Whose fault is this, really, that there's so much drama over the SOS pick?

[mtnsnake]

Is it Hillary's fault? Did she ask for this? I'm not saying she did or didn't want this, but if so, how do you know?

Is it Obama's fault? If so, why? Is it his fault if he's considering her for the job and it's taking a while for him to confirm the rumors?

Is it the media's fault? Aren't they the ones turning this into the 3-ring circus it has become?

Unless you have concrete evidence that they are behind this entire drama/circus, I just can't understand why Bill and Hillary are getting blamed by so many people for something that just MIGHT be out of their control. What if they didn't ask for any of this drama?

1. Quit trying to be sensible and logical.

:+ You won't fit in here at DU if you continue this kind of talk.

[Ozma]

2. Good points! We have no NAMES going "on the record" about

Hillary being considered. All this fuss and no direct confirmation. Well, except from Bill who states he is willing... but Bill always loved to UPSTAGE Obama during the campaign. Is he doing it again?

[JuniperLea]

3. Everything Obama does is going to create media drama...

I think we need to get used to it. The RW and their media are going to remain very sore losers, probably throughout the entire Obama presidency. They think the world is going to end and they all want the headline scoop... I'm bored with them already.

[Marrah_G]

4. Because everything is the fault of the Clenis and his evil wife's plan to rule the world

Muhahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. Marrah... Its the Clintoris.

Not the 'wife of the Clenis'. Get it right. :eyes:

[Marrah_G]

8. Doh- I am not worthy- I am not worthy!

DO you think they will smite me for that mistake?? I hear the Clintoris can shoot laser beams out of her eyes...........

[bunnies]

9. I'd be scared if I were you.

Being that they're inherently evil and all. You'd better lay low.... :hide: I think they're going to feed soon. :scared:

[Marrah_G]

12. Ack- I need to go hide the babies........

:hide:

[QC]

13. Watch out! If she would murder Vince Foster in her secret lesbian love nest,

then killing you would be nothing to her!

I am praying for your safety.

[Marrah_G]

14. Where is H20man, I need to hide behind him

I hear her powers don't work through water ! Something about witches and water......

[QC]

15. Maybe he can confuse her with sports metaphors! n/t

[Marrah_G]

16. ~snort~

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[QC]

33. Well, I know that few things can make me run away quite so quickly

as reading something like, "As Martin once said to Muhammad, while Bobby and John waited in the car outside...."

[Autumn]

24. Clintoris!! I love it!!!

:rofl: :rofl: I spewed all over my monitor. Thank you so much.:yourock:

[ErinBerin84]

5. I don't blame the media entirely, but I don't blame Obama or Hillary either

I do think that some of these insiders from both camps (though honestly, what the fuck counts as an "insider" these days) should shut up...the media can't be pulling ALL of it out of their asses...could they?

[bunnies]

6. I blame the Clintoris.

AND the Clenis.

Everything is their fault... or so I hear. :shrug:

It's mighty cold out in NH today. Damn you, Clintoris! Damn you!

[quakerboy]

10. I'm gonna go with

"the media, desperate to retain some of the ratings that the long political dogfight of the last year supplied, in any way possible" for 200, alex.

[lamp_shade]

11. The media.

[Diamonique]

17. It's the fault of the leakers.

Whoever is leaking this stuff -- whether it be the Clinton camp or the Obama camp -- that's who is at fault for all the drama.

We shouldn't have known anything about this until it was a done deal.

[Lerkfish]

18. actually I agree with you on this, which means the world has flipped on its axis.

:)

[atimetocome]

19. "drama" is the word of the month.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

20. THIS month?

The hysterics rule ... or is that drool?

[atimetocome]

29. You are right. But I think it is that also the actual word 'drama' seems

to be on so many lips--the pundits- (or computer keys).

[1corona4u]

21. The media.

And people who over react.

[Whisp]

22. when close friends of the Clintons like Lanny Davis...

decide to pop their heads out of their gopher holes at opportune times...
I'd have to say the C's do have some to do with it - add the newstertainment idiotcy (which they know and rely on) then you have a circus like what we are witnessing now.

of the 3 I think Obama would be the least likely to have anything to do with this soap opera silliness.

[trayfoot]

23. It's the media hyping all this about the Clintons!

[AtomicKitten]

25. it's really not that tough to do the math on this

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. This is vintage Clinton soap opera 101

I don't care whether you like the Clintons or not, you simply can't deny the obvious. She did it during the primaries, and did it again during the Veepstakes. If the future of the goddamn planet wasn't at stake, the whole thing would be incredibly funny. It could be her or Bill or both, but it's definitely coming from Camp Clinton.

Ted Kennedy has said he would make her a big part of any health care reform in the Senate. I hope she takes him up on it. And starts thinking more 1993 mode than Romney 2005 mode.

Bill Richardson will be a great Secretary of State.

America's reputation in the world is restored AND we get decent fucking health care in this country.

Is that not a win-win situation?

[Orsino]

27. I know when the nastiness started.

Desperation plus a sense of entitlement breeds drama.

[southern_dem]

28. Whoever is leaking

be it from the Obama side or the Clinton side.

[cwydro]

30. People just hate the Clintons.

I cannot figure out why.

I thought Bill was a good president and I think Hillary is an intelligent, very capable woman.

[Arkansas Granny]

31. For many, it's because she had the nerve to oppose Obama in the primaries.

That certainly made her persona non grata on this board.

[QC]

34. Yes, everyone else should have dropped out when he announced.

Except not even that would have satisfied some of the more vociferous on this board.

[cwydro]

36. I think you hit the nail on the head. nt

[dionysus]

32. 3 words...

brewer and shipley!!!

onetoke over the line sweet mtnsnake, one toke over the lineeee....

:hi:

[bigwillq]

35. The person who leaked it.

Unlike many of you, I don't blame the media. The media had sources that leaked it and they reported it. That is their job. Of course, in today's media, everything that is reported is so sensationalized, and we probably will be better off if that stops, but the media did their job.

I blame the leaker!

[No Elephants]

37. I blame Bush. (Sheer force of habit.)
