White House throws Hillary under the 2012 bus

Posted By Neil Munro On 1:01 PM 10/12/2012 @ 1:01 PM In DC Exclusives,DC Exclusives - Original Reporting,Politics

The White House is throwing Hillary Clinton under the 2012 election bus.

Top officials have already claimed the nation’s intelligence agencies did not alert the White House to the growing danger facing the State Department’s facility in Benghazi, Libya, which was destroyed Sept. 11 by a jihadi attack on the 11th anniversary of the atrocities in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

The claim was repeated Oct. 11 by Vice President Joe Biden during the vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky. “We weren’t told they wanted more security,” he announced.

Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser for communications, extended the claim Oct. 11 by telling told Foreign Policy magazine that neither Biden nor President Barack Obama knew of the growing danger.

“Biden speaks only for himself and the president and neither of them knew about the requests at the time,” Rhodes said, according to Foreign policy.

“These kinds of issues are handling in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing.

Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said, amid tough questioning from Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry.

The White House’s statements leaves Hillary Clinton on the hook, because she runs the Department of State.

The widening breach between Clinton and the team of Obama and Biden comes as the president is being outpolled by Gov. Mitt Romney.

They’re not throwing her under the bus if she is at fault which is what I suspect. Either her or some other political appointee at State. I doubt Obama new jack about what was going on there or anywhere else.

Hopefully, this will start open warfare between the Clintonistas and the Obamites.

Hillary may be under the bus right now, but she will climb oput by blaming someone else in State.

Hillary will not eat this one.

This could be fun.

Things really could get interesting if Slick Willy feels he's been stabbed in the back after saving Barry during the convention. The conventional wisdom was that Bill had only agreed to give a whole hearted endorsement of Barry if they would reciprocate by promising to support Hillary in 2016.

Even if they are right, WHAT does this say about this administration? They can be lied to (cf. Lanny Breuer in Fast and Furious) or incompetent (as in this case), but NOBODY DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

This is the problem with a President who knows as much about administering an organization as an Eskimo knows about Amazonian mushrooms.

Obama may or may not have known (I believe he did), but he damn well participated the failed coverup.

Bill has been awfully quiet as of late, after his convention speech where we were told he was going out on road to "fight every day from now to the election" for Obama, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Even after Obama's debate debacle he was silent.

Maybe, but that implies that Bill and Hillary are on the same team and it’s not 100% clear to me that their interests ARE closely aligned.

Response from Chappaqua:

“I’m not going down alone, I’m taking you with me, sucka!”

Look for leaks from the massive Clinton Data Dump to seal Barry’s defeat in the next couple of weeks.

I do love it when the mob families turn on each other.

Exactly. But we're presuming he didn't want a crisis in the first place.
