Obama is too much of an idealogue. He will listen to his cronies ("Rev." Wright, Ayres, etc.) before Clinton's. Also, Sparky brought up a good point--a lot of the people in Obama's White House were there under Clinton. In Bill Clinton's eyes, Obama is the enemy, because the Obamessiah had the temerity to keep the Clintons out of the White House for another eight years. One thing that I've heard about Bill Clinton is this--he never forgets his friends, whether they be James Carville or George H. W. Bush (or George W. Bush for that matter--rumor was that Clinton and Bush were closer than Clinton and Gore), and he never forgives his enemies. Now, do you think that maybe the Clintons told said former employees that it would be alright to work for Obama . . . but to never forget just who got them there in the first place?
Just ponder that. It would be Bill Clinton's perfect revenge, with Chelsea positioning herself as an up-and-comer on the political scene.
I totally get what you're saying BUT you need to look at things going on now, IMO they view Pelosi as being somewhat responsible for the predicament that they're in (wrongfully so IMO, it's not only her) she needs to go, look how the establishment isn't sticking by Rangel and Waters, they're letting those 2 sink, I really think the establishment Democrats WANT to let Republicans take over, the far left Progressives need to be silenced hence Gibbs comments being made.
I thought for sure Hillary was going to challenge Obama in 2012, now I'm not so sure, rumors started going around that Biden would be replaced by Hillary in 2012, maybe that's what they want, they want to get Hillary's foot in the door, and some inconvenient things need to be taken care of and that's the far left, hence throwing Democrats like Rangel under the bus to get to their eventual goal, although Rangel and Waters were initially Hillary supporters so maybe Obama is throwing them under the bus for that reason.
I don't know, but I think there's an ulterior motive here somewhere, and I sure as heck don't trust Democrats at all. Maybe losing the House is the only way to wake Obama up to reality.
