Madame Secretary Clinton,
It's time for you to save your party -- and your country -- from Barack Obama.
You have been doing a remarkable job as Secretary of State, but now we need you as the new head of the Democratic Party ... and as our next President of the United States.
I know that it would be virtually unprecedented for a party nomination to be handed to a challenger over an incumbent, but it was unprecedented in 2008 when the party apparatus selected their then preferred candidate over the will and popular vote of the Democratic majority.
You were the rightful candidate then, you are the rightful head of the Democratic Party today, and you would be taking your rightful place as the nominee and president you were meant to become.
Every warning and critique you gave us in regard to Barack Obama has come to fruition. You were correct in every debate, in every political advertisement, and in every interview.
We are where we are today because too many refused to listen to you.
Only Smart Power can save us now, and you are the perfect person to bring us that much needed commodity. Just log into Facebook and you'll see the numerous "Hillary Clinton for 2012" groups springing to new life. A multitude of your supporters are ready to bring about the change that was falsely promised by your opponent in 2008. You got more votes than he did in 2008, and you can get more votes than him again in 2012.
One might warn you that this would only serve to divide the party, leaving the presidency open to takeover by the opposition. Because of your steadfastness during this past primary season, you were given that same warning then, but your party went on to victory all the same.
We tried it their way then. Now, it's time to try it your way.
In the upcoming midterm elections of 2010, your party will pay the price for its lack of vision. There is little to stop that now. Once that happens, more of a balance will be restored, and both your party and your country will be ready to move forward once again -- with you at the helm -- to a truly better future.
Thank you, Madame Secretary. We'll be standing by.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2012
If we divide now, Clinton supporters vs. Obama supporters, then a Republican will win and the Supreme Court will complete it's transformation into a judicial conservative activist platform rather than a collection of judges that can put politics aside and vote on the Constitution. And it will last for the rest of our lives.
The ironic thing is, if Obama had not been such a greedy narcissist and waited for 2016 to run, he may have developed some qualifications for the job before assuming office.
I would strongly suggest that you and your compatriots begin to formulate meaningful campaign strategies for the upcoming elections rather than to rehash 2008 or encourage a non-candidate to run in 2012. Use your enormous skill and ability to push the discourse rather than slam the current occupant because you and the other PUMAs won't let go.
I believe John Lennon said it best, "...He say, I know you, you know me. One thing I can tell you is you've got to be free. Come together right now, over me..."
Obama is an unmitigated failure. As would be expected for the corrupt, unqualified candidate he was.
I never imagined working with people who describe themselves as democrats, independents and/or progressives would be so hard. Resentment, hatred (to be blunt) and revisionist history is not going to move us forward. It would be insincere for me to say "he won, get over it" but when (as Obama said last night) does campaign mode end and the hard work of legislating begin?
I don't believe Obama's efforts at bipartisanship are a failure in leadership, it's a symptom of the dysfunction of the opposition party that refuses to even acknowledge that we have serious problems that the majority of voters want solutions to. Clouding every single debate with countless lies and distortions when we should be hearing the facts debated and seeing problems solved. The GOP has politicized health care reform and now the public seems ready to reward them for it even though they're offering no solutions of their own. This dysfunction will only change when we continue to reject it, election after election.
Obama needs a fresh approach, that much is clear. Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan had similar difficulties in their first year in office and both saw losses at the midterm election but over the long haul they were very successful politically. Abandoning Obama will only empower the other side, this makes no sense.
Madame Secretary Clinton has stated that she will not run again for the office of the President, but we urge her to reconsider, to stand up once again in 2012 to challenge President Obama. Her time has come to seize the one office where she can apply her experience and leadership to secure our Nation's domestic and global prosperity.

If there is some problem with Hillary Clinton, the voters will need to do just what they are doing now and tell them NO DEAL. There is simply no one better qualified to get us out of this mess. Yea, somebody needs to be worried about being saved. Let her have at 'em.
It's 3:00 am, please answer the call because that guy won't.

They also forget, or don't even know about, all the shenanigans that occured during the primary season, or that the Democrats created obstacles to prevent the traditional roll call vote at the 2008 Dem Convention in Denver... or that when the count was stopped, both obama and Clinton had c. 1700 votes each.... in other words, a dead heat TIE; not to mention the buying off of super delegates, those who did not represent the will of the voters of their state ... new jersey comes to mind, corizine... (now dutifully retired by the voters).
Massachusetts was teh wake up call... but the snooze alarms will continue... state by state, until politicians begin to remember who they are supposed to serve.
Hillary in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Will.

Thank you!
It's called waking up.
Thanks for saying what everyone has been thinking.
It is pretty plain that what Americans bought was not as advertised. He just does not pack the gear to turn it around if he could not make something from what he was handed on a platter. He could have done so much good. But he bailed out the Banksters and then tried to sell our health to the highest bidder.
So how would it be different if we had a real President? Would most of the Bankster bucks have gone into education, environment, healthcare and infrastructure for the American People?
Somebody should ask Hillary Clinton.
