Now let me get this straight. David Geffen, in essence, calls Bill Clinton shady and Hillary Clinton unable to galvanize people, therefore throwing his name and financial clout behind Barack Obama and the Clinton campaign team is calling out the Senator from Illinois, demanding he apologize... For statements made by Geffen? Politics are in full effect and we haven't even passed mile one on the marathon to the White House.
Hillary Clinton maintains that she will focus on the issues and not get caught up in the Geffen controversey. But her team, yes the one that she commands is shifting Geffen's comments onto Obama. As Mr. Obama stated, why exactly is he supposed to be apologizing for another man's comments about the Clinton's? They should be after an apology from Geffen himself. But Hillatricks has begun and that program's unstated agenda is to cast Obama as a candidate short on experience, a man who will be a death knell to the DNC's objective of White House attainment based on his black status (Stanley Crouch and Debra Dickerson not withstanding). So shift Geffen's comments off on Obama and put him on the defensive.
Mrs. Clinton was my Senator when I lived in New York. She has long history of controversy on the National and Regional political scenes. After this latest move by her "strategists" that aura of polarization that surrounds her appears to be alive and well. Demanding an apology from Obama for Geffen's comments are clear politics and a harbinger of the brewing fight for America's leadership.
