Bill Clinton: Obama's Antagonist From Within

Obama and the Democrats must be wildly shaking their heads lately, over remarks made by Bill Clinton.  It just seems like Clinton is on a one-man quest to undermine every campaign strategy that Obama has conjured up.

For days, the Obama campaign had tried to make Romney look like a job killer for his leadership of Bain Capital.  And, as part of that leadership, team Obama was trying to convince the voters that Romney was not qualified to be president.  Well, in one fell swoop, Clinton shot those arguments down with the following two comments: "I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say this [Bain Capital] is bad work. This is good work...[and]...The man [Romney] who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold [for president]."

Then, just a couple of days ago, Clinton said that we should extend all the Bush Tax Cuts.  This after Obama has spent months trying to convince Americans that the Bush tax cuts for the rich should be left to expire.

These aren't just forgetful lapses by Clinton.  After all, Clinton is one of the most political savvy people in America today.  I think, in an odd way, Clinton is actually trying to push Obama into campaigning in a different direction.  I think he's trying to tell him to drop the Bain Capital and "unqualified" arguments that Romney can't be president.  At the same time, I think he feels that the attacks on the rich are not strategically wise.

Or, I could be dead wrong and Clinton is actually trying to shoot down Obama's reelection chance in retaliation for his treatment of Hillary in the lead-up to the 2008 primaries.
