Exactly ChrisWWW - the Clintons are very destructive and will wipe out whatever obstacles they have to in order to achieve their goals. Barak would be a complete fool to appoint her as his running mate. If he does, he should really watch his back.

I don't think that'd be a sign of Hillary's brilliance. More like destructive egotism.

Well...good luck with that goal, then , Hillary...we'll see just how successful she will be. Hopefully enough voters can see thru her. And if not, then we get (once again) what we deserve.

You seem to think that her goal is a Democrat in the White House - but that was only true if that Democrat was her. Since it won't be, she will work subtly to torpedo his campaign - ergo enter Bill Clinton.

She is not worried about her party's best chance - she wants to be able to say to the party leadership after Obama fails, "See, I told you I was the best choice. Next time you'll listen."

That is the only way she has a shot in 2012.

Ah yes, bravo Hillary for continuing to do what she can to torpedo her parties best chance of winning back the White House.
Way to go!
If Obama is smart, he will regulate Bill to playing sax with the band.

I think this is really all part of Hilary's brilliance - her way of getting back at Obama. There is little dispute that Bill did nothing to help her campaign. He was a source of constant embrarrassment to her. There are many that believe it was Bill's influence and blunders that cost her the nomination.

Now she is sending him to "help" Obama. Right.

I see it as her playing the game of looking nice and playing the part of loyal supporter all the while knowing that sending Bill will do nothing but hurt her former rival. It's a great move on her part.

And Obama is stuck - he can't refuse Bill's help without looking bad - so he is stuck with the proverbial white elephant.

Bravo, Senator Clinton, bravo.

The Clintons and obama are saying all the nice things to put on a front.
Bill Clinton despises Obama and I would think the feeling is mutual.
I think Obama goaded Clinton in Nevada with his Reagan remarks and downplaying Clinton's influence as it was his weak spot. It set Bill off who retaliated by his SC games.
It was a tit for tat. Bill is pissed because he let Obama get to him in the political game.
But, I think personally Bill has a deep jealousy of Obama. He sees himself older and out of the spotlight. And carries his less then stellar legacy with him.
Obama is young, Bill's age when he was elected, and more charismatic and brilliant. But, Obama doesn't have the flaws of Bill.
There was a drama of older man out of his prime seeing the younger one - more polished and smarter - taking over. The Clintons controlled the party for 20 years and were the royalty of democrats. Suddenly, overnight, this young guy is now in control of the party. It's his era now.
The rookie usurped the master. And so, bill carries alot resentment.
Bill also knows that unlike other democrats, Obama doesn't need him. Obama can do just fine, and probably better without Bill around. Besides, Bill carries no coattails and has never been able to help anyone but, himself get elected.
Lots of psycho drama going on.
