Revealed: Unified Theory of Obama's Libyan Shit Show

Wow, wow, and wow!  Follow me here.

I have chronicled the interplay between the Obama camp of the Democratic Party and the Clinton camp.   To summarize, Obama is renting the assets of the party, the Clintons own them.  The Clintonites are undermining Obama in every way possible short of overt non-endorsement.  I have also posited that Obama knows he's cooked, short of what he can pull off himself, he ain't getting any help from the Clintons.  That explains a whole load of Twilight Zonish behavior from the Lightworker, from  atrocious optics to doubling down on the policies and ideologies that got him shellacked in 2010.

So let's turn to Libya.  If ever there was a Twilight Zonish head-scratcher, this whole affair is it.  A fourth grader could see this was a pre-planned terrorist attack and yet the Smartest President Ever in the History of Everything thought he could lie about it to the American public for days upon days.  Furthermore, he managed to get a putatively intelligent woman, Susan Rice, to be point person in propagating this sure-to-be-exposed lie.  It is so daft and inexplicable as to make one's head hurt.  Well, I just read this over at Althouse and I think the Unifying Theory is coming together...

Quite aside from the wrongness of lying, generally and specifically, in this case, and quite aside from the motivation to lie — I'm going to presume, without more, it was campaign politics — why did Obama think he could get away with this lie long enough, and why was he not daunted by the risk entailed in going on and on, doubling down on the lie, and even lying in a U.N. speech? How did he have the nerve to co-opt our U.N. ambassador, Susan Rice, and subvert her credibility and honor? How did he get this millstone around the neck of Hillary Clinton, who has such a strong interest in her independent career and who knows a thing or two about the devastation of getting caught lying?

He got the millstone around Hillary's neck...and that, dear readers, is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  You see, the Clintonites have waged covert warfare against Lightworker 2.0 and he knows it.  Among the many thousand Clintonite cuts, Hillary caused severe embarrassment by leaking to the press that she turned down the VP slot in Lightworker 2.0.  

Don'tcha see it?   My theory was missing its keystone, and Althouse has happened upon it.  Obama knows its over.  The Clintonites are not interested in some sort of accommodation or power-sharing agreement over party assets.  They've abandoned the Lightworker, they want to usher the Era of Obama out.  So what is Obama's priority faced with running on his record without the full torque of the Clinton Machine?  Win or lose, Obama's key mission is to poison the well of Hillary's career.   The media's got his back, so he can take a chance - if he wins, the Clintons are a footnote and he reigns supreme as an all-conquering two-term Democrat who passed a healthcare entitlement, and Libya is forgotten.  If he loses, he can play up the Libya Shit Show and blame/tarnish Hillary for years to come as payback for Clintonite machinations that cost him.  Post November 6th, the Libya Shit Show has either been a non-factor or served its purpose.  Heads Obama wins, tails he ties.  He'll make that trade all day.

Your head can stop spinning now.  You're welcome.  And thank you Althouse.
