When Senators Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton had that private meeting at Senator Dianne Feinstein’s house in 2008, everyone wondered about the details. My gut told me that Obama said he would be a reformer for his first term and if the country wasn’t feeling his leadership, Hillary could have it 2012.
My gut always said that Michelle Obama got the same promise from the now-president shortly before that meeting. Like Alma Powell, she has obvious concerns about crazy people’s actions. If not for Mrs. Powell’s concerns, Gen. Powell would have been president rather than Bush 43 and the nation would have avoid much drama. And what would be the barometer of public opinion for the Obamas and the Clintons? The 2010 mid-term elections would be the indicators.
My gut didn’t see the Tea Party Movement coming nor did I see Sarah Palin’s meteoric rise to the leadership of conservative movement. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels or former Governor Mitt Romney are presidential material but if the mid-terms are successful for the Tea Party Republicans, Palin will get the nod from the GOP Primary. Sarah Palin could be president of the United States of America. I divide the T.P. Republicans from “regular” Republicans while others don’t.
If Palin and the T.P. Movement are positioned to take the White House, the possible Hillary-Obama plan from Feinstein’s house might be employed. He might be ready to go since the “yes we can” has become “yes he can.” Dam, the cheering masses haven’t kept their end of the change movement but he still has me.
Bottomline: If you want Obama to even run in 2012 get those who voted for him in 2008 to support congressional Democrats who are in his corner on Election Day 2010. If not, he could seem like a lame duck as early as Thanksgiving and POTUS doesn’t deserve that. Everyone except Democrat voters know the election next week is really a referendum on Obama. The President had finally started saying that openly.
