I have to laugh when I see stuff like this here.
This comes from the WSJ, two Democratic Pollsters are in full on, “We have to save our Party!” mode:
When Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson accepted the reality that they could not effectively govern the nation if they sought re-election to the White House, both men took the moral high ground and decided against running for a new term as president. President Obama is facing a similar reality—and he must reach the same conclusion.
He should abandon his candidacy for re-election in favor of a clear alternative, one capable not only of saving the Democratic Party, but more important, of governing effectively and in a way that preserves the most important of the president’s accomplishments. He should step aside for the one candidate who would become, by acclamation, the nominee of the Democratic Party: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Never before has there been such an obvious potential successor—one who has been a loyal and effective member of the president’s administration, who has the stature to take on the office, and who is the only leader capable of uniting the country around a bipartisan economic and foreign policy.
Certainly, Mr. Obama could still win re-election in 2012. Even with his all-time low job approval ratings (and even worse ratings on handling the economy) the president could eke out a victory in November. But the kind of campaign required for the president’s political survival would make it almost impossible for him to govern—not only during the campaign, but throughout a second term.
Boy, you can almost see the sweat on the top of their lips and hear the panicky quiver in their voices. Let me clue the liberals who dare to actually read this blog; Hillary would not be any better at all. She would not be any better of a leader. We would still be in this sucky economy and still have all the problems that we have now.
So, all of this idiotic nonsense about Hillary is just overly stupid. Plus too, Hillary has made it clear that once her Secretary of State term is up, she is out of politics for good. So, all of this wishing and asking and such is for naught.
Sorry Democrats, you voted this turkey in and now you get to watch him get trounced in the election of 2012.
