Former President Clinton Campaigns In Detroit
WWJ 950 Newsradio ^ | 24 Oct 2010

Posted on 10/24/2010 7:36:30 PM PDT by mandaladon

Former President Bill Clinton praised Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero as a top urban leader during a Sunday campaign appearance in Detroit, but his speech to mostly committed Democrats seemed unlikely to make a difference in a race where independents appear to favor Bernero’s opponent.

Bernero, mayor of Lansing the past five years, has been trailing Republican businessman Rick Snyder among independents and Republican voters in polls leading up to the Nov. 2 election.

Clinton told about 500 people at Detroit’s Renaissance High School that Bernero was the only candidate with an economic plan to turn around Michigan’s battered economy, and he mocked Snyder’s platform as empty “mom and apple pie” rhetoric.

I believe you're right, he probably still parties-hardy and picks up the girls fairly easily. But his looks are gone and he looks drained. He never won the Nobel Prize he sought, and he hates being out of power.

Bubba in Detroit, al-Qaeda calling for muslims in Detroit to kill Americans, coincidence, I think not.

Why on earth would Clinton be campaigning for the mayor of Lansing, MI in Detroit? Is there no bigger race in the country 10 days before the elections for the allegedly hottest Dem campaigner to be attending? Something truly odd about this.

It’s the Governor’s race, socialist Democrat Bernero against liberal Republican Snyder.

The wheels have truly come off the bus if they have to send the Clinton to Detroit to turn out the vote. They’re screwed and it couldn’t happen to a worse bunch. Now, don’t let that stop you from voting, but if you’re reading this site, it won’t.

“Magic” Johnson is still alive

I wonder if Slick Willie and 0pansy will survive as long too?

Thanks. There was nothing in the excerpt except the reference to his being mayor ... so I thought it was odd. Good luck with anyone’s turning MI around. Let the D have it.

Great. I hope he gets to follow Rahm Emmanuel's example and shake hands of commuters in this fine train station:



...and goes canvassing in this fine Detroit neighborhood:

I don’t forsee good things for Bill. Don’t know anything about Obama’s medical condition so don’t know about him. They always keep serious things secret from the public.

- Like 0pansy - no med reports on Slick Willie

He must have always been high on something - 0pansy too -

Look at their choice of mates and women -

(Bill Ayres included for 0pansy)

[He must be soooooooo jealous of Obambi.]

I think it's been said that he downright hates Obama, especially since he beat out Hillary for the Presidency and Bubba lost his chance to be “First Lady”...mmmm...”First Gigolo”....Lol

[He must have always been high on something ]

Lol, don't forget all his years in Arkansas and the MENA airport drug trafficking. Hillary's brother said Bill had a nose like a vacuum cleaner!

Hillary wasn't all that bad looking and he needed her intelligence to help him become President. There's no question Hillary's smart. Bill's big draw was he looks and his charm AND his gift of gab.

The gift of gab did him in when it came to the matter of Is...Is...

I have seen Hillary’s college dormroom photo

No amount of BONDO could fix that wreck!

- Slick & 0pansy blew all credibility with their choices in life

- Alarm bell rings:

“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Yes, I've seen the bad ones too, but I have some of the good ones where she looked pretty. She was one of those Vassar [sp] girls who didn't do anything to fix herself up and she wore those big glasses with dark frames.

Her hair often looked stringy. It was the ‘60’s, the Hippy days and they fit right in, lol. They both looked really cute in their wedding photo.
