It is no secret I had hoped Hillary would have become the president. I like Obama, but thought and still do that Hillary might have been the one to cut through a lot crap and get things done quicker than Obama seems to be able to do...
That being said, I am glad the 12 months have put some distance between Clinton and the election. The woman fought hard and I am glad that as 2009 ends, Hillary is working hard at a difficult job and has moved beyond the election to once again command leadership and respect. (If you hate Clinton I am cool with that, no need to comment, :) just move on to 10)
