Is Obama taking Hillary out?

Here’s how it’s likely going down:

The Clintons and the Obamas have a long history of bad blood, dating to the 2008 primary race. After Mr. Obama creamed her, he offered her the plum gig of secretary of state. Friends close, enemies closer. She tried to get her dirty tricks consigliere, Sidney Blumenthal, a top position in the State Department, which Mr. Obama pointedly denied. So she hired him anyway through the Clinton Foundation.

Through Mr. Blumenthal, she was fed all kinds of intelligence on global hotpots such as Libya, much of it inaccurate, as she circumvented traditional government communication chains via her private email server. What was she hiding from Mr. Obama? And why? Perhaps because she trusted Mr. Obama about as much as she trusted Bill....so she set up her own fiefdom.

Mr. Obama needs a successor whom he can control to ensure that the “fundamental transformation of the nation” continues. He cannot control either of the Clintons. In a revealing “tell” this week, he said, “In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys. I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces.”

He will therefore back the one person he knows will do his bidding: his vice president, Joe Biden, whom he summons to his side for every critical photo op, including the announcement of the Iran deal. There’s more going on there than just symbolism.

So here’s the likely plan: Mr. Biden will announce that he is running for president (the reported dying wish of his late son, Beau). After a respectable amount of time, Mr. Obama will announce that while he admires all of the Democratic candidates, Mr. Biden has earned his particular loyalty.

——she set up her own fiefdom——

I don’t give her the credit for having the brains to do that. Who did?

And that person is HIMSELF.

That should be the only "tell" you need.

[Timber Rattler]

Slick.

Jeb vs Joe as a DC insider strategy? I wonder how Trump would fare third party. That is, I wonder if he'd get more than 60% of the vote.

Hey, if this is Obama's strategy, for the first time ever, I say GO FOR IT !!!

After Mr. Obama creamed Hillary in the primaries, he offered her the plum gig of secretary of state.

Mmmmm...... went down soemthing like this.

Uncle Teddy was furious at the Clintons b/c they had pics of Obama in Muslim dress that they planned to use to knock him out of the race. Teddy warned the Clintons not to use the pics. But there had to be an incentive b/c the Clintons were the only thing holding Obama back ......

So Obama made a late night visit to the Clintons....a discussion was held and, lickety-split, Hillary dropped out of the race.

Shortly thereafter, Uncle Teddy and Caroline endorsed Obama....as Democrats cheered.

Pres-elect Obama named Hillary Secy of State real lickety-split.

You’re also forgetting that two of Hillary’s superdelegates woke up dead before the convention.

And the Chicago Way was only in second gear, then...

Is Obama taking Hillary out?

I doubt it. He likes men. She likes women.

[P.O.E.]

Only the most ruthless rise to the top of any totalitarianism.

ACADEMY AWARD-WORTHY--Pres Obama's "I know nothing" act.

<><> He didn't know about this?

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks.

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed Clinton using "charity" to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

================================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE---WE, THE PEOPLE, NOTICED Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt....w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Obama never noticed that Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters. The avaricious Clintons devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.

No question----Obama's protecting the Clintons---b/c they're his meal ticket. The Clintons deposit Obama's cut into his two (cough) "foundations." All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on poverty-stricken people in these dirt-poor countries.

===============================================

OBAMA HAS TWO CLINTONESQUE FOUNDATIONS (two that we know of)---w/ visions of million dollar honoraria, consultancies, and foundation donations dancing in his fool head.

FORGET US NTL SECURITY---IRAN CONTROL BILLIONS OF DOLLARS---OBAMA's AIMING TO GET A CHUNK OF IT Measure Obama's blathering against the back-drop of his two foundation (two that we know of---as the Obamas get ready for the big Foundation payday....ala the Clintons.

GAG-A-RAMA Obama recently bragged that, “today, once again, the US is the most respected country on earth.”

<><> So it doesn’t matter Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine....

<><> Or that China knows it can continue grabbing key sea areas, building vast artificial islands on which to plant its flag (and weapons).

<><> Or that Bashar al-Assad is back to using chemical weapons, because Obama won't enforce his own “red line.”

<><> or that Iran is already breaking the “interim” US nuclear deal by building enriched-uranium stockpiles far larger than it promised.

<><> Iraq? In the same breath, Obama talks of how “we were able to end two wars."

=========================================

Obama learned from the Clintons how to get a big payday for his two foundations: look on w/ approval even if countries invade and depopulate.....and never e-v-e-r utter a discouraging word e-v-e-r.

Maybe even shake hands w/ foreign tyrants to get mining permits and million dollar honorariums as Clinton did in Kazakhstan.

======================================

How well Obama learned at the knee of Hillary when she was Obama's Secy of State. At that time the "State Dept Mission Statement" mentioned that it would "create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community."

(Well, profitable for the Clinton Foundation, anyway.)

Now it looks like that "prosperous world" is gonna happen, thanks to Obama's two foundations (/snix).

“He will therefore back the one person he knows will do his bidding: his vice president, Joe Biden”............

Oh how I hope he does just exactly that and that Cruz gets a chance to debate ole Joe. I’d even pay to see that suicide mission.

[VMI70]

Bingo!

[Jim Noble]

The shadow war has been going on for a long time.

The question is not “Is Team Obama at war with Team Clinton?”, but rather “what has changed to allow the war to become semi-public?”

I always assumed the Clintons had the goods on Barry, enough for him to be removed, and that therefore he had to give them a pass for their innumerable crimes.

Apparently, this is now less of a factor than previously, the question is, why?

[Liz]

Hillary wanted her dirty tricks consigliere, Sidney Blumenthal, beside her---in a top position in the State Department, But Obama nixed Sid. So Hillary hired him through the Clinton Foundation.

In 2009, the Clintons duped the public, and its wealthy donors, (and contravened tax-exempt laws), by announcing their pal, Sidney Blumenthal, had been hired......(wait for it) "to work on a Foundation project to promote Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy. "

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

HILLARY'S SECRET ADVISOR---AND TRIPLE DIPPER:

Blumenthal had several side interests----and through Hillary, he had unlimited access to valuable intel which helped him profit on the side.

But Sid's secret emails show that, while on the foundation payroll, ostensibly promoting Bill's legacy, Blumenthal fed back-channel, usually unreliable, intelligence reports on Libya to then-Secy of State Clinton.

Hillary sent Sid's reports on to senior State official without attribution......as if they were her analyses.

========================================

The NYT reports extensively on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed):

<><> the Clintons announced Blumenthal was hired by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy",

<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters — two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Clinton's effort,

<><> Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to businesses seeking Libyan contracts (compromising US ntl interests, by marketing his influence at the State Dept);

<><> Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya @ $320,000 per year;

<><> Sid also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton political fixer, David Brock's, media operations.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Absolutely. The Democrat Party is nothing but a mob war. It’s Tony Soprano going to war with the New York crew.

“In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys. I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces - all of which I created or help create.”

——she set up her own fiefdom—— I don’t give her the credit for having the brains to do that. Who did?

There is your first mistake, thinking hillary is not smart enough to pull off this type of crap that she has, and gotten away with it. She is very smart and calculating - using it all for evil.
