In a campaign season with lots of surprises, how's this for a wild prediction? It would never happen, of course, but pull up a chair and indulge me.
My premise is, President Obama hates Hillary Clinton and always has. Why?
(1) Because everyone hates Hillary;
(2) Obama has special reasons for hating her based on the things she has done and said;
(3) His senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, also hates Hillary, so, if by some accident, Obama wakes up one day not hating Hillary, Jarrett is there to say, Oh yes you do!
(4) Obama adores his vice president, Joe Biden;
(5) He knows that Hillary can't beat Trump.
Obama must be having withdrawal symptoms as his second term draws to a close. If he were Reagan, he'd just want to go home and chop wood. But he's not Reagan. The most powerful man in the universe is about to become just some schmuck in an airport. And he's got Valerie Jarrett chirping in his ear, You need to protect your legacy!
Who more perfectly encapsulates white privilege than Hillary Clinton? Hers was a charmed political life. She rose to political power in the draft of her husband, was given infinite breaks, then ruthlessly fought Obama for the nomination, long after it was clear she was not the Democrats' choice in 2008.
Obama resented her campaign and resented Bill Clinton's not-so-coded racism.
While the rest of the world assumes Hillary used a private server as secretary of state to hide her emails from the media or congressional investigators, Obama and Jarrett know that the private server was to prevent them from finding out what she was up to.
There was always the sneaking suspicion that Hillary was keeping her powder dry to challenge Obama in 2012, as Teddy Kennedy had challenged President Carter. On this theory, it wasn't FOIA requests Hillary was worried about, but the prying eyes of Valerie Jarrett.
If the Republican Party were not so aptly named the Stupid Party I would dismiss the part regarding Loretta Lynch, but....
Geez Ann, you are on the same medication that I am on.
Not bad, except for this line: “He withdraws his white-guy fake-nominee to the Supreme Court and replaces him with Lynch”. There is an election this fall, and the Republicans running would like to have a chance. Looking at Lynch’s record, no one is stupid enough that Lynch would prosecute because she is honest.
Protect his legacy means NOT leaving DC when he is out of office. Living in DC ensures the media hacks will daily run to him for his second-guessing all decisions made by the new president.
