Bill Clinton seems to have officialy thrown his hat in the ring just in time for the Democratic Primary in South Carolina. He is campaigning quite aggressively, if not badly.
You see, some big name democrats have apparently been observing Bill Clinton lately, and they don’t like what they see. The Clinton’s have taken the “best negative campaigning of 2008″ medal from Mitt Romney,(Maybe that explains the break-in.) and they are using it generously against Barack Obama. Bill has been the major culprit, claiming that the Obama campaign has been “feeding” the news media stories to keep “the race issue” alive and well in the race. At an appearance in South Carolina, Frm Pres. Clinton scolded CNN reporter, Jessica Yellin, who had asked the president for a short interview. “You know this is what they want you to cover.” he said, ” They just spin you up on this and you happily go along.” Also, when some aides tried to get him away in hopes of keeping him from sounding more stupid, he added, “Shame on you.”
Some big name democrats are taking notice of Bill’s stupidity. Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy called the recent allegations against Obama, “glib, cheap, shots”, and also rightly added, “That’s beneath the dignity of a former president.” Ted Kennedy and Rahm Emanuel have also privately talked to Clinton, and criticized his Obama attacks as too harsh. Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana publicly pondered whether the president’s behavior could cause a rift, and divide the party.
It seems apparent that once again, Bill Clinton is shamelessly embarrassing both his party and his nation. It also seems apparent that if this behavior continues, maybe an “inevitable” democratic victory won’t be apparent at all come November.
