stephen, freedom of information by the media, she hasn t been transparent, we have not seen those documents but we finally got some. i have seen this administration is giving her cover. the state department gave for cover, the president gave her cover and 60 minutes. after watching the democratic debate where they didn t go after her, potentially he will come at and say i am not running? the only way joe biden can win is over hillary s politically dead body. if he is not willing to attack her he will lose and we have seen signs of that in the past couple days where he said something to me really incredible, we had two wonderful secretaries of state but only i speak directly for the president. if that is not a slap at hillary i don t know what is and then saying not enemies, those are both 90 as about to get into it. it has been said he lost twice before, two earlier efforts never got off the ground, i remember in 1987 the plagiarism
hill tomorrow and that is anticipated to be a heated discussion between lawmakers and hillary clinton about september 11th, 2012, when our ambassador to libya in been gauzy and three other americans were killed. as we watch the scene now vice president joe biden about to make a statement. let s watch. good morning, folks. please sit down. mr president, thank you, in the rose garden for a minute. as my family and i have worked through the grieving process i have said all along time and again that it may very well be that that process by the time we get through it closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president.
story of the day, with this she does well or badly, joe biden has not provided any cover. i don t know how tomorrow will turn out but she will be the big story and joe biden announcing today was more about his wanting to do it on his terms and his timetable than in terms of hillary. one point the ambassador has made a lot of folks have made online this release as democrats are going to get full lead behind hillary clinton in everything including coverage on a the e-mail scandal and benghazi, now that this alternative has removed himself he doesn t feel like there is anyone else out there who is viable. that may have been the ambassador s point, democrats, you better not let her go down with the ship on this hearing or the e-mail scandal, now the other alternative is he is out. except did he really say he was out. as we all say he made a pretty attractive speech.
democrats should not only defend this record and protect this record, they should run on the record. we have got a lot of work to get done over the next 15 months and there is all what that the president will have to get done. but let me be clear, we will be building on a really solid foundation. it all starts with giving the middle class a fighting chance. the press loves to call me middle-class joe, in washington that is not usually meant as a compliment, in means you are not that sophisticated but it is about the middle-class. it is not just the matter of fairness or economic growth. it is on matter of social stability for this nation. we cannot sustain the current levels of inequality that exists in this country.
that may be just to lecture her. we saw he took guts white shot at her during this announcement. and policing the triangulation of the clintons don t go off message like they did in 2008 to protect the legacy. benghazi and the e-mail scandal, these are administration wide scandals, president obama, joe biden or hillary clinton were there that night. this is their scandal as well. president obama and the national security team, and a private server breaking the law. the administration wide scandal they are covering up. i cannot stress this enough.
