(Now, if you occasionally hear me aim a jibe at Pharoah, it’s mostly to stay in practice.)

I will never ever vote Hillar again ever.!!!

But will we nill we, he is the incoming POTUS, and I prefer HRC to Kerry or Richardson as SoS

In 92 when Big Dawg came in MANY Dems didnt like Hill and Bill, well IMHO THEY, those DEMS, the internicine strife KILLED universal healthcare and led to the 93 elections and the NEWT effect

I do not want to be one of those DEMS who didnt like Big Dawg or Hillary and stymied their attempts to bring meaningful reform to the people of America and the world

The Senate leadership votes were held yesterday, Hillary got no chair no subcmte, no nada

she is a junior Senator out of 100 others, who will have I am sure LOTS of impact for NYS but none for anyone else.

I believe Hillary has already taken the post, and I believe we will hear shortly

I think she KNOWS she can do more as SoS

Please take a gander on her duties as SoS, think of her 16 billion budget, her world travel, and how she can highlight the needs of those around the world and how Big Dawg can help those people..

I did a post on it here:

thank you again for all the comments, I know this is an unpopular view and I really appreciate the courtesy of the opinions :0)

A couple of key factors to consider
Are you ready, willing, and able to move forward?
Are you using a microscope or a telescope to peer into the future?
Are you using tinted lens (dark, rosy or clear) as you look back at the past?
Do you know which direction (north, south east or west) is forward?
Finding a park bench and just resting awhile is sometimes the best option.

Which is why, even using the “Hardest Rule”, we all don’t end up at the same place. Or we end up at the same place but travel a different path. I agree with you on HRC as SOS. Agree on needing the auto industry in future. Disagree on how to get there. I don’t think a bail out will save them, the companies need to dismantle, reform and rebuild. And the workforce will be the better for it moving forward.

We need people in Congress willing to stand for civil liberties and fair play. We don’t need them looking out for seating arrangements at a G8 conference.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

“Our character…is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.”

The past for me is fairly immediate: how The Pretender got to where he is. I won’t forget it, and I won’t forgive it, because otherwise I condone it and help to create a new, viler paradigm of corruption in our country. And those people who are jumping on board his administration, all those former Clintonites, are now suspect to me.

And if The Pretender’s character is an omen of his, and therefore our, destiny, we’re in for a rough ride. And yet, maybe that’s what has to happen for anything to change. In my work, I see every day a reality of being human - we do not make changes in our lives until we’ve hit bottom.

“And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin

I don’t think, as difficult a time as we’re experiencing right now in this country, that we’re ready to blossom. So, many will look away from the past, ignore the character of The Pretender, applaud the illusion of his successes, and continue to remain tight in the bud of denial.

Me, I’m ready to blossom. And for all those others who are also ready, we need to form a cohesive group with a plan of action. We need to bring together all the different factions to create a real movement of change. We need a leader and a voice. It’s not Hillary any more.

I vote for Lady Lynn!

I want what works best for this country. I sure don’t want Obama to fail to prove me right about him. I want to be quite wrong, in fact.

Selfish motives? You betcha!

All of this speculation about Obama, his policies, his cabinet, etc. is a waste of time because Obama has done and said nothing that we can depend on. If a pathological liar tells you something, are you going to alter your life to accommodate his promise? Of course not. The only thing predictable about Obama is that he is unpredictable, he exists for us to serve his needs, and unless we can read his mind, we’ll never know for sure what he wants us to do at any given moment.

Speculating about the merits of Hillory as SoS in an Obama administration is a waste of time when you understand the fickle nature of her boss. Your time would be better spent planning what you’re going to do with all the money when you win the lottery.

Narcissists are vindictive people — O is a passive aggressive and he is very controlling.

I agree with Snickers, above — the next few months and years are going to be very difficult for America — the “change” some people are looking forward to isn’t the change they will be seeing.

O is an unrepentant sexist pig — he simply has no respect for women. Respect for women is learned behavior — and he was in the wrong place when boys learn about social rules and customs.

Sorry I just can’t see the Stock Market analogy — O is a con man — he is not what he seems. Nothing he does is what it seems.

With people the PAST is very important. The past is who we are, living in the present moment. The people in our past — shape who we are.

The culture we grow up in shapes who we are, and how we see the world. Again — this is our past — but it shapes our present and our future.

I KNEW when bush was appointed by the Supreme Court that he was going to be one of the worst presidents in US history. He was a failure as a businessman and he escaped insider trading because of who his daddy was. I don’t think any of us could imagine how really bad he was going to be — 8 years ago.

O is already making more decisions — Biden as VP is a glaring example of bad judgment. Again past behavior gives us clues of his future behavior.

AGM — Attention Getting Mechanism.

Tossing out Clinton’s name as SoS — is a game — it is an AGM. Dysfunctional families have at least one child who is very skilled at using AGM — to divert attention and to stop the fighting of family members. Some adults continue to use AGMs to control others. I see this in 0-zero.

As soon as the attention of the public is distracted O will toss out another AGM to remain the center of attention — he uses people — he has no empathy, nor respect for people. This is based on his PAST behavior.

Human beings have a past and that past directs how we behave in the present and in the future.
