Bingo! You are right on the mark. Hillary is not smart enough to have thought this up by herself. This is Billy’s doing. Dick Morris has been saying it for months and it rings true. The Clintons hate Obama and have not forgiven or forgotten what Obama did to them in ‘08. They don’t want Obama to be reelected. They know he is a disaster and would make it impossible for Hillary or any democrat to be elected again if he gets another 4 years.
This was a brilliant political move. By taking full responsibility, the Impeached One knows that this further exposes the true perception of Obama’s detachment and weakness. Anybody with half a brain would know that the NSC would have to know the ongoing situation in Benghazi and be obligated to inform the President. This is beautiful coming just days after it was publicized that Obama attends only 43% of his National Security briefings. Then in the proceeding days after Sept. 11 there were riots and demonstrations in Libya, Egypt and other hotspots that went on for days. Rather than get with the NSC and State Dept. to get to the truth then, they sent Susan Rice out with their ridiculous video farce.
Bill Clinton is simply brilliant. He can claim that Hillary took the fall to protect the president right before the election and save the party. He knew full well this will blow up in Obama’s face while at the same time demonstrating that he and Hillary are being fully loyal. It doesn’t get better than this.
I posted elsewhere that Romney should say in one of the debates the following:
“President Harry Truman said the buck stops here. Apparently in this administration the buck stops with Hillary”
Hillary knew her bipartisan Republican pals in the Senate would have her back. Generally speaking, Senators don’t allow former Senators to be thrown under the bus.
