It would seem that in the last month, Obama has shown what his true role in the race for the Democratic nomination is: Make so many idiotic statements that it makes Hillary look sane and electable. It wouldn't surprise me if the Clinton camp is behind Obama's run.
I think you're digging kinda deep there for a conspiracy. More likely what you have is a classic example of a young politician who is unready for a national campaign which garners the kind of attention a Presidential campaign does. If you look at the missteps of many politicians early in their careers when they first hit the national stage, Obama's don't look so bad.
Don't ever underestimate how low the Clintons will go.
Almost as low as the Bush's?
The Bush's well at least George W are just incompetent not very corrupt.
The Bush administration was not corrupt? In any case I'll take a competent, albeit power-hungry (though I personally believe that phrase is a steep exageration) Clinton over Bush without a second thought. Nothing wrong with a little ambition to temper good altruistic values.
