Bill Clinton Clings To His Grudge Against Barack Obama
By Robert Paul Reyes
Top three reasons why Sen. Barack Obama didn't select Hillary Clinton to be his running mate: Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton sabotaged his wife's chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination by repeatedly playing the race card during the long primary season. Clinton also blew any chance that Obama would choose his wife as his Veep by constantly denigrated Obama and failing to give him the support he deserves as the Democrat's standard bearer.
If Hillary wants to be president eight years from now, she must divorce herself from her husband, literally and figuratively.
In the midst of the Democratic Convention Slick Willy is still doing his best to make sure Obama doesn't win the general election.
In a speech the other day, Clinton said:
"'Suppose you're a voter, and you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?'
Clinton added after a pause: 'This has nothing to do with what's going on now.'" Associated Press
This is a none too subtle dig at Barack Obama, Clinton should be persona non grata at the Democratic convention. After Clinton's big speech tonight at the convention, Obama should distance himself from Slick Willy.
