Tonight a sure to be sensation hit the net in the New Yorker Magazine with these money quotes
every story has seemed to reinforce an image of Clinton as a sort of ill-tempered coot driven a little mad by Obama’s success. “I think this campaign has enraged him,” the adviser told me. “He doesn’t like Obama.” In private conversations, he has been dismissive of his wife’s rival. James Clyburn, an African-American congressman from South Carolina, told me that Clinton called him in the middle of the night after Obama won that state’s primary and raged at him for fifty minutes.
FIFTY???
Is there any wonder where the acrimony comes from? For Bill Clinton, this has stopped being about Politics some time ago and has since become deeply personal. He's outright insulted by Barack's painting his years in office as contributing to the overall trouble in our economy (back to back bubbles certainly started with Bill & Greenspan)
Obama has been arguing that the country’s economic troubles are as much Clinton’s fault as Bush’s—he blames Clinton-era deregulation of the telecommunications and banking industries—and he implicitly accuses Bill Clinton of surrendering to special interests. “The problems we face go beyond any single Administration,” Obama told one labor audience. “For far too long, through both Democratic and Republican Administrations, the system has been rigged against everyday Americans by the lobbyists that Wall Street uses to get its way.”
This article really look deep underneath the surface of what's motivating Hillary and Bill to remain in the race. One's left wondering, Are they doing this for the Good of the Party? For the Good of the Country? Or to simply save Face?
Bill's made it way too personal. Let's hope this all ends very very soon.
