President Obama made a joke at the Gridiron Dinner that gutted the Republican dreams of a Hillary Clinton email scandal.
The Gridiron dinner is closed to the press. There
are no TV cameras allowed, and only a few pool reporters are allowed
inside to cover a portion of the dinner, but a joke that President Obama
made spoke volumes about the Clinton email “scandal.”
The president joked that he was once the young tech
savvy candidate, but, “Hillary has a server in her house! I didn’t even
know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.”
If the Clinton email scandal were thought to be a
serious matter, President Obama would not have been joking about it. The
Republicans are going to be working overtime in an attempt to turn
Hillary Clinton’s emails into something that they can use in 2016, but
the reality is that the White House knows that the Republican hysteria
is a waste of time. Most of the media, even if they refuse to admit it
publicly, are aware that the Clinton emails are a space filler until
they have a presidential campaign to write about.
No one, except for the Republican Party, is taking
this story very seriously. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush were not in
attendance at the dinner, but on a night that was full of Washington
insider jokes, the truth that the Hillary Clinton emails are a scandal
about nothing managed to sneak into the closed door party.
President
Obama gutted the latest Republican attempt to generate a Hillary
Clinton scandal that will stick with voters as a joke, as it looks like
Democrats will be getting the last laugh in 2016 if Republicans continue
to chase the political equivalent of fool’s gold in 2016.
