School's in Session: Bill is Ahead of the Class

While in Philadelphia on a November, 2012 afternoon, former President Bill Clinton struck a note of irony while attempting to criticize Mitt Romney’s campaign.

“You’re laughing, but who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true?” Clinton asked, after discounting a claim in a recent Romney ad that the Obama administration’s auto bailout hurt American workers.

“When I was a kid, if I got my hand caught in the cookie jar, where it wasn’t supposed to be, I turned red in my face, and I took my hand out of the cookie jar,” Clinton added.  Wow!  Bill certainly did not do that during the Monica Walensky scandal. He wet his cigar tip you know where, lit it and drew a puff off as he contemplated exactly what he would say during his 1998 grand jury testimony on the Monica Lewinsky affair. When questioned is any sex act involved during cross examinations, Bill said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."  Then when asked if he was ever alone with Monica, Bill replied, "It depends on how you define alone…".  Parcing language, dicing up words and slicing sentences, is any good lawyer's stock in trade.  After all, Obama should know, he is a Harvard Law graduate who taught Constitutional law!

Now today in 2013 looking back, Bill Clinton should have asked then for the truth about the Benghazi attack on 9/11/12 from his wife, Secretary of State Hillary, and the President, Barak. But hey, they were all in a huge Presidential electioneering mode and could not be bothered, especially the electorate needn't be upset with the silly truth and then vote for the other guy.

As Hillary said at the senate Benghazi hearing, "What difference does it make?" Anyway, Hillary added, “It's hard to connect that. It was so long ago.”

I believe that since such a huge firestorm has erupted in trying to either get at the truth or hide it that senate hearings are the red meat that will be the only thing to satisfy the appetites of Washington politicians. Look out for finger pointing, heads to roll, jobs to be sacked, indictments to be filed, people to be fined and some jailed. Now that's an Obamagate size scandal!

So as the Obamagate scandals loom large ahead with the upcoming senate inquisition hearings, at least Bill's talent and experience will not go to waste. Bill can be coaching Hillary along with Barak, both seasoned lawyers. Will Obama get his "Get Out Of Jail Free Card" like Nixon too?
