HOW POLITICS WORK: BILL CLINTON VS. BARACK OBAMA



FOX NEWS is reporting that Bill Clinton is less than enthralled with Barack Obama’s performance as president.  Going into the 2012 election, Clinton reportedly said: "I have no relationship with the president – none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s amateur!”  Nevertheless, Obama threatened the Clintons that he would not support Hillary for her run in 2016 unless Bill endorsed Barack for s second term. 

COMMENTS:
Now you know how dirty politics can be.  The Clintons will obviously not hesitate to trade their disgust of Obama for his endorsement.  Keep this in mind:  The Clintons are no more patriotic Americans than Alexander Hamilton or John Wilkes Booth; they would sell their souls for power. In looking at their past histories, I have to add: Maybe they already have.   

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I understand the I.R.S. spent $50 million on 220 conferences between 2010 and 2012.  This seems to be another GSA debacle.  (Myrna ~ Nampa, ID)
A. In their defense, as much as I hate to take this position, I have to say they are facing a whole bunch of new regs and constantly changing procedures with the advent of taking over collection and enforcement of ObamaCare.  You get involved in air fare costs, lodging and per diem for these conferences.  While I think this could have been trimmed down to 100 conferences at a cost of $20 million, I have no axe to grind here.  The meat of our problems is in bigger things. 

Q. I have heard before that Janet Napolitano and the DHS cannot locate 266 illegals who pose a national security threat.  What are we doing about it?  (LeRoy ~ Grass Valley, VCA)
A. Nothing.  Absolutely nothing. Sleep well tonight?

Q. How do you feel about the growing push to force Holder out?  (Elvira ~ Altadena, CA)
A. He does have to go.  I am concerned, however, that a big push to force him out immediately will give cause to the liberal left to say, “Okay, so now you have your blood, leave the rest of these issues alone.”  In other words, having a sacrificial lamb immediately may work to stop any further investigation into Benghazi, the I.R.S. Fast & Furious, the E.P.A. or the D.H.S. The way things are going, we may be able to solve the national unemployment problem simply be hiring enough special prosecutors to deal with all of the scandals.
