Cool.
Now, the follow through. Is it the same one, eliminate the Dept of Education, so that the Secretary of State (sic) won't have anything to do?
I kind of like the idea of firing the Secy of Ed, and tying Hillary's hands, both. I know we cannot get rid of the Dept of State, since the Constitution lists it in the schedule of "what happens if the President dies, and the VP, and the Speaker of the House, and . . .".
BTW, I cannot figure if Hillary thinks that doing such a lousy job as Secy of State to get Obama pushed out, will then be a kudo for her own bid for President. I mean, it is amazing that so many foreign entanglements and such are going on, with nearly no mention of Secy Clinton. And so much is going badly, I would think the Secy of State would be fired, and someone competent put in that position. Instead, it looks like Hillary (the candidate) bribed Obama's speech writer to make him look bad.
Unless Obama is setting Hillary up for some last-minute, under-the-bus-throwing, election strategy.
The S of S job is the Washington equivalent to exile to Siberia. Hills job is to travel the world, keep a low profile, and never get in front of a camera unless she's a respectful 3 paces behind the president.
This follows the Machiavellian rule to keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. I still think this will backfire.
Hill will announce her candidacy early next year, citing her long service as S of S in lieu of any actual executive experience, and take advantage of every failure being attributable to her boss, and any success being her work.
At that point, even the Dems will be tired of apologizing for the boob-in-chief and Obie will join his former friends under the bus.
