This is coming up in many rival sites that are suggesting that there is another Hillary vs Barack fight that is brewing. The comments are worse, asking Secretary Clinton to quit immediately! But how true is this charge?

The official story is that Secretary Clinton had a fall and cannot go out often enough. I do not know if she smashed her elbow as some suggest, but the fact is that when a 62-year old lady fall down, it takes time for her bones to heal. So even if Secretary Clinton and President Obama are really fighting, I think she should take a rest after that fall.

I think that this is just right wing propaganda. Are there rough feelings between them? Sure there are. But this is not something that would cause them to be on different paths. Look, President Obama is the President. He is the one that would set the agenda that Secretary Clinton is to carry out. We all know that President Obama, Vice President Biden and Secretary Clinton have different views.

When it comes to policy, I think President Obama was just right in dealing with Iran, too harsh on Honduras and should be tougher on North Korea. Those are my views. But do you think that I would be pulling my hair out, jumping all about if I were the Secretary of State? No. I would do what my boss asks me to. If it crosses my line, I quit!

Unless President Obama’s numbers take a hit, I do not think Secretary Clinton would take that big a gamble. It would be political suicide to walk out of a successful Presidency and drift into political wilderness. I also do not think that President Obama would want her to go as that might anger a lot of her supporters. He won the election in 2008 by getting a lot of her voters to vote for him.

In terms of agendas, I think that they are professional and grown-up enough to work together. They are not immature kids or rookie politicians. They got to where they are today by being good in politics. No poor politician would end up becoming a President or a Secretary. (I know liberals are screaming the name of President Bush, but remember, he beat you guys twice in a row; that is because he was a better politician than Senator Kerry or VP Gore).

At the end of the day, President Obama needs Secretary Clinton and Secretary Clinton needs President Obama. They need each other to succeed and further their political agenda. That is something that neither can run away from.
