Hillary Clinton: throwing Obama under the bus — 37 Comments

  1. Per Bill’s advice, she is trying to get around one of her biggest problems. Electing her would be Obama’s third term.

  2. Cornhead,

    Partially agree but I wouldn’t discount the possibility that rather than just fulfill a third Obama term, she couldn’t eclipse Obama. Don’t underestimate her intelligence or mendaciousness. Just because she’s not a good politician doesn’t mean she’s not a good hater nor cunning in her use of that hate. Reportedly, the most hated detail among the Secret Service was being on Hillary’s protective detail. Evidently she was highly and repeatedly abusive toward the agents charged with her protection. Perhaps ‘vindictive’ describes her better than any other quality.

  3. The “attention span and reasoning power” of the average LIV is a reflection of the ‘filters’ with which they have been indoctrinated by academia and the media.

  4. Please don’t ever forget her “speech by the coffins” on the tarmac at Andrews Air Force base on 9/14/2014.

    In case anyone was on the [former] planet Pluto and might have missed it, go here, start at 6:12 and listen for 1 minute or so. I expect at some point before 1/1/2016 this video will be taken down.

    They’re going to try to make you forget this.

  5. Well said, Neo.

    I would speculate that she had made some sort of agreement that in exchange for Obama giving her the opportunity for getting foreign policy experience for a 2016 run, Hillary would go along with his policies (and not resign in protest). Win-win. Except that Obama seems to be supporting Warren, and Hillary is now criticizing him. May they both be brought down by this.

    Carl in Atlanta – If I had millions I would make an ad of that Hillary moment – probably the angriest I’ve ever been at a politician – and just run it on all channels for the next year. Her constantly referring to Amb. Stevens as Chris, blaming the video (which was an obvious lie even then) and the little story about locals holding signs apologizing for the attack is vomit-inducing.

  6. You have the little malignant Lambchop nailed, N-Neo.

    What is she?? ‘She ain’t nuthin’ but an appetite.’
    That was the disgusting Rev. Jesse’s summation of her Billy Boy during the Democrat Primary season of ’92. Yep, Revrund, it sho’nuff takes one to know one,’Yo, don’t it?

  7. Same routine as Sec’y of State as when she was FLOTUS. She’ll “stand by her man” just so long as it’s politically expedient for her.

  8. I remember the first time I ever listened to Hillary Clinton–the 60 Minute interview “Look, I’m not some Tammy Wynette standing by my man baking cookies, here.” I immediately thought, these people are nothing but oily politicians. For the sake of our country, I wish I wasn’t right about that.

  9. Carl in Atlanta. You meant that this speech was in 2012, not 2014. Her speaking here is an excellent example of her certain promotion of the lie about the “awful Internet video”. Thank you for the link.

  10. Slick Willy and HRC have a deep hatred for the messiah as he denied her the title of first female president. But they knew they had to play nice when the msm fell in puppy love with mister tingle up the leg. So making the best of the situation the Clintons bargained in order to put sos on her resume. Bho wanted the public image of solidarity with the old guard of the party and Bill stumping for him on the campaign trail. We should remember that Bill was very effective during the 2012 campaign.

    Now that some of the msm infatuation has dimmed, and bho’s ‘foreign policy brilliance’ has started to open a lot of startled eyes, the Clintons can begin the process of inserting the messiah under the bus. They are wooing the msm into switching alligence. And I suspect the msm will come to the conclusion that utopia is still possible with the right leader, the first female president.

  11. ALL morbidly interested in HRC are encouraged to read Ed Klein’s recent book, “Blood Feud”. The whole squalid bunch made me very tired.

    Anyone here love Hillary’s “laughter” when she lets loose?! How’bout that faux, rash causing Black accent when talking down to an auditorium full of black folks,’Yo?!

  12. Maybe if Hillary keeps talking in this hawkish/neoconish way, Bernie Sanders will throw his hat in the ring. Wouldn’t beat her for the nomination, but his very run could bring her much grief by drawing off the anti-war folks and depressing their vote for her in the general election.

    The Washington Post has a piece on him today.

  13. Most of my objections regarding a woman President center around most women’s inability to send men and women into harm’s way, when knowing it’s a death sentence. A President has to be able to make the ‘impossible’ calls, when the only choice is between really bad and… even worse.

    IMO, the two most prominent women who could, if necessary, make that call are Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. It’s not Hillary’s tough mindedness I doubt, its her allegiance to Marxism and personal maliciousness that disqualifies her for the office.

    Interestingly, Robin Williams had something to say about putting women in charge; “If women ran the world we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.”

  14. Bill and/or Hillary are smart enough to have known that Obama is utterly incompetent – they saw him up close and personal. The world simply does not work the way he thinks it does. So why did Hillary agree to be his Secretary of State? Did she think this would work out well? Did she think it would leave her unscathed? Did she think to herself, “what difference, at this point, does it make”. It is a mystery to me.

  15. GB funny line by Robin Williams but a probable methodology to be used by Elizabeth (granny) Warren.
    She has the absurd academic attitude ( & neo pointed it out) THAT, Isis & Iran & hunted religious minorities can reach a negotiated settlement ! Because of course there is no real evil in the world just mis understood people !

  16. MollyNH,

    I’m uncertain as to whether Warren actually believes that or is just speaking to her base to generate enthusiasm for her political ambitions. Or she may think that her ‘solution’ can work in 98% of the cases and in the ones where groups have ‘mistakenly’ embraced evil and are ‘unenlightened’ enough to ‘cling to it’ that ostracism by the world would be a viable strategy for dealing with it.

    But regardless of how divorced from reality Warren may actually be, all isms of the left are, to one degree or another, forms of rejection of reality. And denial of reality is at base, denial of personal responsibility and accountability.

  17. Retail Lawyer:

    I speculated a bit on that here (2009) and here (2012):

    It was puzzling when Hillary agreed to become Obama’s Secretary of State after all the seeming bad blood between them back in 2008. But perhaps the explanation is that there was a “you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours” agreement between them. Hillary would get to burnish her resume with one thing it seemed to lack, significant foreign policy experience (Secretary of State isn’t usually an entry-level job for that, but so be it). Now that it’s been sufficiently polished–and she has carefully stayed away from getting too caught up in the Benghazi fracas, leaving Susan Rice in the position of being the administration’s Benghazi shill rather than the more obviously responsible Hillary–she’s ready. After obediently doing his bidding as Secretary of State, as well as husband Bill going on the stump and lending his formidable campaign skills to help re-elect Obama, the bargain is that in 2016 Obama will return the favor by anointing her his successor and campaigning for her.

    Obviously I don’t have any inside info; that’s all speculation on my part. But it’s the one thing that makes sense to me in terms of why Hillary agreed to be Secretary of State, and Obama’s lackey, in the first place. If so, it was a canny move.

    Of course, even if that was the deal between them, there was never any guarantee that Obama wouldn’t renege on it. But why would he, and what else has he got to do? Being the elder (although younger-than-Hillary) statesman helping to elect the next Democratic president to carry on his legacy and glorify his reputation could be appealing to him at that point, and although there are those who think Michelle Obama might want the job of president instead of Hillary, he is probably too realistic to believe that a complete political neophyte who has never held any elective office could win, even if she is his wife.

  18. if his policy was so bad, why didn’t you resign earlier with a public statement of how you disagreed and why, when it might have made a difference?

    to avoid the obscurity which is worse than the downside of that

    How do you explain the depth of your own betrayal and hypocrisy?

    you dont

  19. as far as what is going on..
    read catechism of the revolutionary, its covered in that.

    your useful till you aint, and there is no sentimentality
    and you have help until you dont…

    many times a convert did so when they dropped and the whole of the behavior changes towards them, and the wtf moment grabs hold.

    tsun tsu explains it too.

    all war is deception

    when strong appear weak
    when weak appear strong
    when close appear far
    when far appear close

    and of course, who picks who to support?
    thats who calls the shots, not who benefits from it.

  20. neo & retail lawyer:

    By dint of the election finance laws and practice and custom:

    By becoming Secretary of State ALL of Hillary’s previous (massive) campaign debts were washed away.

    She no longer had to pay a cent.

    Look it up.

    This HUGE NUT stood between Hillary and ANY FUTURE CAMPAIGNING.

    By dint of law and custom, she’d have to dedicate ALL of any of her future campaign funding to retiring this old slug of debt.

    By becoming the Sec State the ‘system’ paid off her debts. I forget the purse, but in the essentials: her electioneering mechanics were promptly paid off by the US Government consequent to her being approved by the Senate.

    IIRC, the monies come out of the $1 check off — and there’d be plenty, since lord Barry didn’t tap any of them.

    Take a wild guess which political bodies slipped this gifting mechanism into the public finance provisions of electioneering.

    Bill, of course, drove the calculus. Hillary didn’t see the play: Bill did. He knew that her staggering debts would sink her political future. She’d gone into the hole at over a million dollars a day towards the end.

    Yiikes.

  21. neo writes: “Hillary being Hillary, she’d have various lines of spin with which to answer. ‘Obama’s policies only got really bad after I left.’ ‘I did protest and differ; just more privately’ (which she more or less says in the Goldberg interview).”

    Welllll . . . hmmmmm . . . how ’bout . . .

    “What difference, at this point, does it make??”

    [screeching]

    It’s all the spin she needs. Enough of the people enough of the time . . .

  22. Rightly or wrongly (wrongly, IMO), recent history has suggested likability is the deciding factor in presidential elections.
    And that’s Hillary’s! Achilles’ heel. She’s not well-liked, even on the left.

    I’m not that worried about her.

  23. Clinton was only offered the job in Obama’s cabinet to ensure she wouldn’t run against Obama in 2012. She got nothing in return. Nothing.

  24. Ymarsakar:

    I was very worried about the left in 2007. The anger and hatred for Bush, and the 2006 elections, made me very worried (heck, I was very worried in 2004 that Kerry would win).

    As for Obama, I don’t think I was worried at the outset of his campaign. But I was worried long before he was elected, because I thought he would win and I thought he was a leftist. I hoped I was wrong, but it had become quite clear by this point and even somewhat earlier.

  25. YW, She got a star on her msm homework; all the she lacked was the tingle up the leg and sharply creased pantsuits.

    Neo, How could you not know the messiah was not hard left?Was that not plain as day going back to his days in the Illinois senate?

  26. parker:

    DId you read what I wrote? I compared him to Hugo Chavez, saying I thought he was not just soft left, but hard:

    I think it’s even worse than that, however: I’ve noticed Obama showing signs of being at least somewhat simpatico with hard socialism, of the Hugo Chavez type. We don’t know for sure (and I sincerely hope I am incorrect!), because we don’t really know what Obama is made of inside. His record is sparse, but what we see of it is far more to the hard Left than his current rhetoric would indicate.

  27. I tend to worry less about Hillary than Obama because, although she, too, is a leftist, I don’t think she harbors a deep-seated animus towards America, while Obama does.

  28. She does not realize that she does not yet stand much of a chance to become president, because … there wer studies done in the 1960s and 1970s that led to the conclusion that for white as well as black men in the US there are preferences: a ladder from “white man – black man – white woman – black woman”. No one will ever tell her but Obama was ahead of her from the start because subconscious voter preferences still won’t choose a woman over a man at least for a long while it seems.

  29. When HRC was offered and accepted the S’o’S post from Obama, I took it to mean that His Majesty had successfully debollocked both Clintons. They could have been out there snaking at their leisure, particularly Mr. Malignant Narcissist Billy. With Hillary high in the cabinet they were entirely muted. They, I figured, saw it as a “plus/win-win” for keeping her ‘in leadership’ and prominently newsworthy(cough)with a very popular(cough)president. Build-Up for later power.

    Gawd, what true slime they all are.

  30. The quoted section I had was from Matt, so I’m not sure why Neo was responding to it, although the answer isn’t a problem with me.
