Wearing Out Their Welcome

People have just about had it with the Clintons, assuming of course, that Andrew Sullivan can be believed, and chances are that he can on this issue; there are plenty of other reports discussing the disillusionment people feel with the Clintons and their win-at-all-costs attitude. The question is whether this will translate into Democrats and independents staying home in the fall if Clinton is elected. I am sure that Democrats will generally patch their wounds, but if Obama decides that he doesn't want to make peace with the Clintons after having been the target of some incredibly unfair and disingenuous attacks, some Democrats may decide that the Clintons are not worth turning out for. As for the independents, I could easily see them doing what Sullivan anticipates--turning out for McCain and selecting him as the best hope for positive change in any race against the Clintons.
Meanwhile, Obama has decided to hit back against Bill Clinton. It's a good move and no one can blame him for being fed up. It is one thing for the former President to campaign for his wife; everyone knew that he would. But as many have pointed out, George Herbert Walker Bush did nothing to trash the Republican candidates who ran against his son for the nomination in 2000. The elder Bush did the right thing as a titular leader of the Republican Party. Too bad that Clinton has forgotten his responsibilities as a titular leader of the Democrats.

I think it will be a fine day when the Clintons show us how real they are when they go back to Arkansas and help that state out.
But I guess living in New York and being a part of the scene is a much more helpful way to provide for America.
The Clintons are all a sham, it's like a traveling circus, not a family.
He is letting the Clintons set the agenda.
He is swatting at Bill but losing to Hillary.
She gets to stand around all innocent and pose Presidential, while Bill gets to do the hard work.
The fact that Obama is an empty suit does not help, of course.
He is going down but will fight a little longer. He got bill boated after Kerry said he would be there to "stop him from being swift boated" where's KERRY looking for some more splinters to get a Purple heart for. Obama Toast
There, fixed it for ya!
Don't scare me like that. Almost had a stroke. Talk about killer typos!
