Bill Clinton.....what everyone is misreading.....

The drive by media, and Bill Clinton's friends/advisors, are pushing one singular narrative: That Bill Clinton is steamed he was called a racist in the primary, he blames Obama for it, and that is why he is not eager to help Obama. But I am not buying it for a second.

Bill Clinton is a seasoned politician. He can take a punch. He understands the game. What he doesn't like is not being a part of it. What the long primary showed was that he is no longer the focal point of that family, his wife is, and I think it drives him nuts, and will lead him to continue to try and undermine Obama and Hillary.

Obama isn't trying to paper over Bill Clinton, but he is also not actively courting him. Obama is dealing strictly with Hillary, and that, I believe, is why Bill is so upset. By Obama focusing all his attention on Hillary, Obama is further alienating Bill Clinton from the political game he loves. Yes, Clinton is a former president, but his wife has the juice now.

So for the next 24 hours, the press is going to analyze over and over the Bill impact and why there is a rift. The answer is that Bill Clinton is still a politician with considerable skill and desire to play the game, but no one is asking him too and he knows no one will. So he is doing the only thing he knows how to do: stir up trouble by acting disinterested and giving tepid endorsements at best to Obama. He is being a child. He is the kid in the freezer isle at the grocery store throwing a tantrum. He wants everyone to pay attention to him again. He wants to be the center of attention, and what is killing him the most though, is that now it is and forever will be, Hillary.

Bill Clinton is jealous of his wife more than he is jealous of Obama. Her losing the race for presidency was a deathblow to Bill Clinton's dreams. Had she went on to be president, he would still be considered the puppet master and he would be a world player again. But now, she has battled through a tough primary and lost, and at the very least has assumed the role of top political animal in the Clinton household. Now she will try and go on to be a great senator, while Bill is just a former president doing charity work. He no longer has any way to play with the levers of power, and it is eating him alive.

He is a small, petty, jealous, and selfish man. He can't stand that his wife is the top power broker in the household now. No matter what he says tomorrow night...I fully expect him to continue to his childish antics through November, and if Obama wins, beyond.

What worries me most is that him and Carville have something cooking for tomorrow's speech...just some way to stick it to Obama.
