The important thing is keeping republican incompetence away from the White House for as long as possible...
What a slanted and uneducated response!!!!
Now to answer the question: in my opinion and that is all it is, an opinion: I think she will be closer to Obama, but Hillary will always be her own person. Like her or not, she does what she wants and isn't about to listen to any X president.
You are so right. Republicans are not incompetent at all. They just work for the wrong people. Keeping them out of the White House thus ensuring divided government is an important goal.

and who the democrats work for? the "right" people?.....LOL
nobody knows what a Hillary presidency will bring....she doesn't take a stance unless she takes a poll......she was for the war then she was against it, she was for DOMA and then she was against it.
This witch is a joke......and how can the democrats with a straight face say under Hillary they are the party of women when she is still married to the sexual predator/rapist that is in the same ball park as Bill Cosby.
Can anybody list Hillary's accomplishments apart of being the "victim" of a cheating husband and everybody feeling sorry for her (some not all) ?....anything she did while first lady of Arkansas, the W.H.. senator or secretary of state?

Okay, you're flaunting your opinion like it's gold, then you turn around and disrespect the other poster's opinion? There's at least a little truth in both responses...
If Hillary wins in 2016, will people interpret her victory and subsequent presidency as a Clinton thrid term or an Obama third term? I am curious to read people's opinions on this.
I personally believe that different Democrats will interpret the victory differently. The ever shrinking center-left Clinton wing of the party will see the victory as a Clinton third term, and obviously the Clintons themselves will see this as justification for continuing their agenda. However, the now dominant extreme-left Obama/Warren wing of the party will shout that Hillary's victory represents an Obama third term. They will demand that Hillary redistribute the wealth, cozy up to Al Sharpton and his racist agenda, and be soft on terrorism. If Hillary chooses not to do this (a likely possibilty), the phony unity that we now see in the Democratic Party will totally collapse.
In fact, one guaranteed outcome of the 2016 election is that--win or lose--the sickening, phony love affair between the Clintons and Obamas (and their respective wings) will come to an end. If Hillary loses, each side will bitterly blame the other for the defeat. And should Hillary become president, the hatred that manifested itself during the 2008 primary will play out for four entire years, almost certainly guaranteeing a GOP landslide in 2020 (because "demographics" and the "blue wall," which give the party a huge advantage in presidential elections, are only applicable when the Democrats are united).
If Hillary wins it will be a George W. Bush fifth term.
The election will be nobody's 3rd term, no matter who wins.
Hillary will be her own President, just as all Presidents are once in office. Every Presidency is different.
Just like every other President ever elected, some of her campaign promises will never be fulfilled, others accomplished, and still others accomplished, but not in the way she envisioned them originally. That's the way it has been with all the other Presidents, too.
If she is elected, it will be 16 years since her husband served his last day in office.
The nation and the world has changed, and is very far away from what it was in 2000. Bill will most certainly not get in the way of her Presidency; electing Hillary Clinton would be another singular landmark in our history, and he knows that.
Bill may advise her or not; there is no way of knowing now what he would do or what roll he might take. Barack will leave her alone unless she asks for his advice, then he will give it. Who knows? She may ask Bush for his advice. She could also ask any former cabinet members for their advice as well. And former Congressmen. It happens all the time.
Obama, once retired, is going to do what all former Presidents do. He's going to take some time off, then begin writing his memoirs or something. All Presidents know what the job is, or was in their day, and none have ever tried to run the show after they're gone.
What Hillary would do if elected is up to her alone. if Obama has some agenda that wasn't finished, she may or may not try to finish it.
Obama took the reins of the financial collapse from Bush because it was of vital importance to the nation, and used what Bush had started, adding to it as the situation developed.
Truman took over the national leadership of WWII when Roosevelt died because it was of vital importance to the nation. He left Roosevelt's cabinet intact until the war was over, even though more than half of the cabinet disliked and ridiculed him previously. Because it was vitally important to win the war.
That's how they all are. If there is some huge thing Hillary must take over, she will do it. If not, then she will run her own term as she sees fit.
Don't expect otherwise. Our history is full of sudden changes of direction, new priorities, old items that are resurrected, and entirely new challenges in every Presidential term. No term ever begins or ends the way the winner plans before taking office. No President ever is what he was before he was elected. The demands of the office change them all.
It will be a Clinton third term. Hillary, like Bill, is a moderate. When it comes to them, the Blight ... er Right, always attacks their character because their policies are so middle of the road mainstream.
