What to do with Hillary?.



Hillary has largely been a pain in the ass to Obama.



There is no doubt about that.



Those are my words; not his. But any astute observer on the scene had to be aware of the mischief making she and her compadres were responsible for leading up to each primary vote.



Hillary and company pushed the race button.



They made it seem that even Jackson could win South Carolina.



That he wouldn't have even got to where he was if he wasn't black.



He was either too black or not black enough; he wasn't experienced or qualified; and he consorted with trouble-makers and traitors to America.



But now, she can claim Obama is an antiSemite or member of the Chicago Seven or that he doesn’t have the experience of John McCain, it doesn’t matter any longer.



And you know why..



Obama got the delegates to put him over the top.



He is the presumptive candidate by delegate count.



Hillary once said she would concede when Obama got to that point.



She didn't even acknowledge it tonight.



So, whether she concedes tonight or not, she is about out of cards.



And that is how a primary is supposed to work; except that you are expected to thank your rival for a good contest and make yourself available as you slip into the night.



That’s not our Hillary.



She’s not ready to concede. She's not even ready to give an inch.



It is as if the world is going on around her.



And she is going to change history.



In the weakness of the moment--when all looked hopeless today-- Hillary admitted during a conference call that she wants the job of VP, or at least that’s what some of her closest confidantes admit.



And she is not going to concede until she has her meeting.



But here is my theory.



Obama is not going to give it to her.



Yes, he will offer it, but part of the deal will be that she refuses it.



The real deal: and this is predicated on something Obama said tonight that Hillary will be there when real health care goes into effect, leads me to believe that he has already found a solution that will sooth everyone’s soul.



Obama will appoint Hillary to a new position: Health Care Czar, a new Cabinet level post where Hillary will become focused on turning her health care initiatives into law.



This will relieve Obama from having to deal with a co-president and that co-president’s husband who always has to put his two cents in.....



And it will make Hillary happy!



At least, based upon the clues I heard in Obama’s speech tonight, that’s my take on what is going to happen with Hillary in an Obama administration.



Remember: you heard it first here!
