President Barack Obama says he thinks Hillary Rodham Clinton would be "an excellent president."

Clinton is expected to launch her long-anticipated second run for president on Sunday with an online video.

Obama says Clinton was a formidable candidate against him when they competed for the Democratic nomination in 2008.

He says she became a great supporter of his in the general election that year, and that she was an outstanding secretary of state during his first term.

Says Obama: "I think she would be an excellent president."

He adds that Clinton will have strong messages to deliver if she does decide to run.

Welp.

She's going to run unopposed.
 
Well he wouldn't make her secretary if she wasn't great lol


How close where she and Barack in 08 primaries?

I remember being shocked at the time that Barack got the nom.
 
You know, I'd almost certainly vote for her (she's been a good soldier since 08), but I'm not interested in a coronation.

I await the unlikely candidate to dive in and win the election.
Hillary Clinton is acceptable if this does not happen.
I am wary that these presidential firsts shall be followed, like the reconstruction era, with a long time span of normalcy afterwards.
 
A NYT article today on her decision to embrace rather than run away from him, and their co-dependent relationship:

Rather than run from Mr. Obama, she intends to turn to him as one of her campaign’s most important allies and advocates — second only, perhaps, to her husband, the other president whose record will hover over her bid.

In a general election, Mr. Obama is expected to help Mrs. Clinton raise money, and he would be asked to campaign for her in, among other places, the most heavily African-American counties of the swing states that he won in 2008 and 2012, according to numerous people briefed on the plans, who discussed them on the condition of anonymity.

Mr. Obama would most likely be scarce on the stump in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Clinton defeated him in the 2008 primaries by appealing to women and white working-class voters.

But even in those states, Mrs. Clinton does not plan to distance herself from Mr. Obama’s record, advisers said. Rather, she intends to praise, above all, the economic progress Mr. Obama has made, getting the country out of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and cutting the unemployment rate nearly in half.

Pretty close until June or so. Then, it was inevitable that Obama got the nomination, but there were people were seriously said that All Gore should come back to lead a unification ticket for the democrats.
 
Definitely the least worst pick out of likely contenders, though I'd love Elizabeth Warren to run
 
Keep Biden as Vice President, it is best to have him unrestrained by the office of presidency. Clinton-Biden, the best ticket

The head of the NRA yesterday at their annual conference told the crowd that "eight years of one demographically symbolic president is enough".

Not even a subtle dog whistle.
 
It's worth noting we don't know what things will look like by this time next year. If the economy continues to improve, Obama avoids major scandals, and we don't have a major foreign policy fuck up...Hillary will be sitting pretty. If things go bad economically, scandals plague the WH, more foreign policy problems...yea, she might end up running against Obama, as McCain did to Bush in 2008.
 
Al Gore is 67 just like Hillary.


Personally I would prefer an under 50 president again, but who fits the bill out there?

Good to see Hillary's not going to act like most of the Dems that ended up losing in 2014. Running away from Obama and acting like you want nothing to do with him isn't a winning strategy.
 
Any early indication on who she is going with for VP? Make Obama VP. Keep him in the White House.

Can't do more than two terms.

I forget if it's for life or consecutively.

Wasn't there a thing that this wasn't really clear and somebody ran for a third term but didn't end up winning?

As far as I know this is still up in the air.
 
snakes, the whole lot. No matter who is in power, they will continue to support the fund raisers interests, and none of the citizens. Social issues aside, although important, don't blind me from seeing that there is an agenda that doesn't change no matter who wins.

Social issues aside?

Lol. That's like 90% of the reason why you choose between the two parties.
