It’s being reported that Hillary Clinton would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama’s reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic presidential candidate.
Senior figures in the Obama camp have told Democrat colleagues that the offer to Mrs Clinton of a cabinet post as health secretary or to steer new legislation through the Senate will be a central element of their peace overtures to the New York senator.
Barack Obama would be foolish to allow Hillary Clinton anywhere near his administration.reported
Hillary has proven over the past few months that she is not about the Democratic Party, she is in fact, all about Hillary Clinton. She would not be a ‘loyal’ administer of Barack Obama’s policies. She would not give her ‘all’ for him and his administration. She is an angry and frustrated person right now. She will never forget that Barack Obama took away her dream of being President.
At this point I think of Hillary the way I thought about George W. Bush when he took on Governor Ann Richards in Texas to replace her as governor for saying those famous words about his dad "Poor George. He can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
Bush also took on Al Gore in the 2000 election as payback for Bill Clinton and Gore’s for removing his dad as President in 1992.
Bush was very angry at Saddam Hussein for supposedly trying to kill his father years ago, that’s why we went to war in Iraq. George W. Bush has been all about ‘payback’ since 1992. Hillary Clinton is in that same mode -- it’s payback time.
Giving Hillary a shot at working on Obama’s health care plan would have a double whammy effect.
Republicans will remind Americans during the fall campaign how she and Bill wanted to give us a very complicated universal health care plan such as the one Canada has and how Americans didn’t go for it back in 92, why would they go for it now?
Secondly, Hillary because of the ‘mode’ I mentioned she’s in – would be working ‘against’ Obama’s plan behind closed doors – allowing it to fail.
Barack Obama would run into the same problems having Hillary as his Vice President. I’m afraid that the ‘mode’ she’s in, she will only do him harm in the long run.
If Hillary had conceded this election long ago or hadn't sided with McCain on different occasions, I perhaps would have endorsed her for VP or any other position – I can no longer do so.
Obama will be very sorry if he gives her any position in his administration. Hillary is about Hillary -- not the Party and especially not about a President Barack Obama.
