Round two: Team Clinton book ratchets up attack on obama...
Washington Examiner ^ | 5 Sep 2014 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 09/07/2014 3:19:11 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Less than a month after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton distanced herself from President Obama by ridiculing his foreign policy, a key member of the Clinton kitchen cabinet is out with a new book that slams U.S. policy as “muddled, irresolute, and even feckless.”

Doug Schoen’s double-barreled blast at Obama in the new book, The Russia-China Axis: The New Cold War and America’s Crisis of Leadership, is the latest sign that Clinton’s team will throw Obama under the bus if that’s what it takes to get her into the White House.

“President Obama’s America is a passive, confused and ineffective superpower,” opens the book.

In the searing critique, Schoen, a polling giant who aided Bill Clinton’s reelection, and co-author and journalist Melik Kaylan argue that Obama hasn’t just been one of the weakest presidents in decades, but is putting the United States in danger.

“Yeah, the Clintons better be careful, if they know whats good for their health.”..

Seems to me the Clinton’s have a lot of ‘splainen’ to do themselves about all those dead bodies that kept arriving when they were in power. Somehow. ‘dead bodies’ seem to follow those who are in power and when the heat gets elevated against them. Odumbo’s group has seen ways to quiet their opposition.

There must be a school to teach how to shut up the opposition.

They are on the same side with the same masters. This is propaganda BS.

Then there is the book 13 Hours written by three survivor warriors that repelled the attack on the CIA complex in Bengazi.

It was fantastic TV. Bret Baired made a masterful interview of the three warriors. The look on his face as the tale was recounted is telling. Bret couldn’t believe that it was all coming out in such detail. He couldn’t believe he was in the very presence of such greatness. He was astounded. You can see it on his face.

By the summer of 2016, the book will be a TV movie and it will kill the Hillary campaign and what is left of the Obama administration if he is still around

You mean the Obama-Clinton CBS 60 minutes lovefest earlier this year is irrelevant? People need reminding.

“From bitter opponents to powerful partners, President Obama and Secretary Clinton discuss their friendship, Benghazi, Clinton’s health and more.” - CBS news website

About Bengazi, I recall when Stevens remains were met at Andrews with both Hitlery and Obola present. Hitlery actually looked sad. Obola sincerely looked disinterested and like he would rather be on the nearby golf course.

Hitlery is going to use the explanation that while she was doing on the road foreign service duties, foreign policy decisions were driven from the white house and its staff (Jordan). Frankly the theatrics are being set up that way and the MSM will lap it up. IMO, more than likely this is exactly as it played out and the only thing that might take her down will be if she tramples too hard on the Narcissist in Chief's desire to be on Mt. Rushmore (IMO hopefully at 8ooo feet at 575 mph in AF-1). The good news is no secretary of state has been elected to president since the 1850's. The bad news, a former senator was elected to president recently: Obola.

So how does Clinton distance hersef from this disaster after having served in arguably the top cabinet position for four years?

Just like this.

Take the SOS position for long enough to claim expertise in international affairs. Quit early enough to distance yourself from the actual decision-making. Have surrogates make the attacks through "books". Rely on the stupidity of the leftist base to be incapable of connecting the dots.

Hope that you are the leftist the media will lie for and not someone else.

Her single biggest disadvantage with the electorate is that she is genuinely unlikeable. Facts no longer enter into the equation in elections.

Since most of Obama’s Middle East policies were crafted by Hillary, will Hillary be running against herself to get elected? How does this work?

I see little difference between Kerry and Hillary. Physically Kerry may be a little taller, but policy differences are negligible.

Great point. For some reason they think they’ve got to get his poll numbers low enough that he has zero chance of officially becoming a dictator.

I cannot find a record of Hillary making that statement.

SNOPES says it is false.

I do find it repeated on various blogs, but they never give a source.

Yeah it is.

I had to look it up myself...

After reading it 3 times.

The first time I read through it, like I read through everything. It read like I was listening to a conversation in Spanish. (I don't speak Spanish, but I do know about 5 words)

Had to read through it again. That time it read like it was EARLY morning and I needed coffee. LOTS of coffee.

The third time I read it, I was actually able to understand what she was TRYING to articulate.

I instantly thought of this verse in Proverbs:
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. Proverbs 10:19

So I read some other verses in Proverbs 10:

10:6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

10:8 The wise of heart will receive commands, But a babbling fool will be ruined.

10:10 He who winks the eye causes trouble, And a babbling fool will be ruined.

10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

10:13 On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.

10:14 Wise men store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.

10:20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little.

10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding.

10:32 The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted.

Hitlery has been staying out of the news lately, weird, eh? Clearly this is the opening salvo in her campaign’s next round. Thanks Rummyfan.

feckless ?

If a newspaper editorial describes a politician as feckless, you might wonder, "What is feck, and why doesn’t he have any?” In fact, the columnist is accusing the politician of being irresponsible and incompetent.

Did you know that most varieties of English are in fact “feck”-less? They don’t contain a word feck, only the negative counterpart - feckless. The “feck” in feckless began as a short form of "effect" used in the Scots dialect. So feckless essentially means "ineffective," but is also used to describe someone who is irresponsible, incompetent, inept, or without purpose in life.

Perhaps the current occupant of the Oval Office simply doesn't give a feck about the country and is indeed feckless.

By pretending it didn’t exist. And at least 3/5 of her base will buy it. It should be small potatoes for hillbill to work the rest.

If the Clintons are throwing Obama under the bus their 2016 Democrat competition will be forced to support Obama. What a dirty trick on the Clinton’s part coming out so early.

I can hear Hillary on her action as Sec State on foreign policy: ‘I vas only followink orders’.
