Act Like a Former President

Bill Clinton's actions in this campaign are a disgrace to the office. Pat Leahy has had enough and he is taking Clinton on:

In Washington, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), who endorsed Obama last week, castigated the former president for what he called his "glib cheap shots" at Obama, saying both sides should settle down but placing the blame predominantly on Clinton.

"That's beneath the dignity of a former president," Leahy told reporters, adding: "He is not helping anyone, and certainly not helping the Democratic Party."

Talk-show host Ed Shultz hits him a little harder:



In their blood lust for power, the Clintons are threatening to destroy the very foundation of the Democratic Party coalition. What chance does Hillary stand in the general election in purple states like Missouri, Florida and Virginia if African-American voters don't turn out in their usual numbers? Is it really worth it to her to get the nomination if she has to destroy the Democratic Party in the process?

I think there is a backlash building within the Democratic Party against Billary's tactics. I'm just surprised there hasn't been more outrage.
