Bill Clinton: President Obama not getting his due

By: Andy Barr June 28, 2010 07:49 AM EDT

Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday that Barack Obama is doing a “better job than he’s given credit for.”

Clinton, speaking in Cape Town, South Africa as part of the Fortune/Time/CNN Global Forum, said that public perception of the president has lagged behind what he has done to benefit the country.

“I think he's done a better job than he's given credit for,” Clinton said. “I feel very strongly about this.”

The former president, who, like Obama, saw his polling numbers dip dramatically during his second year in office, said that Obama is not fully “responsible” for how he is perceived, adding that a dip in approval is “not avoidable” in an economic downturn.

Oh, Barry will get his due alright. Phase one in Nov. 2010 - the second and final phase, in Nov. 2012.

I can see November in my sleep

I have to agree.

Stroke has earned the honor of being IMPEACHED and REMOVED from our White House.

Perhaps we can make an effort to see that he gets his due after the November elections.

Hey Bill, STFU and go bang some SA hookers with your buddy Mick. These old Dems just hang around like hemorrhoids.

When I was in St. Lucia just after Obozo was elected, we heard a few cab drivers debating whether or not Obama was “The Messiah”. They were quite serious about it. We wanted to hurl on the beach.

Larry Patterson confirmed that he frequently heard Bill Clinton use “nigger” to refer to both Jesse Jackson and local Little Rock black leader Robert “Say” McIntosh. Longtime Clinton paramour Dolly Kyle Browning corroborated Patterson on Clinton’s use of “nigger.” “Not only did he use the ‘N’ word, he called him a ‘GDN’ Browning told Fox News in 1999. [NewsMax, 17 July 2000] Brown also told NewsMax that the president would regularly make derogatory comments about African-Americans in private. “He has used the ‘N’ word before. Bill would make snide remarks about blacks behind their backs.” [Carl Limbacher and NewsMax Staff, 17 July 2000]

I agree with Clinton. If B.O. were to get his “due”, he’d be out of office now. Maybe in jail. :)

How many cups of coffee has Bill fetched for Mr. Skittles now? Methinks, post November, when Hillary decides to spend more time with her family, Bill will not be such a good barrista to the ONE.

Exactly like LBJ.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s more full of it......Billy Clinton or Blago.

The only thing I hear Bubba saying here is that Obama is doing better than his worst critics are saying he’s doing. If that’s not damning him with faint praise, I don’t know what is.

LOL, Bill sure picks his words carefully. “Damining with faint praise” is right. With these comments I think its more likely that Hillary is considering a 2012 challenge.
