I get the feeling this is more about revenge for Bill Clinton than the good of the country |

I think that having the Republicans impeach him over a blow job pissed him off to no end, and rightly so! He should have been upset over that. However, the way he is acting now I get the feeling he is in an emotionally unstable state of mind and he is so determined to be back in the Whitehouse so he can give them the finger, he has forgotten about party unity and that the presidency is about much, much more than revenge.
Bush Jr. seemed to want to avenge his fathers lost election and now Bill seems to want to avenge being impeached by a bunch of low life Republicans. In the words of John Edwards "This is personal to me" but for Bill it's personal for the wrong reasons.
Any psychologists here? What do you think about Bill's odd behavior the past few weeks?

1. If being a politician is bad psychology, we have a very big job ahead of us. |

2. It does seem that Bill is acting on his own needs, rather than... |
|
...doing what's best to get his wife elected. Just an observation; I'm not a psychologist.

3. I think what he went through was VERY painful and took a heavy toll on him |
|
However, I would rather him get some counseling than try to get revenge.

7. It's a strange situation, him working so closely with Poppy Bush... |
|
...having been torn apart by the Republicans. Hard to tell what's fueling this behavior, but he doesn't look well to me. I hope he's okay ~ and I really feel for Hillary ~ but watching him the last few weeks makes me want to pass on Clinton White House, Part Two.

4. Bill Clinton is destroying his legacy due to his lust for winning |
|
I do not think Bill even wants to be back in the WH he just wants to win, at no costs, and it is backfiring and hopefully it continues to do so. Americans do not want or need this type of politics.

9. No possibility than, as an American, he simply believes Hillary is better able? |
|
Some folks think Bill would murder Chelsea and have a sex change operation if it would guarantee what they (not he) think of as his 'legacy.'

13. Or maybe he wants this for his wife? |

Maybe he is a husband who, right now, will do everything in his power to do what he can to help his wife get what she wants the most? After what he put her through, maybe he did let himself go, and did the one unpardonable sin for a politician: show too much emotion?
Whatever, maybe it was a wrong choice for a politician. But maybe a right choice for a husband. It must be a living hell to have to live your private life in public.

6. Why is he taking it out on another Dem |
|
while he sucks up to the assholes that impeached him. Maybe he's just a mean vindictive SOB with a bit of a bully streak and he's scared to pick on those he perceives as bigger and stronger than him (bush and the repubs). If you'll recall he never showed a lot of political courage as president.
I predict if Hillary gets the nomination he'll turn into Mr Nice Guy and the whole campaign will become a love fest. The repubs will tear her apart but he won't say a word.

12. I think you are on to something..... |
|
And I do go on record as one who thought the great penis hunt the GOP embarked upon with the silly impeachment was completely assinine.
That being said, his behavior and Hillary's sense of political entitlement are clearly exposing their motives in this election. And they are not pretty by any stretch. On top of that, Democrats AND Republicans are getting the same red flags on her, for very valid reasons. If she gets the nom, we can say hello to four more years of a Republican president.
