Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had a knock-down-drag-out fight during the Democratic primaries last year, but Mr. Obama eventually delivered a TKO. Ms. Clinton took defeat graciously and ended up as Secretary of State.
But let's not forget HillaryCare of '93 -- Ms. Clinton's own health care plan that went down in flames. Surely she must be feeling miffed as Mr. Obama is hoping to show the country that he can deliver where she couldn't. Would Hillary take it personally? She could be feeling somewhat like the Russians do as they watch the Americans in Afghanistan and hope Americans don't succeed where Russia failed.
So far she's been relatively quiet about ObamaCare. On July 26 David Gregory asked her about it and she didn't stray too far from the party line.
When CNN asked her about ObamaCare on August 6 she harked back to the days when she was on the front lines catching heat, and she licked her wounds a little bit saying it's different now as more people realize there are fundamental problems with the existing system. She just hopes that whatever they come up with is going to be meaningful enough to make a difference.
She might never come out publicly with anything so crass as an "I told you so," but she may be secretly hoping for that opportunity. In the meantime, Page Six says she's ticked off because her appointments are taking so long, yet Obama's own selections get whisked in with seemingly no vetting whatsoever.
Finally, to the State Department's credit, that student question in the Congo which drew Ms. Clinton's sassy reply didn't get whitewashed out of the transcript, although the annoyance on display in the video seems drained from the dry print. "Wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks?"
