Kudlow: Obama to Pin Libya on Hillary Clinton?
CNBC ^ | 12 October 2012 | Lee Brodie

Posted on 10/13/2012 3:29:47 PM PDT by AFPhys


According to proprietary reporting from Ed Klein, Bill Clinton is concerned that Barack Obama is about to throw Hillary Clinton under the bus.

On The Kudlow Report, Klein said that President Clinton is reaching out to friends in the legal profession trying to figure out what his wife should do if she’s subpoenaed - called in to testify about events in Libya.

Joe Klein went on to say if you listen to the language used by Joe Biden in the debate closely – Bill Clinton's move may be more than simply precautionary.

“Biden said something like we were unaware – nobody told us. What does that say? The only person who did know is Hillary Clinton,” explained Klein.

“This is exactly what Bill Clinton was afraid of,” he added. The administration is going to pin the whole thing on Hillary. In recent days the administration has come under scrutiny for the way in which it released information about the Libya attacks to the American public.

On September 11, 2012 Ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and the other Americans were killed after Islamist gunmen attacked the U.S. consulate and a safe house refuge in Benghazi.

At the time the White House called the attack a spontaneous event; in response to a film that portrayed Muslim in an unflattering light.

Republicans charge the White House deliberately misled the people, knowing it was an act of terror. They say the decision was political, that Obama didn't want to disclose that al-Qadea had made a comeback in Libya.

In response to these charges, the White House has denied any intentional cover-up and counters that it has been completely transparent – providing its best intelligence on the attack, and then refining it as more information came to light.

The FBI is still investigating the attack. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also has named a State Department review panel to look into the security arrangements in Libya.

I never liked Ron Brown. Like most who worked for klinton he was slimy, but he must’ve had something on them. In typical fashion they arranged an “accident”. This came to mind when Stevens was murdered. Maybe he was going to spill the beans on “Barry”, so he was left unprotected in Libya, and the Taliban took care of a potential problem for Barry.

All Romney needs to do if Obama blames Hillary is to respond that Obama is president and that if he had been taking his security briefings as he should, he would have been better informed.

Hillary is incompetent.She has been a terrible Sec of State no matter how much the MSM tries to shill for her and Bubba. Of course she is the one most at fault for the security failure.Everything she touched turns to feces.Obama shares derivative guilt for appointing her and going along with it.

Thanks for the ping.

I don't see how either one skates on this. Except that the press refuses to cover it and no one is held accountable.

Hillary covered herself very well in her statement on 9/12. She never said that she believed that the attack was the result of the video or anything about a protest. What she said was that “some have said” that it was in retaliation for the video, blah, blah, blah.

FNC has been on it like white on rice. Romney has a huge opportunity to make hay with it next Tuesday and I’m sure he will. He should ask Obama if he agrees with what Biden said and also get Obama to go on the record blaming State or Intel. He could really get Obama to squirm if he plays it right.

Eventually, the rest of the press will get on board, especially if it starts to get really juicy like the Clinton vs. Obama angle.

No, it’s too late. Too late to add another VP on the ballot.

In other words, this election is more “over” than the polls suggest.

I didn’t even realize there IS a Demodog strategist Larry Kudlow. Never heard of ‘im. If I had, I would have been sure to note that in the original post!

This is the “money and politics” economist Larry Kudlow who was asst. Director of OMB during Reagan’s administration. He has an excellent talk show on WABC on Saturday, as well as a gig on CNBC. He also co-hosts the Tuesday night show of John Bachelor.

Yep, the “I don’t recall” defense won’t work this time.

I have had the strong impression for a week or more now that no matter what else goes down, Hitlery’s chances for pres election will be dashed by BenghaziGate. I don’t think she can survive a Dem primary due to this.

The Dinosaur Media IS making a deal out of this now. Haven’t you watched any of the WH press briefings? The press is very upset about the lying.

I am pretty sure that in NYState the VP name is on the ballot. I don’t recall about the other states I have voted in, but that was so long ago the info would no longer be valid.

I have been writing and maintaining to friends for a week now that I am getting a distinct feeling that this is going to be Romney&Ryan by about 54-43. I really don’t see how Obama is going to get out of the BenghaziGate mess, and now that Ryan has acquitted himself so famously, the die has been cast unless Romney really sticks it to himself somehow.

Right now, even military crisis/action by Obama is going to be looked on in a very jaundiced manner by even his supporters.

Would be nice to see a mafia turf war, but the ChiTowners have the upper hand over the AR hicks. The LSM prostitutes will lie for lil Barry and Cankles.
