Elihaas:
You know fam, that whole fake it and wing it until you can make it way of the too slick that slick con that folks like the Clintons pull to wangle their way into mostly unearned esteem and inevitability
Its that slick spin that sells you the Bill Clinton is the greatest politician ever (sometimes they qualify that with the word retail) That it was all thanks to him and his one speech at the DNC that President Obama was re-elected
Its that same slick spin that force-feeds the notion of Hillary as the smartest, most accomplished, most qualified and most experienced female politician at first by virtue of having been first lady for 8 years, then because she carpetbagged her way into the Senate via their same strong-arming tactics, and lately, the laughable and blatantly false assertion that President Obama who declined to make her his V.P twice, somehow made her SoS because he trusted her judgement (It all boils down to that same extraction of concessions she repeatedly talked about last night as she and Bernie Sanders went back and forth on normalizing relationships with Iran. How ironic.)
And dont forget that it was *she* who advised President Obama on that very tough decision on whether to take Bin Laden out or not LOL For the duration of her time as SoS, President Obama mostly conferred with and relied on his National Security team led by Tom Donilon It was only after John Kerry took over as SoS, that we saw the natural and seamless coordination of high stakes foreign policy between the President and his SoS return..
It seems some of "us" ARE paying very close attention AND keeping it real.

OP
Maybe. But I think they make nice because they are both insiders of the party machine.

Obama doesn't take politics personal. I doubt he loathes her. Though they clearly hate him.

Hillary doesn't think and hasn't said that black people owe her anything. And black people also

It's just a little presumptuous that she believes certain states are Her Firewall.

Knowing where you perform best and feeling you are owed votes is entirely different

Nobody "owes" Hillary their support ... I can't think of anyone who's actually suggested that.
