#1 Can't wait for Bill to offer to present his credentials: "They're right here ... in my diplomatic pouch."

#2 Aah, lust for power (any power) beats sanity hands down in Hillary's case. She's a sheep and in a few years she'll transmogrify into a marvelous scapegoat. Most of clintonistas under Obamarx will, too.

#3 State is full of two faced leakers, personal bureaucratic empire builders, narcissistic pseudo-intellectuals from ivy league schools, and sanctimonious assholes.

Have fun Hill.

#4 And in 4 years she'll have her foreign policy creds. She'll be running for president forever.

#5 BrerRabbit, nope. There is lotsa failures to be made by Obamarx and his requirement for scapegoats will be not marginal. HRC is as good as cooked, she just does not know it yet and she is on a borrowed time.

#6 Remember back in the primaries? Hillary was unacceptable--unacceptable!!!!--to the moonbat Left because of her support of the Iraq war. So instead, the moonbats back Obama, who, once he's in power, names unacceptable warmonger Hillary as his Secretary of State.

The Kos kiddies must be beside themselves with cognitive dissonance.

#7 cognitive dissonance involves thinking and reflection, neither of which are strong traits among KosKiddies

#9 Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Byrd better not travel together or visit Ft. Marcy Park

#10 What happened to the Emmoluments Clause? We're blowing that off like the citizenship requirement for President?

#11 Emoluments clause has been honored in the breech by Nixon and Carter at least. Clinton for Les Aspin? The list goes on forever I suspect.

#13 yes, it would be a violation of said clause.

#14 But...its a 'living Constitution' [ie we make it up as we go along to fit our needs. And we all know the needs of a few exceed the guarantees of the many].

#15 Sadly, it seems so.

#16 While Bill has agreed to list the donors, he hasn't to my knowledge, agreed to say how much each gave.

Expect more drama to come.

Also, there will certainly be a foreign screw up in the first year or so and with luck and a complicit press, Obama could blame Hil and pretty much end her political career then and there.

#17 Call me crazy it seems to me that putting the Hildebeeste 4th in line for the Presidency isn't something that a person hoping to live to what might be considered a "ripe old age" would want to do.

#19 Soon to be shuffled off to the Supreme Court, from whose bourne no man returns...
