The 2nd Black President
Today’s controversy over poaching delegates
is just another in a long series of unappealing Clinton statements. It’s hard to understand how these unsavory missteps could come from the savviest political couple around. Especially the ones from Bill Clinton.
Here’s my theory, and I say this only half-jokingly. Bill Clinton secretly wants Obama to win. Maybe he likes traveling around the world as a celebrity raising millions of dollars for AIDS medicines for Africa. We certainly know that he enjoys the attention. What if a Hillary presidency kills all of that, at least his mind? And what if she’s got the goods on him and will spill some serious Bill beans unless he totally plays ball and campaigns his heart out for her? And maybe he like Obama, and sees a little bit of himself in this charismatic young man.
So Bill hits the trail and intentionally says and does all of these things to piss off democratic voters. It’s almost too obvious. Think about it. He’s the slickest politician of our era right? He knows better, right?
