Hillary's Not a Happy Camper - Update: CNN's Cafferty Says Run Hillary Run

Bret Baier was a guest on the The Steve Malzberg Show (audio here) discussing the SOTU speech, Obama's disrespectful attack on the Supreme Court and the genuine fear among Democrats that the administration appears not to understand the clear need to tack to the right.  Breitbart had the following clip from the radio show where Baier reveals behind the scenes Hillary Clinton is unhappy with her treatment by the administration.  Baier and Malzberg discuss growing evidence the Clintons could be planning another run for the presidency.

Hot Air had an interesting post on the Tavis Smiley interview with Hillary that is mentioned in the radio interview with Baier.  Reports from  the Smiley interview indicate Hillary does not intend to serve as Secretary of State for a second Obama term (heaven forbid there is a second term).   Despite the fact Hillary adamantly denies any intention of running for president, Baier thinks there is more going on than Hillary is willing to admit:

She can say that she's not going to run [for president] all she wants, but I do think that there is something there. There is clearly a discontent in the way that she has been treated as Secretary of State. We get that clearly behind the scenes."

I think having read a good bit of Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime, I have a better sense of Hillary Clinton than I did before reading the book.  Hillary would be more likely to skip the run for president and do things she would truly enjoy but if she really saw an opening for her to win, I wouldn't rule out a run.  Much of that would depend on who the apparent front runner would be for the Republicans because I truly believe she wouldn't primary Obama unless she thought she would win.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the interview here for me was not that she might run against Obama, but that she is clearly discontented serving in this administration.  Take Hillary's feelings and add the growing grumbling among Congressional Democrats the White House doesn't get it and you get a picture of an administration that is starting to come apart at the seams.  Some of the grumbling is mentioned in the full audio link above.   The entire portion where Hillary Clinton is discussed is embedded here.  All in all, there is a lot of food for thought in this segment.  It ought to be fascinating to see how quickly Hillary jumps ship.  Does she go before the midterms or after?  I somehow doubt she is going to do the whole four years.



UPDATE: Breitbart now has video of CNN's Jack Cafferty urging Hillary to run:


I have to laugh at Wolf Blitzer's efforts to make sure Cafferty is not interpreted as supporting Hillary over Obama. We already know Cafferty is a partisan but nice try Wolf.
