What Would Hillary Do?
Interesting numbers today from Gallup, which has Hillary Clinton running strong in a hypothetical 2012 primary challenge to President Barack Obama.
The 52 percent-37 percent margin is interesting to me because … I’ve wondered what I would do if Clinton were to mount a nomination challenge.
The obstacles faced by Obama and his team have no doubt been great, but that said, I’m not sure that Obama has grown into the leader that he needs to be giving the challenges being faced by the country.
He sold voters in 2008 on vision, but the key criticism I would offer two years later is that his presidency has largely lacked vision, at the expense of political expediency, at which he has proven, from looking at the results, to be less than adept at.

Although I still consider myself a supporter of President Obama, Hillary Clinton was my choice for President and still is. I really believe that the country would be far better off if she had won. The crazy right-wingers would have such an easy target, they would be facing a target that “fights”.
Correction: “would have such an easy target”, should have been “would not have had such an easy target”.
