My tinfoil hat theory about Hillary's "scorched earth" strategy |
|
There is a lot of speculation that Hillary is looking to torpedo Obama's chances in order to set herself up as the nominee in 2012. What if her reasons have nothing to do with her own personal ambition, and more to do with preventing certain things from seeing the light of day? Executive Order 13233, signed by Bush, allows a sitting president to block the release of presidential papers of any previous president. If Obama became president, there will possibly be a lot of dirty laundry aired, from the Reagan, Bush, AND Clinton administrations.

1. Despite what you guys think |
|
it's not a scorched-earth policy. She's merely running for president.
I know a lot of you hate the audacity of somebody challenging your guy, but it's just politics. Obama's got some seared ground behind him, too.

She can't win, so she's got to break Obama's legs.

8. lol that is just laughable - he sends out a remark about Richardson calling him 'Judas' on Easter |
|
weekend and continues 4 days later repeating the charge. This is an object lesson for every single superdelegate - you come out for Clinton now and you be aware we ill attack you with everything. No they are not going to have Bill Chelsea or Hillary do it Carville is the attack dog. That is his function. lol Carvill is not the Clinton campaign. lol

9. He's not the Clinton campaign |
|
he's a supporter, but he's not even employed by the campaign.
And anyway, so what? Obama's got supporters who say some strong stuff, too. You're just blind if you think this is all one-sided.

7. Since 1797 no president has screwed over a predecessor |
|
There are reasons for it and they won't go away if Obama somehow manages to win.
