Articles like this just burn me to no end.  She is qualified for SOS..now talk of SOD..qualified to be a Senator...a "rock" that just gets the job done.

And yet, not qualified to be POTUS?

God forbid we actually elect someone who has a CLUE!

STAMP!!!   Yeah, who'd have thunk the person that is indispensable got shoved aside and put in Foggy Bottom. 

Eleanor Clift makes very good observation in that article.

I just hope the likes of Christ "Tingles-down-the-leg-for-O" Matthews wakes up to realize that all that is fancy and arugala-esque is not good enough to rise to leadership and the real deal is the one with experience, size of her ankles not-withstanding!

The thing about Hillary that people will learn sooner or later is how incredibly resilient she is. Pres.Bill Clinton himself had said something like, just let her sit and giver her a glass of water and she perks up and blooms like a plant in no time at all.  What we also know of is her tenacity and incredible stick-to-it focus - she is a phenomenal listener [I am giving heightened meaning to the word phenomenal there] and with that listening and focus she is an unparelleled learner.  Those skills and her love for the US makes enables her to shine and deliver.

Hillary preaches and practices "Bloom where you are planted."

Of course, people who are jaded will see ill-will in everything and will call her names.  Progressive used to be a good word.  It was considered a good word in early 2008 but no, not anymore.  Those who are only sideline users of Clinton supporters will toss the word "progressive" and think it is bad that Hillary in 2008 called herself a progressive in the midst of a debate, having been asked to place herself along a spectrum.  Listen folk, she didnt name herself a liberal.  She is a moderate who truly strive for EQUALITY of all human beings.  Anyone recall the "Equal Pay Act" (Lilly Ledbetter)??  She was in the WH for the signing of that even though she was already SOS -- that is because she was a key sponsor and she truly fought for that along side other fellow senators.

Hillary has a deep sense of justice and fairness, of the need for defense and offense to bring forth strategic change in pockets of the world that do not live by the natural laws of equality... and that DOES make her more hawkish than most liberals in the current administration... That and her focus on small businesses and job creation are the reasons why she is a moderate (progressive) and that is fantastic combination in a person who may rise to POTUS one day soon, citizens-willing.

But, if we get stuck on stupid and blame wife for whatever it is that the husband may have done rather than credit her for raising a tremendous child amidst controversies, if we fail to see the tremendous leadership she has provided to all around her for many decades, and the great value and leadership she is providing now, we are bound to get more hype -- and of course the parenthetic may be (D) or (R) - but in the need to bring "change" from what has become a diplorable economy, there is some fear that the swing to the (R) may lead to loss of the tremendous work towards EQUALITY that people like and including Hillary have led over the years.

If we the US are damned lucky, we will have Hillary run in 2012.
