Will Hillary Step Up To Challenge Obama?

Speculation runs rampant that Obama resign shortly….say by January? If his numbers continue to slide and they will as the economy is hitting everyone in the United States with cross punches that really, really hurt, the Dems will start to put pressure on him to do so.

They don’t want to lose congress after holding it for the last 5 years. They love that power!  In the house, Nancy wants once again to hold that speaker’s seat and will refurbish the jet she once had as a perk and Harry loves telling other senators what to do and when to do it.

But really, have you ever wondered who takes the place of Obama if his numbers and support continue to decline? According to recent polling, 89% of the country thinks it is headed in the wrong direction.

Consider that his campaign is in full swing while he uses taxpayer resources to continue to run around the country making speeches and watches as Rome burns. He observes from the sidelines as Americans suffer from his disinterest in improving the economy. As a result, Obama’s numbers continue to slide and there is only one person who has the moxy, ground game, money, and popularity to run against him or to step up if he resigns – Hillary Clinton.

None in congress will have time to get a campaign together or are well enough liked to campaign for the White House gold ring – and those who have the money to run a campaign are generally unknown. So who is left?

In the last election Americans voted against Bush rather than for Obama and this election will be of the same nature – voting against the incumbent, not for a Republican. So what is to lose if Hillary runs? She enjoys a 62% popularity rating in the polls and has her hubby behind her who is also liked. IF she isn’t elected, what does she lose? She slides into retirement savoring the fact that she actually “beat” Obama at his own game.
But can she win? She is as much a pathological liar as he is and that was clearly proven with her outrageous story of being shot at by Bosnian snipers as she deplaned in that country – while little girls were standing on the tarmac with flowers to greet her! Conservative talk show media will raise the travelgate scandal as she was heavily involved in it and cite her record as secretary of state which is almost non-existent – Palestine still fights with Isreal and Libya is controlled by rebels we support and yet know nothing about.

She doesn’t have negotiation skills nor a government who stands strong as to what is believed so would she make a good president? Many liberal Democrats think so.

Consider the following:
Her husband, Bill has written a new book about putting America to work – that comes out in November. The success of that will accrue to her. She will parrot his ideas – good or bad.
He wants her to be president so he can once again be president. You can bet that he will be her “senior advisor” and take center stage in the White house. Back when, he said that she was “One of the brightest people of her generation.” Oh yeah baby! She stood behind her man when he philandered so now its tit for tat in their household.

He has recently come out and criticized Obama’s jobs and tax proposals as “confusing.” A first grader would call it “Poo Poo” which is a better description. His old advisor and consultant, James Carville is also out stumping about Obama’s failure and his chances of winning. Carville doesn’t do this unless the Clintons tell him to do so. It doesn’t do Bill any good for himself as he can’t run again, but it does wonders for Hillary and her chances to be the Democratic nominee come January or February.

Hillary has spent time this past three years getting some “bona fides” that will stand up as a claim to her competency – she is Secretary of State. As state Senator from NY and a former first lady, she had enough in liberal minds to be named as Secretary and with her current position, those same liberal voters will blindly push the button next to her name.

Obama is battling for his political life and if the economy does not turn around, he will not win in November – Americans will punish him for not having the sense to do what is needed.

They already see the results of his fecklessness, his inexperience, and his ego. So who is waiting in the wings? Hillary!

Watch this great video of LTC Allen West talking to his constituents back in South Florida’s Congressional District 22 (March, 2011).   Among the things he discusses are his NOT running for President in 2012, the Continuing Resolution vote, Harry Reid’s comments about the Tea Party (great impersonation!), National Debt, Libya & the new Egyptian regime.

Watch this great video on Health Care solutions, brought to you by Amanda Teresi and Drew McCullough.  If you like it, post “my choice for winner” in the comments box on YouTube, to help make it the winner of the best video denouncing Obamacare contest. Amanda and Drew’s video is the only one that actually discusses the perils of our current system, and how Obamacare will only make it worse. Winning this contest will help Amanda and Drew create more videos like this one (on all free market/liberty related issues, not just health care). The contest runs until midnight on Wednesday the 23rd. Thank you for participating.

From Heritage’s The Foundry:

Today former Congressman Ernest Istook testified before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee about the $105 billion slush fund in advance appropriations liberals tucked inside Obamacare. The $105 billion bypasses the traditional yearly budgeting process and is spread throughout the 2,700 page legislation. It took the Congressional Research Service (CRS) seven months to identify all the disparate funds and it was not until February (11 months after the bill passed) that all of the funds could be totaled up.

Are 80 freshmen of the 112th Congress, many backed by Tea Party groups, going to lay down to leadership and abandon efforts to defund  OBAMACARE??   We have to make some noise now about this.   Michele Bachmann is basically standing alone trying to get rid of Obamacare through the $105B that was hidden in the Health Care bill.  We can stop this whole KremlinKare thing right here right now,  IF WE GET LOUD ENOUGH.

Obama offers to let Governor’s propose alternative health care laws … click HERE to read article.

Obama’s going to “let” Governors propose  alternative health care laws.  How generous of him, allowing Governor’s to weigh in on something that belongs is their jurisdiction, not in the hands of the Feds.  Kremlin Care was passed against the will of the people, by an absurd constitutional maneuver called Reconciliation, when nothing else worked to get enough votes to pass the bill.  Once again Obama is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong… in State’s Rights.  Have you heard of a thing called the 10th Amendment?  LEAVE US ALONE.  I wonder if any of my Liberal friends who think Obama is doing such a wonderful job, have ever even heard of the 10th Amendment.

The Tenth Amendment explicitly states the Constitution’s principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people.
