The Clinton-Obama rift
Daily Caller ^ | 10/12/12 | Edward Klein

Posted on 10/12/2012 1:16:52 PM PDT by tips up

In fact, since the convention, Clinton and Obama have had a serious falling-out over two issues: the president’s preparation and lamentable performance in his debate with Mitt Romney, and the question of who should be assigned blame — Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — for the intelligence and security screw-up in Benghazi, Libya.

My take is that Barry realized that his political career is just about over. And he is trying to make sure Hillary's future political career is over as well. But the Clinton's won't stand for that. They would be happy to assist in Barry's electoral loss if that's what it takes to keep Hillary's career alive.

Some people seemed surprised that CNN had the debate 48-44 in favor of Ryan. It is the CLINTON News Network after all folks.

The Clintons are walking a tightrope, balancing between their desire to see Zero loose and doing so in a way that does not alienate Zero's sycophants.

It’s obvious that Hillary isn’t going to speak about Benghazi. And the rest of the Administration are just making fools out of themselves. See, for example, Joe Biden.

What’s she going to do? Become a Republican?
She is just as much at fault just at by agreeing with them.

Benghazi isn’t a pleasant thing for Hillary, but if you think she doesn’t have a fail-safe to ultimately ensure Barack Obama takes the full blame for it then you have not really been watching this woman for the last twenty years.

Obama would throw his own grandmother under the bus to save his political skin. As a matter of fact, he did just that.

Biden the buffoon set that up in the vp debate. Hitlery will take the hit. Biden lied last night and Obozo will do the same thing in the next debate. Saying that they knew nothing about previous requests for security and pinning it on the State Department is the beginning of Hitlery’s political assassination.

It is the way communists operate.

Hmm...

“My sources tell me that Clinton is working on a strategy that will allow Hillary to avoid having Benghazi become a stain on her political fortunes should she decide to run for president in 2016.”

I’m hoping The Beast will drop a bomb regarding the Libya clusterfark just before the next debate.

Bill Clinton has no choice, he has to destroy Barack Hussein Obama right now!!! He can do this quite easily, by getting his many loyal surrogates to broom Obama, while both Hillary and Bill Clintonbelongs!!!stay calmly above the fray and appear to be solidly in the Obama corner. Obama is not going to be re-elected, so...alll the Clintons need to do is put the icing on the cake. After Obama is forever destroyed politically with a massive landslide loss, Hillary & Bill can pin the murder of our diplomats and military personnel at Obama’s feet where it rightfully belongs

But I do think the the Clinton’s and Obama have the same end in mind for our country and are all involved in what is currently happening to make sure that that end comes sooner rather than later.

This is the reason she went down with what seemed like hardly a wimper when Obama won the Dem nomination - she has major dirt on Obama, but if she uses it, she’ll alienate (probably permanently) the black voters she needs to win if she runs again. Waiting her turn ... burnishing her foreign policy creds .... looked like a good plan .... until Benghazi.

“My sources tell me that Clinton is working on a strategy that will allow Hillary to avoid having Benghazi become a stain on her political fortunes should she decide to run for president in 2016.”

The only way she could do that is if she presented proof that 0bama personally denied additional security. Otherwise, it falls on her negligence and incompetence.

She probably has an email from Valerie Jarrett telling her to f*** off.

We know by the White House’s own admission that Obama seldom if ever attends the daily presidential national-security briefings that he’s supposed to attend. So how could he be expected to have known that the Benghazi embassy was frantically requesting additional security?

Joe Biden’s statement that neither he nor the president knew about Benghazi’s predicament before four Americans were killed in an attack there should not be taken as excuse but instead as a serious indictment of both him and the president — an indictment of Obama for the lethargic, out-of-touch attitude about serious issues like Libya that he displayed to such disastrous effect in his debate performance, and of Joe Biden for his clownish, it’s-all-a-big-laugh-riot attitude to the same issues he displayed last night at his.

Does anyone doubt that when the cables from Benghazi arrived at the White House pleading for increased security Obama was off doing Letterman or partying in Las Vegas, and Joe Biden was off telling audiences that ‘’they gonna put you in chains?’’ or something equally ridiculous?
