Joe Biden's got to be pissed over this. Of course, this is just SOP for Obama and Clinton. --- By Edward Klein President Obama made a secret deal to support Hillary Clinton when she runs for president in 2016, campaign sources say, payback for the support her husband gave him in 2012. Bill Clintonâs animosity toward Obama is legendary. A year before the last election, he was urging Hillary to challenge the sitting president for the nomination â a move she rejected. According to two people who attended that meeting in Chappaqua, Bill Clinton then went on a rant against Obama. âIâve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than Iâve heard from Obama,â my sources quoted Clinton as saying. âI have no relationship with the president â none whatsoever. Obama doesnât know how to be president. He doesnât know how the world works. Heâs incompetent. Heâs an amateur!â HUB-BUBBA: âThe Amateurâ says Bill Clintonâs animosity toward the president cooled only with a promised endorsement and a fawning January spot on â60 Minutesâ with Hillary. For his part, Obama wasnât interested in Bill Clinton upstaging him during the presidential campaign. He resisted giving him any role at the convention. But as last summer wore on, and Democrat enthusiasm waned, chief political strategist David Axelrod convinced the president that he needed Bill Clintonâs mojo. A deal was struck: Clinton would give the key nominating speech at the convention, and a full-throated endorsement of Obama. In exchange, Obama would endorse Hillary Clinton as his successor. Clintonâs speech was as promised; columnists pointed out the surprising enthusiasm in which he described the president. It also lived up to Obamaâs fears, as more people talked about Clintonâs speech in the weeks following than his own. But after his re-election, Obama began to have second thoughts. He would prefer to stay neutral in the next election, as is traditional of outgoing presidents. Bill Clinton went ballistic and threatened retaliation. Obama backed down. He called his favorite journalist, Steve Kroft of â60 Minutes,â and offered an unprecedented âfarewell interviewâ with departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The result was a slobbering televised love-in â and an embarrassment to all concerned. It is just one of the debacles that have marked Obamaâs second term, from Benghazi to the IRS scandal. While he was effective on the campaign trail, once in the Oval Office, he becomes a different person, one who derives no joy from the cut and thrust of day-to-day politics and who is inept in the arts of management and governance. Obama has made a lot of promises â and nothing ever happened. He once boasted that heâd bring the Israelis and Palestinians to the negotiating table and create a permanent peace in the Middle East. Nothing happened. He said heâd open a constructive dialogue with Americaâs enemies in Iran and North Korea and, through his special powers of persuasion, help them see the error of their ways. And nothing happened. He said heâd solve the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and put millions of people back to work. And nothing happened. He may yet try to back out of his promise to Hillary Clinton. But as Obamaâs presidency sinks deeper into scandal and inaction, the question is â will Clinton even still want his endorsement?
