Will the Clinton’s be the undoing of the Obama for Presidency campaign? That is the question given the fact that Mrs. Clinton felt like she came within a heartbeat of securing the nomination and that she was treated unfairly during the race. Her husband certainly has expressed that and added, he didn’t appreciate being called racist. Now Hillary is talking about having her name submitted in the nomination convention.
A divided party can’t win and Obama knows it, but he has billed himself at the great uniter and in this context he may become a victim of his own success. Obama has characterized himself as a sort of modern day Messiah, the ultimate statesman that is going bring the Israelis and Palestinians together, he is going to bring Iran onto the same page with the rest of the world, he is going to heal old racial divisions in the US and tribal conflicts in Africa, but first he must unite his own party. If he can’t…he will be seen for what he is, just another politician who makes a lot of empty promises.
