Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself

peace and love said: It's important to concentrate on what's important in a president and it isn't whether or not he/she has had affairs.

I agree with you that its not important in doing the job, but I would bet that it matters to the voter, and to top that, it goes into that categorical reality politicians fear the most; integrity. We also have to keep in mind that Hillary "might" receive a little pity for some voters for being on the other end. Yet, paradoxicly she loses probably more for the same reason. People usually do not gauge victims of adultry as a strength when they stay with their partner. And, if it is true about that book in August concerning more infidelities on behalf of President Clinton, it would destroy the party, not to mention the legacy.

TomDavie said"Did he have affairs? Sure he did. Yes , that made him a jerk. But lets face it. It was 10 years ago now. The guy loves his wife and is just trying to help her. "

Just to add, I was watching Bill Maher the other night and it was said that the owner of FOX news is going to release a book in August about all the women has been with....since leaving the White House. I don't know if it is true or not, but Dems would lose Independent and liberal voters. Obama is ging to be the Democrat in November.

Sometimes, it feels as if ALL politicians are willing to go negative when other approaches don't seem to be working for them. I will be glad when this election year is behind us.

I DON'T THINK BILL CILNTON IS A BAD PERSON, BUT THE STRATEGIC MANNER IN WHICH HE BEHAVED HIMSELF IN THESE PASS FEW WEEKS OVERSHADOWS HIS REPITATION SOMEWHAT. I BELIEVE MR CLINTON WANTED TO PROVOKE SENATOR BARACK OBAMA; OPENING A DOOR FOR DIRTY POLITICS THAT WOULD PUT A DENT INTO SENATOR BARACK OBAMA'S IDEOLOGY ABOUT CHANGE; GOOD TRY BILL.

Bill Clinton is crazy like a fox. Why can't people see that he's doing everything he can to SABOTAGE Hillary's campaign? He knows damn well that he's not doing her any favors. His massive ego couldn't take it if she landed the same job he had. Whether you like Hillary or not, I don't see how anyone can argue that she's an agent of "change." Hell, she doesn't even have the smarts to change husbands!

I was torn between Clinton and Obama until the last week - I am now supporting Obama for these reasons: (1) Clinton's "brand" positioning against Obama is that she is "more experienced." If McCain is the Republican nominee, that won't be an advantage and he may have an advantage with independents. Also, in a Clinton/McCain contest, the youth vote will likely stay home. Although McCain is socially very conservative, he doesn't scare democrats and independents in the same way the other yahoos do. Obama brings the prospect of a "new brand" of politics that may bring "new customers (voters)" into the election, thereby giving dems a chance of beating McCain. (2) I am losing respect for Bill Clinton and am reminded of his lack of discipline and temper, which were problematic during his years in the white house. (3) I am afraid a Clinton nomination will bring more contentious and negative campaigning on both sides and I am so sick of that tone - America needs a leader with a more civil and hopeful tone, in my opinion. If Obama can surround himself with people that have any experience he lacks and use their advice, he can be "ready" on day one.

After the filth and lies strewn against opponents during the past 8 years, this is rather tame. I also wonder if Obama, etc. think this is tough, how loud will they be crying when they are actually running (IF they are running) against the GOP? They havn't seen anything yet.

Well, I see that the Clintons targeted demographic ??? uneducated and undereducated whites are on the job spewing their ignorance and hate. The media is very much in the Hillary camp as you have not heard them discuss Clinton strength with the ???black??? voter in South Carolina prior to Bill and his big black supporters beginning to throw out the buzz words that signal stereotypical southern whites but ???words??? that are also understood by southern blacks. No one expected Sen. Obama???s margin of victory over Sen. Clinton. It was all about the word choice and slants that produced such a large black vote. But why does the media keep talking about a majority of blacks voting for Sen. Obama. They don???t make an issue when a majority of whites vote for a all white candidate.

The article doesn't quite have it right when it says that the voters don't care - they do, as shown by many of the comments. Until recently I still liked Bill (except for his unforgivable Monica-thrills), and while I didn't want to vote for Hillary, I could live with her in the WH. Now, between Bill's actions and her own (like GWB, Hillary has shown narcissistic tendencies), I really don't want either of them anymore to lead the country

Is this what we want? The same old dirty politics? The same ol' game? We need change plain and simple. Obama has kept it clean and he has my vote.

L.A. Times front page mentioned how Obama having an up hill climb and his "charm" won't cut it. Charm?! Obama inspires us and gives us hope. We actually have a chance in getting a president with some natural leadership skills. Sigh, however, the pro-Clinton L.A. Times and NYT is out there slowly chipping away at Obama...oh and Univision and Telemundo is brainwashing all the Latinos in L.A. to vote for Hillary...."Vote for Patron Hillary", lol.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice and think he was a far better president than either Bush. However, it casts doubts upon Hillary Clinton's judgment to have her husband campaigning and using the terms "us" and "we" when refering to her candidacy. Hillary was doing just fine until Bill Clinton made it very clear Americans are being asked to "re-vote" to "re-Clinton" the White House. That doesn't exactly sound like the change most Americans desire. Unfortunately, the damage to Hillary's campaign has been done. And the Swift Boat party will destroy Obama quickly.

I voted for the man twice. I would have considered more seriously voting for Senator Clinton.

One thing got in the way: Bill. He belittles himself and the Presidency with his immature political commentary. He should have kept to the issues and not attempted to be an analyst.

I am wondering what Clinton is trying to accomplish with his actions. People might want to believe that he trying to help his wife's campaign but I wonder if there is a deeper underlying reason for what he is doing, like maybe resentment or jealousy that his wife is running for an office that he once held. It wouldn't be the first time that a husband worked to diminish a wife's accomplishments, despite what he once was....her being elected would definitely change the dynamics of that relationship.
