I do hear that President Obama will let Hillary Clinton tour a tire factory this week so she can at least match a dress to the tire tread, but one way or the other, Hillary Clinton is now going under the Obama bus.
Joe Biden began the effort to throw Hillary under the bus in the debate Thursday night. He said the White House never knew about additional security requests. With a town hall style Presidential debate tomorrow night, Barack Obama needed plausible deniability. Hillary Clinton gave it to him on CNN.
She said she took full responsibility for the unmitigated disaster that was the coverup of what happened in Libya to Ambassador Stevens and she took full responsibility for the failure to secure the Ambassador. In short, she’s falling on the sword to save Obama.
Except, doesn’t the buck stop with Barack Obama? That’s what Barack Obama said when attacking Mitt Romney over Bain Capital.
[A]s president of the United States, it’s pretty clear to me that I’m responsible for folks who are working in the federal government and you know, Harry Truman said the buck stops with you.
That’s what the President said back in July. In the same interview, he went on to say, “one of the things you learn is, you are ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operations.”
But then again, often what this President practices and what he preaches are two different things.
It’s a win for Hillary....she comes out of it a hero willing to take one for the team....Zero on the other hand comes off hiding behind her skirt. With “O” it’s “The Buck Stops Over There”!!!
“I’m not sure I heard her take “ full resposibility”
You are correct. I’m not so sure just what she took responsibility for.
About haqlf of the American people don’t give a crap if they’re lied to!!!
Wise words. They make me feel so sad.
Obama, Hillary, Panetta, Rice, they were all there giving "COMFORT" to the families. I would have spit on each one of them, no way would I let them touch me.
Hillary can always fall back on the "Vast RightWing Conspiracy" are to blame for this exploding out of control, while we are trying to bury these 4 brave souls we had murdered.
Obama is showing he has the character of a man who, when his ship is sinking, will pull a woman off of a lifeboat to save himself.
But why is Hillary allowing herself to be used like this? Obama has spent his entire term blaming others for his failures — but never, till now, his own cabinet secretaries.
Like the Benghazi raid, ‘’Fast and Furious’’ also caused American casualties, yet Obama has never blamed his Attorney General for it or forced him to take full responsibility — he has always falsely blamed the Bush Administration. When an oil well blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, all of the blame was put on the oil company involved, not an iota on the Secretary of the Interior, whose Department had previously exhibited flaws in its permitting process.
Not to mention that everything that has gone wrong with the economy over the past four years has been laid at the feet
of the Bush administration.
Yet Hillary alone has been crucified for the sake of Obama. If Hillary has any followers, her martyrdom will cause them to rally round her in vengeful anger and propel her forward against the forces of the Obama administration (Joe Biden) as the campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination gets underway, the day after the November 6th election. Maybe that’s what all this brouhaha has been about.
I'm willing to be Obama is savoring this moment of what he perceives to be Hillary's political downfall.
A famous Obozo quote remembered from last year:
“uh, uh, uh, uh er, er, er, er...”
Truly a man of substance.
The commissions idea of Moderator fairness: an old liberal, a rude liberal and a fat liberal. Is that diversity enough?
Are our ‘leaders’ too damned mealy mouthed to state what the ‘unruly’ terrorists did to the ambassador’s body before and after they murdered him?
He was sodomized, damnit!
Hitlery knew the ambassador was a practicing homosexual before she sent him to Libya and the followers of the pervert Mohammed knew that as well. They, of course, practice homosexuality (especially with very young hairless boys) as a matter of course.
It seemed almost as though he was to be used as a ploy as was the 12 minute filmstrip, and as the guns that were handed off to narcoterrorists south of our border. There is an agenda here on the part of this most evil of regimes in history and when I see how close these damned polls are it makes me want to puke!
Liars, liars and damned liars!
In a proper frame of time these liars would be treated as treasonous rats who should be exterminated rather than pedestalized.
