WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After his talks with reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, Bill Clinton sure has a story to tell.
And one of the first in line to hear his tale is President Barack Obama.
"I suspect that President Clinton will have some interesting observations from his trip and I will let him provide those to me," Obama told MSNBC on Wednesday.
The former president was chosen by the North Koreans from among four possible envoys proposed to them to try to gain freedom for two American reporters sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in North Korea.
Other candidates for the task were other prominent Democrats: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and the man who served as Clinton's vice president, Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore.
Thus, Clinton became the most senior American envoy to spend time face-to-face with Kim in nearly a decade.

Who talks like that? What an arrogant s*&thead.
Quite a slap, eh Barack?
I agree. What an effete azz!
Keep an eye on his gin blossom nose for a serious ‘growth spurt’ in the days to follow. ;)
Man, Hillary! has got to be FURIOUS over this! She stands by her man, and he upstages her once again even after 0bama has had her basically neutered.
When she finally loses it, it’s going to be SPECTACULAR! And she’s not going down alone...
(Yes, I know, Hillary. Going down. I shouldn’t have gone there, LOL! I’ll just poke out my mind’s eye and be done with it!)
tell me about them North Korean interns Bill.
A man drunk on his own ego.
DPRK to Obama: You have no authority. Send over the impeached peach chaser.
My thoughts as well!
If I was Bill, I’d blow him off until he begged - and then give a tape of it to HRC. That ought to by BC a couple “boys’ nights out.”
Blow him off? lol
Bill just legitimized the little Chia,
thanks again to the Clinton’s
That evoked the 'n' word out of me.
(Narcissist).
LOL, Nobel Peace Prize winner.....what a joke. When will the media report that it was Al Gore's news company who sent these girls there in the first place.
i have it from the best sources...
Bill arrived in North Korea...on his way to the presidential palace he slipped out of his suit and put on his elastic American Flag jammies. He pulled a very large gun out of his...well,lets say it was cleverly concealed...
He dispatched his honor guard,humanely of course and entered the presidential compound. After a brief firefight where he defeated 500 starving NK soldiers,he fought his way to the very side of the dear leader. Gun to head,he made him promise to let the reporters go as well as to let him sample a few interns.
On his way out,using the dear leader for a shield,he picked up the reporters and boarded the jet home leaving the dear leader on the tarmac waving a cigarette lighter and screaming,”yippee kai yay(you get the drift),why is nuthing happening? i yell like Bruce,why it not work?” As i said,from the very best of sources...
Who’s going to get the BJ this time??? Kim or Bill?
Are they meeting over a beer at the white house
LOL!
Wonder if Bill will provide his observations to who he considers the second Black president over a beer in the WH garden?
Kim jong Pill just wanted to get a message to our Secretary of State. That failed as I don’t think Bill still speaks to her.
Clinton will never speak of it. there is nothing to tell. It was settled before he got there. Do any of these people tell the truth?
I am not quite sure what to make of this entire charade.
Shhheeet...Sick wicked Willie is still the one...Obama only half black.
That's what hit me first when I read it.
"I will let him provide those to me"???? HA! whatcha gonna do if he doesn't want to, eh baraq? How funny would it be if Clinton just went home and never said a word about his excursion?!
My opinion is Lil’ Kim demanded a high level photo-op and it was an acceptable trade.
Well that is big of you. Arrogant putz!
I had just highlighted to same sentence to make exactly the same remark when I found yours. It just leaps out at you, huh? Maybe it’d make a good caption for that famous ‘nose in the air’ shot.
Somehow, I can’t see any prior President saying anything other than “and I look forward to hearing them”.
I guarantee you that any everyday person would still be sitting in N. Korea. Only the anointed ones get this type of treatment. What the hell were they doing there and why did Al Gore send them in the first place?!
Bill completed the first task and upstaged him by getting the girls released. Bill had the clout that Hussein could never have.
Hillary was the heavy opponent in the primaries and all is not forgiven.
Sending Hillary to Kenya to cauterize the B.C was like sending Burr Rabbit into the brier patch. She could take down Hussein and most of his backers in the DNC.
Reckon it had anything to do with cigars???
Only democrats? Well, I guess that tells us who is FOK (Friends of Kim).
Clinton, never lost for a turn of phrase, answered Obama...”Yasss Boss”.
Absolutely right! Many people have forgotten that she has copies of the - what was it....425? - FBI files.
When she makes her move....those will assure compliance by many currently pledged to support Obama. I think she will make a move shortly after take big Democrat losses in 2010.
Reuters means Retards.
Within 2 years the guy is going to start using the royal "we" - as in "We are not amused."
Anyone who thinks this WAS NOT pure political theater is an industrial strength moron.
“Bill Clinton has quite a story to tell”
He always does, and goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
I’m certain it doesn’t bother the man one bit that he again helped embarass our Nation, and played into the hands once again of an enemy.
I was wondering if Billy hit on either one of the girls on the trip back?
This “story” is pure agitprop.
And what was the deal?
Actually, the girls couldn’t decide whether they wanted to spend the rest of their lives in a North Korean prison or 16 hours on a plane with Bill Clinton. I mean how much abuse can a woman take?
Not funny. I hate Klintoon but why post BS?
>>Quite a slap, eh Barack?<<
.
There will be many more in the future, but he’ll get used to them. A man without honor doesn’t mind getting slapped around.
IMHO; The reason Kim Jong Il wanted Slick Willie was because he needs some more under-the-table information on successful launching of missles.
It has been reported that Willie got Loral Corp. to give Kim tons of technical info in return for campaign money in 1996. But, NK has still had some glitches in their missile launches, and Willie is probably being offered a deal in return for some more technical info. That’s just my opinion, however. (Sarc!)
“She could take down Hussein and most of his backers in the DNC.”
She will. She’s awesome at keeping her cards close to her vest. I loathe her, but she’s so evil and so GOOD at it, I can’t look away.
Sadly, she’s our last best hope to get 0bama outta here! I’m not seeing any Republicans rise to the challenge...
...well, except one. Also a woman. ;)
No, I would think it would be now. Taking down Hussein and his cronies, she could justify by saying she is saving the USA from destruction. Biden would be out, as well as Nancy Pissy and a few others. She would then take over as POTUS.
She would have 3 years to correct what Hussein trashed. Through this, she could run for a DNC lock in '12. The GOP would try to save face by having McCarthy type witch hunts in the House to weed out further Hussein co-conspirators.

Impeached Peach Chaser. Funny.
Why didn’t Barry go himself? He did say he would meet other world leaders with no preconditions.
I would have liked to see that unfold.
