Why Sen. Clinton No Longer Gets The Benefit Of The Doubt From Me

Published May 24, 2008 in Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

“[T]here is nothing to base that on. As far as I know”

“Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again”

“There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

“[T]he activist base of the Democratic Party… [T]hey are very driven by their view of our positions, and it’s primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don’t agree with them. They know I don’t agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me.”

“Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act,” Clinton said. “It took a president to get it done.”

Bonus quotes from Bill Clinton:

“[I] opposed Iraq from the beginning”

“It’s the caucuses that have been killing us”

“Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in ‘84 and ‘88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here.“

And don’t forget about Bill’s “this entire thing is the biggest fantasy I’ve ever seen” (Not an exact quote.)

And of course, Hillary comparing MI and FL to the civil rights struggles and Zimbabwe.

All revealing. But why mute about all this talk of Clinton as VP, OW? Would you just go with Obama’s verdict, whatever it is? Or have you spoken and I missed it?

I don’t know about Oliver, however the choice is up to Obama.
But after this weekend I wouldn’t put much stock in Clinton as VP, especially since the Clinton campaign is now trying to blame Obama for the fury over her stupid remarks re. RFK.

“The Obama campaign … tried to take these words out of context,” Clinton campaign chairman Terence R. McAuliffe said on “Fox News Sunday.” “She was making a point merely about the time line.”

What a bunch of losers!
