2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Scathing blog by 3 AA women titled: Black People don’t OWE Hillary Clinton SHIT! [View all]Fumesucker
(45,851 posts)49. I thought this part was good..
Its that perception that assumes Hillary accomplished and qualified and yet have people surprised that for all the retroactive and automatic projection of smart and high-flying, she actually flunked the D.C bar exam, and only managed to pass the bar in Arkansas. She had no job offers in Arkansas none and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She was not hired at the prestigious Rose Law Firm, until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and she was made a partner only after Bill was elected Arkansas Governor.
So, here we have the supposed greatest politician of our time, who supposedly got President Obama a second term, but couldnt get his supposedly more accomplished and more qualified candidate wife elected in 2008 against the same no-name black guy who was supposedly wet behind the ears
And even now, having kneecapped and preemptively cleared the field, and lined up the entire political and economic establishment behind her, shes still having a tough time beating off the no-name guy from Vermont who only jumped into the race on a whim and without any advantages and all odds against him..
And now they demand the President endorse her or else

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.
