“I am not running for President of the United States” …where have we heard that before? When asked whether or not she was planning to run for President in 2010 against the incumbent Barack Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that she has no interest in doing so. This is a pseudo-event because of who is involved if it were any other Democratic politician who wasn’t Clinton it wouldn’t be an issue and definitely not something that would have come up on cnn.com. This is a pseudo-event because it doesn’t matter we all know that no Democrat is going to announce that they are going to run against President Obama until 2011 is half-over and the election run is going to be in full force before anyone rises to oppose him and the only reason Hillary is asked is because she’s viewed as Obama’s greatest threat. She’s the Secretary of State she’s the only challenger he has that could win and for that reason this is an event this isn’t important and it is vaguely speculation. Personally I hope she does run because it would make me happy to see someone challenge Obama because it appears Sarah Palin is going to be the Republican’s #1 Contender as it were…good lord.
