Obama installs Clinton alone at the podium, leaves him to it; Obama gone, Clinton still there
Vanity | December 10, 2010

Posted on 12/10/2010 2:01:24 PM PST by La Lydia

The darnedest thing just happened on TV. Still happening. Obama takes Clinton to the White House press briefing room. Turns the podium over to Clinton, and leaves the room. If you didn't have the sound on your TV, it looked like Obama resigned and handed over to Clinton. Clinton still talking, setting up dueling filibuster with Bernie Sanders. Clinton at that podium is bad deja vu.

...he wasn’t all red faced and puffy as he was in 2001-2006. He looked like someone very worried about his health who has spent a year eating ...

Huh? His face is almost as red as a beet. A year eating?

Forget the sarcasm tag?

Okay that was hilarious. I feel good. Woo. Clinton, according to them, is a corporatist warmonger! They are bit-tah.

What’s is your take on this?

I think bammie lost HIS standing today.

As another FReeper put it, it was a Coup d' TOTUS.

Real simple.

Obama does not want to have to respond on the fly to anything Clinton may let slip.

From the second video:

Clinton: "I still spend about an hour a day trying to study this economy."

That's about an hour a day more than Obama spends on all Presidential issues combined. His day doesn't begin until 9:30 am at which time he attends his hour-long daily briefing. At around 9:50 am, he excuses himself from the meeting and asks someone to take notes for him. After that, his schedule is free for the remainder of the day.

I don’t know what he was thinking but turning his podium over to Clinton and the *lame* excuse given made him look exceptionally weak. There is something wrong with that man.

A lot of us have been speculating that Bammie is getting ready to quit. This sure seems like a prelude to it.

I wonder if he’s been offered a UN job or something he really wants. Grand Mufti of the Universe, for example.

Clinton may be a slick politician and inifinitely smarter than the brain damaged 0bastard, but he's on the wrong side! We don't want a better politician on the wrong side!

I will never forget the horrible years of the Clintoon presidency. Never.

“I don’t want to make her mad, please go,”

Ouch.

Early in presidential primaries, didn't Jesse Jackson that fantasize about cutting off Barry Soetoro's balls?

Bill Clinton just delivered Barry's Little Boy Balls on a silver platter.

Okay - a lot of people have been saying this for months. It is true that the evil that is Clinton and the evil that is 0bastard are not really comparable. 0bastard is on a whole ‘nother level, just much more incompetent.

What I’m noticing in the first video you posted - Obama signs off on Bill Clinton and walks out without ever looking at the press or the camera. He deferred to Clinton as though he was a superior.

What was most striking to me is how his obligations to the party he had to go to, his wife and Clinton, were more important to him than addressing the press or the viewing audience.

In those few seconds, he seemed to crack from anxiety and ignore the people and the press. That is not normal behavior for a leader... he seemed to be running away. Really bizarre, and Gibbs seemed caught off guard too.

HaH! I had the same sort of thoughts about an SNL skit. Zero introduces Clintoon and things clunk along awkwardly for a bit, then as the press starts to ask questions on diverse topics, Zero starts calling multiple and increasingly strange people up to the microphone to answer them. Would be an SNL classic.

Obama takes Clinton to the White House press briefing room. Turns the podium over to Clinton, and leaves the room.
Thanks STARWISE.

Gibbs nervous actions are quite interesting.

Did Clinton piss off BO saying he “asked me about my advice.” Was the the defining moment?

Notice BO’s quick cheshire grin before getting the hell out of dodge. Dude was punked!

The continuation of the melt down. There are some people on this site that have dealt with Narcissists.

It would be interesting to hear their take on what is happening.

Clinton recommending Krauthammer??? what’s up with that?

...Obama just really, really needed a smoke. I lived with a smoker for many years, and there are just certain situations that trigger an unstoppable need.

************************

I’m gonna have to disagree. As a long time smoker I never left an intense situation to smoke a cigarette and I’m talking doing brain surgery and open-hearts.

BO was just punked. He’s a maroon whether he smokes or not.

Good question. I noticed that too. I think he called Krauthammer “brilliant” today - and we know Charles K. is NOT an Obama fan.

And Michael Goldfarb, a conservative strategist, sent in that he was “watching with no audio at the bar – Did Obama just resign?” He added moments later: “Can someone please ask about Vince Foster?”

But perhaps the best Twitter message of the afternoon goes to Ezra Klein of the Washington Post, who said: “After this, Bill Clinton is going to go sit in the Oval Office, ‘just until Obama gets back.’”
