There is certainly no lovefest going on with the Clintons and Obama. If anything, it's quite the opposite.
I highly doubt Clinton would have stomped for Obama's re-election if there was no deal and I bet Bill had his choice as to what deal he wanted to cut. I found it amusing how Obama went all out to defend Susan Rice when he wanted her to replace Hillary, but was pretty silent on any defense he could have put up for Hillary when she was in the spotlight over Benghazi. If I recall, he had no problem seeing her pushed under the bus.
I don't think Obama has any choice but to support Hillary, as much as I think he would like to back out of the deal since he got what he wanted - Bill's support for his re-election. Hillary just knows too damn much for Obama not to support her. If there is a deal and Obama doesn't hold up his end, I have no doubt that Hillary will bury him with what she knows.
You are right, Clinton does not like Obama and calls him the amateur. When Clinton went out on the campaign for Obama it was a show for the Obama sheeple. You didn't read my post. Before posting be sure to read the post. When refer to the Clinton Obama love fest they are referring to the interview on 60 minutes.
The secret deal between Bill and Obama in exchange for an Obama blessing in 2016. Bill Clinton was quoted to have said that Obama doesn't know to be president, he does not know how the world works, he's incompetent.
Bill Clinton wanted Hillary to challenge Obama in the 2012 election.

President Obama made a secret deal to support Hillary Clinton when she runs for president in 2016, campaign sources say, payback for the support her husband gave him in 2012. But as always after Obama gets what he wants he has no problem going back on his deals and after his re-election Obama began to have second thoughts.
Bill Clinton went ballistic and threatened retaliation. Obama backed down. He called his favorite journalist, Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," and offered an unprecedented "farewell interview" with departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The result was a slobbering televised love-in - and an embarrassment to all concerned.

A little off topic here, but I had a thought. What does BO do if Joe Biden decides to run? There seems to be an assumption that the Democratic nomination in 2016 will be Hillary's.
20126? LOL, buddy. That'd be about 18,000 years from right now.
Mask, I'm not sure what to believe anymore about the relationships between the Clintons and Obamas, but any dents in their relationship can only be an advantage for conservatives when we get to '16. Then again, other things must happen, too.
