This entitlement crap the Clinton's have going proves Obama's point about Washington experience not necessarily being a good thing. The longer the Clinton's and their cronies have had their tenticles in the Washington sewer the more it has corrupted their behavior and attitude. This is not the same Bill Clinton I spent years defending to my moderately conservative military husband. That Bill Clinton was not perfect, but compared to Newt Gangrene and the Republican revolts that took control of House in '94, he was pretty damned good. Now I see a man who is so corrupted by the access of power, influence and money, that he's got the cracked idea that he and Hillary are owed another stint in the White House. He thinks the voters owe them, the Democratic Party owes them, and anyone who ever supported them in the past owes them. And he's been at it for long enough to lose all sense of porpotionality or fairness. He's doing things I don't believe he would have done 20 years ago. In '92 he was the candidate of "hope", now he mocks it. You ever notice that a large part of the support they have is from long time Washington insiders with similar delusions of granduer. They are the old guard and they are about to be replaced over the next few election cycles with the new guard of millenial Progressives.
The Obama's haven't been in Washington long enough for that, and maybe they could withstand it better than most, but keep in mind that Michelle Obama said that they wouldn't be doing this again because she thought they would be too far removed from living like average Americans in 8 years to be able to see things like they do now.
Not everyone who goes to Washington succumbs to this crap. But the Clintons not only fell into the hole, but are digging as fast as they shovel to make it bigger everyday.
