How Clinton plans to upstage Obama at the DNC

Not since the feud between Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter tore the Democratic Party apart more than 30 years ago have two panjandrums of the party loathed each other quite as much as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
And yet this week, television viewers will be treated to a remarkable spectacle at the Democratic National Convention: Clinton will stand before a cheering throng of delegates on Thursday night and deliver a primetime speech nominating Obama, a man he once dismissed as incompetent, as president of the United States.
The Clinton-Obama feud is the worst-kept secret in the Democratic Party. It traces back to the bruising 2008 primary campaign, when Obama’s surrogates lambasted Bill and Hillary for being “racists” and a Clinton aide said of Obama that he “embraces the politics of trash.” The animosity still stirs such deep emotions that a year ago Clinton held a secret meeting of friends and political advisers at his home in Chappaqua and urged his wife to challenge Obama for the party’s presidential nomination in 2012.
According to two people who attended the meeting, Hillary rejected her husband’s advice that she run against a sitting president of her own party. But that didn’t stop Bill Clinton from going on a rant about Obama.
“I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!”

Seriously....you consider that last post getting 'bent out of shape'? LOL. I suppose, having only been a Freeper since November of last year, you've never seen a real fire fight around here.
Cutting to the chase; the point I was making was, you expect entirely too much from people as shallow as rank and file Democrats. They're not going to nominate the 'old lady' of their party four years hence, when she's even more worn out and even more irrelevant than she is today.
Sure, she's got the right leftist ideology for them, but she doesn't have the 'it' factor, which means even more to them. Their 'thinking' (in the way of presidential preferences) is even more superficial than the hollow platitudes and buzz words that pass for reasoning amongst them.
“For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.”
Any credibity just went out the window with the 3rd grade noob bully attempt.
Best thing I can tell you is that some things are not always as they seem.
Good evening.
"Bully attempt"? I merely laughed at your characterization of my previous post as me being "bent out of shape".
You really need to grow a hide if you expect to last around here, my friend. The conversation you and I are having is kid's stuff compared to the responses you would get from some of our less diplomatic regulars.
Bottom line - you're gonna get your feelings hurt on this forum if you can't tough your way through a simple disagreement about what some has-been politician will, or will not do.
Laterz.
LOL
Go peddle your Uhaul “Texan” horsehokey somewhere else.
What's this? An ad hominem response? Did someone get their iddy biddy feewings hurt? How precious.
I can tell you're gonna be all kinds of fun to play with.
