If I were President Obama, I would be righteously pissed off at Hillary [View all]

The only real stain on his legacy is her term at State. I realize she trapped him into the appointment in 2008 to bring her PUMAs to heel.

I wonder if he thinks it was worth it. I'm surprised he has been so quiet about her escapades.
