I don’t buy any of this Clinton/Obama feud B.S. What you’re hearing and seeing is the beginning of the Hillary 2016 campaign. She & Bill know that the Democrats in general, and Obama and his policies specifically are unmitigated disasters. They know that there is Z-E-R-O chance of a Hillary presidency if she can be tied to them.
So what to do? Afterall, she was Obama’s S.O.S., and neck-deep in all of it.
Create a narrative giving the appearance of dislike, disagreement and distrust. This is classic stuff - creating space, or distance between the 2 of them. I can already hear the interviews about how she disagreed with this or that. Of course, she spoke her mind, but Obama wouldn’t listen. Then, after 3 or 4 years of frustration, she realized she just couldn’t be a part of it anymore, and left State. Yeah, sure ...
Her Thighness has not exactly been subtle about her resentment that Obozo came in and stole her rightful path to the White House in 2008. The Toons really despise The Won but (as you posted) Her Thighness has to distance herself from the absolute mess he created or it will doom her campaign.
Hillary is simply triangulating away from the unpopular Obama.
The Players have their roles.
Very good analysis! I was thinking the same thing, but that doesn’t mean Hilary isn’t being truthful. Certainly, she would have gone on about how she loved Obama (given her same internal feelings) if Obama was up in the polls. Now, Hillary gets two for one...distance herself politically from Obama and tell the truth at the same time. That’s a rarity in politics.
Anyone who follows politics at all knows that Obama is a very lazy President. He hates the job, hates politics, hates the horse-trading, and the ass-kissing needed to get bills and laws passed. He hates it all and has zero respect for the beautiful checks and balances in our system. He doesn’t believe in America. He doesn’t like 70% of the country and absolutely loathes 50% of us. I’m certain his hand isn’t on the tiller. He’s not a serious man let alone a serious President.
What Obama loves to do is to stick it to the ‘Man’ and for the most part, he sees the GOP as the man. Remember that guy back in high school, snarking at the math teacher, getting all the laughs and all the girls, and faking his way through the rest? Well, that’s the guy we made President. Basically Obama wakes up, bitches about the GOP in some public forum, hits the golf course, and attends fund raisers where guilt ridden white people and other hipsters fawn over his ‘coolness’.
He’s a disaster as a President, but I don’t really blame him. He is who he is. I blame the lazy and sanctimonious media for letting him slide by and through and up to the Presidency. The media failed us badly and its not only malpractice and its down-right scary.
I think you’re absolutely right.
There’s an old saying, there is no bad press.
That’s why there are these idiots who do all sorts of stunts that look like their crazy, or horribly immoral or whatever...eg miley cyrus.
gets you talking about them, thinking about THEM.
