Det är viktigt att vi påminner oss om den väldiga politiska makt som paret Clinton har haft ända sedan 1992 när Bill Clinton vann sitt första presidentval.
Även efter det att Bill Clinton lämnade Vita Huset så har makarna fortsatt att ha total kontroll över det demokratiska partiet.
I det senaste kongressvalet leddes t.ex. demokraternas kampanj i representanthuset av Clintons nära förtrogne Rahm Emanuel, den enda av kongressledamöterna i Illinois, Obamas egen delstat, som har hittills har vägrat att stödja Obama.
Det är den makten som Barack Obama och dagens unga nu hotar.
Likt Nicolae och Elena Ceauşescu har paret Clinton helt enkelt blivit så vana vid makten och dess privilegier att de inte självmant kommer att erkänna sig besegrade.
Det är antagligen förklaringen till Bill Clintons allt vanligare vredesutbrott den senaste tiden.
Phillip Matier och Andrew Ross skriver i San Francisco Chronicle om Bill Clintons vredesutbrott:
Bill Clinton’s tirade stunned some delegates
But as the group moved together for the perfunctory photo, Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how “sorry” she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a “Judas” for backing Obama.
It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.
“Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,” a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.
The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media’s unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.
“It was very, very intense,” said one attendee. “Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns.”
Hillary Clinton har t.ex. haft en ställning och ett inflytande inom partiet som har varit oerhört mycket större än hennes roll som senator har gett sken av.
Om Obama blir demokraternas presidentkandidat och sedan besegrar den John McCain som kommer Hillary Clinton plötsligt bara att bli en av 100 senatorer och Bill Clinton enbart en sedan länge pensionerad president, som den äldre Bush, utan någon egentlig makt.
För de helt självupptagna Clintons är det inte en rolig framtid. Vilket förklarar deras Jihadkamp mot Obama och den yngre generationen här i USA.
