Hillary and Co. are in full court cover up mode. For five long weeks they went out of their way to advance a knowingly false narrative without either concern for or outrage over "four dead Americans" (You know, Hillary, they do have names: Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods). Hillary in particular will hide her negligence, incompetence and disdain for the truth behind the dead bodies of Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods for as long as it takes.
0bama is a war criminal who signs executive orders that result in the WEEKLY "collateral damage" deaths of defenseless African and Middle Eastern children - none of them White, by the way - via drone bombings. Hillary's negligence and disregard for the officially documented security concerns of American military and diplomatic personnel in a known hotbed of Islamic extremism overseas caused their senseless deaths, despite the soon-to-be former Secretary of State's shrill rhetoric and tone during last week's congressional hearings on the Benghazi massacre. The 0bama/Hillary media sycophants as well as their mindless enablers on the ground are not interested in the truth if it makes politicians like Hillary and 0bama look like the negligent and incompetent liars that they are. We have come along way from Watergate, a cover up where no Americans were murdered and at a time when citizens, politicians and the media as a whole knew better than to run cover for the President of the United States or members of his Cabinet who were engaged in perjury and obstruction of justice.
"No one wants to find out what happened more than I do."
~ Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reacting to the damning evidence that the State Department and the White House knew the seriousness of the situation in Benghazi in real time and failed to respond. Is Hillary implying that she wants to find out what happened in Benghazi even more than Barack 0bama does? Hmmmm ...
BTW, didn't the State Department and the White House themselves "cherry pick" one version of the events that precipitated the Benghazi massacre over another? They deliberately went with the version that the attack stemmed from a protest that never took place as opposed to the version that it was a planned attack with definite terrorist ties.
January 27/12:10 PM US/Eastern by Mathew Lee Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Financial documents filed by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton show that her husband earned nearly $6 million in speaking fees last year, nearly all of it from foreign companies.
The documents obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press indicate that $5 million of the former president's reported $5.7 million in 2008 honoraria came from foreign sources. They included Kuwait's National Bank, a Hong Kong-based company, and other firms and groups in Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, Mexico and Portugal.
"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."
-- Hillary Clinton's now infamous "sniper fire" and oft previously repeated whopper. The claim was proven false when video news footage of her visit to Bosnia surfaced. No sniper fire, no running with her head down. Only children and meaningless officials present.
"There is no crisis to be dealt with or managed when you are first lady. You don't get that kind of experience by being married to a commander in chief."
-- Obama adviser Susan Rice mocking Hillary Clinton's claim of foreign policy experience during the heated Democratic presidential primary last March.
"What exactly is this foreign policy experience? Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no."
-- Barack Obama, also during the bitter Democratic primary in March.
WASHINGTON -- It wasn't too long ago that Barack Obama and his advisers were tripping over one another to tear down Hillary Rodham Clinton's foreign policy credentials. She was dismissed as a commander in chief wanna-be who did little more than sip tea and make small talk with foreign leaders during her days as first lady.
"What exactly is this foreign policy experience?" Obama said mockingly of the New York senator. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no."
That was in March, when Clinton was Obama's sole remaining rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Now, Clinton is on track to become Obama's secretary of state.
And, unsurprisingly, the sniping at her foreign policy credentials is a thing of the past.
Obama adviser William Daley over the weekend said Clinton would be "a tremendous addition to this administration. Tremendous."
Senior adviser David Axelrod called Clinton a "demonstrably able, tough, brilliant person."
Last spring, though, Clinton was targeted with a steady stream of criticism via conference call, e-mail and campaign-trail digs from the Obama camp, all aimed at shredding her self-portrait as an experienced and confident leader on the international stage. Some of those doing the sniping will be taking up key positions _ most likely along with Clinton _ in the new Obama administration.
Liberal hypocrisy time and time again in full display as Clinton retreads and Obama rookies intermarry during the president-elect's redneck wedding transition. Talk about the worst of both worlds!
"It's amazing, you know, she's been thrust into the national spotlight with very little preparation and I think that, all things considered, you saw a very composed and effective debater last night."
-- Jilted running mate Hillary Clinton on Sarah Palin's vice presidential debate performance.
It looks like Bill is not the only Clinton trying to undermine the liberal Obamafraud/Hair Plugs presidential ticket. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
"Make no mistake about this. Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."
--Joe Biden, at a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, today, on Obama's running mate pick
"Barack Obama’s most important decision of this election and Biden - the candidate he selects - suggests himself that he wasn’t the right man for the job and that Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice. Biden certainly has a credible viewpoint on this."
In the shadow of the blatant and truly stunning sexism launched against the Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, and as a pro-choice feminist, I wasn't the only one thrilled to hear Republican John McCain announce Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
For the GOP, she bridges for conservatives and independents what I term "the enthusiasm gap" for the ticket.
For Democrats, she offers something even more compelling - a chance to vote for a someone who is her own woman, and who represents a party that, while we don't agree on all the issues, at least respects women enough to take them seriously.Whether we have a D, R or an "i for independent" after our names, women share a different life experience from men, and we bring that difference to the choices we make and the decisions we come to.
Having a woman in the White House, and not as The Spouse, is a change whose time has come, despite the fact that some Democratic Party leaders have decided otherwise. But with the Palin nomination, maybe they'll realize it's not up to them any longer. Clinton voters, in particular, have received a political wake-up call they never expected.
Having watched their candidate and their principles betrayed by the very people who are supposed to be the flame-holders for equal rights and fairness, they now look across the aisle and see a woman who represents everything the feminist movement claimed it stood for.
Women can have a family and a career. We can be whatever we choose, on our own terms. For some, that might mean shooting a moose. For others, perhaps it's about shooting a movie or shooting for a career as a teacher. However diverse our passions, we will vote for a system that allows us to make the choices that best suit us. It's that simple. [More]
That's what I have been saying for a long time now. Sexism is alive, well and thriving in the "progressive" Democratic Party. They ran Hillary out of town but now object to another woman taking the spotlight for no other reason than she is a conservative Republican.
"[Hillary] doesn't have the right to release us. We're not little kids to be told what to do in a half-hour." -- Disappointed and angry Massachusetts delegate Nancy Saboori after Hillary deserted, I mean released her delegates to shouts of "No!" from the convention floor.
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama, claiming a prize never held by a black American, swept to the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday as thousands of national convention delegates stood and cheered his improbable triumph.
Former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the convention delegates to make it unanimous "in the spirit of unity, with the goal of victory." And they did, with a roar.
Competing chants of "Obama" and "Yes we can" floated up from the convention floor as Obama's victory was sealed.
Obama was across town as the delegates he won in the primaries of winter and spring cast their votes. Aides left open the possibility that he would briefly visit the Pepsi Center to thank his supporters, a routine event at recent national conventions. His formal acceptance speech Thursday night was expected to draw a crowd of 75,000 at a nearby football stadium where an elaborate backdrop was under construction.
Clinton's call for Obama to be approved by acclamation - midway through the traditional roll call of the states - was the culmination of a painstaking agreement worked out between the two camps to present a unified front.
Theatrics, that's all. Hillary is allowed to save face and pretend to be the power broker. What a childish display. Obama and Hillary aren't fooling anyone, not even their own blind followers.
Delegates to the Democratic National Convention arrive in Denver having largely put aside the deep divisions of the primary fight between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, although some hold lingering concerns about Obama's level of experience, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.
More than half of the delegates that Clinton won in the primaries now say they are enthusiastic supporters of Obama, and they also believe he will win the presidential election in November, the poll found. Three in 10 say they support Obama but have reservations about him or they support him only because he is the party's nominee. Five percent say they do not support him yet.
The poll, which was taken before Obama selected Senator Joseph Biden Jr. of Delaware as his running mate, also suggests that Clinton's 1,640 pledged delegates are evenly split over whom they plan to vote for on the floor of the convention during the roll call vote on Wednesday evening.
There will be blood. The PUMAs are on the prowl, though. Obama didn't ingratiate himself any by dissing Hillary yet again when he picked Joe "The Mouth" Biden to be his running mate.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama told everyone he wanted a running mate who will challenge his thinking, and now he's got one. Joe Biden's tendency to speak his own mind—and speak and speak—is entwined in his DNA.
The loquacious Delaware senator brings more than verbiage to Obama's side. Biden is a foreign policy heavyweight with a decade longer in the Senate than the seasoned Republican presidential candidate, John McCain. That's almost three more decades of experience than his new boss.
In Washington, Biden, 65, is known as a collegial figure even when he's competitive—one who can spin flowery praise one moment and biting fulmination the next.
His second presidential campaign faltered early on, just one of the Democrats shunted to the sidelines as the bracing contest between Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton sucked the air out of the rest of the field.
The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden is one of the most influential foreign policy voices in Congress. An internationalist and strong supporter of the United Nations, he is a leading critic of what he sees as the vague, unilateralist approach of President Bush.
Biden voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq invasion, which Obama opposed from the start. Since then, he's become a firm critic of the conflict and pushed through a resolution last year declaring that Bush's troop increase—now considered a military success—was "not in the national interest."
Calling the Obamafraud "clean" and "articulate" must have done the trick.
Just on Tuesday this week, Biden told reporters "I'm not the guy" when reporters asked him if he would be Obama's running mate.
It will be interesting to see how the rabid liberal base of the Democratic Party reacts to an Obama running mate who has voted to authorize President George W. Bush to go to war with Iraq when it was politically convenient to do so and who now questions the unquestionable success of the troop surge in Iraq.
Biden is Hillary with hair plugs.
Biden is pompous and arrogant. It is a physics miracle that his ego and Obama's coexist in the same Universe.
And I can't wait to watch Biden's sure-to-come verbal diarrhea. [Update] A smart Democratic nominee-in-waiting would have picked Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, a "moderate" by liberal standards, as his running mate. But then again, the Obamessiah may have figured he would alienate Saint Hillary's supporters if he chose a female running mate other than the megalomaniacal former First Lady.
There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) to be his running mate – his former opponent,Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
But it’s not for the reason you think.
Obama has often said, most recently on NBC'S "Meet the Press” on July 27, that Clinton “would be on anybody’s short list.”
But apparently not his.
“She was never vetted,” a Democratic official reported. “She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it. How would he know if she’d take it?”
The official also said Clinton never met with Obama’s vetting team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy.
And the official said she was never asked for medical records or for any financial 2008 information about her or former President Bill Clinton. The last information the couple has disclosed about taxes and financial holdings was for 2007.
The Clintons also were not asked about donors to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library.
“This would be the biggest leap of faith ever,” the official said. “She’s waiting for the text message like everyone else.”
An Obama aide said "absolutely exhaustive research was done on her over the course of the 16 month primary. She was researched more closely than any candidate in history."
There will be blood. Hillary is not going to take this lying down, baby. If the Obamafraud keeps dissing Hillary, the last thing he is going to have to worry about is a phone call at three o'clock in the morning. The Obamafraud should have had the decency of at least letting Hillary know that she wasn't being considered and given her the reasons why. They are multiple. Watch your back, Obamafraud!
In an unusual move, Hillary Clinton's staff is creating a 40-member "whip team" at the Denver Democratic convention to ensure that her supporters don't engage in embarrassing anti-Obama demonstrations during the floor vote on her nomination, according to people familiar with the planning.
The team, which is being organized by longtime Clinton staffer Craig Smith, is working in conjunction with Obama's floor organizers to help foster the image of a unified front during a roll-call process Clinton herself has described as an emotional "catharsis" for her disappointed supporters.
"If people get down there on the floor and want to start blowing kazoos and making a scene we want to make sure we've got people who stand in front of them with Obama signs," said a person involved in the planning. (More)
Hillary and her minions have reached a new low. Now they are into suppressing the freedom of expression of their own supporters. I wonder if Hillary will follow through with her plan to throw her own worshippers under the bus now that it seems the Obamafraud has never even considered having her as his running mate.
Meanwhile, the Obamafraud vp choice bait-and-switch continues as a sycophantic "main stream" media drools in anticipation. The Obamafraud's vp pick has been "imminent" for a while.
I hope it's Joe Biden. It would be like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one delightful package.
"I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion."

Clinton's name to be placed in nomination
By Liz Sidoti, Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton's name will be placed in nomination along with nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama at the Democratic convention in Denver, an emblematic move intended to unite the party after a divisive primary fight.
Democrats will officially nominate Obama at the convention but the state delegations will do a traditional roll call for his vanquished opponent as well.
The arrangement -- which the rivals-turned-allies agreed to after weeks of negotiations -- is intended to help the Democratic Party heal after a bruising primary while mollifying still-disgruntled Clinton backers and acknowledging the former first lady's groundbreaking presidential run. (More)
If she pushes a little harder, Hillary could probably scare Obama to giving up the Dem lib nomination altogether. What a wuss the Obamafraud turned out to be!

“A woman who wildly mismanages and bankrupts a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign operation, and then blames sexism in society, will dampen the dreams of our daughters.”
-- NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd, suggesting an alternative to the statement that "media sexism" derailed Hillary's candidacy and "dampens the dreams of our daughters," that Hill's supporters managed to insert into the national Democratic Party platform.
Supporters of Hillary Clinton are planning a number of rallies at the Democratic national convention in Denver to express their disappointment with the party’s presidential primary process.
The Denver Group, formed by two Clinton backers, has filmed a TV commercial and scheduled a large reception in Denver for August 26.
Another pro-Clinton group, 18 Million Voices, is organizing a march on that day in Denver “and nationwide to support Sen. Clinton and advocate for women’s rights worldwide,” according to its Web site.
Some of the Denver Group’s goals are at odds with those of the Democratic Party, The Hill newspaper reports. It wants an open convention, with Hillary’s name placed in nomination, as well as a genuine roll call vote with Clinton as a legitimate candidate instead of what it calls a “coronation” of Barack Obama.
Clinton backers in Denver will hold signs reading, “Denounce Nobama’s Coronation,” according to the Denver Post. (More ...)
Hillary's backers are still enraged over her defeat to Lord Barack Obama the Divine during the primaries. The NY Senator's acolytes are ready for mischief at the liberal Democratic Convention in Denver and they won't be denied.
The Obamafraud's meager overtures toward Hillarites appear to have failed. Miserably. Maybe Hillary's people are immune to the Obamessiah's Jedi mind tricks.
