Dysfunctional much?
From a NYTimesarticle
about the internal dynamics of the Clinton campaign:
"On election night, Mr. Clinton grew playfully competitive with his wife over who had done more events or had had more impact, Mr. Rendell said. Mrs. Clinton was superstitious and rarely watched election night coverage, but in the hotel suite, Mr. Rendell showed her husband county-by-county returns.
“The president wanted to know exactly what the returns were in the places he had been and Hillary hadn’t been,” Mr. Rendell said. “He kept showing Hillary, and she would laugh.”"
The awful thing is - I know couples like that. And I don't think of them has having healthy relationship, no matter how "playfully" it's phrased. You'd think he'd be proud of the amazing accomplishments of his spouse (who gave a terrific speech today, btw, which did much to soothe a lot of my irritation towards her).
In other news, this weekend the Obamas hosted 11 7-year-old girls for a pizza-and-sleepover birthday party at their house for their daughter Sasha, who has had her dad at home for all of 10 days in the last year but got him to make pizza for her birthday.
