Jusr in time. A sacrificial lamb for the Beghazi slaughter

[Deadwood]

Hillary, what have you done? The Secretary of State is taking one up the tail pipe for "the cause", just in time for the debate, where Obama was set to have his head torn off over a lack of security in Libya where four Americans were assassinated.

Politically it is a brilliant move as, on the surface of it, it takes the heat off Obama on the issue.

Here it is:


Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the buck stops with her when it comes to who is to blame for security ahead of a deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
"I take responsibility" for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru, for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, was the first she has given about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Clinton insisted President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are not involved in security decisions.
"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha," she added, noting that it is close to the election.

There's only one problem though. Ultimately the president is responsible for the actions of all of is cabinet. As Harry S. Truman stated "The buck stops here."

So, if it was the screw up its looking like, does he fire Hillary? Or does he let a woman carry his freight. My bvet is the lazy coward will hide behind her skirts and try to slither out of this one.

Got to hand it to the DNC, this was perfectly timed. Any sooner, which it should have been in fact, and there'd be some time for momentum oif indignation to get rolling and any later and it would look like a cop out.

In fact it does rather look like a cop out.

Hillary; whore for the party.

Who'd a thunk

[Calypso Jones]

Somebody has been made a biiiiig promise.

[GrassrootsConservative]

Holy shit can we just fire Odumba yet? I know enough people want to.

[roadmaster]

It's going to look stupid if Obama goes on TV and blames Hillary.

[Captain Obvious]

It's going to look stupid if Obama goes on TV and blames Hillary.

Exactly - especially when it was anticipated. They've been talking about this tactic for a while.

Firing Hillary?


Oh that works three weeks ahead of the election.

Why not just throw in the towel?

But, its not like she's accomplished anything, so I guess they have reason.

[head of joaquin]

The better explanation is the freakin' conservatives like Ryan who voted to cut funding for embassy security.

But the budget didn't pass- for the last 4 years....

Fail.

[Peter1469]

What the regime has done to Clinton was put her into a position where she either falls on her sword for the regime or she turns on them and is forever known as destroying Obama's re-election hopes.

Masterful politics.

That about sums it up.

But bet on Bill getting even. He and Hill may be on the outs, but he's gonna get Obama for this..

And, ah, what fucking budget. The psycho concentration camp cat is blathering about some budget funds while the administration has ADMITTED they dropped the ball.

In fucking credible bullshit.


Where's shaarona, at least there's a relationship to reality with her...this fur ball is living on another planet

But, but, but the Vienna Embassy got a charging station for their new fleet of Chevy Volts.


Priorities dufus priorities.

Is there any service station near Vienna that can service a Volt? Or will they have to fly their cars back to the states for maintenance.....

Great question.

The volt is a pig. They have no idea what the battery life might be, have no idea of replacement costs and have no plan for manufacturing them on any mass scale. At best the volt is an experimental Edsel with no half life.

So where to you get them fixed?

[The Little Dictator]

I can't understand why she's doing this. Strategically, it's stupid if she wants to run for prez in '16.

But maybe she doesn't want to.

[Trinnity]

I'd sure like to know why she's doing this.

[Canadianeye]

I'd sure like to know why she's doing this.

The stakes are high and she is one of the most devoted Progs on the planet. There has been a buzz for about a year, that liberalism is on the societal chopping block (which is why you see them doubling down and getting militantly radical), and that buzz is getting stronger.

She took one for the big team.

Regarding todays debate, Obama could very well try to appear magnanimous, put the hit on his shoulders and off of Hillary.

Hillariites would love it. The press would love it and run with it.

[Trinnity]

There's a lot going on behind the scenes. Read about it.

Obama White House Sharpens Blade Upon The Neck Of Clinton State Department
(http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/10/14/obama-white-house-sharpens-blade-upon-the-neck-of-clinton-state-department/)
A highly defensive and finger pointing David Axelrod pushed off claims President Obama knew the real story of the Benghazi Massacre before the president and his administration repeatedly told the American people and members of Congress otherwise. The question now appears to be who within the State Department will be given up as the sacrifricial lamb – all in the effort to insulate Barack Obama himself from any and all responsibility for the deaths of four Americans - including the first U.S. ambassador to be killed since the Carter administration.

[DonGlock26]

Hillary must resign then. The buck stops with her and four Americans are dead because of Obama admin recklessness.

[garyo]

What a dirtbagging troll.

[coolwalker]

I wonder how many times Hillary threw up after being told what her choices were. Look at pics of Bill and check out his fists to see if he has hit any walls lately.

[Trinnity]

Hillary must resign then. The buck stops with her and four Americans are dead because of Obama admin recklessness.She said she takes responsibility. It's just words; doesn't mean anything.

Apparently no maintenance here either. What a joke and right before the debate tonight.


A123 Systems Inc. (AONE), the electric car battery maker that received a $249.1 million federal grant, filed for bankruptcy protection and said it would sell its automotive business assets to Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI)
.........................

President Barack Obama called A123’s CEO Vieau and then- Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm during a September 2010 event celebrating the opening of the plant in Livonia that the company received the U.S. grant to help build.
“This is about the birth of an entire new industry in America -- an industry that’s going to be central to the next generation of cars,” Obama said in the phone call, according to a transcript provided by the White House. “When folks lift up their hoods on the cars of the future, I want them to see engines and batteries that are stamped: Made in America.”
..........................

A123 has posted at least 14 straight quarterly losses. Its shares had fallen 85 percent this year to 24 cents as of yesterday’s close in New York.

42 months of losses, don't that mean the O administration knew they were losing and still granted the money ??

[Peter1469]

In the same sentence Hillary accepted responsibility, but it was those security guys who made the call.... :wink:
