I AM LEGEND
by Malik Isasis













Former President Bill Clinton is pissing vinegar these days as a certain amount of schadenfreude by the media has dusted off the inevitability of his wife, Presidential Candidate and Senator, Hillary Clinton; or should I say Presidential Candidate and Senator Barack Obama’s ability to Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast Clinton in Survivor: Presidential Campaign?

The Real Fairytale

"It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, enumerating the years, and never got asked one time--not once…Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen,” said political heavyweight Bill Clinton unraveling like a ball of yarn rolling down a flight of stairs on January 7, 2008.

Really, Bill? The 'biggest fairy tale I've ever seen?', even after 7 years of Bushworld?

Bill Clinton's anger toward Obama is displaced—where was his outrage at the media for giving the current President, George Bush a free hand at using the resources of the United States as a blunt instrument to rape and pillage the Middle East? Where was Bill Clinton’s anger when Hurricane Katrina pulled back the curtain on the Bush’s incompetence and leadership as New Orleans drowned? Where the hell was Bill Clinton’s anger in the past 7 years as he witnessed Bush flushed the country’s pride, economy and esteem down the shitter?

I'll tell you where his lips were--on the Bushes' asses, where he clings like a tick. Bill wants to be loved and accepted by the Republicans so much that he is willing to forgo his integrity and overlook the biggest heist of American treasury in U.S. history.

Bill Clinton’s displaced anger is self-serving. His and Mrs. Clinton’s anger is fueled by entitlement. It is this sense of entitlement that is causing them to lash out at Barack Obama for having the audacity to challenge their tightly written script of inevitability, and at the corporate media for pulling the carpet from beneath the feet of illusion that Hillary’s experience is all she needs.

Long ago the Clintons decided to become neoliberals who’ve sustained disastrous globalism policies, and unfettered corporatism, which has exacerbated the prison industrial complex, the military industrial complex, and the pharmaceutical/healthcare industrial complex. This so-called third way of winning philosophy created by the Democratic Leadership Council has cost the Democrats their political soul.

Entitlement has a way of co-oping integrity, and creating magical thinking within its host who tend to refuse to take responsibility for their failures. The cognitive dissonance makes their personal ambition, the nation's policy. Now that the game is changing the Clintons shouldn’t hate the player, but hate the game that they help sustain and corrupt.

Now that Barack Obama and reformed DLC member John Edwards have come along to awakened millions of young and uninspired voters from their stupor, the Clintons are finding that they’ve awakened abruptly from their very own fairytale.
