WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bill Clinton implored Democrats to back the tax-cut deal that President Barack Obama negotiated with Republicans as the former president made a surprise appearance at Obama's side in the White House briefing room Friday.

"I don't believe there is a better deal out there," Clinton told reporters who'd been summoned at a moment's notice to see the former chief executive back the current one. Clinton and Obama had just finished a private meeting in the Oval Office.

“The voluble former president took it away, and Obama left part-way through his remarks, saying he had holiday parties to attend.”

The affairs of State need to take precedent over the affairs of State. I’ll be out walking the parapet.”

I saw that presser, and the headline is backwards - should read Obama at Clinton's side, with Obama standing there looking like a fool (more than usual). Clintoon was giving teleprompter-less statements and fielding questions from the press corps and no doubt loving every minute of it. Like a bad flashback to the 1990's.

Pathetic s right. He asks Clinton to help and then leaves him at the podium to field the questions???? wtf kind of presidency is this?????? Never in my life (likely no one else’s either) have I seen such an embarrassment to any public office. He doesn’t want the job anymore, it’s too damn hard. Sickening.

Watch Sarah’s tweet for a ‘film at 11’ moment. You know she won’t let this moment go without saying something..

Current tax bill is compromised and garbage. Go home and come back in January with the new House and fix it Right. We The People are big-time angry. Same ole human waste in DC pulling their amoral, corrupt BS. What part of the message sent on November 2nd didn’t they get???

This pathetic episode reminded me of a story line in the TV show 24, where the inept, totally in over his head president called on the previous president to come in and bail him out of a jam.
