Peggy Noonan on Hillary Invisibility: ‘Sooner or Later Mr. Obama is Going to Get in Trouble’

» 1 comment

picture-3Peggy Noonan is now weighing in on Hillary Clinton’s apparent disappearance from Obama’s political landscape in this week’s WSJ column. Not only does she echo Tina Brown’s earlier thoughts on the matter, it appears that she’s suddenly on Team Hillary:

Mrs. Clinton is in a different position now. By this spring it must have become apparent to her that when the nice new president came and offered her the secretary of state job, and she said yes, she got rolled. What he got was clear: He took her off the chessboard.

**

But you know, one thing Mrs. Clinton’s learned is how to wait. Things turn on a dime, you wake up in the morning and there’s a new headline that changes everything. Sooner or later Mr. Obama is going to get in trouble, sooner or later the trouble will take hold and settle in, and sooner or later she will be the unsullied one who quietly did her duty in spite of the slights to which she’s been subjected. And when that happens, she will emerge—reluctantly, painfully—as the Democratic alternative. The one who almost won, who knew—who learned the hard way—that you can’t do everything all at once, that it’s the economy, stupid.

They will look like kids playing with history. Hillary isn’t a kid. She’s experienced, and has been roughed up by history. Watch. She’ll roll right back.

    Peggy Noonan is now weighing in on Hillary Clinton’s apparent disappearance from ….

    What Peggy- readers down? Apparently you missed her town hall meeting last Friday? She is now over in India.

    Yikes- another one- gossip patrol.

    Nothing of informative educational speech; your speech might work on that am msnbc show you appear on- but not here! Nothing of substance; more of the same just like the past 8 years of neglect – Recession 2009!
    Global Meltdown!! Mean anything to you Ms Noonan? Maybe you can talk and stir things up with the word and meaning of Global – Global Economic Disasters opposed to what you did for the last 8 years?

    Why did you allow this monopoly game from 2000-2008 destroy our country – Ms Noonan?

    Ask the Dept of State if Hillary disappeared! Unless you are talking about when she broke her elbow? One thing that I would keep in mind with your new gossip theme- recall Hillary’s demand from Obama prior to accepting anything?

    Do you recall that Ms Noonan? Speak about that- Are you aware of what happened this week?

    Why did you disappear? Where were you hiding while the Republican Party crippled our country? Speak about yourself and I would not worry about Hillary- she is in India. Hillary has not disappeared.

    And Healthcare Reform will occur.

    Do nothings!
