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.

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

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.

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

“”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.

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...

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!

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