Rumors of Hillary Clinton Sabotaging Obama’s Chance for Presidency Abound…could it be true?
By Michael Lang on Apr 25, 2008 in Featured
Rep. James E. Clyburn, an undeclared delegate and the highest-ranking African-American in Congress sought Friday to clarify statements he made criticizing Bill Clinton and implying that was trying to sabotage Barack Obama. (see video)
Clyburn said, “There are African-Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that she can’t win this. But they’re hell-bound to make it impossible for Barack Obama to win."
WOW! Now I, and many other in and out of the blogosphere have been aghast, angry and saddened that the Clintons have lowered themselves to run a shameless and selfish campaign that has placed "the prize" above all else. It has caused many longtime Bill and Hillary supporters, like myself, to disavow their previous loyalty.
“I’m not saying anything that people aren’t saying among themselves, and many of them are saying it to me,” Clyburn said on MSNBC. “"That’s all I was saying, that people are saying this. I think it’s a great concern,” adding that he isn’t among those who believe that Hillary Clinton is trying to sabotage the party.
Clyburn also made remarks to the New York Times, calling Bill Clinton’s conduct “bizarre.” Clyburn said the former president’s conduct in this campaign had caused what the newspaper described as possibly being an “irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African-American constituency that once revered him.”
On MSNBC, Clyburn said that this is something he’s been saying since the beginning of the year, when Clinton seemed to be the front-runner.
“I said [this] in January, when we had the debate down at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that ‘Bill Clinton needs to chill out.’" he said. "That was in January. At that point, everybody thought that this thing would be over on Super Tuesday and that the leading candidate for the nomination would be Hillary Clinton. That’s certainly what I thought. And even then, I thought the president was saying things that would anger black voters. Now we are down almost into May and I’m saying the same thing. The only difference is that this time there’s another person that’s in the lead who happens to be African American.”
“We have nine contests left. The conduct of this campaign in Indiana and North Carolina could very well be determinative of what we will have after we get a nominee,” he said. Clyburn said also added that party unity will depend on the second-place finisher. “If Hillary Clinton walks off the playing field, Obama is in trouble. If Obama walks off the playing field with Hillary Clinton as the nominee, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, would be in trouble.”
Clyburn urged Democrats to consider the good of the party. “We’re in a very critical point in this process and if we’re not careful, we could do irreparable harm. We’re trying to do something that’s never been done in this country before.”
