Remember the old saying; "Give a fool enough rope and he will hang himself"? Updating this axiom to today, simply change he/himself to her/herself. Bill Clinton's philosophy is driving Hillary's campaign and it is predicated on ultimately exhausting the spirit and enthusiasm of the Obama supporters. He believes that time is on his side and if they can by any means keep Hillary in the news constantly between now and June, that public fatigue over the entire Democratic nomination process will force the party to give her the nomination (in the order to save the party).

Aha Bill... time is also a two edged sword! Time provides more opportunities to make major blunders (such as the ducking from sniper fire lies). Further, time holds the door open for unexpected, unforseen events to come to pass. These events have a way of changing everything on the political scene in an instant. But most of all time allows her to accumulate more "rope" with which to politically "hang" herself. Another dimension to Bill's plan is that if during this period, the Clinton campaign is dealt a major blow for either internal or external reasons, Hillary will just dump Ms. Williams "under the bus".

Obama's task is simple, just keep his base interested and energized. This means that he has to keep his stump speeches fresh and interesting. Further, He should increasing ignore BillHillary as a means of edging them towards the brink of irrelevancy.

Time will tell...

Oh Yeah "Beloved", I never agreed with Tony Morrison's squeezing of puffed up President Bill Clinton at the White House, while gushingly anointing him "America's first black president"! Just like I never sided with James Brown when he bear hugged Richard Nixon on late night TV and called him "My President, My Man"!  

Time will tell...

Which probably means continuing his gradual edge leftward.

Kill because somebody was killed. Get killed because he killed. Do you think peace will ever come like that?

James Brown?  I knew Sammy Davis Jr. did that.  I can't imagine James Brown doing it.
