Obama and Clinton Still At War

It is interesting how this article describes how the Clintons are currently acting.

One senior Obama supporter said the Clinton associates negotiating on her behalf act like “Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific still fighting after the war is over.”

It also describes Bill Clinton as protecting his legacy even if it would destroy Obama. I would be willing to bet that Bill Clinton is going to make a deal with Obama in order to get some kind of cabinet post. Also I think Hillary will be in the Obama White House in some capacity.

The former president is disappointed, associates said, because he is eager to speak about the economy and more broadly about Democratic ideas — emphasizing the contrast between the Bush years and his own record in the 1990s.

This is an especially sore point for Bill Clinton, people close to him say, because among many grievances he has about the campaign Obama waged against his wife is a belief that the candidate poor-mouthed the political and policy successes of his two terms.
