Obama and the Clintons (cont.)

I agree with Laura, but I also think mostly the Clinton's are bitter over Bill and Hillary Clinton's collective legacy and how they feel about how they were perceived by the media during the primaries.
Bill Clinton is an ex-president, one of only 4 still alive, someone who should be treated with the honor and dignity and trappings befitting the highest office in the land. Someone noted for his hyper-sensitivity as well as his political savvy. Despite his polarizing stint as a cheerleader for his wife, the media portrayed Clinton as an angry, bitter surrogate, desperate to get his word in and maintain his legacy as well as a modicum of control within the campaign, and nearly humiliated him for "stooping so low as" to go out to Bumpkinville, America four or five times a day to try and russle up the Wal-Mart vote for his wife.
Hillary's campaign was very nearly called everything but a disgrace by the end of the primary and finger after finger from the media pointed out the many reasons she herself as a candidate and her campaign failed to clinch the nomination despite assembling a who's-who troupe of some of the biggest and brightest names in politics and being praised as the "presumptive Democratic nominee" months before the first contests started.
There were countless "why she failed" articles penned by the media, even before the primary was over. And having embarrassing spotlights on all of the "Clinton family drama" highlighting their headline-making campaign strife was probably extremely hard for the anointed royalty of Democratic politics to deal with; coupled with watching their collective legacies burn to the ground as the public -- as well as the elected representatives of the American left -- embraced their young new champion I imagine would leave anyone beet-red with supplanted rage.
Everything seemed so calculated and imminent for Hillary and yet it didn't happen.
The Obama campaign, of course, playing smart politics, did nothing to stop the media's joyride into Clinton RIP-land and probably for that I don't see them becoming bff's anytime soon no matter how many rally's in Unity, America are held.
The Obama campaign's waffling on helping to retire Clinton's debt while Obama himself still has to spend and raise millions to battle a crack juggernaut of a Republican attack machine probably has both sides pointing fingers as to who deserves those rich donors' money more than the other.
And those poor wealthy donors, bless their hearts, are probably getting tired of writing so many damn checks.
