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.

And I really don't know how you can feel that all her "what ifs" definitely show she would have done a better job. I don't have a problem imagining how things could be better, and that maybe she would have made more correct choices (and not so many incorrect in different areas that it wouldn't balance out), but the situation sucked when Obama went in, and I stand by my original statement.
/Survey - For Obama voters: in all seriousness, how many of you wish Hillary had won in 2008?

Post-October 2008 would have been a dog's supper for whomever was going to be elected President

Yes, but I don't think it would have made a significant difference.

I truly can't say, since I think we might be saying exactly the same thing about her right now. *NM*

I honestly don't know how you can possibly think that.

The situation sucked when Obama took office, and he did virtually nothing about it.

The problems would have been the same, but handling fixing them would have been different.

I would actually like for Biden to retire and Obama to slide Hillary into VP mid-October.
