…the larger point is that we truly have a leader who keeps doing the wise thing on policy (assuming you agree with him) but the dumb thing on politics.
Politicians often like to brag about how they aren’t really political animals but public servants. It’s almost a political cliche, to accompany a craven decision with the statement: “I’m not doing this to win votes, but because it’s the right thing to do.”
But Obama is different. He truly doesn’t seem to relish politics, in the raw, mix-it-up sense. Most of all, he isn’t needy for public attention in the way our most neurotic and gifted politicians have been — walking outpatients such as Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson or Bill Clinton. He doesn’t like red-hot; he likes cool and deliberative.
[...]
Maybe Obama, the anti-politician, really doesn’t care if he gets reelected, so long as he’s doing what he thinks is right. Somehow, I can’t imagine this breakthrough president stepping aside to write law-review articles. But to stand a chance in 2012, he’s going to need someone to light a fire under him, someone who can play politics fiercely — and also can bring in some new voters.
Surely it’s obvious that I am describing Obama’s second-term masterstroke: Vice President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hillary! Jeez, where have you been? She represents corruption. She sold her soul during the Monica issue to run for President, then the Whitewater, etc., lies during the primaries, and you suggest she be VP? It could be a good political move, but not good for this country! He might win with that ballot, but jeez, can’t we just find a decent human being to take the roll of VP?
Well, I voted for Hillary twice – first in the primary, then again when he didn’t tap her for VP in the general – soooo…
Also, @PerryE, for the sake of accuracy, he didn’t suggest Hillary should be VP; David Ignatius suggested it, Mario just asked what we thought. Also also, you’re wrong.
It may be more likely to set up a 12 year Democratic term in the WH, but Biden has been really good in his VP role; as has been Mrs. Clinton in her service to our country as secretary of state. @Perry: Hillary Clinton is a great American and a great politician. We’ll be lucky to have someone w/ her experience and temper at the wheel.

You may be on to something there, Mario.

Either way, it’s sweet music to my ears.
