Hillary's Running for President

Hillary Clinton recently made the statement below to the Council on Foreign Relations. In that most conservatives and everyone but the far Lefties would agree with it, she has obviously concluded that Obama is DOA for 2012 and is moving to get in the race. I guess Carville's comments about the Obama Administration's botched handling of the Gulf oil well were not a coincidence. Stay tuned for open warfare in the Democratic party, although I also note that Rahm is looking at the Chicago mayoral race. Perhaps it's already a done deal and Obama is the only one who doesn't know it yet.

"Addressing the Council on Foreign Relations today in Washington, D.C., Clinton said the U.S. budget deficit under the Obama administration poses a national security threat and projects a "message of weakness" internationally. Responding to a question from CFR President Richard Haas, Clinton said rising U.S. debt levels pose a national security threat in two ways: "It undermines our capacity to act in our own interest, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable."

Clinton continued, "I mean, it is very troubling to me that we are losing the ability not only to chart our own destiny but to, you know, have the leverage that comes from this enormously effective economic engine that has powered American values and interests over so many years."
