President Obama made a secret deal to support Hillary Clinton when she runs for president in 2016, campaign sources say, payback for the support her husband gave him in 2012.
Bill Clinton’s animosity toward Obama is legendary. A year before the last election, he was urging Hillary to challenge the sitting president for the nomination — a move she rejected.
A deal was struck: Clinton would give the key nominating speech at the convention, and a full-throated endorsement of Obama. In exchange, Obama would endorse Hillary Clinton as his successor.
Clinton’s speech was as promised; columnists pointed out the surprising enthusiasm in which he described the president. It also lived up to Obama’s fears, as more people talked about Clinton’s speech in the weeks following than his own.
Source
“I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!”

I was just thinking that Obama endorsing Hillary might not be a good idea. Also, she might not win, I think we are going to see 4-8 years of Republicans in the White House, after 8 years of Democrats I think it will go back the other way more than likely because of economic reasons, not social reasons.edit on 2-6-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)

IMO, the key to the 2016 elections is the Republicans. If they send a qualified candidate that people can relate to, they win. If they send the same ol same ol, Hillary or some other Democrat will be the next President.

I would just like a politician that doesn't want to king. All these promises, trying to get elected, and then, BAM, once they're in, try taking away everyone's freedoms. Is there even someone out there anymore that we can trust???

Why would this be a "secret deal"? I mean... to me, it's pretty obvious that Obama would support Hillary in 2016, if she runs.
This seems like a non-news item, to me. The whole article sounds like hearsay and conjecture... an opinion piece...
OH! I think I see why.

It's easy to label any critic of Obama as a "hater", isn't it.
That way you don't have to spend time defending his actions. All you need to do is "attack" the "haters".
Discuss the issues? Nope.
Defend his programs? Nope.
Throw out accusations and blame like beads at Mardi Gras and it's all good.
Well, please explain how unemployment is going to go down.
Please illustrate how the economy will rebound.
Please show us all how healthcare will get better.
Please show us how Obama did not make secret deals to insure his presidency.
