March 22, 201610 yr This election is incredible. :lol2: It's downright funny at times (okay, most of the time)...but, then you realize what's at stake. It is truly sad and sobbering that we've come to a point in our nation where this is the best (either side) can offer as leadership.
March 22, 201610 yr Depends on the meaning of awful, legacy, eight, years, etc. Fun time watching people try to bail him out of this one. I'd say Freudian slip.
March 22, 201610 yr Two rags just providing cover for a doddering old fool. It usually takes me less than 2 minutes to get to the bottom of most of these stories. In this case, all I had to do was hit the link in post #1 and read the addendum.
March 22, 201610 yr Author The update at end of USA Today article says Bill Clinton's reference was to GOP obstructionism that began in '08. Politico article says same. Still, Bill needs to speak with more specificity. Do you honestly think a politician as skilled as Bill Clinton didn't say exactly what he felt?
March 22, 201610 yr Author It doesn't matter if you agree with Bill's statement or not. The point of all of this is that Bill Clinton is hurting Hillary with this statement. He will cost her voters with this statement.
March 22, 201610 yr Author Clinton's hate the President. The President hates the Clintons. Nothing new here. Not the point. Her platform is similar to Obama's and Bill knows this. It's almost like he wants Hillary to lose. Hmmmmmm.....
March 22, 201610 yr It doesn't matter if you agree with Bill's statement or not. The point of all of this is that Bill Clinton is hurting Hillary with this statement. He will cost her voters with this statement. Agreed. No one who has followed Bill's career believes this wasn't a calculated move or he didn't say what he meant. I saw black twitter last night and they weren't happy.
March 22, 201610 yr Not the point. Her platform is similar to Obama's and Bill knows this. It's almost like he wants Hillary to lose. Hmmmmmm..... Honestly I never know what Clinton's stand for or their platforms. It always changes . I can give credit to Obama for being consistent.
March 22, 201610 yr Author Agreed. No one who has followed Bill's career believes this wasn't a calculated move or he didn't say what he meant. I saw black twitter last night and they weren't happy. Same type of things happened with the Clintons in the 2008 race for the office. How many times did Bill make statements in which he misspoke?
March 22, 201610 yr Do you honestly think a politician as skilled as Bill Clinton didn't say exactly what he felt? It's ridiculous to think that Clinton's comments were directed at Obama as opposed to GOP obstructionists. As I recall, one of the highlights of the '12 Democratic convention was when Bill Clinton dismantled Romney's major campaign planks one by one, providing a big boost to Obama's re-election. Hillary has some things to worry about, but this ain't one of them.

Hillary has some things to worry about, but this ain't one of them. It's ridiculous to think Bill's comments weren't directed at Obama. Especially when you take into account that during that same speech he specifically spoke on republican economic policy as well as republican obstruction. All of a sudden he can't clarify himself until AFTER he crapped on Obama's legacy and he's called on it? :lol2: Whatever. Bill is naive and incapable of saying exactly what he means after decades and decades of being in politics? He knew exactly what he was saying. This is called pandering for votes except he is pandering for those folks that don't want to vote for Trump but still are disappointed in Obama. Bill ain't stupid and he still has his faculties right now as well. If he's too stupid to not be specific then they should get his sorry tail off the campaign trail now shouldn't they? Just another her of the mounting reasons why I would never vote for Hillary.
March 22, 201610 yr Bill don't need Obama anymore. HRC has a comfortable lead, no need to hold back. It's just Clinton's being Clinton's, it's what they do.
March 22, 201610 yr Author Bill don't need Obama anymore. HRC has a comfortable lead, no need to hold back. It's just Clinton's being Clinton's, it's what they do. Yep. And yet there are still people claiming that isn't what he meant. They probably believe he never had sexual relations with that woman too. :lol2:
March 22, 201610 yr It doesn't matter if you agree with Bill's statement or not. The point of all of this is that Bill Clinton is hurting Hillary with this statement. He will cost her voters with this statement. I really don't think it will have much effect, just kind of funny to talk about.
March 22, 201610 yr Not the point. Her platform is similar to Obama's and Bill knows this. It's almost like he wants Hillary to lose. Hmmmmmm..... Interesting. On one hand he remains the only ex president in his family in his lifetime and doesn't have to share that glory. On the other hand a 100 years after he's gone he would be remembered far better as half of a husband and wife presidential team than as just another in a list of 70 or so ex presidents.
