So, am I the only one that thinks that Bill CLinton is doing his wife AND his legacy a disservice by continuously slamming Barack Obama? I know that it is his job as the potential First Gentlemen, but it seems more like a third grader saying that another one has cooties.
I am a huge Slick Willy fan, and he is waaaay smarter than this. I don't understand if this is his own free will or if he is being a puppet. Either way, I don't think that this strategy is going to work as well as they think it will. It makes Hillary's campaign come across a bit childish, and to me, a little racist, almost like a person starting a conversation with "I'm not racist, but...."
I don't wan the Democrats to bicker this election. THis election seriously should be more gift wrapped for them than the last one. They need to show solidarity and stay on the facts that it is time for a change. Not just in which party leads he country, but the way we think about ecology, morality, diplomacy, and financially.
That's all,
Stew
edit: So it seems that I am not alone on this. Here is a story from The New York Times (
