Nancy Pelosi said something very interesting in an interview with Schieffer.
Schieffer Asks Pelosi: Is Bill Clinton Working To Undermine Wife's Candidacy
This is my first diary. I've read many diaries and made many comments. However, I've wanted to post a diary, but I don't consider myself to be a good writer. This diary will also be very short, as I don't have much to say right now.
Here is the part of her interview that puzzled me.
Senator Clinton and Barack Obama, we have two great candidates. One of them will be President of the United States. The other one will emerge as a great leader and respected leader in our country. It's fun to talk politics. we all know that. But we have serious work to do to take the country in a new direction.
Bold emphasis mine.
Which one do you think she means will be a President, and which one will be a great leader?
Do you think she is thinking both will be the ticket?
Here is the the transcript.
SCHIEFFER: Let's talk a little politics here. Hillary Clinton's husband is now... has now brought up this whole business about the story that she told about her arrival in Bosnia and about the snipers and all that, he says she's being very unfairly treated. This was something she said late at night. In fact, he has mis-characterized it because she said this on three different occasions. My question is, why would he bring this up again? It seems to me as if it was all dying down, this whole controversy. Now here it is back in the news. Do you think this was a good thing for him to do?
PELOSI: Well, I think you started off the question appropriately. Hillary Clinton's husband. I think Hillary Clinton's husband was being a husband and wanted to be protective of her. To tell you the truth I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about the motivation of comments like that. We're trying to address the subprime crisis, deal with the war in Iraq, have a stimulus package to turn our economy around, deal with global warming issues and the rest. I know it's fun to talk politics but I couldn't possibly tell you the motivation for that remark.
SCHIEFFER: I'll tell you what a lot of people are saying and what's kind of the buzz, it may be....
PELOSI: Tell me because I haven't heard.
SCHIEFFER: Maybe he's trying to undermine her candidacy. Could that be possible?
PELOSI: Maybe it was late at night when he said it and maybe he should be forgiven. What did he say age and time of night? Maybe the same applies to him as he used for Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton and Barack Obama, we have two great candidates. One of them will be President of the United States. The other one will emerge as a great leader and respected leader in our country. It's fun to talk politics. we all know that. But we have serious work to do to take the country in a new direction. I can't for the life of me figure out why the president would have said it except he may have been having a late night adult moment. Let's leave it at that.
