Thanks Spunky! I enjoyed your gif as much as you enjoyed mine, lol.

The campaign initially planned a Friday event, but rescheduled it to Saturday in a second statement, in order "to accomodate accommodate more of Senator Clinton's supporters who want to attend."

That's okay Ben, I don't mind helping you out.

Looks great potlatch!

I believe you understand what I'm trying to say. I used to fill an information warfare role courtesy of DoD. Nothing in that environment was "as it seemed". We analyzed actions based on desired results, not the actions themselves. It's a very strange way of thinking. We worked a job which was a DRU (Direct Reporting Unit) to Air Staff during Clinton's reign, and it was a short hop from Chief's of Staff, down to my little "box". The information exchange was quick, and reasonably precise.

The Clinton's are nastier than anybody could imagine. A few here who might have similar knowledge will understand what I'm talking about. But most people can't fathom the types of things they'll do in order to succeed in power. It's simply not within the normal realm of the imagination. If I were to explain any of the possibilities here, people would simply dismiss me as a nut job. But just imagine going very, VERY far outside the boundaries of the "rules" in what we think of as normal behavior and that's where the Clinton's operate.

She could very well be "finished"...ready to call it quits. But knowing what I know from around the time when her "boy" was busy desecrating the Oval Office and ignoring rather "important" things as the CINC, I rather doubt it.

Thank you devolve.

Nah...Friday is the 40th anniversary of RFK’s demise, which she goofily brought up during the race a few days ago.

She can’t hold a big event on that day.

[kallisti]

No, she ain’t done at all.
Scenarios evoked are disturbing. The international intersections widen the range of resources. No matter what the cost.

[hiredhand]

Now see. You bring up an interesting "concept" of how to think about this statement. Hillary made a statement with respect to RFK and Obama, and of course everybody hooked into it and "said" that it could be construed as Hillary implying that Obama was going to be assassinated.

The conclusion to this is NOT to think that Hillary would have him killed. This "should" be logical because that's the way that everybody was steered by the news. It was the "desired outcome". Everybody assumed that Hillary would have him assassinated. But this is akin to burning down the local firehouse. ...and why does one burn down the local firehouse? Why, to rob the fire chief's home and kill his family while he's gone of course!

So look away from the direction that everybody's head is turned by the statement that Hillary made about RFK with respect to Obama.

Now...let's play "chess" with it. Let's play it through. Consider that Obama gets his chest blown out around the time that Hillary said he would...give or take 30 days or so. Can you see her after this? Can you picture her rolling her eyes and announcing just how stupid it would be for her to make the RFK statement to start with if she was behind an assassination?

HUMINT (human intelligence) analysis is insane, only because people are INSANE! I didn't do a lot of it. But I had a Captain who would drag me kicking and screaming into it, so I learned "enough".

My humble opinion is that Hillary's RFK comment is the "perfect out". Of course there's NO WAY that she could have meant it! Right?

The Clintons are a dark, vicious, and brutal family. They'll stop at very little and stoop into the depths of hell in order to get more power.

The question isn't "What will they do to gain power?", but rather "What won't they do to gain power?!"

At this point, nothing that happens will surprise me.

Love your profile page. We have the same taste in music and I have a Yorki also.

Thanks to you and others here on the clarifications on the Constitution and no provision for the President firing his Vice President, but that he would somehow have to get an impeachment and trial upon the Hill.

That is what I meant by "Constitution crisis" possible for President Obama if he lets that Hillary anywhere NEAR the top power, but not squarely in it (as such as VP), just close enough to allow here to lick her chops.

All he could do would be on guard, put up with her antics, and then dump her as Vice President nominee in 2012. Of course, whereupon she would run against him in the Dem. primary and it would be 2008 all over again. What a mess.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thanks for clarification.

I did not know where I got the idea a President could dismiss his Vice President. He could ask that person to tender a resignation I suppose, but whether that person would actually cooperate and DO IT is another matter. In Hillary's case, we know she would not and would take matters to the precipice for our country, all in her self interest.

[potlatch]

Thanks on the Profile page.
Nothing cuter than our Yorkies, lol. Piper goes in for shots tomorrow, won’t be a fun day for him!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Sure! Just be sure to quote good ol' "AmericanInTokyo" on FR!

(OK, I WAS tempted to put it as The Frim Fram Sauce with Oss-En-Fay and Sha Fafa On The Side but just toned it down a bit......)

[GAGOP]

That is why she will never get close to the VP slot. Additionally, the president cannot bring the charges-it would have to originate in the House of Representatives.

To get her to publically say she is not interested in the VP spot is by informing her that one of the conditions for consideration would be that they would have to open the Clinton Floundation’s records for review. The Clinton’s could not allow that.

[AmericanInTokyo]

He’s in a pickle, isn’t he? If the deal he cuts is that she is to be VP, but won’t be given much power, she would take her marbles and go home and the Party splits (as well as challenge him in 2012 even if the Party split but he managed to get elected), or he can promise to give her LOTS of power as VP, in which case, he only need to remember her thinking aloud the other day about Bobby.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thanks!

"McCain should pick Lieberman as his VP!"

[potlatch]

Lol, Morris - the big ‘know it all’!!

Looks good devolve!

[ntnychik]

Great animation! Are Michelle’s hands going for Hill’s throat?
