    Hillary Clinton Takes A Play From Hubby's Playbook To Cover Blunder

In a move taken directly from the Bill Clinton political playbook, Hillary Clinton in an attempt to take the heat off of her, "misspoken, " remembrance of her trip to Bosnia, under, "sniper fire, " came out for the first time concerning her opinion about controversial Barack Obama preacher Jeremiah Wright.

Stating that he, "would not be my preacher, " in reference to the statements that have been made about The United States by Wright and the reference of God, "d*****g America rather than blessing her, Clinton not only condemned the statements but in essence made a political indictment about Obama for standing behind Wright and not distancing himself from the controversial preacher.

What makes this so blatantly political is the fact that until yesterday Clinton had considered this subject something that she chose to NOT talk about even when questioned. She has avoided this like the proverbial, "plaque, " whenever approached about the subject. Yet now that she has come under fire because of her claim that she was visiting Bosnia as First Lady and came under, "sniper fire, " upon landing, a statement made at least three times during this campaign and has be refuted both by eye witness and video accounts, Clinton now jumps on the Wright controversy to take the heat off of her.

This is a classic move taken directly from her husbands political playbook, redirect when things get hot in order to avoid facing the truth and accounting for problems. During his Administration when the Monica Lewinsky scandal was beginning to take root and the heat was intensifying for Bubba, several times in order to reduce the impact in the media Clinton launched Cruise Missiles into Iraq thus temporarily making the attacks the headline rather than the Lewinsky!

Hillary made a similar move concerning the Wright/Bosnia controversies. In order to take the heat off of her own blunder that has become a big story and an embarrassment to the campaign as well as personally to the candidate, Clinton lobbed a political, "Cruise Missile, " into the Obama camp by bringing up the Wright controversy which had died down to a certain extent in the media.

She has now brought it back to the fore front but her attempt to take the heat off of her situation has not worked entirely as the Bosnia videos and commentary about her stretching the truth as she did have continued in spite of her , "Cruise Missile, " efforts against Obama.

This also shows that anyone who believes that a Hillary Clinton administration would differ from that of her husband is greatly mistaken. At every opportunity in this campaign when the heat is on Hillary pulls yet another play out of the Bill Clinton playbook and follows in her hubby's footsteps. When push comes to shove, she is most likely the author of most of the Clinton political playbook.

The implosion of the Democrats in this Presidential campaign is continuing to escalate as proven by the last two days. When one controversy begins to die down another crops up immediately to take its place. Polls are still showing that the continued implosion of the Democrats is benefiting John McCain as Rasmussen and Zogby have McCain up by 9 and 6 respectively over Obama and by 5 and 8 over Hillary also respectively.

This campaign by the Dems will continue to heat up as the Convention draws closer and the much dreaded floor fight that even some Super Delegates fear is shaping up into one whale of a battle when the Dems convene to nominate in August!
