“It’s like living in a political twilight zone…”
“You ever watch those nature programs where the herd doesn’t hang out with the sick one? You got that poor sick antelope or whatever standing all by itself and when it tries to join back with the herd they run away from it? They’ll even attack it themselves if they have to. That’s what happens in politics. If you are in real trouble, the others separate from you. That is what is happening to the president right now.
As a loyal Hillary Clinton Democrat, I don’t dare hope that the “White House Insider” knows something that would explain Bill’s campaign decisions being in complete opposite contrast to Obama’s. Certainly Bill could have avoided this stop, in deference to BoBo.
Perhaps Bill knows how to position oneself….??
“How rich is the irony that the President Obama won’t endorse Caprio, but former President Clinton will,” one Democratic strategist told POLITICO Tuesday night. “Given this political fiasco, every democrat should seriously question whether the White House understands that their goal in 2010 is not to position themselves for a 2012 relection campaign on the poltical carcasses of good democratic candidates. Thankfully, President Clinton is focused on 2010 and saving ALL democrats.”
Bill Clinton is leading by example and reminding the party of what a bunch of fools they were for supporting Obama in 2008.
Bill Clinton is all about politics. He just happens to be the most popular Dem still willing to get out and campaign for others and besides, its not like he has a helluva lot else to do. Its all “been there, done that” for Bubba. What would really be odd is if he sat this one out!
Let’s hope the non-communist Dems appreciate the personal political capital Clinton is spending on their behalf. The Clintons owe nothing to the far-lefties… they’re simply a lost cause.
I’m sure Caprio can’t see it, but Obama did him a favor by not publicly endorsing him. Obama’s omnipotent persona is long and forever gone.
The Obama Dems are less than a week away from becoming an extremely small minority. By the time the tulips bloom in spring Obama himself will have become expendable in every sense of the word.
