Obama needs to talk up Hillary tomorrow

[Onlooker]

Hillary Clinton is very popular, not only with women, but with a lot of independents and quite a few men. I think she's been one of the truly great Secretary of States, and I think Obama would be wise to talk up her success in handling our relations, not only in the Middle East, but also with our dealings with other parts of the world. I really hope Obama brings up her name quite a few times tomorrow. I think it will make him seem more humble, will help him connect with women and others, will give Hillary the praise she deserves, and could encourage Hillary to run for President in 2016, when I sure hope we have a woman candidate.

1. She is one of the greats . . .

and I have no doubt that he will speak highly of her tomorrow!

3. He is responsible for choosing her for the job

which, of course, speaks highly of him as well as her.

2. It depends on the questions?

4. Hillary has said twice now, and only recently, that she's done with politics

Whether President Obama wins or not, she's done with the next term. I agree that she has been a great SoS and she is still popular and any mentions would probably be good but I'd give up hopes that she's running in 2016.

5. He took responsibility on Libya in the last debate.

He was miffed at the suggestion that anybody in his administration, specific HClinton and Susan Rice, was politicizing the incident. He specifically said the buck stops with him. I think he did a great job taking responsibility and pushing back on the accusations flying from the rightwing douchebags.
