Is Obama taking Hillary out?
The Washington Times ^ | July 31, 2015 | Monica Crowley

Here’s how it’s likely going down:

The Clintons and the Obamas have a long history of bad blood, dating to the 2008 primary race. After Mr. Obama creamed her, he offered her the plum gig of secretary of state. Friends close, enemies closer. She tried to get her dirty tricks consigliere, Sidney Blumenthal, a top position in the State Department, which Mr. Obama pointedly denied. So she hired him anyway through the Clinton Foundation.

Through Mr. Blumenthal, she was fed all kinds of intelligence on global hotpots such as Libya, much of it inaccurate, as she circumvented traditional government communication chains via her private email server. What was she hiding from Mr. Obama? And why? Perhaps because she trusted Mr. Obama about as much as she trusted Bill....so she set up her own fiefdom.

Mr. Obama needs a successor whom he can control to ensure that the “fundamental transformation of the nation” continues. He cannot control either of the Clintons. In a revealing “tell” this week, he said, “In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys. I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces.”

He will therefore back the one person he knows will do his bidding: his vice president, Joe Biden, whom he summons to his side for every critical photo op, including the announcement of the Iran deal. There’s more going on there than just symbolism.

So here’s the likely plan: Mr. Biden will announce that he is running for president (the reported dying wish of his late son, Beau). After a respectable amount of time, Mr. Obama will announce that while he admires all of the Democratic candidates, Mr. Biden has earned his particular loyalty.

I think if she replaced Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg the liberal Jewish base would expect a liberal Jewish female replacement

Isn’t that how the USSC works in modern history? One you have a set of diverse puppets you keep the same diverse balance ?

I hear Monica Crowley on the John Batchelor show podcast. It is great listening, and she is very informative. I highly recommend it.

Batchelor strikes me as being to my left, but he's not an insufferable AH about it. When I'm up and about late at night I find his show often very interesting and informative.

When the New York Times started going after Hillary it was obvious it was Obama.

The New York Times would NEVER object to anything the Clintons did IF they got the information from Republicans.

At the least, Batchelor is pro American.

Barack could always get Michelle to run on a last minute campaign. Keep that in mind.

“It’s so hard to figure out ...”

You must be joking. The Clintons are a criminal enterprise; the current president is tearing the country apart.

Geeeeee ..?? I don’t see them as having any potential of leading America anywhere but into the toilet.

Of course. According to the prophet women are just property.

Wow, my gut tells me Monica is right. Obama and his cadre could control Biden. Chilling. .

I don't know. Joe is tired. He doesn't have much in the way of passion or energy. He does what he's told, sure -- the minimum that he's told to do.

That's quite a contrast to Obama -- or even to HRC. They both have shown a passion to remake the world that old white guy Joe can't match.

He's with Obama because Obama needed somebody from his demographic to balance the ticket, but what he'd do as president could be substantially different from what Barack wants.

Or at least Joe would be half-hearted enough about following the BHO line that Obama's team might actually prefer Hillary Clinton.

Joe would do what Obama wanted or die. Simple as that. Don’t know if he’s up for that game though. .

Well the State Dept. are the ones releasing the emails, and they are in chronological order from the time she became SOS. They have not even gotten to the time frame of Benghazi.

State would not release this without the permission of El Presidenta.
