Bill Clinton is a lot of things, but he is not stupid.\u00a0 Yet he has done several things recently that have created serious problems for Obama.\u00a0 One was the wording in the infamous Obama commercial lathering self praise on Obama for daring to order the assault on Osama bin Ladin.\u00a0 While appearing to praise Obama, Clinton actually skewered him.\u00a0 Perhaps this was accidental, but one has to wonder.<\/p>\n
Then Clinton gave an interview where he said that he considered Obama to be incompetent\u00a0when Obama was running for election in 2008.\u00a0 More recently Clinton gave a speech criticizing the Obama tax the rich strategy.<\/p>\n
Now we have some unknown candidate running against Obama in the Arkansas primary.\u00a0\u00a0 Hmmmm.\u00a0 Arkansas.\u00a0 What President of the United States comes from Arkansas?\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 Bill Clinton comes from Arkansas.\u00a0 What a coincidence.\u00a0 What would happen if some unknown actually beat Obama in the Arkansas primary?\u00a0 It wouldn’t exactly be a strong endorsement for four more years.<\/p>\n
A few days ago Hillary Clinton appeared in public wearing glasses and without makeup.\u00a0 Since the woman is famously vain, I found this curious.\u00a0\u00a0I question whether the Clintons do anything without an agenda.\u00a0\u00a0I am pretty certain that this was not an innocent mistake.\u00a0 So I asked myself what Hillary might do if she still harbored hopes of somehow\u00a0sneaking in and taking the nomination away from Obama at the convention.\u00a0 She would try to position herself as totally above the frey, just a humble and willing servant, reluctantly available as a draft candidate.\u00a0 Very Clintonian.<\/p>\n
What better way to do that then to put on such a public show of having no interest in any political office.\u00a0 Hillary shrugged this off as reaching the point in her life when she is no longer influenced by political ambition.\u00a0 Since it was Dick Cheney, not Hillary, who had a heart transplant, I seriously doubt she had a legitimate change of heart.<\/p>\n
Rush Limbaugh noticed this and even commented about it.\u00a0 Who knows?\u00a0 What we do know is that Clinton is certainly not helping Obama’s cause and lately there have been a lot of “coincidences” that are a little too convenient.\u00a0 Every time Obama tries to get back on message, something knocks him off stride.\u00a0 A recent example was the “discovery” of a brochure promoting his autobiography claiming Obama was born in Kenya.\u00a0 Now we have top Democrats like Newark Mayor Booker and former Governor Ed Rendel ripping Obama for criticizing Bain Capital.<\/p>\n
At a time when Obama needs to tighten up his lies and distortions about the pathetic economy, and launch his vicious personal assault on Mitt Romney, he has to respond to damaging distractions.\u00a0 At first I thought Mitt Romney made a major mistake by public promising to condemn anyone who brought up Reverend Wright.\u00a0 Then I remembered that Mitt Romney is much brighter than John McCain and he has already demonstrated a willingness to play political hardball.\u00a0 I think what Romney is doing is making sure the Wright interview is receiving maximum coverage by pretending to do the opposite.<\/p>\n
Among other things, Reverend Wright said that Obama struggled with keeping his Muslim heritage while still embracing Christianity.\u00a0 That may make sense to someone as naive and incompetent as Bill Maher, but it won’t impress anyone who understands the core values of Christianity.\u00a0 Wright also said the Obama campaign offered him a bribe to keep his mouth shut.\u00a0 That, among other things, would be a felony.<\/p>\n
At a minimum there have been some “things” happening to Obama and they have mostly been bad.\u00a0 There seem to be a few too many coincidences to dismiss off hand.\u00a0 At least some of this stuff seems to have been leaked within Democratic circles.\u00a0 Perhaps its just me, but it is starting to looks like the last four letters of democrats are leaving the Obama Ship of State.<\/p>\n
