Bill Clinton is Melting Down All Over Again

Bill Clinton is supposed to be the secret weapon in this race. The Oxford draft dodging grad who can appeal to working Americans because he has a Southern accent. The problem is that Bill also has a history of melting down during campaigns.

Clinton’s incredible campaigning abilities have been largely overstated. Clinton won two presidential elections against ridiculously weak Republican candidates who barely showed up. That’s also how he became Governor of Arkansas. He blew the 2008 primaries and now he’s beginning to melt down all over again.

“This shouldn’t be a race. The only reason it is, is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don’t understand why the economy is not totally hunky-dory again.”

Clinton’s gaffe is a natural one for an elitist liberal, but any serious campaigner knows better than to blame people who are out of work and struggling to feed their families for not being on board with your campaign. It’s a deadly and easily exploitable mistake.

Bill Clinton is channeling former ABC news anchor Peter Jennings’ response to the 1994 midterm elections where the American people turned on the Democratic Party.

“Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week.”

Clinton’s gaffe wasn’t as bad as Jennings’, but it’s a sign that he’s beginning to melt down. This was how it happened in South Carolina in 2008 when Clinton’s ego and competitiveness took the lead and he began speaking out without thinking about the political consequences. And now it’s happening again.

Clinton has made a fortune and it’s in poor taste for him to sneer at Americans for being too “impatient” for an economic recovery. People who are living from paycheck to paycheck have a right to demand results from their elected officials and they have a right to wonder why a government that runs trillion dollar deficits keeps sending them empty promises instead of a way out.

The blowjob president defending the NO job president

The best they’ve got is the media. Without that a thousand Bill Clinton’s would not allow The Disaster to get 30% of the vote.

[Slyfox]

Yep, and that is why Clinton did not have any sort of mandate.

[hinckley buzzard]

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Bill and Hillary talk about Obama.

Pfft. We already know...: "Hey Hil, we need a refill on the coffee. Ask that mulatto a--hole to step and fetch us some more."

Actually, both Clinton and Obama are blowjob presidents.

If you catch my drift.

The Clintons, just as the rest of the Democrats, are insane and unsavory enough that they should by rights never see the outside of a jail. And that should be a given.

Unfortunately, there’s all kinds of special interests, reilgious loons, economic and mob, , who always see fit to help the subhumans.

[JohnBrowdie]

The dems seem to believe it. They are sure acting as though they believe it to be completely true

[hinckley buzzard]

The 18-19% that Perot garnered would have given George H.W. Bush the win.

Some people say that, especially around here. I'm not so sure. Bush 41 ran a crappy, feckless campaign, close to McCain in its incompetence.

[Vince Ferrer]

I guess he is the best they’ve got - which isn’t saying much.

He is the only democrat president re-elected since Truman in 1948.

Don’t forget he knows simple rithmatic!

[berdie]

I agree.

Clinton does not want O to win. And...he is the master of back handed compliments.

[Irenic]

Bubba, Biden, and Dean are leading the Dimmies in the crazy dance.

Truman became President following the death of FDR. He was then elected to a term as President on his own (remember Dewey beats Truman).

Lyndon Johnson became President following the assassination of JFK. He was then elected to a term as President on his own.

Both Truman and Johnson could have run for a second full term on their own but declined to do so. Clinton was the only Democrat President elected to two terms since FDR.

Oh, he’s a fun guy when things are going good. But when they’re not, he can make Bruno Ganz in “Downfall” look like he’s on Xanax.

[gaijin]

NOPE..! Bill and Hill r only campaigning for Hussein to the extent that permits them to credibly claim in four years to voting blacks that they played nicey-nice with the bisexual Muslim.

HILLARY STILL PLANS ON RUNNING...
