Libya Cover-Up: Hillary Clinton Throws Obama Under His Own Benghazi Bus

Posted on | October 14, 2012 | 51 Comments

The Benghazi blame game has been going on for more than a month since the Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Last week there were signals that Team Obama was trying to make Hillary Clinton’s State Department the scapegoat, but anybody who knows the Clintons could have predicted she wasn’t going to take the fall. Today, Hillary struck back:

A confusing array of contradictions concerning the murders of four Americans, one of which was a U.S. ambassador, was made worse by Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks during the debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan Thursday evening.
Today the confusion only worsened yet again when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters that her agency was not the source of misinformation concerning the attacks, charging instead that the White House was the source of the false mantra that the murders were spurred by an anti-Muslim film made in the  United States.
Clinton told reporters that when Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made her rounds on every Sunday morning news show to claim the film motivated the attacks, the information had been fed to her by the White House and not the intelligence community in the State Department or the CIA.
Not only does Clinton’s statement contradict early White House accounts but directly contradicts statements made by Vice President Biden during the debate.

If Obama thinks he’s gonna throw Hillary Clinton under his bus, he’s going to find out the hard way his bus ain’t big enough. He’s not looking too good in the polls lately — even PPP has him trailing Romney in Florida now — and rather than playing the Good Soldier in his doomed re-election campaign, why shouldn’t Hillary kick off her 2016 campaign by helping expose Obama’s bungling? And here’s a good laugh for you:

Axelrod defends White House on Libya,
says Romney seeking to ‘exploit’ issue

Oh, sure, like David Axelrod never exploited an issue . . .

    I’d take all this internecine warfare stuff a lot more seriously if Obama and Hillary weren’t both Democrats. Does anyone seriously expect this to get much play in the mainstream media in the run-up to the election?

    That might not matter, save one small detail: Obama is depending on Bubba for his political survival.

    And when it comes to surviving, Bubba and Billary are ruthless. If Billary wants another shot at the White House in 2016 (where Bubba gets to hire the interns), I have little doubt that this will be in the media.

    The threat of such might entice President Zero to throw one of his people under the bus. Axelrod, mayhaps. But not Valerie.

    In any event, it’s popcorn time!

    Nope – you will never hear about this in the MSM (at least not before the election) but there are millions of people who turn to Fox News and other Conservative media where it will be reported and thank God that we now have the internet. Just keep forwarding it on and on……it will get out

    Since Axelrod has never uttered a truthful sentence in his entire life, I’m sure Obama regards him as essential personnel. They’ve already designated the idiot boy Clapper who publicly claimed to have supplied the bogus story on the video being the cause, but the public record is also clear he was lying because NO SOURCE on the ground or the survivors or the video cameras EVER said anything about a protest in Benghazi.

    The question is, will he go quietly – if there is any indication he will talk, they don’t dare fire him.

    Slow Joe has screwed them by overtly pointing the finger at Hillary. But she only denied being the source of the false story Rice and the White House were peddling, she hasn’t commented directly on who turned down the requests for more security. That’s the real crux of it: the lies are important, but refusing the security got our people killed.

    Mr. Obama forgets that the Clintons know how to drive the political bus, but also could destroy his career if they wish.

    Some of those missing Obama records on things like, oh, Law School, could come out to play if he decides to try and pull a Grover Cleveland.

    The question I have been wanting ANY journalist to ask when a member of the administration says “the intelligence community” initially told them that the Benghazi massacre was the result of a protest gone amok is “which agency?”. I want someone from the administration to simply name the agency that told them that. They don’t need to cite the intelligence itself, just the agency that told them that.

    The thought that Hillary Clinton has a bigger political “bus” to drive than Obama is a ridiculous mischaracterization. It should be obvious even to a political neophyte that Hillary is driving one of those Lima, Ohio made M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks when it comes to her response to Obama.

    Hillary was born in Chicago. She didn’t move to New York until she decided to run for Senate.

    She gave up her chance to be a Chicago insider when she married Bill and moved to Arkansas, but what she knows about politics she learned up there.

    Obama is a carpetbagger adopted by da Windy City mob because he might be useful — and he was, for a while. I’m thinking maybe Chicago has about decided to cut its losses.

    Not even Obama’s Chicago machine has a chance against the Hillary Hellion. When it comes to Machiavellian, political maneuvering, even the Chicago-trained Barack Obama and team are the rankest of amateurs compared to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Anyone who thinks for a fleeting second that Hillary Clinton is going to fall on her sword for Obama over the Benghazi attack is living in a choom-clouded lala land.

    If President Obama is wondering why the grounds are shifting beneath his feet, he can first read the polls and then take a look at the rug he’s standing on – because Hillary and husband Bill are starting to yank it out.

    If the White House doesn’t back off, Hillary will drop a nuke on them. My prediction on how is here: http://senseofevents.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-rug-beneath-obamas-feet.html.

    Short course: Hillary. Issa. End of game.

    Just have to love all the spin out there. As if lil’Stacy hasn’t exploited an issue for personal gain and satisfaction. In reading the sources, the information provided was given NOT by Hilary herself, but State Department aides…allegedly! So it is inaccurate reporting to claim that she made those statements DIRECTLY. Wet dreams, my friends, wet dreams.

    There are rumors in Washington that Obama wanted an October surprise and planned to have the Ambassador kidnapped, so he could play the hero and save him. Things didn’t go as planned. They had the “offensive video” claim ready so as to be prepared to make it seem like it wasn’t an act of war. It is a romor, even a theory. But it really the only thing that actually makes sense up to now. The Muslim Brotherhood recieving millions prior to the attack, the prepared video statements, The administrations refusal to send more security, and the endless cover up, why? Both Hillary and Obama look a mess lately. Obama looked sooo guilty at the debate.

    I originally posted that Hillary would run over Obama’s team with a tank, not a bus. Today, Hillary stated, “I take responsibility,” in relation to the Benghazi Attacks. I agree with many who are calling this a “the buck stops here” statement. It puts Hillary in the position of responsibility, maturity, and authority over her boss. I think I heard a few “bumps in the road” as the tank treads rolled over the adminiatration.

    10/16 – Seems as if Hillary laid down for the bus to roll over her. I wonder what the machine has on her that she would take the fall for Obama – who came up with the policy to strip Ambassador Stevens and Benghazi of what little security it had?
