The liberal elites have always hated the Clintons. They tolerated them because they thought it was the only way to win the big election, but they looked down on the Clintons as being backwoods southern hicks. They never forgave Bill C. for passing welfare reform.
They despised the “Third Way” because it involved compromising with the opposition.
Let's get a little tricky here, OK? What Joe K is really doing is making Obama look bad to benefit Hillary. No marketing mystery there. The gay Kenyan is slipping in the polls and by the time '16 rolls around he will really be the turd in the Democrat punch bowl. His recommendation? Could be the Kiss'O'Death.
Joe Klein and the Clinto/Soros camp are going through the separation stage with Barry.
"Ya see, I told, TOLD HIM, I say, not to do that in Benghazi!"
The "plan" has always been for the Gay Luo Lothario to take the heat ... while Hillary comes in and consolidates the Socialist State. Not only is she twice the ideologue, she is at least twice as smart that as the rather dim Obama is.
There is a possible alternative scenario for '16, too. By then the real economy will be so irretrievably bad that the Democrats may not even want the WH. The Communists are long-term thinkers and even the most optimistic economists I know are telling me "No recovery until the mid-20s."
