Okay, I am trying to understand this. Apparently, we have a President who did not provide proof of his eligibility for the office because nobody asked him to. The democrats were so enamored by this clean, articulate black man that they were willing to look the other way. And the feckless republicans were afraid to say anything because they might appear to be racists? Spoilsports? I’ll concede that, so far, that’s all possible.
But, explain this to me. Obama’s opponent in the primaries was Hillary Rodham Clinton. There is no more devious, well-informed political entity in the world than the Hildabeast, supported by her equally devious and corrupt husband. They had to have heard the rumors about Obama’s lack of eligibility. Unlike the republicans, Hillary isn’t feckless, and probably isn’t all that afraid of being tagged a racist, having been married to “the first black President,” and having jumped through all the usual liberal
pro-diversity hoops. I’ll never buy that she “took one for the team” for the good of her party, or, more laughably, her country. So, how and why did the Clintons allow this to happen?
What better way to get YOUR agenda passed through Congress without getting any of the blame, then coming to the rescue of your party as it tries to regroup as the only prominent candidate available without stain. Just a hunch.
It is like the “mutually assured destruction” of the Cold War. In other words, Obama had, and has, plenty of dirt on Hillary.
So?....What would have happened if Hillary had pushed this?
** Obama would have said, “Gee! I'm sorry and gone back to his day job of being a U.S. Senator.
** Hillary and Bill would have gone to prison....Possibly for life.
** Also...Hillary would have ticked off the entire black voting block. Without blacks Hillary would have been doomed anyway. I expect this was the reason she wasn't forceful about objecting to the blatant Obama fraud against her in the caucus states.
By having quiet patience, Hillary has a chance in 2012 or 2016. And...Maybe she is working behind the scenes now to expose Obama his ineligibility. Who knows?
Two words: Teddy Kennedy
You just spoke of the elephant in the living room. The impossible thing that actually happened. And that which no one ever speaks about.
But consider - you are basically describing a game of blackmail. And in such a game, the only way to win is to have something your enemy doesn't want outed. Which means that in the Obama-Hillary situation, Hillary may have had ineligibility on Obama, but Obama had something at least as destructive against Hillary - if not worse. Otherwise, she would have played her card against him.
So the question is, what was held over Hillary's head - and is it still?
Because at this point, if she gets into the White House, she'll remember all of the disloyal ones who went over to the Obama camp.
And she will pay them back.
See my #144 here. Any one of the countless skeletons in the Clinton closet was being held over her head. Once she was placed on McRino's eligibility committee, "they" had her lock, stock and barrel. After that, it wasn't about "taking one for the team" but keeping quiet to save her own neck. The Secretary of State was the consolation prize and what she may or may not realize, is that accepting the committee seat and office, she gave up the brass ring to ever becoming a candidate for POTUS. She is now nothing more than the party's pawn.
