Two more articles circulated today visiting the idea of Hillary Rodham Clinton running for the highest office in the land. They seem to be multiplying exponentially as Americans awaken from their funk to the realities of Obama's leadership deficit and the history they made.
Once again we have an article that refers to op-eds previously posted and discussed on these pages, but it is new and thus meets the requirement of my resolve to share these speculations as they come along.
From This Week.
Would Hillary Clinton have been a better president than Obama?
After the president's much-maligned handling of the debt-ceiling crisis, a nagging question resurfaces
With liberals still irate over President Obama's chronic caving to Republicans during Washington's debt-ceiling crisis, pesky questions have resurfaced. On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, the politically-incorrect pundit asked his panel, "Do you think people on the Left are having buyers' remorse about the president?" — and the question, finetuned with a focus on Hillary Clinton as the erstwhile Obama alternative, has since inspired plenty of commentary. Should Democrats have picked Clinton instead?
This, from The Grio ends much the way the Leslie Bennetts article did - anticlimactically for Hillary supporters - but it does raise the question. One thing no one has mentioned so far, so I will, is that HRC is ever so much more a seasoned and powerful possibility than she was in 2008, and she was a cannonball in those campaigns. She is even better now. Hillary Rodham Clinton is now nuclear! She would blow any opponent out of the water. Just sayin'.

At a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, the newly demoted frontrunner sarcastically shaded Obama's more optimistic view of our political system.
Then Sen. Clinton quipped, "Now I could stand up here and say, 'Let's just get everybody together. Let's get unified.' The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect!"
When she made those remarks, it was easy to dismiss them as musings from a politician on the "And I Am Telling You" portion of her failed campaign. However, following a recent debt ceiling deal that has only delivered smiles to members of the GOP -- particularly its Tea Party faction - some Democrats are revisiting her point-of-view.
