She's obviously trying to lay the groundwork for more excuses...but once the White House goes Democrat, she's fresh out of scapegoats. I hope Obama slams the crap out of her the minute she says something stupid or unproductive once he's behind the big chair... I hope...but I'm skeptical. I think it would be good for him to do something like that though.

Her grandstanding days are nearan end
