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.
Yup.
I think it's naked political ambition, but it's working in our favor for a change. ;)
Not crazy by a long shot!
I have had the misfortune to meet a very few other people with “Black Aura.” (And they were not of the Negro Race.)
In one case the aura was so pervasive that I actually experienced synesthesia and everything I experienced in her presence smelled, felt, sounded and looked “Black.”
As I look at footage of “O” I get the same reaction, albeit lessened by the blessed fact of his not being physically present.
I have seen dangerous aruas from other political figures, but none with the pervasive evil that emanates from the Man Named for Mohammed’s Horse.
Nah.. The Clinton’s are still fuming about the primary with the way the media gave them the large shaft.
Don’t forget how tense things got for these two in Nevada and South Carolina.
They are vengeful people. They will bury Obama at any costs.
if I didnt know better I’d swear Michelle Obama is transgendered.
Exactly - his wife and he seem to have some kind of gender transferrence going on....
I keep seeing him in a tutu and tights....oh well.....:o)
You aren't crazy as all. I get a terrible feeling each time I watch him. He actually makes me feel ill. I see nothing good about the man & usually I try to look for something good in everyone even if I don't like them.
I am leaning that way as well.
Rush has said for a LONG time now that the Clintons will want to bring down Obama... Hope you’re both right!
You’re not crazy. I had an immediate visceral reaction to him. There are times when I almost get physically ill. I am a sensible grounded person; but whatever is working through him has no race and it is very scary. I’ve never felt such panic at the idea of an individual being in power.
Neither one liked them either or helped much.
Democrats did a bad dead with the Obama Anointing.
If McCain can survive the worst the Vietnamese could do to him in 5 years... he can be our President for 8...
“Ive never felt such panic at the idea of an individual being in power.”
You hit that right square on the head.
I don’t think I’ve ever been terrified about the outcome of an election, before.
“Something wicked this way, comes...”
I surely hope so, but I have seen people of this age deteriorate pretty fast as the years pile up. Even moreso have been those who were WWII POWS, where their experiences eventually caught up to them and caused a premature death.
