Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton
The Washington Times ^ | 8-19-15 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 08/20/2015 6:21:23 AM PDT by boycott

There is only one person who controls Hillary Clinton’s fate, and it isn’t Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton is careening toward possible criminal charges involving her alleged mishandling of classified material on her personal email server while she was secretary of State. And President Obama is driving the bus.

She and her team have, of course, reverted to form, blaming everyone but themselves: a “right-wing conspiracy,” The New York Times, overzealous investigators. What they are missing, however, is the one figure who wants her taken out politically, and who has the power to do it.

She and Mr. Obama have a long history as frenemies. Recall Mr. Obama’s rejoinder at a 2008 debate, when Mrs. Clinton touted her likability: “You’re likable enough.” Or recall President Bill Clinton’s famous put-down of Mr. Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined.

No. He is leaving the cloud over her head. He will use the DOJ as a last resort. He doesn’t want to appear to be holding the knife behind her.

Biden offers the best chance for obamatollah’s legacy to survive without detracting from obamatollah’s image.

HELLry would supercede obamatollah with her “star power”.

Fauxahontas adds additional insurance to that goal and helps to further the communist overthrow of America.

Hillary and Obama are both attorneys.

They will use conventional wisdom as a tool against you.

Never accept the conventional wisdom with these 2 because you will be wrong.

I wonder if Bill has stuff that would bring Obama down.

They have law degrees. There is a question about nobama’s degree. Both are not in the bar. Neither has practiced law. They are incompetent boobs.

This explains that look of desperation on Bill’s face at the golf course.

“...once Biden is in, he may turn out to have a mind of his own.”

Of course Biden has a ‘mind of his own’ - so did the mosquito I just squashed.

It’s a BAD mind incapable of virtually anything.

(see tagline)

Best!

"...her top aides — Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan — are now also in investigators’ sights."

"Mr. Obama is a clever dark knight: he’s not just going after the queen. He’s going after her court, too."

That would be acceptable collateral damage.

Didn’t say they weren’t incompetent boobs and that is why their “conventional wisdom” trick is so easy to see.

Yes. 0 has to tread carefully in opposing PIAPS. It would be very damaging if he was seen as the one taking her down.

“The lady in question is long gone from Fox. I believe her name is Rita Cosby whom is now out of the business, selling DC real estate”

Check that Rita works on CBS’s Inside Edition, Wiki says she is a realtor as well, who knows with wiki.

Essentially, the Dem national committee has had two consecutive presidents, Clinton and now Obama that they could not control, and they too have huge reservations....

Obama has tendencies of being a complete communist in the African strain, rather than the Chicom strain. His Euro-centric crony capitalism can be, with a pen or his colorful constituents, taken away from big DNC donors making America into Amerika.

Obama is seen as a danger to be mitigated by the DNC and another Clinton would be just as disastrous for the Country. The Dem committee is at the levers of taking down Hillary, and mitigating the damage Obama is contemplating in making his Amerika; they prefer the America with capitalism under the guise of crony capitalism.

Obunga may outsmart HIMSELF on this deal. Hitlery is NOT going to go down alone, and she knows where a lot of Obunga’s bodies are buried, too. She’ll sing like a mockingbird.

When she finally realizes that her “payback” for all the crap sandwiches she ate to salvage Bill’s butt, is never going to happen, she’ll spill the beans on HIM, too. She SURELY knows where all HIS bodies are buried.

That expression on Bill’s face looks like he’s begging, pleading....

Obunga better have the SS on high alert. Arkancide can happen anywhere; i.e., Vince Foster’s trip to the park.
