All Bill really wanted was the goodies - the skirts, the TV appearances, the fawning press. Obama is hollow on the inside and is looking for power to define himself. He has always gravitated to vicious radicals, such as Wright or Ayers, because they give him a sort of mold in which to cast his undefined personality.
I don’t think he’s really soft, and in fact every time he has been challenged (such as by other Dem candidates) he gets quite vicious. But he doesn’t really have a well-developed program of his own, and he needs these people around him to define him and supply his program. Looking at them, I’d say this is not promising for the rest of us.
The viciousness can be perceived, however. I see it in his eyes, his occasional slip of the tongue. Subtle and non-verbal, but there it is, just below the surface.
He enables his surrogates to act upon his viciousness - the attacks on Staney Kurtz, the attacks on Joe the Plumber, the impending attacks on this reporter.
Do you find it interesting that Obama supporters seem to have a green light and have taken license in defacing cars, vandalizing McCain offices, tearing down McCain/Palin signs, tearing down the sacred, time honored institution of voter registration via the criminal ACORN? Not only is this anarchistic behavior tolerated, it is condoned and tacitly encouraged.
