Is Bill Clinton working for the Obama campaign?

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 22, 2008 03:21 PM

Because it’s the only sane explanation for this behavior.

    Michelle, he is a compulsive liar and narcisist. He has become so accustomed to his lies being over looked by the media that he is conditioned to expect a pass. He has no shame, no honor nor moral compass. This isn’t rocket science. The man has cheated on his wife many many times, with many many women. He lied to grand juries.
    He is a rotten human being, and in this case, he got called on a lie. He tried to pull rank and tried to change the subject.
    This cat is on his ninth life.

    I don’t think BJ can stomach his wife as president.

    Sabotage, probably followed by a divorce if Hill doesn’t get elected.

    On the one hand, I think he’d do anything to get back into a 1600 Pennsylvania address. It’s good for scoring with the ladies I hear.

    On the other, I don’t think he could stand to play second fiddle to Hillary. His ego just won’t allow it.

    I’d like to rise in support of lobocrat’s assessment: I, too, think he is so used to the media buying whatever he’s selling that he’s cought off guard when they call him on it.

    And maybe he’s having a harder time than we think adjusting to the role of second fiddle.

    Bill Clinton reminds me of that old comic strip, “The Inner Voice.”

    Bill: “Ha! I’m finally getting opportunities to scold, and wag my finger at all those reporters who dissed me while I was getting serviced….err, serving the American people in the White House.”

    Bill, Bill, Bill, you have more money than you ever dreamed of (well, maybe not). Why don’t you get rid of Hillary, buy a boat and go party with all your friends. You deserve to spend the rest of your life chasing women, driving fast cars, and living it up, not necessarily in that order.
    I feel sorry for you. All this sturm und drang with these elections, and for what, I ask you. Just get the divorce already and go do your thing. You KNOW you really want that….Do it, Bill, just do it…Before you lose what left of your looks, your mind, and your “charm”. Do it, Bill.

    I think team Clinton is obsessed with getting back in to the White House and in the past few months they have watched the master plan go from certain victory to probable defeat. This is about the legacy. Der Schlickmeister knows that his presidency will be remembered for a blue dress with a stain. If they can get back in there it will be remembered for every. First woman president, First first husband, first husband and wife combo, etc. Not to mention anything else they could cook up like Mister Fingerwagger winding up at the UN or the SCOTUS. (Scrotus perhaps?) And everything is falling apart by this kid that they get land a glove on and any dirty trick will be called racist. I think he may be literally cracking up under the pressure.

    No, I think that they (OK, he) is/are just so used to having their way & controlling the media that they just can’t deal with the fact that what they say is actually recorded & scrutinized… even BHO isn’t media suave enough to get it that what he says can & will be used against him.

    Maybe politicians should be read their rights when they announce that they are running.

    Clinton probably misspoke the day before and accidentally told the truth, but remembers what he thought he said.

    The race card has back-fired on the Clintons too many times to try it again.

    No, Michelle, I really think Billy Jeff is working for the McCain campaign.
    Yesterday he said the Obama bunch played the race card on him (twice), only to lie about it today.
    He is the disgraced leader of a disgraced party which will be creamed this November.

    More ammunition, please, Bill…

    When you tell a lie, you have to make up another lie to cover the original one. Then it snowballs to the point that you don’t even know what the truth is anymore and have run out of lies to cover them all. Then you lose your temper when confronted. Don’t worry Bill, it won’t be long. Once the Clintons are out of the race, you too, can go hug the Hamas.

    You know, I think Peggy Noonan’s observation about the Clintons and not being able to deal effectively with defeat in this Democrat primary election (WSJ - a few weeks back), is really starting to hit home for the former president; he just gets more and more out there the further behind she falls.

    Not a bad question! If President Bush acted like a conservative, instead of mimicking Obama on issues like national security and illegal immigration, he would have a lot more support amongst conservative Republicans than he has today.

    Truman didn’t do that bad a job overall. I would fault him for the concept of a limited war.

    Nixon inhereited Vietnam and got us out. As far as Watergate, he just got caught. Others had done far worse.

I usually don’t care what Juan has to say, on any subject, but the two of you worked the subject analysis so well the whole was greater than it’s parts. Did I not hear you conclude by saying BJ is a race baiter (a subject due it’s own segment). Now BHO is a number four ranked race baiter so is Bill in the top ten.

    These seem to be your opinions. I was talking about approval polling. Truman was very low for most of his presidency. Nixon and Carter ended low. For whatever reason and rightly or wrongly, Bush beats them all — lower approval and higher disapproval.

    Put on your mittens & click here. I didn’t say abortion clinics are bombed daily. They are bombed more than military recruiting centers. No recruiting officer has been killed.
