Secretary of State Clinton used every bit of leverage at her dispopsal to force the Obama Adminstration to make a decision on Libya — including a well-timed announcement/shot across the bow yesterday that she won’t serve another term as President Obama’s top State Department official.

As for that 3 AM call – he’d be out in the Rose Garden smoking a Newport and cranky Michelle would pick it up and hang up.
