From the book Game Change The Race of a Lifetime – Hillary Clinton accused Obama of cheating in the primaries!

hillary_clinton_picking_noseAgain, leave it to the overseas media to do actually reporting on this, not the so called lame stream media in America. While the media here scrambled to come up with excuses for Harry Reid’s “No Negro Dialect” comment directed at Obama, there were plenty of other developments that have come out too. There was of course the Bill Clinton comment about how Obama should have been getting the Clintons coffee a couple of years ago, completely ignored by the media. There was also the claim by Joe Biden that relations with Obama and his running mate grew so bad that Biden was excluded from campaign conference calls. And now this for the Times UK about Hillary Clinton accusing Obama of cheating in the 2008 Democrat primaries!

Hillary Clinton is depicted — and quoted — as foul-mouthed and consumed with anger over what she saw as the media’s kid-gloved treatment of Mr Obama. She was convinced that he had cheated at the start of their marathon primary contest by bringing in outsiders to vote in the Iowa caucuses, and when it was over she was supremely reluctant to work for him, the authors claim.

The first of three extracts of the book published by The Times today reveals today that Hillary Clinton initially rejected the post of Secretary of State despite rare pleading by Mr Obama, citing her husband. as the reason.“You know I can’t control him,” she is paraphrased as saying. “At some point he’ll be a problem.”
