Now. Democrats love her, a lot of republicans like her. Shes not running for anything, certainly not now. Shes retiring from a tough job. People agree shes done a pretty darn good job, and yet shes getting hauled over the firing squad. Dont we want any more dont people anymore wait a bit before they start to say ready, aim fire . Dont we give a person, even an important person, a little timeout before we start the attack, loose the dogs, start ripping at the skin . I know politics. I dont know this politics. Obamas the president. He will be for four years. Hes the guy who will make the calls politically until 2016. Is this about just attacking democrats . Is this about trying to convince her, mrs.
