dump Biden and appoint her as VP?
I’m surprised that her PUMA supporters from 2008 are quite.
I wonder what Hillary is going to get from Obama for taking the blame for Libya?
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”?
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.
Wow. I’m still processing this whole Libyan fiasco. It has gone so wonderfully wrong on so many different levels for 0bama.
1. He lied and lied and lied about the stupid video, and now he’s been caught;
2. The terrorists must be the most frustrated group in the world because they committed a direct attack on the United States, and got ignored. They will not be ignored. Not that it’s a good thing, but it’s just an observation.
3. The media tried to cover for 0bama, but deep down inside I wondered if they got tired of Axelrod’s constant hectoring and bullying. Yes, they are of the same ideological stripe, but even the battered wife will dump the loser husband eventually. I think the dam has cracked, it just might be breached here.
3. If 0bama planned all this as his “October surprise” it was the worst conceived, worst executed “October surprise” of all time. It probably cost him his job (and rightly so).
4. The GOP is sticking it to him and he is foundering on this issue.
5. Now he’s been stabbed in the back by Hilary. Sure, for her it might be a “poison pill” but her acceptance of responsibility was clearly not known in advance by 0bama and his staff, as they didn’t have a good response. What the heck, there IS no good response to it. And it’s not coincidence that Hilary chose to make the announcement in Peru, of all places.
Tonight will be huge; it really is the chance for Romney to land the knockout punch. 0bama is in a no-win position; either he hides behind Hilary’s skirt, or he takes responsibility and has to admit he lied to the American people. Either way he loses big time.
Hillary’s only failing as secretary of state is that she’s late for everything...when she looks at a clock, it stops.
This is 100% Hill and Bill. The best theory goes like this- Obama threw Hillary under the bus. Hillary attempted damage control in a closed conference call with the Press except FOX news. She ultimately surmised that the public will partially blame her so she took responsibility (then, shifted the blame to the intelligence community for 2016 cover). This now puts Obama in a place where he needs to take responsibility, i.e, she throw him under the BUS. Will the GOP say, Mr President your SOS took responsibility, will you now also take it??
or whether or not the kenyan was the facilitator of the attack in an effort to get the ambassador kidnapped for a dramatic "rescue" or trade for the Blind Sheik to enhance the kenyan's credentials as a Foreign Policy ace.
Hillary came out and read a line from her job description. Everybody already knew she was responsible for embassy security. It’s like she came out and said, “My name is Hillary Clinton.” How is that going to hurt her? She didn’t take some noble fall to save Obama. They’re both just stalling trying to get through the election.
Hillary and Obama fostered and supported the fighting in Libya. They did an incompetent job of it and some anti-aircraft missiles got away and we don’t have control of them. Some bad people may have control of them. This is about Obama and Hillary trying to coverup their incompetence. Again, why would they risk kidnapping an Ambassador for an October surprise? I’m starting to think that the people saying that’s the only plausible explanation are just Democrats muddying the water.
She said, "I take responsibility." Heard her say it myself. And what does she get? Fired? No. Jail time? No. Instead, she gets compensated handsomely.
Some say the phrase "I take responsibility" is meaningless nowadays if you're a high ranking democrat. Not true. It means you're about to get handsomely paid.
