Bill Clinton is also a victim

This weekend, Bill Clinton joined in with Hillary and Ms. Ferraro in declaring themselves victims in this campaign. But I'm only going to talk about Bill Clinton here.

Bill Clinton says his comments were twisted. Here is a the YouTube video of his answer.

So in answer to the question "What does it say about Barack Obama that it takes two of you to beat him?", he said "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice in '84 and '88. And he ran a good campaign. And Senator Obama's run a good campaign. He's run a good campaign everywhere. He's a good candidate with good organization."

So, what was the reason for even brining up Jesse Jackson? His answer would have been right on target without the mention of Jesse Jackson. But Bill Clinton wanted to link the two together.

It's all spin now that he meant it as a compliment of some sort, but the truth is he was trying to link the two together, to say the Obama is like Jesse Jackson and will quickly fade like him, that a black candidate isn't a viable choice.

Now, Bill Clinton claims *he* is the victim of Obama using the race card. Sorry, but the facts just don't seem to hold here. Obama goes out of his way to avoid the race issue. He has not called any of the statements made against him as racist.

I can't decide if Bill Clinton is subconsciously wrecking his wife's run or if he's just a shrewd politician who believes that playing the victim will bring him and her campaign sympathy.

Either way, it's important to look at how the candidates behave during the campaign. Look at how the Clinton campaign has handled the ups and downs of the campaign. Then look at the Obama campaign and compare. These are glimpses into their future administrations.

If Clinton were somehow elected, expect to see a lot of playing the victim of the conspiracy of the press, of the right wing, of anyone who disagrees with them.

Come to think of it, that's how King George thinks.
