Sometimes members of the same family just can’t get along.  Between 1455 and 1485 the Lancaster and York branches of the House of Plantagenet fought for the throne of England.  This was called the “War of the Roses” because the symbol of the House of Lancaster was a red rose and the symbol of the House of York was a white rose.  The House of Lancaster won when Henry Tutor became King (Henry VII).  The infamous Henry VIII took over upon the death of his father in 1509.

We just may be seeing the start of a civil war within the top elements of the Democratic Party.  Bill Clinton had difficulty disguising his disdain of Barack Obama during the 2008 election.  He had enough of Obama getting a free pass from the main stream media and he referred to this as a “fairy tale.”  He soon backed down when he was accused of being racist.   Eventually Hillary accepted the post as Secretary of State and there was peace in the valley.  Clinton gave the big speech at the DNC and if there was any bounce out of the DNC, which is debatable, it was solely because of Clinton’s speech.  Clinton has also appeared in TV ads supporting Obama. 

That is, until during the VP debate last night, Joe Biden threw Hillary under the bus.  He said that “they weren’t told they wanted more security.  We did not know they wanted more security there.”  That statement put a bull’s-eye on Hillary Clinton’s back.

Jay Carney doubled down:

What is also the case is that requests from the hundreds of diplomatic facilities around the country for security personnel or other related matters are made to the State Department. They are not made to the White House. And that’s just a simple statement of fact.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are still trying to delay any investigation of this story until after the election.  But that just isn’t going to happen.  This story is too hot and too serious to ignore.  The first question during the VP debate was about Libya. If either the State Department or the White House had a good explanation for this, we would have heard it by now.  They are both out of time and out of answers.

Both Clinton and Obama tried to blame the attack on that obscure video.  That didn’t work.  Then they both tried to blame the intelligence community. That didn’t work either.  Barack Obama even tried to blame Mitt Romney.  Even the liberal press didn’t buy that nonsense.  Now, they are running out of people to blame, and the cover-up is unraveling.  The gloves are off.  In desperation, Obama pointed the finger at Hillary.    

I’m guessing the Clintons are not very happy right now.  Getting blamed by anyone for anything is unacceptable for the Clintons.  Getting blamed by Obama has to be the ultimate insult.  In addition, Bill Clinton was really hoping for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.  After all, Jimmy Carter got one.  Barack Obama even got one for doing nothing.  This time Bill thought it was finally his turn.  Nope.  They gave it to the European Union.  THE EUROPEAN UNION!  He has to be pissed beyond recall.   

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have proven themselves expert at avoiding responsibility for things they obviously did.  Remember how they wiggled out from under the Whitewater Scandal?  It would run against their characters to take one for the team, particularly “Team Obama.”  The pressure on Hillary is going to skyrocket.  I don’t know if even she can dodge this bullet.  The main stream media is totally in the tank for both of them, but enough is enough.  Plus, there are a lot of really bad facts.

The following article appears to confirm my suspicions.  I have no idea if this is accurate, but it certainly has the ugly odor of truth:

Ed Klein is admittedly a scum bag who has managed to get himself hated equally by the Clinton camp and the Obama camp.  He wrote a scathing book about Hillary titled:  “The Truth About Hilllary:  What She Knew, When She Knew It and How Far She’ll Go to Become President.”  Then he wrote a book about Obama, called the “Amateur.”   But no matter what you think of him, the man definitely has credible sources in both camps.    

At some point, Hillary is going to run out of excuses for not answering direct questions.  She is getting down to some really rotten choices.  I think the least likely outcome is for Hillary to resort to telling the truth.  It is even less likely that she will ever accept personal responsibility.  Based on past performances, when stalling tactics fail to work, I expect Hillary to start making human sacrifices.  But even that may not work.  Hillary Clinton has a serious problem because the President of the United States just said that the buck stops with Hillary.  Oh my! 

Does anyone know where to pick up some cheap roses?
