Yes, the agenda transparency of this administration is obvious. But I doubt Obama literally knew in 2008 – by December of 2012 Hillary Clinton would be sh!tting all over herself so much she would pass out and knock herself unconscious – when he said: he’d have the most transparent administration in history.
What’s “transparent” are the lies.
Considering the opportunistic Thanksgiving holiday fire at the State Dept office of Hillary Clinton; and considering the decision of Susan Rice to avoid the sunlight of Senate confirmation hearings on Benghazi; this latest manipulation/avoidance scheme by Hillary Clinton is, well, yes – “transparent“.
But before you consider what her handlers are saying today, vis-a-vi a concussion, brought on by fainting, caused by massive dehydration (ie the sh!ts – irony alert), you might want to know what the State Dept position was leading up to the “fainting”:
Earlier in the week: The House Foreign Affairs Committee has also already announced its Dec. 20 hearing featuring Clinton’s testimony. The title of the HFAC hearing is “Benghazi Attack, Part II: The Report of the Accountability Review Board”
But State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said today that the ARB is not complete, might not be complete by Dec. 20, and Clinton has not agreed to testify on Dec. 20.
“The Hill has talked about a planning date on the calendar. That presumes that the ARB is finished,” Nuland said. “That’s dependent on all of the work getting done between now and then… The ARB is continuing to do its work, to my knowledge it has not yet completed its work.”
Clinton has agreed to brief the House and Senate foreign relations committees on how she interprets the ARB report, whenever it surfaces.
“After the ARB reports to the Secretary, then she will have consultations with Congress in terms of the conclusions that she draws about how we need to go forward from there,” Nuland said. “I don’t have any dates to announce until we have firm dates on when the ARB is coming forward.”
The Cable asked Nuland if the State Department will share the ARB with Congress at all. Nuland responded that they may not decide to give the actual report to Congress.
“The ARB’s responsibility is to brief the secretary. The secretary has said she will be transparent to Congress,” Nuland said. “What is required, Josh, is that the secretary’s response to the ARB’s conclusions has to go to Congress within 90 days of her receiving the report.” (link)
But that wouldn’t look right, would it? Considering the previous claims by Hillary to be wide open and transparent to congress, and considering pantsuits wants to keep the window of opportunity open for a POTUS run 2016.
Obama/Jarrett are attempting to diffuse the potential sunlight risk to the White House. Susan Rice just bailed on the problem, and neither Dear Leader nor Deep Fried Rice coordinated their approach/decision with Pantsuits. What to do? What to do?
Hillary Clinton fainted and had a concussion, the AP reports. The State Department said an ill Clinton is now recovering at home after the incident, according to the AP. CBS News’ Margaret Brennen reports Clinton was dehydrated from a stomach bug. The AP reports:
WASHINGTON — The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus, sustained a concussion after fainting.
She’s now recovering at home and being monitored by doctors.
An aide, Philippe Reines, says Clinton will work from home next week, at the recommendation of doctors.
Congressional aides do not expect her to testify as scheduled at congressional hearings on Thursday into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.
The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss Clinton’s status.
The department says Clinton was dehydrated because of the virus and that she fainted, causing the concussion. No further details were immediately available. (link)
Due to her concussion, Clinton will no longer testify before Congress about the investigation into the deaths of four Americans in the Sept. 11 Benghazi attack. The Hill reports:
Clinton will not testify as scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Jodi Seth, a spokeswoman for Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.).
The State Department told Kerry of Clinton’s concussion on Saturday morning, and, when he heard, Kerry insisted that she not attend the hearing.
“Senator Kerry was relieved to hear that the secretary is on the mend, but he insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not appear on Thursday as previously planned, and that the nation’s best interests are served by the report and hearings proceeding as scheduled with senior officials appearing in her place,” Seth said.
Clinton deputies Tom Nides and Bill Burns will testify in her place, Seth said.
Smart move. Lying under oath caused problems for her hubby.
Out of respect for Lisa, I’ll not repeat what Vince said about Hillary this morning at breakfast, but he had a big grin on his face when he saw the “Hillary’s Sick” story on Lucifer’s HNN morning show.
When I first heard this story this morning, I could’ve sworn I heard she was at the State Dept. when she passed out. So I was thinking if she actually passed out cold right there at the office, it was probably for real, since I couldn’t really imagine her faking a faint in front of a bunch of people (not that it’s completely out of the realm of possibility … just less than likely). Then I saw a video clip stating she hasn’t been to work since returning from her last trip outside the country. I keep hearing and reading that she’s NOW “resting at home” … but apparently that’s where she’s been for about a week. And apparently the fainting episode, fall and concussion happened at Casa de Clinton. So now I’m fairly well convinced Hillary has a bad case of the Benghazi Flu.

And speaking of the incompetency of Hillary and her department … I’ve said this before, so sorry for repeating myself … she behaves these days (perhaps she always has and I just haven’t paid attention) as though nothing is in her head that someone else hans’t placed there. She says nothing that someone hasn’t written for her or told her to say, verbatim. She’s a freaking robot. And her exhausted, bloated appearance isn’t helping matters. She comes across like a complete dolt.
Sorry concussion story is fiction. My children play hockey, there are various degrees of concussion…for Clinton not to be able to speak a week after it happened would mean she would have had to have the worst case scenario and she would have been speaking gibberish & probably hospitalized for a number of days for observation.
She’s in hiding just eating up the days til inauguration day and she disappears from public life for awhile.
It was a CIA weapons running operation to the so called rebels in Syria. Not a Consulate. Just a raid for Gun’s and Money. Actually Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda. The rest is just cover up. I just hope the Shoulder fired AA missiles do not make it here.
Dittoes on the SA-7s/Stingers/AA missiles not making it to the US. They are already in Afghanistan, hence the prohibition on close air support lest an aircraft be shot down. And I agree: Benghazi was a CIA op all the way. Qatar was the cut-out to avoid accusations of “arming our enemies.”
I’ve been waiting all day for SD to start this thread.
Sorry… plates spinnin’.. n stuff
But, hey it’s here now 
Ha HA … she thought you weren’t payin attention spinnin all the plates. But SD did the ole … “not so fast, Hillary … not so fast”. LOL She’s a piece a work. And they know she won’t be well by Thursday … how? If you broke your leg, they want you back at work like in 3 days. She fell on her head … she should fall on head a couple more times. Knock some sense into it.
If Hilary insists on staying home and calling in sick, why don’t they simply video conference the waterboarding / deposition of Hilary from her residence ….when she is ready to talk put a boom mike headset on her head ….and say okay Hilary had enough huh ….okay spill the beans …sing like a canary. Or if she would rather attend the hearing have her transported by ambulance and she can testify from a wheelchair or a stretcher. either way works for me.
Kine of like JJ Jr. Don’t ya think. Whenever they are about to get busted they check in for rehab or have a concussion. The media reports it as reasonable and feels sorry for them. If a Gop were to open their mouth they would be attacked as insensitive right wing whacko’s.
I suspect the combination of the fire at state dept. offices coupled with Hillary’s ::cough:: memory loss from her ::coughcough:: concussion have rendered the SoS utterly incapable of helping with the Benghazi investigation.
What Benghazi?
Ha-ha, this is a riot! What’s next? Maybe a “Vinny the Chin” Gigante impersonation, walking around town in a terrycloth robe and slippers, mumbling to herself? Hah- hah …too funny. I guess the doctors report states, “concussion due to ‘crappedmypantsitis’.
Sure does not look like the concusion didn’t stop her from feeding her fat face. She is lying, just like Bubba.
