Candidate" where Redford gets in the car after winning the campaign and says "what do we do now?"

#17 The last thing he wants is to fail miserably.

He may not want it, but it's coming to him. I plan to do my small part in bringing that home to him with a great deal of vigor.

#18 I doubt the bugger thought that he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning nomination, let alone the election. Beyond the campaign rhetoric he's clueless, no solid plan, no team. Probably more shocked at his win than any of us. The Clintonista redux may be due to his asking Rahm, WTF do I do now, and Rahm ringing up everyone on his rolodex from the bad old days. I smell industrial strength panic.

#19 He is probably now scared to death that he will actually have to make a decision.

He should be. The experience issue was ignored or derided during the campaign, but even the mayor of Podunk, USA has to make decisions. Do we fix the office copier or plow the roads this winter? As a community organizer, you can sit around making jaw-jaw about mission statements and position papers and who to extort next for grant money. Quite different from the proverbial 3am phone call.
