Obama Clinton Rift Over Libya – The End?

2008 was Hillary’s year. Remember that? Bill and Hillary put in all that time together so that she could be the first female President. And then this guy came along . . . A guy who they gave a break to. A guy who should be carrying their bags. When talking about Obama’s first run, Bill Clinton said “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.” — Jan. 7, 2008, addressing Obama’s record on Iraq during a New Hampshire stop.

Will the death of a U.S. Ambassador (since it was an act of terror within an existing war between Radical Islam and U.S. led Christian Democracy I won’t call it a murder) cause the final rift in the compromise relationship between Clinton and Obama? That’s what some pundits are suggesting.

The Obama White House seems intent on putting the blame for the lack of security at the U.S. facility in Benghazi on Hillary and the State Dept. (instead of the dysfunctional NSC they created when they made a political hack, Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviser http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/24/us/politics/tom-donilon-a-manager-of-overseas-crises.html?pagewanted=all after firing a truly great American and well qualified former U.S. Marine Commandant). Breitbart has a good discussion of the situation http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/12/Obama-Clinton-Rift-Over-Libya-Threatens-Obama-Re-election but this analysis by Ambassador Bolton really hits the target in this interview http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1897634548001/.

Look for the Libya defeat and cover-up news story to grow. The Obama administration (Valarie Jarrett his defacto Chief of Staff) tries not to make boot mistakes, so the attempt to whitewash the attack in Libya surely means there is more their than meets the eye – and it’s getting to be too juicy a story for even the mainstream media to ignore. Look for it to grow as they connect the dots between Obama’s missed security briefings, his unqualified national security staff, their ridiculous claims that a bunch of speeches have tamed the world, and the amateurish cover-up attempt.

Valarie Jarret’s Achiles heel has always been that she thinks you can throw the military, the intelligence community, and the democrat party (led by Bill Clinton, let’s be serious) under the bus because they are afraid to cross Obama. His performance failure at the first debate put a chill in everyone’s spine – he is not infalliable and he could lose – and despite the rallied support of pundits and such for the Biden debate, it isn’t clear Bill has Obama’s back.

Let’s remember, without Bill the DNC was a bust http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/10/obama-convention-bounce_n_1870087.html. What happens to Obama if Bill Clinton stops lending him his support?
