Obama Throws Hillary Under the Bus

With friends like Obama, Hillary doesn’t need enemies. Asked about his secretary of state’s insistence on using her own email server, located in her house, the president was quick to contrast Hillary’s behavior with his own policy of “transparency.”

“The policy of my administration,” the president noted, “is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the Blackberry I carry around, all those records are available and archived.”

He then defended Hillary with faint praise, sidestepping the chance to offer a substantive defense of her private emails and, instead, blandly noting that “Let me just say that Hillary Clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. She was a great secretary of state for me.” Some defense!

The next day, Obama’s press secretary was questioned as to when the president learned that Hillary wasn’t using the government emails. He noted that the president had gotten emails from Hillary and must have noticed the address on them. But he, too, sidestepped a chance to defend the actions of the former secretary of state.

“The policy of my administration,” the president noted, “is to encourage transparency..."

No, sir, your policy is to ENSURE transparency, a policy at which you and your administration have failed miserably.
After all of the emails over the years from and to Clinton, did no one in your administration notice that her email address was not one originating from a government sanctioned server? And that the government address that was provided her had virtually no traffic, either in or out?

Transparency in federal government is mostly a myth and propaganda tool.

In 2008 Obama called her a racist.
