Bartle Bull has a harsh but fairly comprehensive takedown of Barack Obama in the new issue of Prospect Magazine, and one that's worth reading in full whether you agree with it not.

But, given that we're only 65 days or so into the Obama administration, this part struck me as just a wee bit premature:

Thus the big question in Democratic circles today: “What does Hillary do about this?” Her supporters still feel that the election was stolen from her. With capital on strike, states rebelling against the president's dependency agenda, the treasury secretary probably soon to be replaced, many top jobs still unfilled, the liberal press anxious and poll numbers plummeting, Hillary Clinton's departure could sink an administration that already feels like a listing ship, leaving her a clear path to the Democratic nomination for 2012.

The big question in Democratic cirlces today is whether Hillary is going to resign to try and damage Obama so she can run in 2012? I seriously doubt it.

Maybe two years from now, if Obama suffers a serious defeat in the 2010 mid-terms, the economy still sucks, and he's looking like Jimmy Carter redux, Clinton might consider it. But not before then.
