Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton
Washington Times ^ | 8/19/2015 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 08/20/2015 10:19:43 AM PDT by Signalman

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.

She may have some dirt on him too.

Benghazi? Will Obama just say he delegated this to Hillary and she botched it all by herself? I’m not sure that will be believed, and if believed it certainly makes him look even weaker as a President. If this is possible.

I’m not so sure Ms Crowley’s premise is correct. Yet. We may find out more, a lot more, about Obama, from the Hillary camp if indeed the swords are being drawn. Pass the popcorn.

BO is worried about his own legacy, nothing else. He does not like this country or care about other people.
