It seems there are particular subjects the major media wishes to avoid. Or, on the other hand, perhaps even leading commentators haven’t grasped the underlying rationale for the administration's give-away nuclear deal with Iran.

 

Yesterday, on foxnews.com, commentator Charles Krauthammer said that “when it comes to Syria, Obama is “acting like a faculty club liberal living in a fantasy world,” reacting to the president’s Friday afternoon news conference where Syria was a dominant topic.”

 

Krauthammer then opined that Vladimir Putin, “is the luckiest Russian ever to have drawn an opponent like Obama.” Adding that: The Russian president is “taking advantage” of Obama’s  response to the deteriorating situation in Syria, and will continue to do that for the next 16 months.” 

 

However, it was two readers who added their comments, explaining precisely what the POTUS’s true intentions are, as follows:

 

Reader sonar001 wrote: “Doesn't anyone understand?  Obama isn't incompetent.  This is exactly what he wants to happen and this is what he supports.  He wants to destroy Israel and supporting Iran is a mechanism toward that end.  Russia is another cog in the works toward the destruction of Israel.

 

Another, goldclaw added: “I think you nailed it!”

 

And both readers are precisely correct.

 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

 

Colleen McCain Nelson and Peter Nicholas @wsj.com, note that: ”Some Hillary Clinton donors are defecting to Joe Biden, resisting entreaties from the Democratic front-runner’s campaign to stand by her despite slipping poll numbers."

 

While a few fundraisers have gone public on the subject, others have quietly signaled their intentions to the Draft Biden 2016 super PAC working to prod the vice president into the race for the White House.

 

For example: Bill Bartmann, founder and chief executive of CFS2 Inc., and onetime donor to a Clinton super PAC, said, “Instead of being ready for Hillary, we’re waiting for Joe.”

 

At the same time: “Noam Scheiber and Amy Chozick, @nytimes.com, titled their article yesterday: “Firefighters’ Union Backs Away From Endorsement of Hillary Clinton.”

 

The text says: “The International Association of Fire Fighters, one of the country’s more politically powerful unions, has abandoned its initial plans to endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, according to union sources.”

 

In a telephone call, the union’s general president, Mr. Harold A. Schaitberger, told Clinton campaign manager, Robby Mook, that the executive board and rank-and-file members, according to a recent poll, did not support a Clinton endorsement.

 

Roy (Sandy) L. McGhee III,  an I.A.F.F. board member who represents Texas and Oklahoma explained that: “Secretary Clinton doesn’t sell well here. I think the Republican attack machine, the media machine, has made sure of that. The vice president will do better. He’s popular among firefighters.”

 

Yet, while story’s such as those above continue to appear in the media, other negative factors may be even worse for Bill’s wife. Because the POTUS himself may be now be beginning to hint that his own support is directed at someone else.  

 

Daniel Halper @weeklystandard.com/blogs notes that: “President Barack Obama talked about Hillary Clinton's recent disagreements with his Syria policy by saying "there's a difference between running for president and being president."

 

Obama covered his tail following the cheap shot by adding a left-hand bail-out, saying: "Hillary Clinton is not half-baked in terms of her approach to these problems--she was obviously my secretary of state," said Obama. "But I also think that there's a difference between running for president and being president."

 

All of which leads to the ongoing question: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this? 

 

That’s it for today folks.
