EXCERPT

"I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, were the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions, Clinton said.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

Hmmmmm....

[GeronL]

and what is the punishment??

[BallandPowder]

She just stated that the president did not control foreign policy, she did. Whoah....

[Bullish]

Whatever blackmail Obama and his goons have on the Clintons must be massive.

[NonValueAdded]

Holy carp

[onona]

Well, if she can stomach being publicly humiliated by her president husband cheating in the oval office under her nose, she can certainly fall on the sword for the deaths of 4 Americans for BHO.

How disgusting. She’s nothing but a 2016 whore.

I pray for America, but man, there’s a lot of heavy lifting to do.

[RummyChick]

She took the fall- now she will go off to be the President of Yale. She can later run for President if she wants.

[VanDeKoik]

“”I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha,” she added, noting that it is close to the election.”

Which means what you said is disingenuous.

Sorry, you have a boss, and he is responsible for what you do or dont do.

[bray]

She likely got a nice 8 figure deposit from uncle george in here Cayman bank acct.

Pray for America

[shove_it]

Well, that’s a start. Now let’s get her on the water board to get the full story.

[builder]

Hmmmmmm . . . seems like the Chicago machine has more juice than the Clinton Mafia.

VERY interesting . . .

Or - Deals be done struck.

[maggief]

... meanwhile Bill is 0’s “surrogate” on the trail..

WTF?

[AU72]

How convenient for Obama before the debate.

[hinckley buzzard]

Obama believed he had to clear the air after Biden's lies about who knew what when. Trouble is, he will now have made Clinton look like a scapegoat and a victim of Obama's disdain for women. This is shabby treatment of Clinton, and all women will see it instantly for what it is. As more truth comes out he just won't be able to dodge this bullet.

Wonder what Billyboy gets out of this deal? It has to be a lot to stab his own wife in the back. Unless, the game isn' t over...

[originalbuckeye]

My sentiments exactly. That being said, her comment was basically ‘as Secretary of State I am responsible for all the employees in the State Dept. The security concerns are overseen by security experts'. So, she SAID she will take responsibility, but just like her husband, implicated others were really responsible. How Obamaian and Clintonian at the same time!

[gorush]

Getting in front of a camera and saying that WAS the punishment. Can’t we just move on?

[onyx]

Then RESIGN, Hitlery.

FOUR AMERICANS WERE SLAUGHTERED AND YOU REPEATEDLY LIED BLAMING THAT IDIOT FILM!

[tet68]

She just stated that the president did not control foreign policy, she did. Whoah....

They are really starting to wing it as it all comes
unraveled, which of course will make it worse. Hehe.

[Cboldt]

So, she’s not copping to the “the movie made them do it” fiction. Not yet, anyway.

[katykelly]

Wondering what bill and hill are getting paid for this ? Mitt should ask 0 about letting the girl take the blame for him . Reminds me of Janet Reno , of course nothing happened to Reno .

[Nachum]

The list, Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

WTH?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yale deserves her.

[Jonty30]

Im thinking that Obama promised a scorched earth campaign, if Hilary didn’t take the fall. She’ll probably get an easy ambassadorship to some European country for having taken the fall.

Her political career is now basically finished. It was probably done to save keep some uncomfortable questions being asked during the third debate.

[all the best]

“Taking responsibility” for something is not the same as being responsible for that thing. No matter what she says the President is responsible.

[originalbuckeye]

Democrat women/Feminists don’t give a flying crap about women. They are just for Left wing causes and use women’s emotions to achieve their goals.

[IrishPennant]

Then RESIGN, Hitlery.

Say it again and say it often. I know I will!!!!

[maggief]

“Hmmmmmm . . . seems like the Chicago machine has more juice than the Clinton Mafia.”

Axelrod played the card and HRC caved?!

[Jyotishi]

I’d say she got paid at least $10 million.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Mitt should ask 0 about letting the girl take the blame for him”

Man, would I love that. Hiding behind a woman.....Womens vote, anyone ?

LOL!

[GeronL]

resume enhancement?

[LaybackLenny]

LOL! If Barack’s smart (?!), he’ll steer clear of Ft. Marcy Park.

[Bullish]

I wish the Clinton's would just unload all the ammo they have on this phoney creep and let the chips lie where they fall.
It would be the biggest October surprise in the history of American politics, but they won't because it would not only finish the Kenyan, it would finish the democrat party too.

[American Constitutionalist]

Put it this way.... Hillary's supporters will see this as Obama throwing Hillary under the bus and they won't like it at all.
Watch a major shift of women moving ( not that it's not already doing so ) away from Obama to Romney.

[Logical me]

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions

Don't believe this crap. It is King Obama that wants a low profile in this Muslim land of the killing of Americans in hopes that it will bring peace.

[onyx]

Right!

Taking “full responsibility” means serious consequences.

Resign, Hitlery!

[hcmama]

Hillary taking a cue from Janet “the Queen of Waco” Reno.

[henkster]

If it’s your fault, resign bitch!

[American Constitutionalist]

No worries, he’s got all the gay voter base on his side so he will win his re-election...... Mega Sarcasm.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The only thing that could be that massive would be proof of their involvement in one or more of the many mysterious deaths on their list or proof of the treason they committed by giving the chicoms missile and guidance technology.

[maggief]

Yet, Bill (and Springsteen)’s are O’s big dogs on the trail.

What am I missing??

[workerbee]

Taking “full responsibility” means serious consequences.

LOL -- since when????

[o2bfree]

Still doesn't explain:

Why did Obama blame a youtube video for the attack?

[old and tired]

Hmm. She’s taking responsibility for the security. Who’s taking responsibility for the BS about the film?

[Viennacon]

Hillary throwing herself under the bus. It is strange.

[The Cajun]

Whatever blackmail Obama and his goons have on the Clintons must be massive.

In the words of Dick Cheney "Big Time!"

[epluribus_2]

And if this weren’t an election, then what, missy?

[Jeff Chandler]

and what is the punishment??

The whaaaaaaa?
