I honestly don't know how you can possibly think that. Macharius Send a noteboard - 29/08/2012 08:14:04 PM
Hillary had spent a significant part of her adult life surrounded by politics and was an inside witness to every single day of Bill's Administrations. There's no way in Hell she would possibly have made so many of the political mistakes Obama has; you can be damned sure she wouldn't have made such a debacle of health care coverage as he did.

It's likely the economic and war issues would be similar, but the context in which the current discussion would be framed would have been completely different - and likely more favorable for Hillary than what Obama is current looking at.

The neo-cons AND the religious right have been sidelined. Tom - 29/08/2012 01:44:04 PM 505 Views
Yes, but I don't think it would have made a significant difference. Ghavrel - 29/08/2012 11:48:22 AM 604 Views
That's clearly incorrect. Tom - 29/08/2012 01:38:21 PM 497 Views
I truly can't say, since I think we might be saying exactly the same thing about her right now. *NM* nossy - 29/08/2012 07:45:15 PM 225 Views

The situation sucked when Obama took office, and he did virtually nothing about it. Tom - 30/08/2012 03:46:02 PM 742 Views
I 95% agree. Macharius - 30/08/2012 04:23:19 PM 490 Views

Fair point. Joel - 29/08/2012 11:14:58 PM 504 Views
i don't know. she may have had all kinds of other problems and things might be the same now. temeraire - 29/08/2012 07:54:45 PM 498 Views
The problems would have been the same, but handling fixing them would have been different. Tom - 30/08/2012 03:48:15 PM 480 Views
Me. *NM* Macharius - 29/08/2012 08:08:21 PM 232 Views

Obviously didn't actually vote, but aye. *NM* Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:00:10 PM 212 Views
I imagine someone would have posted - snoopcester - 29/08/2012 09:20:45 PM 490 Views
Someone might have, but I find it hard to believe she would be as bad Tom - 30/08/2012 03:54:09 PM 483 Views
Not true Praziquantel - 30/08/2012 04:49:51 PM 607 Views
I like that - "By thoroughly smashing his competition for the Peace Prize"...I laughed out loud. Tom - 30/08/2012 05:28:16 PM 463 Views
No, but I say that with a great deal of reluctance and doubt. *NM* Burr - 29/08/2012 09:47:21 PM 198 Views
I would actually like for Biden to retire and Obama to slide Hillary into VP mid-October. TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2012 11:13:31 PM 460 Views
and then resign. *NM* ranagrande - 29/08/2012 11:21:55 PM 239 Views
It's way too late to do that and not look bad. Tom - 30/08/2012 04:02:11 PM 479 Views
Also obviously not a voter but Stephen - 30/08/2012 01:35:22 AM 486 Views
