It's become Bill's campaign, will it become his presidency?

I don't know, I have been hot and cold on Bill lately. He was great when he took on that little weasel on Faux, but lately he really isn't impressing.

What really gets me is that Bill isn't just "overshadowing" Hillary, he has taken over. Cafferty said that Bill was talking incessantly about "my Administration" on the stump today, not about his wife. It's the old Ram being challenged by the young buck apparently, after all Bill was the "change candidate". His behavior has become rather unseemly, and not fitting to his status as a former President. I mean, can you imagine the clips of Clinton calling Obama a "fairy tale" in a Republican commercial?  

Bill has to have the spot light, that's all there is to it. And my question is, if he has already taken over the campaign, what happens to the presidency? I think this guy has a pathological need for attention given how he is currently acting. As a therapist, I have to wonder if that's is what is behind his philandering "problem". I don't think he can stay out of the limelight, he would be bound to muscle in. Is it really ok to let a guy serve a third term, as long as he comes in the back door?

I don't know, this is really getting a little weird here. I hope America takes a good look at this.
