Most folks assume that Bubba signed in blood to submit any speeches to the White House for pre-approval as a condition for Hillary being offered SOS.
That would mean that Clinton's Yale speech was pre-approved by the WH. If it was pre-approved, it betrays extreme weakness and insecurity to have the former president bait the birthers with an obviously false statement which any competent Yale grad with a modicum of independent thought and capacity for research could prove to be false.
On the other hand, Clinton could be intentionally setting up Obama by calling attention to a potential BC/NBC weakness that, if Obama’s protections and credibility continue to crumble, result in a path being cleared for Hillary in 2012 or sooner.
Look at three recent stories that undermine Obama:
1. Clinton's high profile, unnecessry birther comments baits himself to be called out by Rush
2. Sestak, a total Clinton operative, setting up the WH
3. Carville, a total Clinton loyalist, denounces Obama providing an instant GOP attack ad.
Is there a pattern here?
Clinton will knife that usurper every chance he gets! And in contrast to what the press is always telling us, Bill Clinton is the smartest man in that room for sure. I think the Clintons were outdone in the election because they didn’t realize that Obama is as amoral as they are - now that they have his number: it is on!!!
You have already listed several clues to the fact that the Dems are getting ready to sacrifice the long legged mack daddy and it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Hillary as VP before the end of what would have been Obama’s first term.
Oprah was right about one thing, be careful who you climb over on the way to the top, they’ll be kicking your ass on the way back down.
Clinton - "I never was mad at Sen. Obama," the former president said. "I think everybody's got a right to run for president who qualifies under the Constitution. And I'd be the last person to begrudge anybody their ambition."
