President Obama said Saturday that he had learned only last week that Hillary Rodham Clinton used a private email system for her official correspondence while she was secretary of state. (New York Times, 3/8/2015)

Furthermore, Obama said, he only realized last week that Clinton was no longer secretary of state!


Discouraged
In an interview with Bill Plante of CBS News, Mr. Obama said the policy of his administration was to “encourage transparency” and that he was pleased that Mrs. Clinton had instructed the State Department to turn over her emails for archiving. (New York Times, 3/8/2015)

And this, of course, demonstrates just how utterly corrupt both Clinton and Obama are and how little regard they have for the American people. The State Department does not have Clinton's e-mails. She does! They are locked up in Chappaqua on her private server!


Heads Spin
As Hillary Clinton Stays Quiet About Private Emails, Republicans Seize Moment to Criticize Her (New York Times headline, 3/9/2015)

Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York, attempted to tone down the rhetoric, calling it a political attack that would soon blow over. (New York Times, 3/9/2015)

Well, the New York Times (and Democrats) seemed to have settled on a strategy for dealing with the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal: blame Republicans. If your head is spinning, it is no surprise. Yes, news of the scandal first appeared in the New York Times which continues to report on it...but it is somehow a Republican issue. We're guessing that the Times and Hillary are eventually going to go with the "War on Women" defense. 

We also note that perennial Clinton apologist James Carville has crawled out from under a rock. With Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC (of all people!) he employed his patented defense whenever a Clinton scandal erupts: he yells. 


Outspoken
Former President Bill Clinton spoke out in defense of his family foundation’s acceptance of donations from foreign governments on Saturday, after a series of news reports that raised questions about the practice, which quietly resumed after Hillary Rodham Clinton stepped down as secretary of state.....“My theory about all this is, disclose everything,” Mr. Clinton said. “And then let people make their judgments,” Mr. Clinton said. (New York Times, 3/8/2015)

Bill Clinton said further: "You may recall that during my presidency when it came out that I was having an adulterous sexual relationship with one of my young White House employees, I followed this same practice and immediately disclosed everything."


Framed
Mrs. Clinton’s glide path to a likely April announcement that she will seek the presidency was built around women’s issues. Advancing women has been her central life’s work, as she and her admirers say proudly; she made it a priority as secretary of state and focused on it as a philanthropist. But that focus also allowed Mrs. Clinton, who played down her gender in 2008, to frame her second attempt at the White House in what could be one way to make it special and new: as a shot at history for her and for all women. (New York Times, 3/9/2015)

Left unsaid by the Times, of course, is the work that Hillary Clinton did in her "other" central life's work: disparaging the numerous women with whom her husband was having affairs. That was also a "priority." Call it "the War on Bill's Women."
