Axelrod: Hillary Won’t Be a ‘Potted Plant’

Good job ……………He is doing the right thing and I sure hope it proves a great success for all of them.

Hear, hear! We voted for him to take this country in a new direction. He’s choosing strong, intelligent people who are not afraid of expressing their opinions. He doesn’t want yes men and women. I think we should trust him to do the job we have hired him to do.

pmp2008,
Who do you think has good judgment? Hillary, I suppose since Pres 0bama has none other than beneficial to himself.
Experience? I suppose you mean it’s Hillary also.
So one an other is one after all.

Good judgment amounts to appointing experienced people; also good manager amounts to being in charge of what the more experienced or shall I say appropriately experienced people do for you. A leader must choose the right people. It has never been different in the past and will not in future. There is only one President or a Leader. What a bunch of stupid arguments I have read here.

OBAMA SAID HE WANTED TO CHANGE WASHINGTON ,INSTEAD HE HAS EMPLOYED WASHINGTON THATS NOT CHANGE OBAMA .

I don’t think either of them is that stupid. Obama can get rid of her at will, then she’d be out of a job. I think she will do a superb job.

Hillary Rocks!!!!!!!!
She will be President next time, hands down. Obimbo doesn’t know his head from his ass. Go Hillary Go Hillary Love the Clintons!!! :o)

The Dear Leader knows best. Sleep well. Long live the Dear Leader!

BHO is telling his supporters that he is not stupid like his supporters and to run the country you need experienced hands and not sexy look with the empty ‘Change’ message.

Obama is the potted plant. Just water him and add fertilizer occasionally. And, he will just sit back and delegate!
That is what he is trained to do! :)

The Clintons are capable people without all of the manipulation by media, surragates, and old timers.
I think the Clinton appointment was a bargning chip to get the support that the Obama campaign was convienced it needed to win. To really be “CHANG”, if the Clinton’s chose not to be involved they should have been left alone and the Obama campaign should have taken the risk. I think they would have been suprised.
If the truth was faced, Obama started to move up with women and the working man’s voters before the Clinton drama.
this has the over tones of “calling in favors”.
With the push of the media and the oldtimers there was no trust that the new guy was capable of doing the job.
This is the unspoken evidence of the insidius racism in our country. AND THIS IS NOT THE RACE CARD.

FYI allknowingdude,
Formal education is for the most part a boring system of brainwashing by pseudo intellectuals called professors!
Most people go through the ritual to get the piece of paper that buys them entrance to their dream job – at least it used to!
It would appear that most bloggers, liberal or conservative, have not gone through the process! :)

“Formal education is for the most part a boring system of brainwashing by pseudo intellectuals called professors!”
————————————–
Actually formal education, provided you do not sleep through class, teaches you to think for yourself and not be a sheep.

I truly believe that the next time Hillary Clinton runs for President she will bring to the plate a whole lot more experience as the result of accepting Obama’s offer. She won’t be beatable.I’m so looking forward to watching her take on this job.

I enjoy hearing about Obama’s plans to start up new jobs, work on the conservation of energy, and clean up schools. Hillary will never be a “stick in the mud”. She has too much class. All in all this is going to be a true pain reliever and I am looking forward to it.

Well, I hope that they stick to that story if things don’t go right and not try to throw Hillary under the bus because of his policies. I expect him to take responsibility for his policies and not try tor throw the people in his administration under the bus anytime he sees fit, the bus is pretty full from the Primaries and the General Election, let us hope that there are no more passengers.

No offense, I agree this is an important matter, but lets look at priorities. Economy, 2 wars, hmm. Is it more important right now for him to focus on marriage for all or the declining economy and its repercussions that millions will face. I think its more important to eat and have shelter right now than getting married,focus people focus. What would a comment from him actually do at this point in time, nothing. I find it interesting that everyone has been so quick to judge and he is not even in office yet. We have never had a situation like this before, and in the past new incoming Presidents were not held to this unreasonable standard. He has already said he does not support same sex marriage, but feels they should have the same rights, wait till he gets into office so he can actually really do something. Give it a rest. As much as we do not want to except it that other guy is still in charge.

A potted plant? hilarious hilary may be good for puttering in the white house lawn or gardens. what expertise does she have on foreign affairs?
Such a disappointing post. even though we voted Obama in, it has now become a national embarrassment. how do we explain this abroad to our cohorts? as expatriates we’ll never be able to return home given situations like this.

Is Obama going to carry out any of him campaign promises or was it all just lies to get elected????

No Change; It’s always been lies to get elected. You must be a “young” voter. It happens every time! I’m 59 years old and I remember Nixon, Kennedy, McGovern, Dukakis, Mondale, not to mention Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton (the biggest liar), Bush II, etc. etc.

HILLARY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE SEC OF STATE BUT DID NOT HAVE THE EXP TO BE PRESIDENT, THAT DOES NOT SOUND CORRECT
BESIDES WHERE IS ALL THE CHANGE THAT OSHAMA OOPS OBAMA PROMISSED, HE ALINED HIMSELF WITH ALL THE SAME CLONES FROM WASHINGTON WITH YEARS AND YEARS OF EXP YET WITH ALL THOSE YEARS IN WASHINGTON NO CHANGE CAME WHILE THEY WERE THERE, BUT BECAUSE THE OSHAMA ORDEAL IS HERE NOW IS WHEN THE EXP AND YEAR AND YEARS OF CRAP IS GOING TO HELP, WAY TO GO AMERICA GOOD LUCK

CHANGE IS…, CHANGE Is…., CHANGE IS….., CHANGE IS……
All I got left is the change in my poket!!!!

NH voter, If it succeeds, it is because it is the Clinton team, not the change he promised!

Justin….and I bet you know your ass from the rest of you. You may call BO any name you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s the president, and you are a hateful moron.
moonshine….you should call yourself evilshine. Yes, Obama is going to be a great leader for this nation, if not the world. You, just a no-body.
Mike, JohnBiden, Alikhan, NoChange, LingT,…the man isn’t in office yet. Bush is still president. From you folks writings…who needs foreign terrorists…you all doing a sore loosers’ job. If you’re looking for change, why don’t you all start with yourselves.
If you all can remember what president Bush promises too: “bringing civility to Washington and prosperous to the country.” Well? Did he? I rest my case!

Oh, chokura- how I wish I could bet you money that you are so wrong.
After a few years pass, it will be clear that the Clinton are, as they have always been, party loyalists and team players.
I have no doubt. If only I could get more of you paranoid conspiracy theorists to bet on this with me, I could fund my retirement.

khatts98178, ‘You may call BO any name you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s the president, and you are a hateful moron.’
You are the moron, BO is the President-Elect, not the President!

Shay, He was promising change–not Washington insiders! If we wanted a return to Clinton’s presidency, we would have voted for Clinton–Bill!

This position will give H-Clinton more experience and the ability to manipulate policy, as well as being 4th in line should something unfortunate happen?

Oh please, so we have to put up with Hillary’s arrogance and dog face for 4 years ?

we are not crying cuz of the people he surrounds himself with, we are crying for the change that Oshama was calling for. yet he never delivered on his promise did he. WHERE IS THE CHANGE

No sooner had the children of Israel gotten out of Egypt than they started complaining….
Same human tendency. Derives from individual personal traits that spills over the Internet. What is wrong with at least waiting until inauguration day? Nearly half of the appointees are not Washington insiders or Clinton reruns. Would you all rather have him put complete 100% inexperienced people? Sometimes even change needs a transition – experienced hands to guid e the new – that is why Summers is still there as well as the new k.o.b. Geithner.
Truth is that half of the premature complaining is not about Obama but about the blogger – one even picking hairs about president-elect not president – then in the same blog blames not yet president for the actions while not yet president. What a waste of Internet traffic. Get over the campaign and the election, folks. Hate never filled a single pocket or stomach.
God bless all those who choose to do or sserve whether Obama, Clinton, Geithner, Summers, military and everywhere else, the millions that keep our country moving forward.

“Enough problems have bee created by this past administration to last a life time. Why don’t some of you channel that energy into some possitive idea”
That’s good’ol positive energy.
