onventional wisdom has long held that Hillary Rodham Clinton, if she runs for president, would be the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in 2016. But after a trifecta of scandals buffeting President Obama fresh questions about the White Houses veracity on Benghazi, the IRSs harassment of conservative non-profits and the Justice Department seizure ofAP telephone records Clinton's close connections with Obama could become politically problematic. Some Republicans believe that revelations about the Benghazi operation could lead to unflattering details that cast questions about Clintons stewardship at the State Department. If there was any attempt to downplay the details of what transpired for political reasons, the blowback would be serious. But Clinton could have more to lose over the general tenor of scandal thats lately suffused this administration. If the media focus shifts from Obamas second-term legacy to second-term scandal, it would cast a cloud over those looking to capitalize on his coattails. The last week has been rough for the president. As political analyst Stuart Rothenberg wrote Tuesday, a confident administration now looks out of touch and unresponsive. He warns if the controversies worsen, many Americans will start to doubt his administrations veracity and values. The conservative narrative of the Obama White House as hyper-politicized and thin-skinned about its opposition is starting to resemble reality. If that image begins to stick, it will be hard to shake off.

Well these same libs are in for a big surprise come 2014 and 2016.
Let’s find out what the other hand is doing. There’s someone in the background that we’re not seeing.
I’ll be surprised if Hillary is medically fit to campaign
Isn’t Hillary famous for sicking the IRS on her enemies?
I have a feeling she will emerge triumphant in the eyes of many, one must not forget that the left desperately needs their own version of a hero or heroine.
Hillary has enough dope on Obama to make him suffer for many years.
She certainly has plenty to lose from Benghazi.
IMO the other two are deliberate Clintonista leaks done in retaliation for attempting to toss Hil under the bus.
I want to know who made the order to stand down and to not allow our people there to have help which could have saved them all. Who changed the order to blame the attack on a Youtube video versus stating upfront that it was a terror attack. Why is that man who made the video in prison still? He could had been one of us for speaking out against Obama and expressing our political views. Obama and Hillary covered up about the terror attack and how they mishandled the events that lead up to the tragedy then goes onto the memorial as blaming that video.
2016???
By 2016
All the King’s Horses
and All the King’s Men
and All of Nancy Pelosi’s Plastic Surgeons
Won’t be able to put Hilldevil’s face
Back together again.
At least not enough for her to be in HD televised debates.

Axelrod...
.... Stephanie Cutter...
Safe bets...
Jus' say'n...
Some 95% of the woes that Herself, the Cold and Joyless, has to endure are self-induced, and nobody, NOBODY, could inflict greater damage upon Herself than that which Herself has already done.
“What difference does it make?” - very interesting question, and because Herself asked it first, the implication is that Herself has considered the consequences, hoping that none fall upon Herself.
But if it were to be thrown back at Herself, the response might be most surprising.
You said: ‘IMO the other two are deliberate Clintonista leaks done in retaliation for attempting to toss Hil under the bus.’
I’ll echo that.
“...if she runs for president...”
You gotta love it.
“Hillary has enough dope on Obama to make him suffer for many years.”
-— but the same goes for obama!
"Another scandal? BARACK!! NOOO!!!!"
What difference does it make?
Watch out for Cuomo. He acts like he’s not running, but that’s campaign strategy.
Yikes! Print those two photos, place in crawlspace and your rodent problem is solved.
Why has this -itch anything to lose. She’s done. She’s made her millions that drove her from a little town in Arkansas where she spent many sleepless nights lying next to a snoring sex addict who wasn’t allowed to touch her.
She had to act like she was standing by her man despite the fact that she would rather lie with women. She had to journey to New Yarkansas to carpetbag a Senate seat. Then lose out to a foreigner for her dream.
She pranced about the world stage in her pants suits filled with her fatass and made a mockery of foreign policy. She was, indeed, an embarrassment.
Get out, Hillary. Begone before a house falls on you and you lose your emerald slippers.
