Nothing, but nothing will coalesce and invigorate democrats around Hillary

like the transparent attempted Benghazi take down of her. It's become clear that the main objective of this Benghazi bullshit is to harm Hillary or take her out altogether. And I think a fair number of independents will also be turned off big time by the repuke shenanigans. Blowback is a bitch and I dearly hope they get it right in the face.

I'm not a Hillary supporter when it comes to the 2016 primaries, but man, this really has me steamed.

I agree. I think it is less about Obama and more about damaging Hillary for 2016. They just don't give up.

Fear of an uppity woman. I am not a fan either, but this is a diversion, surely. The administration hopefully will do a better job at airing the truth.

...the more they attempt to take her down, the stronger they will make her potential candidacy.

Which I do not want.

his reaction to Fox Snooze when they declared that Obama won Ohio.

Rove is done. He just doesn't know it. But he's a gift to Dems that just keeps on giving.....

If editing and making sure facts or correct before releasing information is wrong... then we wouldn't have spent years searching for yellow cake uranium in Iraq. I'm still waiting for the there in this story. Maybe the Obama administration has been too careful in declaring information, but after the past administration you can understand why they are fast not to cry wolf every ten seconds. I imagine any democratic voter is sick of these fake tactics already.

of making an enemy of Bill Clinton. I mean, he was always from the opposition party, but hey're making it personal. This is a huge mistake.

Although I guarantee the corporate media will be screaming in unison: "It's Bush vs Clinton again" long before November 2016.

Warren / Grayson 2016, please....

If they keep it up, they might as well just hand over the WH to her.

I understand a lot of folks aren't crazy about her for varying reasons and that's okay. Strategically speaking, this attack on her is a huge blunder.
