Hillary's Price (She isn't simply taking a fall over the Benghazi debacle without exacting a price)
American Thinker ^ | 10/16/2012 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 10/16/2012 11:10:52 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Rest assured that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton isn't taking a fall over the Benghazi debacle for President Obama without exacting a price -- a steep price. It's not Bill's or Hill's way to give from the heart. Like the devil, the Clintons expect their due, and gosh darn it, they're going to get it -- one way or another.

The Benghazi cover-up is a festering sore on the Obama presidency -- or more immediately, on Mr. Obama's re-election chances. "What did the president know, and when did he know it" is more than a shopworn saying regarding Benghazi and the president's involvement. In fact, a tougher question is whether or not Mr. Obama was the instigator of the cover-up, or as was said during Watergate, a "co-conspirator."

Of course, it's a guessing game as to what Mr. Obama is surrendering to Hillary for graciously falling on her sword. It depends, in fact, on Hillary's gambit working and knocking the bloodhounds off Mr. Obama's trail. The president has already turned over a small mountain of chits to Hillary's sometimes hubby, Bill, for the latter's convention speech on behalf of Mr. Obama. Actors like Bill expect to get paid -- and SAG minimums he ain't accepting.

How handsomely Mr. Obama compensates the Clintons depends in large part on his securing another four-year lease at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Let's hope that Mr. Obama's ability to meet the Clintons' shakedown terms is foiled by that Republican fella from Massachusetts, Mitt Romney. A vexed Bill and an irate Hill aren't the devils Mr. Obama wants to contend with.

You mean after he’s made citizens of another 10 million Mexican illegals the Dems still won’t win?


What is to stop Our Lord in heaven from converting all of these “illegals” in the future to people who will vote for freedom instead of slavery? That is what I am praying for.

Her plans to be president went up in flames on 9/11/12.

You're off by a bit. Eleven years to the day, to be exact. Hillary Clinton's Presidential aspirations died on 9/11/01, along with more than 2,900 people.

Her *one* best shot at POTUS would have been in 2004. Because of 9/11 she was forced to put her ambitions on hold, and by that time was basically past her "sell-by date". She will never be POTUS, and deep within that shriveled canker which exists in her in lieu of a heart, she knows this, even as I do. She will go to her grave with those ambitions unfulfilled, and cursing the name of Usama Bin Ladin.

While conservatives across the US are placed in the ironic position of having to thank that dirtball for having scuttled her plans permanently. Who says that life isn't chock full of irony?

If you are referring to the office of Secretary-General, Slick will never serve in that capacity.

While it is not contained in the UN Charter, there has been an unspoken agreement since the UN's founding in 1945 that a citizen of one of the five permanent members of the Security Council (USA, UK, Russia, China, France) cannot hold the Secretary-General's office.

Slick is outta luck...

Especially “unspoken agreements” do not deter klintoons.
Where there is a will, there is a way.

It all depends on the meaning of “unspoken” and “agreements”.

Understand that none of the third world nations want an American in that position. Not even der Schlickmeister...

Even tho Willie may will it, there is no way...

I also hope you are right, but I learned a long time ago to never say never.

Let's put it this way, then. Odds are that Slick will never be the Secretary-General of the UN.
