I'm not saying it.  It's from Steve Chapman at the Chicago Tribune, in an editorial of the same title.  Who should run in Obama's place?  Why, Hillary Clinton, of course, because "Her husband presided over a boom, she's been busy deposing dictators instead of destroying jobs, and she's never been accused of being a pushover."  Ouch.

Excuse me while I savor the decadent buttery deliciousness of this editorial out of Chicago.  Yum.

Doncha' just love how Hillary gets easy credit for the Arab Spring?  If it gets any richer, I may vomit!

Getting credit for Arab Spring is like getting the award for sickest guy in the hospital . 

The only good thing so far is the loss of Gaddafi. And that may not have been the worst case scenario for Libya. 

In Hillary's world , losing allies like Egypt ,Tunisia, and Jordan will be seen as a success by those tools in the media and the entire european brain forgery.

Well, yeah, normal people, aka non-leftists, know better than to tout the Arab Spring as an achievement toward democratization of the ME.  That's why I think it's so funny Chapman gives Hillary credit for "deposing dictators."  It evokes a mental image of Hillary wearing a lopsided bike helmet riding around in the desert sands with just her head sticking out of a tank turret, like a bobble-head.  Wait... wrong Democrat.

I'm guessing Hillary had less to do with deposing ME dictators than Obama did with Navy Seals killing bin Laden.  But if Democrats think it helps her to credit her with it, that's fine by me!

Democracy only works when it follows liberty. What is happening in the Arab Spring will be to the detriment of liberty for very many people. Kind of like what happened here when Obama was democratically elected.

The Arab Spring will go down in history as one group of blood-soaked thugs getting replaced with a fresh batch.

An honest man in his position would probably withdraw for the good of his party. But Obama will probably be exploring ways to win that don't rely so much on popularity.

Will be quite interesting to see how everyone backs away from the Arab Spring in a few years.

 Simply, Obama will not step down from the throne. And sadly, Hillary would be a last gasp effort.  Doubt the Demorcats could pass off a retread as something new worthy of full support.

Obama apparently believes his rhetorical skill will be enough to save his presidency.  One of the characteristics of a pathological narcissist is that they expect others to believe their lies no matter how audacious.  But that shine wore off a long time ago.  When he finally figures out that he's been rejected, he'll react like a wounded child.  He'll conclude that America is unworthy of him.  Disloyalty by the Democrat party we'll get them thrown under the bus.  Then he'll lash out with whatever executive authority he has to punish the rest of us.  The short term prospects for our nation will be grim.  But the end result might see the destruction of the Democratic party and a definitive repudiation of the leftist agenda.

Yeah, and let's not forget what she actually almost accomplished with Honduras a couple of years ago.  That did have her fingerprints all over it, and it was no dictator she was trying to depose.

David Brooks piles on. Here is where he calls himself a "sap" almost as many times as Obama said "fair share" in the Rose Garden Monday.

..they're hheerrreeeee.......
