I have been trumpeting my gut feeling that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton were working beneath the scenes to secretly try to undermine Barack Obama. My reasons for believing this is because Hillary is a very ambitious lady. She wants to be president. She knows that if John McCain is elected she is in position to run as the Democrat front-runner in 2012 against likely Sarah Palin. She also knows that if Barack Obama is elected she must wait 8 years because she would not be able to oust an incumbent president.
Today Bill Clinton told Chris Cuomo of ABC News that the Democrats bear responsibility in the economic crisis because they "resisted any (and all) efforts by the Republican Congress and himself to tighten up the standards on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." (attached video around the 2:30 mark).
You should know by now that I have well documented Hillary's refusal to go after Sarah Palin despite Obama's plees for her to do so. I have well documented her "less than aggressive" attitude. I said when she pulled her name from the anti-Iran protest due to Sarah Palin's presence that it was a dumb political move for Obama, but not necessarily for her. New polls have shown that Hillary supporters have not fallen in the Obama camp since she left the race, but are still undecided because they are smart enough to know that she is tanking it.
The reality is that Hillary was mistreated by Barack Obama. He was sexist to her just as he has been to Palin. She also felt the wrath of the media and its' smear merchants. Hillary is bitter, but she is smart. She realizes her best way to get back at those who mistreated her is to win the presidency. This would kill two birds with one stone. It would satisfy her aspirations and it would put her in position to avenge those who mistreated her. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Hillary was not the only Clinton that the media and the Democratic Party angered. Bill Clinton was hammered on two sides of the aisle during the primaries. He was encouraged by Hillary supporters to stay away from her campaign. He was smeared by the Obama campaign. I also think former President Clinton was hurt by the media's coverage of Hillary and the overall sexist treatment she received. Now, the media has focused that attention on Palin.
One thing is becoming more apparent every day - the Clintons are NOT "all in" with the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party at the moment. Whether it's Hillary dogging it a bit, or Bill chastising the Democratic Party about the economy, the Clintons realize that in order to get a chance at national prominence again they must dispatch of their most dangerous opponent and his name is Barack Obama and not John McCain.
They better!!!
Well, I agree with you. You guys can call me a dope but I have new found respect for the Clintons on this, perhaps that’s just how bad Obama really is. Could the Clintons actually know that Obama’s brand of liberalism is anti-American while they at least love our country, I think that is the case, and thus, I do have new found respect for the Clintons. Bill especially lately seems to be free of the partisan crap and just speaking his mind.
I ask you to imagine this scenario. Bill Clinton is openly out to spill your guts. Hillary, lurking and working in the shadows, is ready to feed your viscera to the hogs.
Feeling any chill at your core?
Brace yourself, Obee.
Yep! You nailed it! You and Rush what’s his name.
Bill and Hilary are loyal to one thing only: themselves. In this election, we may as well have them on our payroll.
What information do you have indicates that McCain is only a 1 term president?
They love Clintons.
Barak Hussein is not the first to be thrown under the bus by them.
Most of the ones they have done in are Democrats. There is a whole list of people who are taking a dirt nap because of them.
I've read where Muslim men look down on women and I'm convinced Obama is a closet Muslim. Am I allowed to say that OR have they got control yet?
I believe the Clintons are most angry with the far left. They never were really that close even when Bill was president, and the far left were most aggressive against them during the primary.
The Clintons realize by sinking 0bama, they also strike a blow against the left, while opening their opportunity for 2008.
Depends on where you live... Europe and Canada... no. USA... soon...
Man, I would not like to be among those Democrats who threw Hillary under the bus when she regains power. Heads will be a-rollin' !
IMO, 0 makes the Clintons look like right-wing evangelists, he is just -that- evil.
The creature literally makes my skin crawl and my stomach upset and I know I’m not the only “sensitive” person getting these “vibes” from him.
I don’t give a rip what the rest of his face is doing at any given time, he *always* has cruel, vicious, “dead” eyes.
And no, it’s not because of his much-vaunted “race”.
As an example, there is a black lady who works in a store I frequent.
Her scars attest that she has apparently survived some kind of terrible burns yet with all that, the light of Christ literally shines from her like a bright aura.
I’m always overjoyed if she’s working when I go in there and I always stop and laugh with her about *whatever*, she’s just that much a joy to be around.
I think she is “beautiful” in the purest sense of the word.
0’s aura is black and dangerous.
He is not what he seems.
[though to those of us with eyes to see, he is -exactly- what he seems]
Call me crazy.
I don’t care.
Haven't you seen what being a president does to you? I think the task of running this country ages you one Helluva lot. Do the math with McCain.
GOD HELP US ALL !!! Bill Clinton was one of the architects of this debacle! Anyone think Clinton wouldn’t angle to BUY votes from the POOR AND DOWNTRODDEN?
Is Obama gay - he doesn’t seem to like regular females...
