Bill's $24MM speech - Plus a prediction

Apparently (I say that cuz I have had more than enough of Bubba), Bill gave a great speech last night at the DNC Convention. If he is motivated, I would have expected no less - he does have the gift. Hillary? Well, I thought her speech was... tepid. I think she tried, but she just does not have the ability to give an impassioned speech when she is truly faking it.

I am interested in the 'why' of him doing this. It is well known that he is no fan of BHO. But, BHO has something that the Clintons need - money. BHO has been with-holding his help in repaying Hillary's campaign debt. There was wisdom in that decision.

It was basically political blackmail. BHO used the promise of the money to assure good behavior out of Bill and Hill.

Now - one has to presume that the debt will now be paid in short order.

After that??

It is clear that Hillary still wants to be POTUS. BHO is an obstacle. Look for her to try to derail him prior to the election. It will be subtle if she does it herself. But her surrogates - not subtle at all. Look for things to hit the MSM. (One that comes to mind - the forged birth certificate the BHO is peddling to establish his citizenship. The MSM has not touched it yet.)

But, my prediction - this (or something similar) will be Hill's October surprise.

Then, if BHO can be derailed - she will be free to position herself for the top spot in 2012...... Never, ever, underestimate the cunning of the Clinton machine.

I think that if Congress lifts the ban on drilling anytime soon, the oil prices falling will be enough to bring down BHO's compaign. He's so against drilling bc it "won't bring any present releif". But, when it does (and it will), he isn't going to look very good...Who wants a president who fights against the people's wants and needs? Not me!

Great analysis of the Clinton's- I was definitely wondering what there motives were. I was thinking about why Obama was stupid enough to have them dominate the convention (which they did), but maybe it was all fixed from the beginning. Withholding the money gave them the incentive to play nice as did Bill's opportunity to create his own legacy in the Democratic party. I heard, for the first time on Fox News, a reporter refer to the "Clinton Democrats" after his speech. Pretty funny, considering he spent the last 6 years in office doing nothing (other than interns.) The first two years, if analyzed carefully, show that he WAS too inexprienced to make foreign policy decisions. I look forward to your analysis of Obama's speech.
