This could be damaging because up to this point, Obama scored much higher than Hillary in the honesty department. His excuse for casting these bad votes will not be believed by the voters and could be the first major crack in his “honesty and integrity” armor.
Why has Bill Clinton been so out of control? Wagging the finger at reporters this year exactly the same
way he did at the camera when he declared “I
never had sex with that woman!!!”
The reason is simple: It’s his only chance to secure his
place in history as a quasi-great president.
Should Hillary win, it would not only reinforce that the
country once again needed the Clintons, but that the 2000 Bush victory (in
between the two Clinton presidencies) was an historical blip; a mistake in
fact, because thousands of Gore voters
in Florida didn’t know how to fill out the ballots properly. Therefore, a victory by Hillary would simply
correct that historical wrong, and should Hillary Clinton go on to have a
successful presidency, Bill Clinton’s presidency would be looked upon far more
favorably by history.
On the other hand, should Hillary go down, Bill’s presidency
will be remembered 20 years from now the same way it’s remembered today; as a
disgraced impeached president whose most notable achievement was being fodder
for Jay Leno every night. No one will
remember that
That’s why he needs Hillary to win so badly.
And that’s why his negative campaigning against Obama (which
has gone totally against everything he’s ever stood for) had been so out of
control that it has in fact backfired in Obama’s favor.
