The Agent of Change Puppet Show

CNN reported that on Wednesday – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had another embarrassing moment similar to the State of the Union incident. Once again Ted Kennedy was at the center of the situation. Kennedy went over to shake hands and speak with Clinton during a Senate Vote, presumably about her Super Tuesday win in his home state of Massachusetts. Clinton laughed loudly during the banter, which caught Obama’s attention, who was standing within close range of the exchange. In what was most likely a taunt, Clinton then replied to Obama with a laugh; “I had a big sigh of relief when he [Kennedy] endorsed you.” Oops! According to the article, the necessary save-face-chat that followed included some uncomfortable laughter. The story said afterwards John Kerry came along and led Obama to a neutral corner. Evidently no blood was spilled.

Ouch, the agent of change 🙄 , Obama should have expected these kinds of situations with Good Old Boy Teddy Kennedy on board. Kennedy is old school politics and tactics. Kennedy is using Obama for a perssonal chance in the National Presidential spotlight that he has been denied, due to his own personal shortcomings. Fortunately John Kerry had the wisdom to move Obama away from the situation while Clinton and Kennedy traded their insider barbs. You have to wonder how long before Kerry and Kennedy will clash in each politician’s mission for maximum puppeteer control and maneuver of the Obama song and dance show!
