The Cuckoo, or should I say the Hawk in the nest of Mr Obama's administration, Hillary Clinton, appears to be positioning herself for a run at the US presidency. As I forecast over two years ago, Mr Obama is about to find out, that inviting the Clintons into his team was one great big mistake.

Mr Obama's political capital has been all but expended on the failing economy and politically poisonous domestic problems, while in the State Dept Mrs Clinton walks on water....never putting a foot wrong on foreign affairs and remaining insulated from the Medicare arguments, unemployment,Afghan War ect.

"Last week, the bad news for Mr Obama came in bushels, as a new poll showed plummeting support for his War policy....36% from 48% in Feb....While his approval ratings in other polls flirted with record lows"

"Analysts argue that the vice-president issue is a red herring, and that the next election will be a referendum on Obama, whoever his running mate is. Nor do many Democrats believe Obama wishes to be remembered as the president who merely interrupted the Clintons' grasp on power.While Clinton and Obama are said to be on good terms, and Mrs Clinton has unfailingly dismissed all talk of any challenge to her boss, they remain unlikely running mates in 2012.
Obama would become a lame duck for the next four years,as America prepared for her firsy female president in 2016....when Mrs Clinton will be 68.
Yet Hillary has publicly acknowledged that she cannot see herself remaining as secretary of state for two full Obama terms."
