No, Obama didn’t win another undeserved award causing the entire nation to separate and bare their teeth like two rival packs of dogs. This time, the news is really good. I’m almost speechless, actually. Until I dug a little bit, that is. Check this headline out:
“Clinton says she won’t run for President again.”
Imagine my disappointment when all the so-called “China View” story had was a quote indicating that she didn’t, in fact, answer the clear yes-or-no question posed to her by Ann Curry. All she said was that she liked being Sec. of State, and would like to retire at some point. This is a woman for whom power is the only thing that has any meaning. Do we really think she’s going to lay off running for the most powerful office in the world just because she’s 70? Puh-lease. I dug some more. Going to a “real” news source, the so-called “Washington Post,” I found the whole exchange. Here’s my paraphrase of it:
Curry: Will you ever run for President? Please pretty pretty please?
Clinton: No.
Curry: No?
Clinton: No and hell no.
Curry: So it’s no, then.
Clinton: No. No. No. This gig I have is really, really cool. I get to do all sorts of stuff without people hating me.
Curry: So you’re ok with all the attention Obama has been getting.
Clinton: (gritting teeth) Oh, sure. He totally deserves that Peace Prize thing, just for showing up to work every day.
Curry: So, it’s no then, to the Presidency? Like, forever?
Clinton: Holy crap.

I don’t know what this means, I’m just glad the bullet of President Clinton II has been officially dodged. And you thought the news was depressing.
