Apparently, President Bill Clinton is taking his wife's primary loss a lot harder than previously thought. This would explain a lot. It had been alleged in media circles that the primary reason Hillary stuck in the primary race was at her husband's insistence. Looks like he wanted the nomination more than his wife! Bill has been miffed by the way Obama campaign framed him as a racist. They went one step further by tarnishing his legacy as part of the "old politics" that has divided our country. And who can forget Obama's priceless quote:
I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn’t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing.
So should Obama kiss Bill Clinton's ass as he suggests? Should he even go one step further and pick Hillary as his running mate? Going by the Bubba's bitter state of mind, Sen. Obama would be doing himself more harm than good having Hillary as his Veep. You get the sense that Bill would be doing everything within his power to sabotage an Obama presidency. But Obama has no choice but to at least give the appearance of reaching out to Bill without compromising his newfound status as the leader of the Democratic party. Obama, kissing Bill Clinton's ass - yeesh!
