and believe he is the greatest President in my life time. I've read BLUEMNTHAL's book the Clinton Wars which was interesting and provides insight into HRC's leadership style.

Apparently Blumenthal thought HRC was the President in exile. He seems mentally disturbed to me so I cut him mega-slack.

He's about 1/2 step removed from Mark Penn in the scale of Team Obama's bettes noires.

that's what you call the ultimate get back. Hate is not required. Besides, as an African American, I'm the more and he's the less.

She put a lot of her people in, but was not permitted to hire Blumenthal.

I do love Axelrod, always did. So when there are emails from Blumenthal telling HC to "reign" in Axelrod because he's saying that some Jewish settlements are not legal, that's State Dept. business, and it doesn't bother me if somebody doesn't like Axelrod expressing his opinion, but that their power over the State Dept. seems greater than the President's.

My problem has nothing to do with liking or not liking Blumenthal, it just seems that my President has stuff hidden from him.

And what does Tucker Carlson have to do with this? Did he get copies of the emails or what?

Am not feeling well, and don't recall what I was looking for in Search, but that came up, and since it's a timely item (9/15), I read it not expecting to find anything.
