    One of Hillary's advisers believes Obama is in league with those behind the email leaks. According to him [Clinton's advisor] Obama hates Bill Clinton while his wife and chief adviser hate Hillary Clinton. Worried that should Hillary be president the Clintons will compromise his [Obama's] "accomplishments" they'll back anyone who can carry on his legacy. Once Clinton's name is tarnished enough, Biden will announce his candidacy . . . and possibly, get to be the Dems nominee.

    No surprise, really, on the Biden situation. I wrote about the no love lost business earlier, to whit, http://www.bullmarketboard.com/threads/5723-Musing-on-2016 but since then I haven't heard of any move by Biden. The one update to my post is the curious happening this past weekend. If I heard it correctly, Bill and Barack played golf; no specific information on what was discussed has surfaced. My best guess, based on nothing more than my cynical mind, is Bill was pushing Obama to go slow (or stop) the DOJ/FBI investigation of the email server.

    I don't think that was the case. There are no friends in politics but Obama would prefer a Democrat in the white house than a Republican who would do more damage to his legacy. I think Hillary Clinton has a better shot at the presidency than Biden and if Obama tarnishes Clinton's name then he risks Republicans that hate him more getting into the white house.

    I'm not a huge fan of conspiracy theories, but this one has merit, imho. The vitriol between the Clinton and Obama camp is legendary. And BO removing her from the running opens to door to a Obama-backed candidate like Biden. So, I think it is possible.

    I've been hearing for months that Valerie Jarrett is behind the leaks. Wouldn't surprise me.

    I think Bill doesn´t like Obama, but the reverse is not true. Obama beat the snot out of Hillary, if anything he is a little arrogant about it. Obama specifically gave Hillary Secretary of State to give her a foreign experience resume for when she ran after him. Obama has never made anyone else really high profile in his administration.. their is no heir-apparent.

    I disagree. Perhaps it is my conspiracy-tainted mind but I think Hillary was chosen by following the old adage of keeping your friends close and enemies closer. I believe Obama didn't want the Clintons firing rim shots from afar. Swish...

    Agreed. This was obviously done by the Obama admin to make an awkward peace and somewhat placate the Clinton political machine that just about everyone fears so much. The same way Michael Corleone threw the Rosato brothers a few bones to keep them happy. :D
