Chuck Schumer hatched secret plan to get Obama to run

Sen. Charles Schumer "betrayed" Hillary Rodham Clinton by working with other senators to make sure a Democrat would win the White House in 2008 -- actively recruiting Barack Obama to run as an alternative to his New York colleague, an explosive new book claims.

too bad the ass-hat didnt hatch a plan to see if 0 was eligible.

"This is ridiculous. Sen. Schumer did have conversations with then-Sen. Obama long before Sen. Clinton announced and told him he would be a good candidate.

IOW, the claim is true. There's no reason why a Clinton loyalist would have had such conversations.

Can you imagine anyone who was in office during the Clinton years wanting Hillary back in the White House ?

Hmm..this book seems to be putting the screws to all of them...and they are all scampering to make their excuses.

Are we lovin it?

Chuckie couldn’t hatch a ripe egg...........

[jeltz25]

It’s like The Godfather. Brando tells Pacino, whoever asks for the meeting is the traitor.

I’m waiting for Bill or Hillary to call Chuckie in and kiss him on the lips telling him “I know it was you, Chuck-o”

RAT FIGHT!!!!!

Never doubt the power of well-placed D.C. leaks ... first, Reid’s “negro” comment and now Chuckie’s plotting against the Clinton's in this tell-all book.

Someone on the Dem side "with access" is trying to torpedo Obama and any working coalitions (such as those with Reid or the Clinton's) to deal a death-blow to ObamaCare and the rest of his agenda.

They are likely trying to weaken Obama before he totally destroys the Democratic party.

Is it me or are the Dems tearing themselves up?

Is it me or are the Dems tearing themselves up?

IMHO, it's the latter.

[AliVeritas]

The question is... who does it take the attention off?

Who doesn’t get the screw and who benefits by the distraction?

[timestax]

don’t forget about ole Teddy Sorensen

A lot of Dem hair-pulling and fingernail-scratching. Anything negative about Obama in this book, or is he floating above the fray???

[BIGLOOK]

D’Amato got Chuck right. Putzhead!

[world weary]

The democrats could have run almost anyone with the mantra "I'm not Bush" and still won that election, McLame wasn't even a contender. The country hated Bush, was tired of the war and wanted to make a statement about changing things, even if Obama didn't promise it, people thought he would make honey fall from the sky and everything would be better like waving a magic wand. Plus people wanted to vote for a black man, it was even said during the election that if you didn't support him it was because you were racist for crying out loud!

Like it or not Obama filled a void, amidst a sea of white people he stood out, the sheeple bought it because the MSM was in lockstep with him and he had Soros's money and now the world is stuck with him till 2012.

And I don't think I'm being racist here in pointing out that he's black. He brought his race into it from the moment he decided to announce his candidacy and crying from the left that if you were against him made you racist really burned me up. I don't particularly care what race someone is, what I do care about is when people think this gives them more rights or privilages than anyone else and "plays the card" to the hilt to get what they want.

To this very day, Chuckie has never denied it!
