  1. But to those who believe it still disqualifies her to be President what else can one say on the subject ?

    Whatever they’ve said before. I don’t see how Obama’s statement is the final word on much. Assuming that the email server did not endanger national security at all, the problems with trusting Clinton’s judgment remain (and are supported by Obama’s answers). I think the Republicans have gone overboard on this issue, but I don’t support the mainstream Democratic thinking that the email server wasn’t a big deal.

    IF Obama had said that her actions did threaten national security, it would be the biggest news story and be potentially fatal to Clinton’s campaign. Obama’s statement is pretty much non-news.

    If Clinton wins, I worry about this type of thing happening all the time, just like with Bill Clinton — Clinton does something bad and the Republicans freak out unnecessarily and then Democrats have to defend the action against those crazy attacks, even though the criticized actions were actually pretty bad.

  2. If we want this issue to go away, then why do we keep talking about it?

    We don’t know whether bad guys penetrated her server or not. I’m quite certain that if we DID know they had, we would NOT admit it. That makes Barack Obama’s comments utterly meaningless.

    The Benghazi witch-hunt is a purely partisan witch-hunt. It is no accident that the GOP dogs have been, instead, chasing the server issue — there’s substance there, where there is NO substance in the rest of the Benghazi circus. As far as I’m concerned, President Obama’s comments only dangle more red meat in front of the rabid GOP dogs.

    This is just more content-free political posturing at its worst.

      • Curious timing about the burst of energy from “thebaker”.

        I think I hear the sound of a balloon that just popped — and it looks to me as though Hillary Clinton suddenly looks a LOT more threatening to the average right-wing Tea Party enthusiast.
