I've been thinking about how Bill Clinton attacked Obama just before the DNC. Clinton then does a 180 and gives a strong speech in support of Obama. Then we see Obama, one of the greatest speakers in presidential history, seemingly take a dive at the first debate. Put one and one together. Did Bill Clinton pay Obama off so that Hillary could run against Romney in 2016?
