If any of you had the opportunity to watch Fox & FRiends this morning, you probably saw Bob Beckel being interviewed about todays political events.
Towards the end of the interview he announced to the Fox & FRiends hosts that he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.
The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.
So the die is cast, IMHO Hillary will suspend her campaign within the next 24 hours and then the bomb will drop, leaving the Republics to take the blame.
Beckel said that this will make Hillary the candidate. Whatever is on that tape (if it is a tape)it must be a beaut.
Expose Obama and blame it on the Repubs? That almost seems to easy for her.
She could start wearing her burka in public?
For a nickel he will.
So is the Wednesday bombshell the same as the missing 9 am Monday bombshell?
I am betting suspend. I believe that is what Tammy Bruce has been predicting for some time.
You might find this all amusing, but I am getting a little perterbed with Hillary always pulling out all the stops to get her way, you watch, she will get her way. I hope the popcorn tastes good!
You made me giggle.
Michelle Obama, “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”
If the tape exists, and if that really is a transcript, then substituting "Why'd he" doesn't go very far. You've got "the white man keeps us down". This isn't about George W. Bush and it's not merely asking "Why'd he" do things.
This is about racial hate speech.
She could start wearing her burka in public?
Maybe...then again maybe all the morning talk shows would give her kudos for being so "courageous" and "spiritual" that she wears a burka and no one could joke about her 'cause then it would be religious persecution.
I don’t think so this time. Remember, the dems just gave 30 delegates to a candidate that WASN’T even on the ballot.
The Friends asked Bob who he was supporting...he claimed that he promised Fox he would not say. I think he is playing it safe...especially since he knows about the tape.
Thanks for doing the thread...one day I will learn. ;)
“He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.”
I actually think this increases the likelihood the MSM will have to cover the story. They’ll just say we hate to bring this news out, but the evil republicans have forced us.
IMO she is his greatest liability in the general election unless they lock her up baking cookies or something like that. The girls got angry black woman syndrome and it will come out sooner or later.
I can't recall his exact comments but it went something like this.
I have been told by numerous people, and in a way that convinces me that a bombshell will be breaking tomorrow about Michele Obama.
He would not give his sources although he was asked to.
I think there is a fire under all this smoke somewhere.
There is a nearly month old rumor about this "tape." Until yesterday, the rumor was basically that Michelle ranted from Trinity, against "whitey." About a week ago the pure speculation (as in the whole thing could be false) broadened to include a transcript, "Why'd he" is part of that, but the (perhaps imaginary) transcript includes railing against "the white man" (that's a direct quote), which can't be homonized between "whitey" and "why'd he."
Yesterday, the rumor added an association with Farrakhan - a casual association, as in Michelle was either in the same panel with him, or sitting at the same table, or he was in the audience.
As rumors go, this is one of the more lively ones.
Google "larry johnson" "michelle obama" and you'll find plenty of history and action on the rumor.
"Is that really true? He certainly wasn't an actual professor; you can't make it as a full-time Chicago law prof for 10 years with no legal publications. So at most he was an adjunct. Now did Chicago really have a need for an adjunct to teach Con Law? It's not as if they're hurting for great Con Law professors there."
He was a senior lecturer, a position usually reserved for a small number of instructors (such as Judges Easterbrook, Posner and Wood) who, because of other professional obligations, cannot commit to an ordinary professorship. He was reportedly offered tenure on several occasions, and declined.
This must be the infamous “whitey” tape Michelle Obama is said to be featured in along with Farrakhan. From what I am reading the Obama camp is already formulating a response that Michelle says “why’d he” referring to Bush and not “whitey”.
Maybe the tape was going to be held for later but they don’t want to give Obama more time to formulate a defense or worse go on the offense.
