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.

dump Biden and appoint her as VP?
VP isn’t what she wants. She wants to be top banana.
Evita wants “O” OUT. It will lop 4 years off her wait for the Presidency.
She thinks she can challenge Romney in 4 years or in 8. In any case it’s better than 4 more years of “O” then a ‘maybe NOT’ run for the nomination.
Besides, after 4 more years of “O”, every Democrat in America will be SO toxic that it will be donkey’s years before we see another Democrat in the WH.
Evita doesn’t have donkey’s years.
well it’s just a quick trip to ft. marcy park after that
I’m surprised that her PUMA supporters from 2008 are quite.
in any relationship, she IS the top banana. Ask Huma.
I wonder what Hillary is going to get from Obama for taking the blame for Libya?
As VP she would be one last breath away from top banana.
As VP she would be one last breath away from top banana.
Speculative speculation. She’s done it for the good of the Party (and her, Bubba’s and Chelsea’s future in it.)
Hillary hit the glass ceiling.... Where r the feminists
Ms. Clinton says she is responsible for all that happens on her watch.....then she says the “Security Experts” will investigate.....her head was never in jeopardy.
Not being really the smartest wopman on the planet, but not rock stupid, hitlery knows her chances in 2016 are dimmer by the day. I think she’s settling for Supreme Court or Big Dog at the UN and nobama has offered one or both if she’d take the dive “for the cause”.
Can you say “Supreme Court”?
I imagine Huma is content to whisper the glories of the muslim brotherhood in her ear for now...
Obama winning doesn’t extend Hillary’s four-year wait at this point.
I don’t know . . . I’m thinking it’s not so much what O has promised to do FOR them as what he has promised NOT to do TO them. This Chicago politics, afterall. Who knows what “evidence” he has has (or can fabricate) on past misdeeds. Did someone mention Ft. Marcy Park? I don’t think the Arkansas mob has quite the experience the Chicago mob has.
What price has she paid other than saying “the buck stops with me”?
Has she resigned?
Has she been asked to resign?
Is she being called in front of Congress on dereliction of duty (or the equivalent for her office) charges?
So far all I can see with these “consequences” is that she had to make a statement. Big deal.
