RSSBill Clinton: Obama has to ‘kiss my *&%!’
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | June 29, 2008
Despite Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s show of unity yesterday at a rally in Unity, N.H., a senior Democrat adviser who worked for Bill Clinton said the former president is so enraged by the primary campaign that he has told friends Obama will have to beg for his full support.
The adviser told the London Telegraph even Clinton’s closest friends are shocked by his lingering fury.
“He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell,” the senior Democrat said.
“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my a** close quote, if he wants his support.
“You can’t talk like that about Obama - he’s the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around. Hillary’s just getting on with it and so should Bill.”
During the campaign, Clinton’s temper came to the forefront when he accused the Obama campaign of injuring his reputation by interpreting his remarks as racist.
A second source, a Democrat Party strategist who worked for one of the early rivals to Obama and Hillary Clinton, told the Telegraph Bill Clinton was keeping his distance because he did not believe the Illinois senator could win in November, despite his strong standing in current polls. Clinton called his prospects for victory “very unhopeful.”
“Bill Clinton knows the party will unite behind Obama, but he is telling people he doesn’t believe Obama can win round voting groups, especially working-class whites, in the swing states,” the strategist said.
