4. I think some of the recent reports on Hillary Clinton are to create a rift in the democrats.
It seems there is an intent to paint Hillary as big, and doing that paint the blue dogs, or further right democrats bigger. It almost seems to be trying to beef up the conservative democrat coalition that after the primary still supported Hillary for a few weeks. Remember how some were discussing super delegate issues.

It would be interesting to hear what Bill and Hillary Clinton think about the public option. Where they stand on it. If they do not support it, I would be interested in hearing their arguments.


It seems this is a continuation of trying to make it look like a split in the Democrats over health care. And also the way the articles I have read lately are phrasing it they are really speaking about Hillary as separate from the administration. Of how she is making policy, about what she is doing. It seems they are promoting the same conflict between President Obama and Clinton meme they have tried to use many times.

Again I say this because I have been seeing alot of Hillary articles that have her quoted on foreign policy while not mentioning President Obama. There seems to be some illusion creation in the process. Although I do think Hillary Clinton does a good job as Secretary of State, her policies are part of a bigger administration and it seems the news articles are not phrasing it that way. Since it is a recent trend at least on posts here, it seems to be a PR attempt with another purpose.

Also the repeated comments about her gender seem to be trying to match some meme or comments.
