Mrs. Carter too.

Are you serious about that Bob? Hillary for president? I doubt that she is physically cabable to do that job. Just the election campaign would be probably too much for her. I had the impression that she was physically and therefore also mentally extremely exhausted at the end of her secretary of state job. Pity because she is a brilliant person.

She was far more active in things that actually mattered. And, she had the guts to tell it like it is.

I'll go with Eleanor Roosevelt and toss in Laura Bush for the recent category.

Jackie O also had some admirable qualities, but unfortunately, like her husband, was not around long enough for a judgement of her efficacy.

Jackies afterlife said a lot about her character, ever the class act.

She's only 67 years old, younger than some men we've elected to the Presidency.
She's going to kick some rightwing fascist ass in '16 and be re-elected in 2020.

So she would have to struggle with the rightwing ass Angie for eight years because the German morons re-elect her again and again and again until she is as old as Adenauer when he quit the show.

Perhaps the Presidency job suits Hillary better than the secretary of state job. Anyway I keep my fingers crossed for her.

Considering what Mr. Obama inherited from his predecessor and that he has had nothing but opposition and roadblocks put up from the other party I think he's done pretty well for himself.

My stocks have rebounded, I'm employed and my home is increasing in value. Do some people still suffer from the Bush years? Yea, but they suffer at the hands of republicans, not Obama.
