The UK Telegraph reports that our impeached and retired Narcissist-in-Chief, Bill Clinton is furious at Senator Obama for having the audacity to co-opt the Democratic Presidential nomination from his wife.
Evidently, similar to Israel’s Law of Return that enables every Jew anywhere in the world, who expresses a desire to settle in Israel, to do so, the President believes in a law of return for him to re-establish residency at the White House. As Jon Stewart quipped, the Clintons believe the White House to be their ancestral home.
The last time the Israeli law was used on a grand scale was during the famine in Ethiopia. While the rest of us tried to sing, with feeling, all the parts of Michael Jackson’s ensemble song,
We Are The World, more than 35,000 Ethiopian Jews were gradually airlifted to Israel.
President Clinton croaking, “I Am The World,” to anyone who hasn’t already tuned him out, has decided that what this country really needs at this critical moment of the 21st century, is more of his finger-wagging, 1950s racism-tinged, leadership.
According to the Telegraph, Mr. Clinton recently told friends that Mr. Obama should “kiss my ass if he wants my support.” While playing the race card yet again to patronize Senator Obama, Mr. Clinton continues to suffer from a persecution complex, claiming that the race card was wickedly used by Senator Obama against him.
America calling Mr. Clinton: Senator Barack Obama is now the legitimate and rightful leader of the Democratic Party. He is the container of the American peoples’ hopes and dreams for their future. For Mr. Clinton to patronize and disrespect Senator Obama shows a lack of respect for the electoral process and the American people. Senator Obama is the post-modern leader we have chosen to claim the Presidency for the 21st century. We believe that he will work hard to return sanity to our foreign policy, steer us from the military industrial complex to intelligent diplomacy, improve the economy, commit to the stewardship of the environment, forge ties across party lines, and reclaim our moral authority in the world.
President Clinton would do well to remind himself of the American people’s needs before his own, so as to maintain one last shred of dignity and the respect of those who support the Democratic Party's legitimate leader and nominee.
