What a preamble to Debate2! Hillary, again out of the country for the debate, is told to play Harry’s “The Buck Stops Here” line from Lima, Peru. And appearing the loyal trooper, she does it.
That sacrosanct line has been associated only with America’s President and Commander-in-Chief ever since Truman put the sign on his desk over sixty years ago. Hillary must know that her appearance of falling on that sword is a sham that will impress only the light headed.
But it may be a memorable statement of her ‘courage’ for when she hopes to become President, and gets one of those made for her desk. Or like Obama, will she instead have one made for the desks of each of her cabinet officers, who will again surround the White House like covered wagons circled hitch to tailgate, prepared to defend an innocent President against all comers.
It is now clear that this President is truly incompetent, and surrounds himself only with people who will not outshine him. From the record of Benghazi's aftermath, we now know that even Hillary could not handle the 3AM call.

Yes.. some time ago she was quoted as saying "The buck stops at the W.H."
Now she says it stops with her? ( in this particular case of course)
I have no idea whats in it for her to commit harry caray just to protect
"O"s butt. Could it be that "O" is holding info about Vice Foster's death
over her head? That IS the Chicago style gamesmanship ya know.

Administrivia - a number of you have emailed me this morning to say that you're having trouble logging in to Typepad for commenting on RR. I experienced problems myself trying to log in; in my case it was Typepad erasing my password when I hit 'return'. But finally it behaved itself. Hopefully Typepad has things back to normal. In the meantime, give it a couple of tries.
My apologies.

No one died in the Watergate scandal. No one died when an intern 2 years older than the President's underage daughter was gobbling ole Willie's goop while Hillary sat in church with Chelsea. No one died when Clinton lied under oath.
Four people are dead. Our Ambassador was hunted down, tortured, and his murdered body drug through the streets. Circle the wagons.

Bill, Wasn't Arafat cooling his heals in the rose garden while Monica failed her table manners test?

Arafat got a Nobel Peace Prize. Obama got one as well. Guess Clinton gets an Oscar. Hillary Clinton, that is.
