In reply to the discussion: If I were President Obama, I would be righteously pissed off at Hillary [View all]imari362
(311 posts)He'd rather has someone in office who will have the media on a continuous feed frenzy of scandals/real, imagined, Bills, or hers.....his hard work will be tarred forever with another Clinton in the WH.
As for Dr. West he did less than what the Clinton's had in '08 and it seems to me he didn't hold that against either one of them....I don't believe he is vindictive in that way.
It makes more logical sense to me that Hillary got the SOS position, not because she changed her PUMA's minds...because many of them stuck to their guns...but because it kept her out of his re-election bid in '12... maybe as they agreed...and she would at least not fade into nothingness or spend those 4yrs attacking him...which would have doomed her chances forever.....I don't believe that President Obama will be campaigning too very hard for her if she is the nominee, he may be out there but won't break much of a sweat....MY opinion.
