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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
