In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton on Iraq vote: ‘I still got it wrong. Plain and simple.’ [View all]johnlucas
(1,250 posts)I laugh when people act surprised with Hillary running in 2016.
Everything in Hillary's political career has centered on becoming the First Female President.
She has wanted this to happen since she was a child.
And she would have had it if that upstart named Barack Obama didn't show up out of the blue.
After Obama got the nomination from Hillary, they made a deal for her to be placed in a high position under him (Secretary of State) to help her solidify her street cred.
Secretary of State was better than Vice President both because it was a more active position & it creates enough necessary separation between Obama & her (protects both of their images & political allegiances).
The deal they made said that after Obama gets his 2 terms then Hillary would run for her 2.
That's why she stepped down as Secretary of State in his 2nd term.
Can't realistically run for President while being a member of Obama's Cabinet.
Especially in a position like Secretary of State.
~She stepped down to spend more time with her family~
~She stepped down to take care of her health~
HA!
Who's gullible enough to believe this nonsense!
That woman is too ambitious to go home without the PresidencyESPECIALLY after fighting for it all her life.
Hillary would have been the 44th President of the United States if not for Obama.
She most likely will be the 45th.
Fits the history of this country anyhow.
