It has been said to Gore "If only ya did not try to run so hard from Bill and Hill, ya woulda been President!" Well, we already see Hillary running from Obama.

Let me tell you why the TIMING of this matters. We are in an election season, Bill is already trotting about the country supporting DINOs. However, Hillary, the Sec of State, is already joining in the GOP dogpile of Obama. She is criticizing him for not agreeing with the GOP and not bombing Syria,which, as we know, was the lead up to the War with Iran some have wanted for 20 years!
The timing of this is a message: if we do not win the Senate, two lies will be blasted at full volume: we lost the senate because of Obama, and he lost it because he listened to the left. Granted, if Hillary was a left wing Sec of State, then i would see her critizing Obama, because the reason he is in trouble is because he listened way way way too much to the RIGHT WING. He gave up so much to the right, even to the point of hiring Hillary herself, only to get backstabbed.
But there is a still larger issue. If the GOP has the Senate, than Hillary will be even more kneecapped then Obama was. After all, if nothing else, the past eight years have shown that the legislature runs the country, and that they that buy the legislature run it. Surely Hillary would not be trying to throw the GOP senate races on purpose right?, see bill with Allison grimes?
WRONG. If she plays herself as the Joan of Arc that the GOP has tied to the burning stake, she will be able to write off any reason for doing anything left! ANYTHING! Of course the media will say compromise is needed, and because she has the right skin complexion, they will pad the walk to the right with palm leaves and rose petals, as opposed to the broken glass and dog turds they made Obama walk on!
The fix is in..Hillary knows what side her bread is buttered, and it lies with a congress that will glady play the mustachio'd villain to her maudlin maiden, an act both parties will play as cynically as a bunch of "exotic dancers" in a Tampa stripjoint!
