Dick Morris: Hillary Clinton Is Throwing Obama Under The Bus For A 2012 Run
On 60 Minutes earlier this week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commented that the American economy is making it more difficult for her to do her job because other nations are telling her that “we always look to you because you have this great economy, and now you’re in the ditch.” Bill O’Reilly saw “a little jab” at the President in those comments, blaming the White House for her job troubles, but guest Dick Morris took that premise a bit further, suggesting the remarks, coupled with her silence on health care reform, were a deliberate attempt to undermine the President building up to 2012.“I think there is a subtle distancing going on, and it began over health care,” Morris noted, pointing out that Clinton was not vocal about supporting health care reform. O’Reilly didn’t quite see the connection, since, after all, the Secretary of State rarely gives opinions on foreign policy, but Morris retorted that “She was doing this when she was First Lady!” and that, given the current potential backlash against Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections, “it’s possible that a grassroots swell comes up” and recruits Clinton to run against Obama in 2012.
O’Reilly, who agreed to some extent with the subtle distancing, added that he believed Clinton still had a very strong desire to be president, and that she may not have the “patience” to wait until 2016.
