Clinton sees the writing on the wall. Federal investigations are coming on the financial crisis he and the democrats brought upon us. He knows the dems are going to take the fall and he doesn’t want to go down in history as having been a part of that. Witness his statements last year how the democrats stopped his attempts and also Bush’s attempts at trying to avert the crisis.
"... But I submit there is a second reason, perhaps equally important: Clinton genuinely wants McCain to win for the good of the country.
Um, what?
Yeah, sure.
Next thread, please.
he may want to raise some taxes here and there but I don’t think he wants his life savings totaled just because obama wants a socialist state.
Given Clinton's track record of deeds that were undertaken only to benefit Clinton, party, country, and friends be damned, I find this motivation highly dubious.
Clinton is extremely insecure and jealous. He thinks he has carried the burden's of Atlas in his life (and suffered unjust attacks), and he thinks people like Obama has been handed his political success with no sacrifice.
Somehow he convinced himself it was better for Barry to sink or swim on his own without Hillary as a life jacket.
Bill has a great memory, except when it comes to telling the truth under oath.
Bill will never forgive OBama for labeling him as a racist. BIll knows he’s not a racist and wanted to prove it to everyone by telling the world he sired a mulatto baby with a black prostitute and had multiple affairs with black women/hookers. He was all about to do so until Hillary told him no and compromised that he could go fly to England to meet Monica again.
I seriously doubt the author’s conclusion — there is no evidence that Clinton has ever acted for the good of the country.
His motivation beyond setting up Hillary for another chance in 4 years is to wrest control of the party back from the nutroots; only a spectacular Obama failure can really do that.
