Here are some other possible dynamics at work here: Hillary may already have decided not to run in '16, so this could be (1) payback for the '08 primaries and/or (2) Bill Clinton destroying Obama's second term so Bill will be seen as a "more successful" President, overall, than BHO.
Yeah, Bill Clinton is just that megalomaniacal.
With Anthony Weiner's mayoral run, people are remembering Bill Clinton's infidelity and lying under oath.
Then you have Obama's three scandals stirred in the media and people are comparing IRS abuses under this administration to Nixon who resigned.
My mind keeps reverting to Bill Clinton's impeachment.
Obama is the Teflon King because he uses his race to hide from impeachment proceedings. The House Republicans are scared to impeach him. And they know the Senate would not convict.
In effect, Bill Clinton's impeachment protects Obama from impeachment. Obama's crimes are more egregious than Clinton's and he will never be held accountable for them. Impeaching two Democratic presidents in a row would be a bit much for the nation as a whole to accept. This is the way politics is played and Clinton knows this. This doesn't make him happy about it.
Clinton ridiculed Obama years back when he said that Obama was the type of guy that would be fetching things for the political elite in days of yore, not the guy running the table.
Bill Clinton probably knows he will never be the next First Husband. The triumphant return of the Clintons to the White House will not happen. So he'll take his sweet revenge where he can.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Excellent points, especially regarding the unfeasibilty of impeaching Obama.
