"If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use the pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time with a tremendous whack." --- Winston Churchill

Obama and Clinton sharing the presidency

Call me a conspiracy theorist, if you like, but I don't see Hillary Clinton coming second in any such arrangement. Obama, being the gentleman that he is, he would probably be pressured by the establishment to accept second in line, for the Democratic Party's sake.

Stuffs happen, you know. Obama, may find himself before his turn to assume the presidency, in some scandal, completely not of his making, but enough to make him politically in viable, at least in the court of public opinion, consequently voiding such arrangement and keeping Hillary on for the whole term.

I know America is not Kenya, but this is eerily similar to the ill-fated power sharing proposition, arranged under the infamous "Memorandum of Understanding" between Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga of Kenya (Obama's paternal ancestral homeland), which was reneged on by Mwai Kibaki and plunged Kenya into a brutal political unrest that lead to neighbors killing neighbors and the once "stable and prosperous" country, a rarity in Africa, almost went up in flames, so to speak.
