Obama-Clinton soap opera takes new turn
Politico via Yahoo! News ^ | 11/11/08 | Amie Parnes, Glenn Thrush

Michelle Obama wasn’t always an admirer of Hillary Clinton, but last Wednesday the soon-to-be first lady dialed up the former first lady for pointers on protecting her two young daughters from the media maelstrom of the White House.

“Michelle may not have loved the senator, but she always respected how the Clintons raised Chelsea,” said a person familiar with Clinton’s end of the call. “They need to talk. There just aren’t too many people who have shared that kind of experience.”

"These tensions have created a somewhat schizoid relationship between Clinton and the Obamas"

Give credit to Politico for using perfect word to describe both of these whacko families.

Remember that news conference where Bill Clinton said that he still had relevance?

Does Hillary Clinton still have relevance in the political world? She was seen as a rising star and a potential next president in the Senate in recent years. Now that her campaign failed, will she still be perceived as a power player on Capitol Hill? Some are saying that the world will have moved on by the next time she could run for president, in 2016.

Just wondering how much political clout the Clintons still have. People don’t have to be nice to Hillary thinking that she could be the next president anymore.

Sarah Palin is more qualified for giving her some pointers on coping with the press' attacks on family.

She has more experience.

Rule #1, Keep your daughters away from the real father.

Rule #2, Dont let your daughters get drunk around any Africans.

Hillary will become the next “Ted Kennedy” of the senate.

A fat blowhard who thinks they are more important than everyone else.

Hillary to Michele; “Well first Michele, I kept our daughter away from her Dad. You don’t ever know WHAT is going on in that office. I suggest you do the same.”

Suggested title for a new daytime soap opera a la ‘West Wing’.

“As the Stomach Turns”

We are going to drown in a deluge of these “feel good, loving Obama family” crap for the next four years. Everyday, photos of the little rug rats going off to private school, and NOT in the D.C. Hood public schools. Photos of their first Muslin pajama party. Photos of their first Halloween going for candy in Georgetown where the rich Marxists all live. Hold your noses and plug your ears. Better yet, don't turn on the A-B-C networks or buy a Marxist paper.

What about this scenario: The Messiah tanks...Hillary takes him on again as the “See I told you so candidate” and maybe, just maybe takes him out. She’ll have no chance at all in 2016. It’s now (2012) or never for her.

One sign of this happening is if any anti-ACORN/anti-voter fraud legislation comes up. If Hillary is planning a coup, she will need the vote fraud eliminated to succeed.

I never thought I’d be thinking good thoughts about any of the Clintons.

Michelle, the smurf-faced one? She a nightmare. Look at her walking in heels. Jimminy! I think what prompted my outburst is the fact that I’ve ALWAYS HATED that, “You can love the Clintons or hate them, but you HAVE TO ADMIT they did a great job raising Chelsea!” I still remember her walking down PA Ave during the 2nd inaug, dressed like a two dollar whore. Great Job!
