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.

This worked once. So I wouldn't put it past them to try it on a bigger scale.

Yes, you may be right, but according to some, Hillary is trying to bloody us Obama so that he will lose and she can run again in 2012. The woman is a vindictive Bitch, do you think she could ever act like Romney and just drop out like a normal person? Hell no! The woman is a vindictive witch.

I agree with you; I don’t fear that either. Let the chips fall.

Eric, Beckel would not have put his story into play if he was not really sure about it.

Good Lord, he is a superdelegate.

Especially since it is known worldwide that Mrs. Clinton is now DESPERATE.

The Dems are not stupid—they know they have a big problem with Obama in the GE. But they cannot dump him without a very good reason that will keep Blacks on board. This could well be the ticket.

In the past week I’ve heard Rush and Hannity elude to a video that exists of Michelle O. going off on the white folks from the podium of the Trinity church . Could this be it ??

The movement away from Obama within democrat circles is because of his anti-White image. Regardless of whether it’s known the GOP is behind this, it can serve to solidify that perception. I don’t see enough changing their course on this simply because of GOP “dirty tricks”. It’s too damaging an issue, and simply reinforces what they already believe.

As for “Whitey” vs. “Why’d he”, people will hear what they want to hear.

Color me skeptical. We can't keep secrets that should remain secret under wraps in this country for more than three days.

Even if there is a damaging a video of Michelle, he'll just throw her under the bus like he has everyone else who has become a problem.

Might not have been Barry’s idea to run for pres so soon. He’s got someone/something behind him pulling his strings.

Whatever if is. Beckel is convinced that it will make Hillary Clinton the candidate. He was asked is this something bigger than a college thesis, and his response was, Oh Yes, in a BIG way.

I believe you are correct. Besides McCain is going to need all those disenfranchised Hillary supporters to be Obama.

There was a post here about a week ago (can’t locate it now, unfortunately) where Hillary was quoted as saying something like Obama’s campaign will be toast eight days from now. And when I did the (simple) math in my head at the time, the eight days would have landed on either June 3 or 4. And tomorrow is June 4.

-- That was just a poster joking and speculationg how the Obama campaign would explain it all away. --

From the research and reading I've done on the origination and massaging of this rumor, the "why'd he" explanation first came from somebody at Kos.

I find the interest in "who found it" and "who's withholding it" to be fascinating. Objective people like to get accurate raw information, regardless of the motives or affiliations of the sources.

Read this: Obama interview transcript - 2004. It's Obama in Obama's words. He claims to be a "mainstream Christian," and explains what that means to him.

I saw it and was stunned, as Beckel has been very fair to both Dems over the last few months, IMO. He has not endorsed either so far.

The thing about this is Dems believe that Obama is a better candidate, and they are wrong. They can’t be objective abut this. They think Hill is so hated by Repubs that she is weaker, but I think that is only half-right. All of the recent polls show her doing better in a McCain contest.
