I have a feeling that President Obama loathes Bill and Hillary Clinton.
One, I LOVE my President and I'll never completely forgive Hillary and Bill Clinton for the things they said about Obama during the 2008 campaign. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright was started by Hillary. The Bill Ayres story was Hillary. The "was he born in America?" was Hillary. Everything that the Republicans still use today against Barack Obama was introduced by Hillary and Bill Clinton.
If you recall, Bill famously said to Ted Kennedy that, "Not too many years ago, Obama would have been getting our coffee." This caused Ted and the Kennedy family to announce their support for Barack Obama almost immediately. (From Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.)
Bill also said in South Carolina that Obama's campaign was a "fairy-tale" with no chance of winning a general election.
Hillary took it to the wall and only withdrew when it was way past over in June. She endorsed Obama, but millions of her PUMA supporters did not. They marched their Obama hate right into the McCain campaign. Much of it was racist. I know some white Hillary supporters who said "It's not because he's black," but it was.
I believe that in order to get Hillary's endorsement he had to offer her VP or Secretary of State. He was too smart to pick her as Veep, so she got the job that already had been promised to John Kerry, Secretary of State.
Hillary was always problematic. Obama was allegedly pissed when he found out about the private email server in her home. And they disagreed vehemently over getting rid of Ghaddafy - which she plunged forward with nevertheless. I think her deal at SoS was for four years so she could get going on the Presidential race for 2016, and Kerry got the SoS job for the second term. However, when Obama was down in the ratings in 2012, I see Bill and Hillary offering the Big Speech and Endorsement at the convention in exchange for Obama's endorsement of Hillary in 2016. Ergo, Bill's big speech.
But, and I'm pretty darned good at body language, I believe that Barack and Michelle do NOT like the Clintons. I think they'd like nothing more than to see her go down. They just can't say so out loud.
I see the Clintons as triangulating sharks, and I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could throw them. Alas, I'll vote for her if she's the nominee. I'm no shameful PUMA.
But I'm getting a tingling that Bernie is going to win. Bernie is actually going to win, because he's the ONLY candidate with a sound mind, a big heart, and a progressive spirit, the ONLY one.

President Carter's thought bubble: 'I wish I was somewhere building houses for people.'
Whether such 'loathing' continues? 
It's a gut thing, plus getting Bernie to run - the only guy in Washington with no DNC blackmail?
It's a gut thing, but I think he's got his home team doing some serious house cleaning.
Verry interesting. 
And don't you ever forget it! 
I remember times when there was a threshold of sources not acceptable here
The emails that has a red star, is one that Clinton failed to turn over to the FBI.
Sid Blumenthal didn't have a security clearance. He was also working for and being paid by the Clinton Foundation.
Interesting that Hillary could conduct these sensitive conversations with Blumenthal, behind the President's back. Meanwhile, Clinton has been credited with selling action in Libya to Obama.
"We must save the Libyans from a horrible dictator, Mr President"; while advocating for the neocon "business-stimulation" plan with Blumenthal on a server that Obama knew nothing about.
I have often wondered if Obama likes them, really.
Totally with you.
And they all know that's what they are doing and don't take anything personally. They are all lawyers and that tends to make a person understand you are just doing a job and it's not personal.
Obama doesn't seem the type of "loathe" anyone.

and delegate (or the "Maths"
count say otherwise.
For example, Bill Clinton's quote “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.” was aimed at Obama’s portrayal of Hillary as supporting Iraq war policies while he had been against the IWR (Obama was not in the Senate at the time).
"Bill Clinton, Jan. 8, 2008: It is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, enumerating the years, and never got asked one time, not once, well, how could you say that when you said in 2004 you didn’t know how you would have voted on the resolution, you said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war. And you took that speech you’re now running on off your website in 2004. And there’s no difference in your voting record and Hillary’s ever since. Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen."
...all these folks here banking on the notion that Barack Obama 'hates' the Clintons.
What a sad revolution.
Your mind is making a pattern that is not supported by the evidence only because you want to believe the pattern. In prehistoric times you would have interpreted the rustling grass as a friend approaching only to have been eaten by a saber-tooth tiger.
Good luck with future pattern recognition!
