Bob Beckel says Bombshell is heading Michele Obama's way. (Vanity)
Fox & FRiends ^ | 05/03/08 | mware

Posted on 06/03/2008 5:02:24 AM PDT by mware

If any of you had the opportunity to watch Fox & FRiends this morning, you probably saw Bob Beckel being interviewed about todays political events.

Towards the end of the interview he announced to the Fox & FRiends hosts that he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.

So the die is cast, IMHO Hillary will suspend her campaign within the next 24 hours and then the bomb will drop, leaving the Republics to take the blame.

Beckel said that this will make Hillary the candidate. Whatever is on that tape (if it is a tape)it must be a beaut.

Beckel said, during the broadcast, that his contract with FoxNews included a clause that he would not publicly take a side as between Hillary! and Obama. This clause is supposed to make him an "objective commentator." He also said he voted for one or the other, but won't disclose which.

The hosts at Fox'n'Friends are feigning ignorance. They know darn well what the rumor mill has been churning. Tease it up for viewership!

Of course she will. After tonight, the primaries are over.

“He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.”

How in the wide, wide world of sports are they going to blame the Repubs?! The powers that be in this party don’t have enough intestinal fortitude to blow out a candle, much less confront a Demonrat with TRUTH. With so much angst b/tw Hilliary and “O-bomb-a”, Beckel is dreaming, hoping, praying that they’ll(Republicans)be blamed.

Dr. I agree with you.

This is pure Clinton.

Suspend but do not exit the race. Wait for the story to break, blame the Republicans and take the nomination in Denver.

IMO, there is NOT A THING that Michelle “Hussein’s-Wife” Obama could do to make her husband unelectable. The Liberals and their racist slaves would accept a murdering, philandering, bi-sexual over a not-quite-Conservative any day.

Hillary probably sent the tape to Scotty McClellan for release. “Let’s get Scotty, he’ll do anything”

Just more twisted crap. I saw an explanation on FR yesterday, though I can’t find it now. Michele O was taped yelling about Bush (I think). And she kept saying stuff like “Why’d he go to war? Why’d he lie about WMD? Why’d he get us into this mess?” And the troublemakers are simply spreading it around that when she was saying “Why’d he,” she was saying “Whitey.” As in “Whitey lie to us!”

Exactly. But waiting until October is too late. Release it within 72 hours after Obama receives the nomination.

There is no way that the Dems can throw Obama under the bus at this stage no matter what his wife might say on the tape, if it exists. Blacks are their most loyal constituency. "Stealing" the nomination from the black guy will have far reaching consequences not only for this election but for many more to come. The Dems want to be the home party for all minorities who will be the majority by 2050. Far better to lose this election than jeopardze their future prospects.

For now, the Dems are between a Barack and a hard place.

Pleeeeeaaase!

Bekel is a rigid liberal partisan (duh), and I don’t trust him.

BUT...Obama has kept Michelle completely out of sight since the Repub ad about “first time proud”, and perhaps they knew something more was out there.

This sounds TOO good for this cynic. I’m not holding my breath, but I’ll be watching.

That’s another common misperception about Barry. He never was a professor, just a lecturer.

Any bets on the Hillary announcement? Quit or suspend campaign?

Beckel promised Fox News that he would not announce who he was supporting until after the last primary.

His tone over the last few months have swung towards both candidates.

He was really ticked that Obama was not fully vetted when the Wright story broke.

“He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.” If Repubs were behind this, I don’t think it would have come out now. I think clinton is behind it. Perhaps she sent it to Repubs to hide her manipulations.

After thinking more about this, I've come to the same conclusion. He's acting as point man, giving blame to the GOP for what Clinton is going to unleash. OTOH, the rumor mill has also had the tape in the possession of the GOP. But I can't see them being so politically naive as to release it now. August would be far better.

-- It will not matter what it is, Obama is and will be the nominee. --

Obama's lead is slim to none, and his momentum is negative. It won't take much to push the race in Hillary!'s favor.

Just my opinion, of course. The Democrats are stupid enough to prop Obama up this far -- they need something that will rattle the public if they are to shift their preference.

Beckel is a liar and an idiot. it makes no sense for Republicans to drop something this big at this time. Why not wait for it until it is of use to them?

Because Hillary is behind it all. She has just managed to make it look like the work of the Republicans. Remember, she's a Klinton.

I don’t like Beckel and don’t trust him, however he is the first democrat to bring this up as far as I know. I think it gives the story more credibilty, but this could just be wishful thinking on my part. Something needs to save us from the Manchurian Candidate.

This should be fun, look at the timing, Hilde drops out today or early tomorrow, the Obamao will be in Minneapolis speaking at the facility that “we” will hold our National Convention at, and out comes Whiteygate on the day he tries to usurp the RNC’s Convention Facility....

Niice...

Beckel is a opportunist, no more, no less, I really cannot listen to the man because he almost NEVER says a single thing that is interesting to hear....
