Mitt Romney on Bloomberg Business "Politics" praising Panetta and Hillary.. [View all]

[KoKo]

He was quoting both Leon Panetta and Hillary Clinton" (yes he had their exact quotes) then concluding that: "..even people in his own Party think his war policy has been a failure and the country is adrift while the people who want to attack us have grown stronger." He goes on to do the Repub mantra of "we got out of Iraq too soon, and didn't deal with Russia" and blah...blah. The Bloomberg interview was about his announcement that "I'm not running for 2016." But, he sure looked and sounded to me like he was putting in a bid for "Oh please ask...I'm available for a draft." And, reveals the Repubs and Dems will both use the Panetta and Hillary quotes going forward to trash Obama and distance themselves from him for 2016.

For all we know there will be more Dem/Repub's who served in Obama Admn with long knives just waiting to distance themselves from Obama and whip up for support for Hillary. And, the Republicans love it because those who aren't Tea Party would be fine with Clintons II. Since our Dem Party is now the Pro-Wall Street/Pro-War Party what else can we run on given our policy of Endless War in the future and Wall Street Bankers back to business as usual?

This is why many of us are concerned about Hillary as the "Heir Apparent" Nominee. You don't take an opportunity to stab in the back a President of Your Own Party under whom you served as SOS before a crucial Mid-Term Election unless you are working for the Republican Vote and don't give a damn about the Party that elected your husband as President twice and allowed you to serve as Senator and Secretary of State.


If I find the clip on Bloomberg I will post it in V&MM. It needs to be seen.
