    Bill Clinton may think he's too big to be brought down, but crazy behavior in public, overly aggressive pomposity can destroy an icon almost overnight - just ask Tom Cruise. Bill Clinton is going to crash and burn. He's already toasty around the edge.

      As red as the Slickmeister's face gets I think that he will stroke out. We can only hope!

    Bill Clinton needs to take a long extended vacation somewhere in Europe! He does more harm than good! His giant ego just will not allow him to talk about Hillary without first talking about his many accomplishments.

    Nicholas Kristof from NYTimes have a column on Jan. 20 that drew on the
    comparative experiences of Barack and Hill. He also called Hill's claim of 35
    years experience as spurious. Barack's legislative experience is definitely
    superior to the parochial bills that Hill was only capable of promoting. If you
    honestly compare even their length of service in the Senate, everybody should
    expect Hill should win in quantity, but that's not the case, Barack's output
    would swamped Hill by landslide, much more in terms of quality and impact not
    only to the country but to the world. So where/what did Hill spend her Senate
    experience ? The answer lies in her penchant to appear in front of cameras to
    show off how hard she worked, but producces nothing, perhaps even snuggling up
    with more senior colleagues in a drinking spree to bond with them ! Let us ask
    her to numerate her Senate output in live TV debate and follow it up in
    comparison with Barack's and see how spurious and inferior was her experience !

    Regardless... "THE FUTURE IS OBAMA" for the Democratic party

    I want to say something about heroes. We all now know about McCain's heroism in Vietnam. But how many think of the heroism of Edward's wife who is fighting cancer yet still working with her husband. And what about Ann Romney? She has ms, has raised 5 sons and cares for 11 grandchildren plus is on the campaign trail with her husband. She is my hero.
    I think, to change pace, that race is something better left out of the campaigns. After all, Obama's mother is white which makes him both black and white.
    As for my preference, I am looking at records rather than listening to words. So far, mitt Romney is my choice.
    Thank you for letting me rant.

    The media is setting Obama up to fall. He isn't presenting himself as a deity the press is. He should be able to defend himself against Clinton. He's damned if the does and he's damned if he doesn't. But can anyone tell me why that old bigoted Republican mainstay on MSNBC always has something to say hailing Hillary and putting down Obama? It's seems to me he's campaigning hard for Hillary to win so that the Republicans can tear her down. Who needs a Reality Check?

    Bill had the experience of being the most powerful man on earth. He must have enjoyed it. Now he wants to do everything he can to return to the state of that powerfulness. It is human for him to act that way, but that's exactly the reason our system should not let the same group of people in power for too long. Power corrupt people and make people arrogant. It is just like the story of the Lord of tghe Ring. Bill had the ring before and he loved it. Now, he would do everything to repossess that ring. And we the voters should not let that happen.

    For the health of our democracy, we should not allow the same group of people in power too long or in power twice.

    Can Bill Clinton and the Experience Hillary is claiming , claim this Trade Policy a Success for America as a whole or just for some in certain circles of our society , that have fed off others like vultures preying on helpless Americans of a Trade Policy gone bad ????


    Unity in the Government is what I am interested in , so something can get done , I see Hillary only continuing the fighting between Republicans and Democrats , so it will be a reverse of what is going on now , because of the way Hillary is always saying she is the only one that can take on the Republicans . We need someone that is not saying things that are so polarizing , like both Hillary and Bill are always on the offense against the Republicans , and this battle has resulted in nothing getting done now for a very long time . I am a Republican , and I don't see anyone on my party side that's talking Unity either , I am however seeing and hearing the word Unity coming out of Barack Obama , and for me that's what I am wanting to see in our country . The differences on issues between the 2 parties is so extreme that it is time for Unity , to get a little bit of the issues that everyone wants for all . It can't continue to be one extreme to the other , it just is not working , as we can see this over the past 20-25 years . Its time for Unity , its time for Barack Obama . With all the issues both foreign and domestic , Trade agreements that need re-negotiated to include provisions that state to the Importer that if they want tariff free duty into the USA then we need a fee charged to the imported goods and services , that is paid too the SS and Medicare fund , because of the loss of this deduction that is a result of the items not being produced in the USA that our Labor would have paid . This should have been Provisions that Bill Clinton should have made sure we had , when he signed into law the WTO trade policy he did , and if Lobbyists for Big business influenced the Republican and Democrat Government to agree to leaving this out of the agreement , then they all should be relieved from duty , because never before in the history of the USA or the world , have we ever had a more Wealth Generating period of time than the last 20-25 years , more wealth was generated over this period than all the past , so if we were to have been able to of made the SS and Medicare system solvent it should have been now .

    Hillary allowed Bill to embarrass and humiliate her so many times that a message has been sent to women about the men in their lives that it is acceptable to be verbally and publicly humiliated. Would I advise the daughters of America to accept this - No Sir - get rid of the ..............
    Hillary going door to door in Nevada to encourage the Hispanic vote - ask yourselves what white middle class women and hispanic women have in common - nada, sorry there is one connection - they have them cleaning their houses and taking care of their lawns.

    Mary Ellen, I hope people are listening....the Clintons are dooming America to four more years of the Republicans. Good work Bill, the Republicans are sitting back laughing their behinds off.

    The Clintons don't like to play by the rules, do they? Whether in their personal lives or following th Constitution. Bill doesn't get a third term, but by parsing - "It depends on what your definition of a third term is" - Bill's going for it. There's something unnatural about the two of them teaming up to beat Obama. Is this a contest between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton, or some sort of WWF cage match where two wrestlers show up to tackle the good guy? Obama needs some friends!

  • Posted By: Mary Ellen @ 01/21/2008 10:32:59 AM

    Well done, Bill. I reluctantly voted for you in '92, opted to leave that part blank in '96, and am a Obama supporter. It is no surprise to me that you are distorting Obama's words, or that you are showing your typical lack of style and class. I will never vote for Hillary - not in the primary, not in the general. Another four years of the Clintons in the White House is something I will never support. So keep it up, Bill, and you'll see another Republican in the White House. Way to go.

    Oh Barack Hussein Obama won't unite states- he might unite antifreedomite idiots in various states - like any cheap sliime democrat would- to try to take over and destroy our once-great nation. Look people- you need to understand- the entire democrat platform is a threat to our republic. WAKE UP. Vote Freedom First.

    Bill Clinton is a poor excuse for the head of the Democratic party. He is a disgrace. After being impeached he should have gone into hiding as Nixon did. Not be granted unlimited acess by the media to lie again and
    again. But those who criticize him, the senators and congressmen could shut him up by endorsing Obama or Edwards. He would get the message then.

    • Posted By: Mary Ellen @ 01/21/2008 10:28:40 AM

      Good job on this story. Disclosure: I am an Obama supporter. I voted for Bill in 1992 but not in 1996 (I left it blank). He is a scoundrel completely lacking in style and class, as his behavior of late has shown. I will not vote for Hillary in the primary, nor in the general. The thought of these folks in the White House for another four years is more than I can stomach. Mary

    Sure, Bill is the expres but he is also the spouse of the candidate. From what I hear, Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards are pretty rough on their sposes' opposition...that's different because they have never been elected to public office? The press gives Bill's statements more weight because they give them so much coverage.
    Excuse me...Bill is Herod and Barak is "the babe of Bethlehem"...ah, that's really over the top.

    Shame on you nvs9940 for playing the HUSSEIN card. As an Independent I'm finding t hard to justify a vote for HRC. The nastyness of the Clintons in this day and age is just sad.

    The active involvement of a former president in bare knuckles political campaigning is unprecendented and innapropriate, even if the candidate he is supporting is his wife. But then, given the extracurricular activities he initiated in the Oval Office, one can see that Bill Clinton has never been particularly worried about maintaining the diginity of the Office of the President.

  • Posted By: bigsmile @ 01/21/2008 10:16:07 AM

    Any wonder what Bill will be doing while Hillary is running the country. And he thinks she didn't have time for him when he was the President. Let's change the color of the dress.
