Buyer's remorse is rampant.

the tea party isnt the problem, they are simply a talking point of the ignorant. The problem is obama and his sheeple.
but yes, since hillary actually has a brain she would have been a better president than "never met a golf course I wont play" obama

I really wish Hillary would have won. Not only do I have a fair amount of respect for her (yes she has her problems too, but she's pretty intelligent and more experienced than almost any living president), but with her in the White House comes the only President in the last 30 years to give us a budget surplus.

Unfortunately, even in the very unlikely event she challenges Obama, I can't see her winning.

At least her husband has the best track record of any president in at least 30 years. I'd rather Bill Clinton back at the helm than Marcus Bachmann running things behind the scene.

Hillary may have been one of the best presidents this country has ever known. The reason she did not get the nomination was due to the resistance of putting a woman in office by the souther male evangelicals. They never thought a black would be elected, surprise, surprise. Now this same group is called the tea party and who are openly against blacks, seniors, the disable, and needy children. Never has America been more threatened by an single group as the tea party.

I think she would have stumbled into the same pits that Obama fell into with regards to health care and jobs and bailouts but I don't think she would have made the empty promises he did with Guantanamo and taxes and spending. So there wouldn't have been the big let down factor that Obama has been dealing with. She would have been viewed with more skepticism as a woman and being difficult to deal with so she probably would have made the effort to change those impressions. Maybe she'd have slowly gained in popularity whereas Obama squandered his.
Hillary is who gives Obama his agenda but I think in hindsight she's realized that he's probably a worse salesman than she would have been. I think she regrets letting him have the nomination and its only a matter of time before she cuts him loose as a failure.
