Hillary Clinton should run for governor of New York. Right now, she is one vote out of one hundred. Obama and his groupies have made her irrelevant. If she wants to stay in Washington and be relevant, she is going to have to undermine him, otherwise she will be a rubber stamp. If she wants to go to Albany, she should keep her head down and be a good little mindless soldier. Other than that, she should avoid Obama like the plague. He hates her and now he can be indifferent to her if she becomes a rubber stamp or he can make her totally irrelevant by making her his flunky as SoS and then firing her.
Clinton can make her mark as governor. Universal health care will never happen on the federal level. Clinton should let Obama and the people in the Senate who disavowed her fail without her. She could use her position as the chief executive of the state of New York to create a universal health care system for the citizens of the state, revolutionize the educational system in New York, to rebuild the broken infrastructure of New York. She should make nice in the Senate if she intends to run for governor so that Obama's Congress does not exact revenge on her by denying New York federal funding for projects. She would have Chuck Schumer's support because he hates that no one cares about him so long as Clinton is the junior senator.
