I'm an Obama supporter; but even I have to take issue with that. I think that relationship is symbiotic and each helped the other. Hillary has what it takes on her own.
My favorite illustrative joke (I should have remembered this in the joke diary) is, "What would Bill & Hillary be doing if they'd never met?" "Bill would be pumping gas in Arkansas, and Hillary would be married to the President."
Okay, it's a bit dated, but you get my point.
I have long maintained that Bill has held Hillary back over the years. She may have arrived here by a different route, most likely as a Justice Department bureaucrat coming up through the ranks to end up as state AG then governor of Illinois, but she would have gotten to this sooner had she not waited for Bubba's ambitions to be realized...
I completely agree. She set aside her aspirations to help Bill win elections (he lost the elections he ran in before he was married).
Ok maybe I stated it poorly (like my man obama sometimes does).
I just mean that someone with 6 years in elected office usually doesn't get a serious shot.. but she is married to the former president
Heck, Bush would have never got a real shot if his dad hadn't been president.
Obama is Bill Clinton part 2... young, inexperienced... but a rockstar.
that's what kills me about this race... Obama is in the same spot Bill was in during the 1992 election
