The little story during the campaign that the Clintons talking about Obamas paper in kindergarten where he stated he wanted to be president is one.
Why is it embarrassing for a kid to aspire to be president?
I've never understood how that was supposed to be a bad thing. I guess Clinton was trying to show that Obama was too ambitious. But most people are going to see ambition and trying to achieve your goals as a positive American trait, especially in a kid. That's why the story didn't go anywhere.
I don’t think the story was embarrassing to Obama at all.
But if the clintons found that, it made me wonder what else they found that they weren’t letting on to.
I think the real message of the story was the same as sending a hostage’s finger to the family- let them know what they got.
