It's Over: Hillary to Obama: "Fire Me"

Or more accurately, "Get yourself a new Secretary of State." By announcing that she is done, preparing to downshift out of politics, she is announcing that her heart isn't in it, that she's mentally in the next phase. Obama may not be smart enough to see it that way (heresy you say? If the guy ain't smart enough to figure other basic shit out...) but he can't have a checked-out Secretary of State when foreign policy is really all he's got left. With this maneuver the Clintonite abandonment of the Obama Experiment is complete (how was that for a call!) and his lease on the Democratic Party is coming to its close. This is a key milestone in the Great Unravelling process that I have laid out extensively before - the rented loyalists would disappear, the out-of-ideas Democrats would be stuck with 10% unemployment for all of Obama's term, the radical green anti-hydrocarbon policy war would send gas prices higher, and the vicious attacks and rhetoric on business would put business leaders in the bunker (getting growth from temp workers and overtime, but avoiding hiring like the plague). Obama has made every wrong move and squandered nearly every bit of credibility he ever had, and we are all but approaching the end. Some will say the opposite, that he has merely enervated himself and his administration achieving historic things. I'm skeptical. Much of his agenda will be reversed in the coming years but that is a series of posts for another day. Bottom line here, his personnel problems are starting to mount and thus Obama's troubles are intensifying with this news today, not stabilizing.

UPDATE: Just hitting the wires...Obama is in Afghanistan talking to Karzai. I stand corrected, he at least is smart enough to figure out that Hillary is done and is taking measures himself. I certainly hope he is asking Karzai what the f%$k his relative is doing showing up in the UAE with $52 million.
