Okay, I’m fashionably forming a new hat out of tinfoil, but does anyone else remember how Hillary actually got the job of SoS? All she did was get the word out that Obama asked her if she wanted the job and she ran with it, by the time the media had got through spreading it far and wide he would look like an ass if he didn’t give it to her.

Am I seeing the exact same thing here perhaps? By starting this rumor (whoever it was who did it) Obama will either have to admit its true, or come back with a different number and then have to explain why the numbers are so skewed from what everyone had anticipated.

It just has that same feel to it.

A 'whodunit'. Hard to say really, but from my personal experience in dealing with socialists/marxists/communists and other organized criminal types, there's no honor among thieves, there are always factions inside of factions and they will stick each other in the back for advantage quicker than they will do it to you or me. If we manage to gum up the works to where nothing goes through like they plan, you'll sure to see disintegration from disgust and blame-game infighting from among the crowd that lurks over at the White House, conversely if all goes well according to plan, jockeying for position and favor over the spoils will sure to be seen and an especially nasty tug of war that will be. Could have been anybody from that crowd, for any nefarious self-serving reason.

I haven't really puzzled out why Hillary took the SOS job. To me it was an obvious ploy to marginalize her and keep her out of play in a "hold your competition closer" move, and she leaped right on it. Looks like Hillary is SOS in title only since special envoys typically are dispatched hither and dither while she attends ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the Duchy of Grand Fenwick and Lower Elbonia.

Exactly. See my post 90.
