Obama-Hillary Axis Exposed As Purely Self-Serving (Bill Clinton Urged HRC to Run AGAINST Barry O)

Enter Edward Klein and his updated paperback edition of the best-selling Obama expose, "The Amateur." The rivals, Obama and Clinton, apparently have never really been much of a team.

Klein's sources, some close to Hillary and her former president husband, say a deal was cut between the Clintons and Obama in which Bill last year "would give the key nominating speech at the convention, and a full-throated endorsement of Obama. In exchange, Obama would endorse Hillary Clinton as his successor."

Of course, keeping promises is not Obama's strong suit, as the millions of Americans who will pay a lot more for health insurance can tell you. Klein writes that "after his re-election, Obama began to have second thoughts," preferring "to stay neutral in the next election" — causing Bill Clinton to go "ballistic" and threaten retaliation.

After that pressure, according to Klein, "Obama backed down," called his friends at CBS News and arranged "an unprecedented farewell interview" on 60 Minutes alongside Hillary

This scenario makes a lot more sense than a Doris Kearns Goodwin 21st century Lincoln tale of a nasty Chicago politician ending up having a heart of gold — especially considering some of the things Klein's Clinton contacts say they've heard Bill say about Obama. "I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever," Bill reportedly said during a 2011 meeting in which he urged his wife to run against Obama in 2012.

"Obama doesn't know how to be president," the 42nd president reportedly added. "He doesn't know how the world works. He's incompetent. He's an amateur!"

In bringing in Hillary Clinton, Obama was no more "Lincolnesque" than Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and Vito Corleone were in advising that you keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

This needs to be hollered from the mountaintops!

'If you’re the president, member of congress, govt. agent, etc, the only reason why anyone should listen to what you say, is because you exercise power via the Constitution'.

'If the Constitution doesn’t count, you don’t have any legitimate power, and should be (forcibly) removed for trying to exercise power you don’t possess'.


It seems to me that the FedGov is picking and choosing which laws to respect and enforce, thereby setting the example for all of us.

It should never be forgotten that it was the Clintons who gave birth to the "birther" movement.

During the first Obama presidential campaign, in August, 2008, Bill Clinton was asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be president. Clinton knew what was meant by the question but instead of commenting about Obama's character, experience, knowledge of foreign and domestic policy, and leadership abilities, etc., he offered this rather cryptic reply:

"The constitution sets qualification for the president. And then the people decide who they think would be the better president."

"The constitution sets qualification for the president."? That's his answer? Bill Clinton made this reference to the Constitution shortly after America's latest fad, the "community organizer" from Chicago, popped up out of nowhere only to steal his wife's destiny by winning, in rather sleazy fashion (including the shameless playing of "the race card"), the Democrat party's nomination for President.

It has been my opinion since that time that the Clintons know something, and that it was they who quite deliberately fanned the flames of controversy over Obama's birth. Remember, it was Philadelphia lawyer Philip Berg, a prominent campaign-fund bundler for Hillary Clinton, who launched *the first* Obama eligibility lawsuit. That lawsuit was filed in August of 2008, shortly after Bill Clinton made his curious reference to the Constitution when asked if he thought Obama was qualified to be President. Coincidental timing? Sure it was.

No, the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms never vetted Obama. Why would they? Everything anybody wanted to know about Obama they could read in his two autobiographies, so... what's to vet? Despite the forged documents, the white-washed personal history, and even old campaign literature that claimed Obama was born in Kenya, the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms are happy to simply take the word of their African communist president - - on everything.
