CNN

since the start of John king state of the union i havent heard anything good from him about this admistration. he's the chief srategist of the taliban party. candy crowley ,wolf the snake pls give me a brake

Hillary has my support and vote in anything she wishes to pursue. What the DNC did to her during the primary was disgusting.

Why is dissension in the Democratic ranks a surprise? The only surprise is that it took this long. Obama needed Hillary on the 'team' to win. Now she's expendable.

I thought the PUMA people went away. Do you seriously think Clinton is being pushed aside. She is in her 60s and shattered her elbow. Please give it a break. If you hate Obama so much please vote for Palin in 2012. The puma people and Palin deserve each other.

Yeah...thank God we got O'bambi.....maybe he can push this nation over the brink with his Health Care Initiative. Payback to Ted....we got a lotta change here....Hillary would have been a leader, not a Follower-in-Chief like we've got.

Never before has a Sec. of State had so little power. Obama is sending different teams to different areas of concern. Now Biden is going to Iraq..I am totally miffed that she is being so dissed. Her talent and intellect is not being used for the mere reason that she would "outshine" the President. Please...we all know the truth. The DNC and fellow politicians threw her under the bus and for heavens sake don't let her have a chance to show SHE not HE would bring peace with other countries. I hope she runs in 2012, I will vote for her again. She wouldn't be flipping on campaign promises they Obama is. I am still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but with his treatment of Hillary, it is obvious, no one can shine except for him. We are not fooled.

If Hillary runs for president, it will be the DEATH of the democratic party. Wait and see. Obama's first huge mistake was to try to unify the party by giving her big mouth a say in the administration. Both her and her fans, I mean supporters are wishy washy satisfied with nothing bunch of holier than thou elitist. As a yellow dog democrat, I will NEVER EVER vote for her.

Axelrod palyed her like a top.

for the formerly smartest woman in the world this admin Axelrod/Emanuel read her hand and played her for a fool.

she really is quite dumb and that alleged political operative she is married to end up with the Haiti assignment.

the clintons have been had and counted OUT.

they made her secretary of state and then farmed out the work to CZARS. just like the russian dynasty, key word in the "NASTY" portion of DY-NASTY.

I thought we knew what we were getting with Hillary and I voted for her in the primary. Obama is way more conservative than most people want to acknowledge to themselves. Which is why he is disappointing . Although we know better, we keep expecting more radical solutions from him, partly because he keeps leading us to expect them, then giving watered down endorsement-like with healthcare reform and gay rights. We could have accepted the same solutions better from Hillary, but the expectations of what Obama is supposed to accomplish are so unrealistic because we forget he is a smart politician, not super human.

I can't believe that there are still people bitter about the election. Time warp to 2009 people and get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McCain needs to be sentenced for infecting us with the pandemic called Palin. I guess she would have resigned as vice president, if McCain had won the ellection, and things did not go her way. Good bye Palin! Good Riddance!

I pray that she will run again in 2012 and that God will give Americans a little bit more brain.

Most of the posts here are idiotic. The woman has a serious injury and that all of a sudden means a conflict between she and Obama. Although politicians often play super heroes on tv, they are not.

hey, the liberals are now in complete contol now. lets step aside and let them show us howits done.

liberals are infamous for blaming everthing on others, it is time to STEP BACK AND LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT. THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS AND FOR SURE THEY HAVE COMPLETE CONTOL.

THE TIME IS NOW YOU GUYS, STEP BACK LIKE PALIN IS DOING, LET THEM HAVE THE CONTROL THEY WANT AND HAVE. THE FREAKING BOAT IS SINKING, WE KNWO THEIR PLAN SUCKS, SO LET IT FAIL................

Why wouldn't Kelly seem grateful to change the subject? Last time I checked, medical records are private. The woman broke her elbow, what CNN/MassMedia do you want to know...how many pills shes taking? How often shes sleeping? What she drinks when she wakes up? Which brand of socks she buys?

Please quit trying to make something out of nothing. When did commentary rumors become news? CIVICS!

The writer of this article may be a journalist, but he obviously has never walked through the State Department's underground parking garage which has long been a hazard to life and limb. Of course, Hillary probably shouldn't have been wearing those spike heels at her age, but she just fell down and got a painful and hard to treat injury. Stop trying to make a cesspool out of a molehill. BTW, CNN, you should fire this writer.

Hugo angry, Hugo see propaganda film coming on TEDDY KENNEDY on HB-BLO. Hugo cancel cable, Hugo no more watch news, Hugo no more listen to all propaganda, liberal bloggers make Hugo very sick to head. Hugo go look for work, maybe job make Hugo feel better in heart.....

Just as soon as she finishes her PT she will be able to go on any trip she deems necessary, give her the time she needs and don't start stupid rumors.

And Obama has been kicked below the belt (frontally) by Colin Powell.

well, SO WHAT???

Trust the "destroy at all cost" brigade to now try to stir trouble in a very successful government team, all other acts of treachery having failed!

CNN is sinking lower and lower with these non-news tittilating stories with no earthly value to anyone.
This is NOT NEWS!

Maybe Hillary will tear up and have another "girls' moment" like she staged with such good effect during the election. We all need a good laugh...

This article reminds me of when CNN a couple of months ago insinuated that there was a rift between Obama and Biden. CNN had no evidence of it, yet the story aired anyway. Of course, there is no rift.

And here we have another story where CNN is insinuating something without an ounce of evidence. What happened to REAL journalism?

CNN is going the way Washington Post, ie becoming a laughing stock.

She is a 60yr old women who broke her elbow to the point that it needed operation. As a Orthopedic surgery resident, it will take her up 10-12 weeks to even be able to have function back in her elbow. Her elbow may never be the same as it was.
Plus, we don't recommend people over 60yrs of age to fly at least 6-8 weeks post up due to lower vascular circulation and increase in pulmonary embolism. HRC is in great shape for her age, and has had great care, but still, there are some factors that cannot be changed.

She is wise to take it easy and receive Physical Therapy, which is about 4-5 times a week.
Everyone need to chill. She is not being pushed aside or sold down the river.

How quick the Washington elite are to jump on an injury. Clinton, by far, is above and beyond anyone who may step in. Give the world a "real" break. It could be worse, she could be back in New York, where the legislature has hi-jacked the government and nothing is being done.

Hillary Clinton wants to be on the Supreme Court. Sotameyer is just a smoke screen to appease the Latinos. You watch, something will derail her nomination and Hillary will take it.

I truly believe that when Bill Clinton met with Obama, Clinton applied some pressure to be sure to give Hillary a high ranking position or he would refuse to campaign for him. The Clintons could both make it tough for Obama. As for Hillary, I believe she is a very good Sec. of State but it is obvious she has some doubts about Obama's decisions. Why is Janet Napalitano going to Pakistan, that should be Hillary's job. Obama needs to be careful and not step on the Clinton's toes.

At least Clinton knows what's she's doing. Biden is clueless.

At least Clinton know what's she's doing. Biden is clueless.

Well, she trusted President NObama. Could it be possible that she did not realize The Chosen One lies trough his teeth. And, it's his way or no way at all! To think HE accused Senator McCain of having a bad temper. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. The love fest between NObama and the media, as well as some of the misguided voters that supported Him is starting to come undone. Hillary, you blew it and now you are starting to see/feel the consequences. NObama just can't be trusted.

To think you helped give him “some” legitimacy! You should have accompanied him to Russia to ensure that he does not give away our country, and most of all, stops apologizing for America’s good deeds around the world.

Stay Tuned!

Hillary Clinton is a star -"no you can't take it away from her."

You people in the media love to create controversy. Hillary is doing a very good job. Nobody can do that better than Hillary. Joe Biden is in Iraq so what? When Cheney went to Yoguslavia no one makes a hoot about replacing Condi. Hillary is recuperating with her elbow and she deserve it.

I was never a fan of HRC, but she's growing on me. I think she's perfect as SOS and I wish her a speedy recovery. There's a lot going on in the world, and I think she is a wonderful representative of our country. At least she knows that Africa is a continent and not a country like that "other woman"...you know...the QUITTER. I would vote for HRC in 2016 for POTUS.

The President is letting Biden go on trips so he doesn't have to listen to his stupid remarks! It would be nice if both of them go on a trip and don't come back for a long time!

It will take more than a broken elbow to stop Hilary Clinton.

I am for Hillary in 2012, should have stuck with her in the primaries. Under Clinton we at least all had jobs.....

Ofcourse Obama is forcing Hillary out. This is what Chicago politicans do. Make the competition join your side then kill them. Al Capone politics 101.
Hillary is also from Ill. and know the rules. Just business as usual for this group. Did you really expect them to help this country? Obama and the clowns in Congress are trying to jam health care reform down our throats. Don't believe them. They are just trying to make them selves rich. Don't believe the "Chosen One", he dosen't tell the truth

Hillary in 2012

Completely expected by CAMP OBAMA....surprised her honeymoon got past the '08 election!!! Not all that bad a person though!

Truth be told, Hillary Clinton is a better speaker for Obama on policies.

Robert Gibbs is a great guy and all, ranks 7.5 out of 10 behind Snow and Perino as press secretary. But for Obama, Hillary Clinton or Ian Kelly just captures the news and the media attention much better.

Napo-mex is in Pakistan,see how easy Hillary is replaced. Why is Napo-mex in Pakistan,we need border security here not there,are we really paying for all these un-necessary trips?Is Napo-mex learning how to rid the country of Taliban?Obama will let them in if we give hm a chance.

I am thinking I may have to agree with a lot of the posters. I think we need to re-evaluate our candidate in 2012. I have not been impressed with Obama, sure he is a great guy, but I am starting to think we are better off with Hillary. So who knows, maybe we'll see a Hillary 2012 ticket! That would be pretty awesome.

Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton is still nursing her broken elbow. People are always going to spin anything to create controversy. For goodness sakes, please give the lady time to heal, OKAY?????

I'm sure this would be a far worse story if President Obama had sent her out with a broken elbow.....he would be doomed for doing something like that..so sometimes you can't ever do the right thing to those who are against you anyway.

I understand that Mrs. Clinton needs intensive therapy on her elbow so that she can use it again. After having lived with someone who fractured his leg bone and required therapy, I don't find it hard to believe that she may need rehab. Why is everyone always no suspicious and negative? Give her and President Obama a break. I think she has been doing a fine job. AND HAVE YOU REPORTERS EVER HEARD OF THE MEDICAL PRIVACY LAWS? HER MEDICAL RECOVERY IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS AT ALL. IF YOU ARE SO CURIOUS, WHY DON'T YOU RELEASE ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN SEE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE FIT TO REPORT THE NEWS.

Folks, Hillary will be nearly as old as McCain in 2012. She's not going to be running for anything.

If a good 3rd party candidate comes along, both parties will bail and support that candidate. The Republicans have their scandals and the Dems have Obama. Both are done.

How's that stimulus check working for you?

Hillary would blow Godzilla for a vote. I'm disabled + if she can't handle the job she can step aside + i'll jump right in. There are plenty of us who would be glad to make her paycheck. Put someone in office who has plenty of money + they have no incentive to do the job at hand. Put someone in who has to work for what they got + they'll do a better job or lose the check. She has no morals or she would have left Bill when he was sniffing that cigar.

I understand that Mrs. Clinton needs intensive therapy on her elbow so that she can use it again. After having lived with someone who fractured his leg bone and required therapy, I don't find it hard to believe that she may need rehab. Why is everyone always no suspicious and negative? Geez! Give her and President Obama a break. I think she has been doing a fine job.

sorry but to me this looks like a story just to ressurect the PUMAs and so far it's doing just that. If Mrs. Clinton felt she was being treated unjust I'm sure she would be the FIRST to come out and say so..she's never been known to hold her tongue before. I pray she gets her elbow healed properly and she will do the job she was chosen to do. This is just trying to add to anti-Obama folks and those of you right wingers KNOW that you can't stand Hillary Clinton but still see a spot to make more hateful comments.

To Charles Keyes:

What exactly is a senior state producer? You call this garbage news?

We are fortunate to have a Prsident that got two great Americans to serve and that either one could do the other's job shows how wise the man in chief is.

I know you want readers but seriously?

All this tit for tat controversy has been started by one reporters loaded question which really makes no sense when you think about it. Hillary has been doing fine even though I used to despise the Clintons because of Bill's policies (I hate to say "I told you so" when looking at the market crash, he was as much to blame as the Bushes) She should not and will not resign and will get back to normal wen she's back to normal, what is so flipping confusing about this? Is this how she has to spend her 4th of July, reading all this gossip while still injured!

This is such a non-issue! Of course, she needs to take it easy with her elbow. As a rehab specialist, I can tell you, she needs to focus on PT and not tell her elbow become a serious problem. Biden is simply on a PR trip as far as I can see. The State Department is her baby, and people need to chill out!

This is the stupidest article I have ever seen-what does her injured elbow have to do with anything ..............

My Daddy always told me to say good things about people who break there elbow. She broke her elbow, Good.

The Obama administation is letting Hillary Clinton have a go at it slowly role at Sec. of State. She's getting her OJT for the responsibilities and duties for the position.

It's not a bad idea since her ideals, voice, and opinions on State, national, and world issues have so much value and the media will hinge on her every word.

So, feeling her way around the intricacies of the State Dept Office and Job is a good thing.

She will be more vocal and visible in the second year of the administration after she has gotten a handle on just how to present Obama vision for America and America's best interest to the media on the national and world stage- which is always looking for news- 24/7.

joe biden i not smart enough to replace hillary clinton anywhere............
it is sad to say when he was chosen as obamas running mate ,I presume he was the token old white guy .......

Hillary took the position as Sec of State because she was weak in foreing policy experience. Or, at least, that was the picture painted durring the campaign. I have no doubt that she discussed her role in the Obama administration before she threw her support behind Obama.
She could be needing help because of her injury. She could actually be in over her head because she really didn't have any foreign experience. Or, there could be some behind the scenes politics going on.
In any case, the Democrats have thier candidate for 2012, and it is not Clilnton. If the Democrats wnat to kepp power, they need to fix some of the country's problems. Maybe if they do, the media will stop this biased crap and treat them more favorably.

Hillary is clearly being pushed aside... Too bad because she could be a great partner to the President – If true, she will not stay silent for long... Come on and put Hillary into the mix !!

No other nes today? This one seems a snoozer.

Being elbowed out of the way couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Hillary and Bill are pretty irrelevant now. I think Bill will be remembered for Monica Lewinsky, Monica Lewinsky, and Monica Lewinsky.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton are not fighting like some fake Democrats want to believe. Clinton is doing a great job as Secretary of State and nobody is treating her as a doormat. Guess some think making baseless lies about Hillary and President Obama will help them divide Democratic Party but its not working.

Stupid pun on an unfortunate accident. Get well soon!

Ms. Clinton is a great American i n the Obama administration. GO DEMS palin is history with the dying gop started by bush/cheney

Paranoid much, CNN? She broke her elbow and needs to recover, give it a rest.

Quite the metaphor "...broken elbow...elbowed aside..." the only, THE ONLY reason Obama offered Clinton the secretary job, was to keep her under his thumb and out of the way during his continual campaign to be re-elected. Wake up, morons.

In the words of a great man, "keep you friends close, your enemies closer". Obama did just that when he appointed Hillary as S.O.S.
She is smarter, more humane, and definitely a tougher cookie than Obama. I supported McCain because there was no Hillary. She won't make it past 2010 because she needs a purpose. This position has be significantly reduced since the days of Rice and Powell. You can sense her sense of diminishment with this assignment.

Broken elbows take months to heal and I imagine even the simplest tasks are tough to perform. Hillary, we love you and are rooting for you even if Obama is wasting your talents.

CNN and Ian Kelly need to grow up and practice real journalism. Does CNN know anything other than setting up controversy and suspicion where none exists? Probably not since the network is busy promoting their powdered, pompous, know-nothing talking heads who are losing credilbilty and ratings by the day!

I love this. You Demos are beginning to realize what a mistake "the One" is.
Now if you would stop fighting the Republicans in Congress and gang up against the "ONE" and Nancy. We could stop this downward trend we are having and give our country and a right back to the people.

mrs. clinton, we dearly love you, please get well soon.....raos of north carolina....

About that fall.
Several prominent Democrats have tripped and fallen lately. I don't recll that any of them have been mocked endlessly by the mainstream media for not being able to walk and chew gum! Oh wait........ they only do that to Republicans. Sorry about that President Ford.

Reading the posts really depresses me – there is that many stupid people in the world.

Why do you takes sides when they are no different from each other. How is Clinton different from Obama? Or how is either different from McCain?

You are a fool if you have not noticed by now that electing a dem or a repub makes very little difference.

Fire them all and lets start over – it's time for another revolution.

Like it's a hard job... Clinton under Obama's lead has really not done anything novel. They are following Bush Jr.'s policies almost to the letter. Bush Jr. was the one who set the Iraqi withdrawal deadline, they're just following through. Bush Jr. was the one who ineptly took a hands-off approach to NK. They are just following in those footsteps. Bush Jr. was the one who laid out th road to middle east peace, including the removal of illegal Israeli sttlements and the two-state solutions. Obama and Hillary have not changed that one bit. The job is easy if you just keep doing what others started for you.

Oh !!! Haters. You just can't stop hating and reading meanings where they do not exist.
Obviously your hero Rush Limbugh the master of spin and miseducation has been doing a great job.

And this is clearly news.

Clinton will be the President soon.

Obama is just, oh never mind, don't want to be negative.

I sure wish Hillary Clinton was the president!!

Hillary is the best... She is helping to make Obama look good!

Hillary is tough as nails, and can withstand anything Washington (or the republicans) throw at her.
So, stop with the innuendo that she is being pushed aside – go pick on the worthless republicans.

Not only should hillary be elbowed aside, but she should be kicked to the curb ! She is old and tired and we are sick of even seeing her .

Obama's subtleness and obvious lessons learned, Chicago style, should serve him well in Russia where his conquest and desolation of the US are greatly admired and he is held in the highest esteem.

big surprise....obama makes hillary sec. of state and then pushes her aside. what a way to get rid of her....should people be surprised at this? if she were smart she would resign and then go after him politically.....she would then have a better chance of the 2012 presidency. obama better watch out....the clintons are shreud politicians and you just watch what will happen!

The premise of this article is really stupid. She broke her elbow and is now being elbowed aside? Was this written by a fourth grader?

Hillary 2012 ! you like it or not, so it BE ! Obama wrong candidate

Let's see – the dnc sold her down the river in the campaign, bo sold her down the river for vp, and now in true chicago criminal politics he takes this job away from her in bits & pieces.

This reminds me of a comedy bit done by Dave Chappelle about watching MTV after the 911 attacks and the VJ having JaRule on the phone and asking him about what he thinks about the attacks....

....WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT JARULE, IAN KELLY, FOX NEWS, OR CNN THINKS.

Hillary was my candidate but I voted for Obama in the general. If Obama thinks he can mess with HRC, he should think it over. Obama is popular today becuase of the idea that HRC is part of the team. Biden could not draw a crowd this week when he was in erire, PA. I know my Hillary, she knows what she is doing. I bet you we can see her resigned before this year, and this administration will be just for one term. The last ingredient Obama wants to mess with is to step on the toes of HRC.

I love it when people, who are even somewhat smart, think they can figure things out, things like Propositions that we vote on.

Here is a little clue,
those props are written by lawyers with loopholes and since voting NO is just not practical because there are actual Props that might help out, the best way is to look at who is for it and who is against it.

I don't mean endorsements, I mean look at the little print during the commercial "paid by...."

People don't pay attention to that, that is how we let a bunch of white religious freaks from Utah, influence a African American community in California (Prop 8).

I've been saying for months now that the brilliance of the Secretary of State appointment of Hilary Clinton was done with the intent to marginalize or dis-empower President Obama's greatest opposing force within the Democrat party. He cajoled her into a job where she is forced to tout the Administration's foreign policy whether she likes it, supports it, or not. I would prefer to see her resignation today rather than Sarah Palin's. Love Clinton or not, she can be a force when unshackled. We need such forces now. Desperately.

This can't possibly be a serious question ...

Must be a real slow news day for Charley Keyes at CNN ...

Maybe started celebrating the 4th of July a little early Charley?

A few to many beers for lunch?

The Clintons are the reason I am no longer a member of the Democratic party, but I would join back up if we could have a do over of the 09' election. I don't believe we would have half the economic problems we are having if Hillary had been elected, she and Nancy Pelosi would've had a cat fight and the "Spend-use-less Bill" would have never been passed. The Clintons' may be some of the most corrupt politicians in DC but they definetley understand Economics 101, a class that Mr. Obama obviously never attended.

Oh MY God,

There is still one of you out there, I know it's just one because you are just posting under different names. Youknow what I'm talking about, we should have elected Hillary instead of Obama. Give it up please.

Leah, I love that name.

NObody elbows Hillary. Give the woman time to heal, for pete's sake. You'd give a man the time.

Get off it CNN. You're just trying to stir up trouble.

We elected the wrong democrat. Hillary is by far the more able for the job.
Hillary in '12.

Not to change the subject or anything, bu my Lakers traded Ariza for Artest. Now I HAVE to get closer seats at the Staples Center. Just in case the crazy man goes crazy and there is a fight.

...just a thought.

Oh yes, Hillary Rulz...

Hillary is better than this puppet show......Clinton/.2012

Good grief! Aren't there enough real stories to go around. Biden is doing what VPs usually do..make trips and speeches. Hillary had a fairly serious injury for someone of her age (same as mine). It takes a bit to bounce back. She had done a good job and will continue to do so. Give it a chance. I am very sick of the 2012 election being run in 2009!

I bet John King of CNN was hoping Hillary was being pushed aside so that his beloved Republican party could score points with women.

John King, please move over to your real station Fraud News (aka Fox News).

Rev Wright u deserved it though Hillary would not

This entire dialogue is pretty silly.

Well said, Joe!! A blog should allow for room to discuss, learn and express an educated opinion.

CNN's speculations, exaggerations and carefully cherrypicked quotes give rise to haetful, uniformed rantings by the same people day in and day out who I suspect are posting under a number of different names.

Everyone in the new administration has enough work. Clinton needs to have her injury heal properly or she may have problems with it for the rest of her life. She doesn't have to be on the road to work and I'm sure she's doing a fine job.

Remember Lyndon Johnson said, it is better to keep your enemies within the tent to "yellow rain" outward than to have them raining inward on your parade. The Clintons are done, the liberal left has spoken! Besides watching Joe Biden handle this should provide some pretty entertaining relief from the everyday Bozama show we are currently living.

Clinton/2012

She has done a great job as Sec of State, if only our President would listen to her!!!!!!

She is a nice person, Get ready to be thrown under the bus....like me?

This is a complete non story, with an attempt to make it a story by an sensationalist interviewer. Mrs. Clinton isn't physically up to the trip – so what? As the nation's top diplomat, she also doesn't have to be hands on in every arena – having Biden oversee Iraq doesn't' mean she is being sidelined.

why?

go to democracy dot com.

go read global research.

Secretary Clinton is doing a great job. She has opened more doors in the Mid East than the last administration did in eight years. She has only been in the job for six months, to expect major breakthroughs that quickly is not realistic. She is a real pro and will be a great Secretary of State.

Hillary took the job in good faith and looky here what Obama is now openly doing to her....we, the 18 million supporters of Hillary Clinton will remember this "Obama" come 2012...you are a one term Prez..!!

See now you bring up Powell again. All comments are closed but you never stop talking. Jack meahnt no more to Powell, than did Barack Obama. Tehy aree all Black... Powell building his own ego.

Black CNN talking their same old crap. "Black in America"... How stupid.

It's been obvious for months that she has little or no power......

Why? Because Obama is pushing her aside........

Can anyone name one important thing she has done as Sec. of State?

When you throw a lot of elbows, you sure need them to stay strong!

Hillary will be more than elbowed aside. Could have predicted this. One way to neutralize your opponents is to have them work for you. Never could understand why Hillary would want to be SOS rather than US Senator. BHO can effectively end her political career, and probably will.

bump her, dump her, throw her in the dumpster. hillary's finished!!!

I don't believe that the Secretary of State needs to be bogged down overseeing things in Iraq. After all her responsibility is the world, not just one country. Give her and the President a break.

Good Lord, folks. The woman BROKE her elbow. She needs to undergo serious physical therapy. NOT EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL INTRIQUE. Get a life!

Wow! Nice comments... Still a lot of crazy cat "ladies" out there. No education, no family, no life... Pathetic.

She was probably drunk and fell to the concrete. I'm just glad she wasn't president when it happened, it would be covered like Michael Jackson.

You elbow a Clinton, you will finda boot in your a*s

Casandra, Obama should not have picked people not capable. Course it takes one to know one.

Revelation

I am here to reveal that Governor Palin is being investigated for something out of ordinary. She was caught doing something that when revealed, will be a deception for most of her supporters. If she keeps her job the scandal will affect the Republican more deeper. Since, she will be forced out of office.

So, for the sake of the party she is stepping down. But the investigation will go forward. In three months the media will have a huge story to sell.

Can't you read her face during the announcement?
Can't you see the deception on her speech?
Why you think she doesn't attack President Obama or the Democrats during the announcement?

She is done folks.

Wait and see.

CNN is getting to be as bad as Fox News, and that's pretty bad. How about just reporting the news instead of inventing it?

This is news? Clinton appears to have a very busy schedule. Biden was selected for his foreign affairs expertise, it would be natural for him to spend some time in Iraq. Not everything is a scandal

why does the media like to start rumors and issues that are not there??

here is to an early and speedy recover, Hillary.

And Joe Biden, you do not have 1/10 the brilliance, skill or votes that Hillary has.
So shut up and just go back to being the warm bucket of spit that you have signed up to be.

I never thought I would say this about Clinton, but she is wanting to take a stronger stance against Iran and North Korea than Obama (who I did vote for by the way). Even the European Union said Obama was being weak in foreign matters and they don't stand for anything anymore. That says a lot and raises my concerns about Obama considerably...

So, yes... She is going to be elbowed aside and more of a "YES, Mr. Obama" man or woman will take her place.

Hilliary in 2012!!!

Lets be honest here, Hillary as Secretary of State is totally put on the sidelines, she's a flower vase in Obama administration must be put in check. The appointment of Hillary as SOS is to stop her ambition to run for 2012 as President, Obama KNEW Hillary can beat her. Only reason Obama became President, coz Hillary campaigned FOR HIM. If hillary and Bill Clinton did NOT campaign for Obambi, McCain is OUR President today. But idiot population voted for American Idol, they want hope and change; their hope now becomes HOPELESS, their change become NO MORE CHANGE in their pocket. They are flat broke, jobless, homeless and ON WELFARE. They have Obambi and the DEMOCRAPS to thank for!

Ttbala:

I see the truth still hurts you. Best grow up a little and stop waiting for the fool you elected to take care of you. News flash for you, He lied and he won't.

Wake up! Obama put her in a box with her selection to Sec of State...she could not say no and this was textbook Chicago politics. She will leave (like Colin) and will be around again to take a shot at the WH. Obamo is a friggin joke...

How do you like your change now?

barry screws up Iran and can't decide what to do - and what does CNN do? Same old same old. Attack Hillary Clinton. You are pathetic. And what exactly is barry doing while the UK embassy staffers are locked up? Having a sleepover with 20 little girls.

I know you won't post this but I feel better. Happy 4th.

elbowed aside is a prejorative the press made up. yes, sidelined, like any loyal player not at 100% . hopefully will have an opportunity to return.

Guess Hillary can't appease and surrender fast enough for O-Blame-a.

Just because the news chooses not to cover her unless they can make it to some kind of scandal doesn't mean she isn't doing anything. She had been to meetings and welcomed a few foreign leaders since her surgery. You wil have to investigate online yourself and see everything she has been up to, the news only loves Obama and scandels.

@ Cassandra Washing ton:

You are really living up to your name – the bringer of trouble. You seem to be a very unhappy woman and I feel sorry for you. Can't you at least try to be a bit more positive?

hey jenb@4:05pm–I dare you to offer any solid proof that Obama is a Marxist,...better yet, I dare you to even define the term, and you better not look it up either. Tell me exactly how his policies are proof of marxism..?

The fact that Ms Clinton's role is scaled back is only proof of how big a job that everybody in the top tiers of the admin has. Look at all the times that Holbrooke, Mitchell & even SOS Clinton herself has traveled back & forth to all corners of the globe. With news breaking & situations changing everyday, you need a strong flexible accessable team that can respond anywhere at a moments notice. Just look at all the recent political changes in recent history: Cuba willing to talk, Iran–pre election–willing to negociate, DPRK fires missiles, Iraq war winding down, Afghanistan offensive about to start..., coup in Honduras...not to mention all the little hotspots around the globe. Do you honestly think SOS Clinton can be in all places at once. Obama was left a messed up situation with practically every gvnmt in the world..you need strong people in all corners ready to carry out the U.S. objectives. I think Clinton is doing just fine. If she does resign, it won't be because she doesn't have enough work to do–or isn't in the spotlight.

@ Steve Lyons.

You should be ashamed of yourself putting out comments like that, maybe you should go on life support and stay there before wishing that on anybody, before you make any comments about democrates, just think about the past 8 years of your republican partyis stupidity.

O God, stop with Hillary vs Obama nonsense, lets focus on America! People the elections over, move the heck on!

CNN, stop this nonsense. She is temporarily sidelined by her injury, just as anyone would be – Republican, Democrat, man or woman. She is the most capable, shrewd, experienced, qualified person for the position and President Obama knows that better than anybody.

@ Jen B

Would you please go and educate yourself first then come and make comments, you don't know the first thing about being marxist, otherwise you would keep your thoughts to yourself and not make yourself a laughingstock,

Hillary get well soon we are praying for you.

@Jen B. If I were you, I would look up the definition of Marxist. You are the best of example of why education reform is needed. Ignorance is what will bring nation down.

People please get over it, Obama won so please stop with this incessant promotion of Obama vs. Clinton. You sound like a bunch of bitter scorned women who were left at the alter....or dumped by your hish school sweetheart.....you have the same tired old petty comments....get over it she obviously has...

@ "Lee C"
What has Secretary Clinton been doing??? She's set a record for distance traveled by SOS for the time since taking the post, criss-crossing the earth and making amends for the appalling policy choices of the previous 8 years. She has the respect of everyday people and top-level officials from Ireland to China. Get a life, and give a gifted person who has CHANGED the face of human and women's rights around the world the credit they deserve.

Ever here of HIPPA Laws. Hillary is not going anywhere? She is injured folks, just injured, no reason to start major issue.

Okay how many people (working people) ever been injured and had to recooperate before returning to work? Where is the story here?

Spreading rumors CNN? The last time I saw the Madam Secretary she looked like she needed time to recoup. She hit the ground running when she became our Secretary of State. VP Biden just wanted to visit our troups and get a little settleing done in the local government.

Run out of stories about Michael Jackson?? This is just so-o-o lame to even put in print. Summer interns writing for CNN? Give us a break!

The best thing for the US right now would be for a number of additional democrats to fall ill and remain on life support for the duration of their terms unable to vote. GOD do we ned gridlock again.

I think Obama sent Biden to Iraq to get him out of the country while Obama is on his trip to Russia and his visit with the Dope Pope ... Biden can't be trusted to keep his trap shut.

Hillary has more sense than all the rest of the Dems including BO. Too bad BO is such a naive, narcissistic ego-maniac.

As an independent, I would have voted for Hillary.

But I predict that 2012 will bring authentic change!

Obama brought Hillary C in as he was scared of her in 2012 – that won't work as she will be gone by end of next yr as she will be fed up.
However, the American people will be sick of Obama by 2011 and I predict matters will reach a boiling point by end of 2010. He's a Marxist and his Prof in Univ of Illinois who he worked with in Illinois said "Barak was the most Marxist thinking person he ever met".
Obama truly belong in another Country.

Sandy "I love Obama" Crowly. Her bias is so obvous...

hey, give her slack. no need to start intrigue just to make "news".

Whoops, I thought I'd come for a news site, not random gossip meant to sate the appetites of CNN's rapid McVeigh-esque commenters.

Maybe Bill boned her to much............

Hillary get well. Take your time to heal. When you heal, you can come out "swinging" again. Let the boy's handle it for a while.

Give Hillary a break. I shattered my elbow a few years ago and it is a major surgery w/ many months of P.T. Elbows are tricky. She will be fine, but those of you who have broken an elbow know it is no piece of cake. The focus neeeds to be on her recovery before she is back in the game...and she will be.

I am glad to see that other people have noticed the "Do Nothing" policy of Sec Hillary Clinton. What does she do each day? There are problems all over the world, yet we hear nothing from Hillary. President Obama has talken over most of her job. Now you see Joe Biden filling in. Hillary is showing her true lazy personality, and I thank God she didn't become President. President Obama made a big mistake selecting her. I think she should resign.

Ditto to John Foster Dulles.

Hillary get well soon...We need you out there. All the men in office are behaving like a bunch of teenagers in heat or making sure they go out on lavish dates. As usual little boys were given the job a woman rightfully earned.

How about give it a rest news media? Hillary needs some recuperating time so why are you reading too much into this? Not news...let Obama, Biden and Hillary do their work...I think they know more than the media.

can't see how a broken, fractured, elbow would keep anyone down from doing a white collar job such as sot. realize hillary is up there in age and that there might be some complications but not returning to her position as sot full time, something wrong here. could be she is just a wuss but kind of doubt it.

Bones break, give her one.

I find it very interesting that Hillary, as Sec. of State, has said VERY little about the Iran elections and NK's missile launches. I guess she taking her directives from the president.

PS she gave a breifing on wednesday on Iraq also, people would know that if the media could get their heads out of Obama's butt for a few days and report on other politicans but no you have to be envolved in a scandel to get any kind of press.

People need to step off. The only time the press wants to cover something is when they want to create controversy. If Obama wants Biden to over see Iraq policy well that's his bad. Why don't they ask about Eric holder missing a trip to aspen for his chipped tooth

CNN Post.

Smells fishy to me. Hillary appears to make more decisive decisions on our National Security than Obama. He probably got upset that she advised him to be more stern on Iran and it took him several days to do it and then never gave her any credit for it. I sure wish things had been different for Hillary. She once again is being put under the bus along with others by the Chosen One and his gang of Thugs.
May God Have Mercy on Us!

Please! Certainly she's still in some pain and concerned about being 100% before she resumes a full schedule. Biden takes trips and goes to events at the President's request. The Secretary of State runs our foreign policy in concert with directives from the President. Take a civics class.
