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.

“DO YOU NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRAVITAS TO HANDLE THIS?”

He don’t have enough balls, let alone gravitas.

Nor does this racist idiot have any BRAIN's either, being an Incompetent & Idiot President...

I think that BO got pissed when Clinton said “ I don’t want to make her MAD, please go”. Watch little Barry’s face. Shock, anger, big fake smile, anger as he exits.

Tonight made me realize that there were no “former” dem presidents at the time when Jimmy was president. Imagine for a moment, LBJ, taking over for him.

Just wow.

Yes, and she would serve for the remainder of his term. After Jan 3rd, it would be the new Speaker.

Right, and if you watch, it looks like O shot Gibbs a look and he had just said Gibbs will do last call. I think he meant for Gibbs to make the Clinton’s last question and get him the hell out there.

Is it protocol to address former Presidents as Mr. President??

It was surreal to see Obambi leaving and hear the reporter address Clinton as Mr President. Even if that is protocol..the setting made Obambi into coffee getter.

OBAMA, CLINTON IS NOT THE PRESIDENT.

WHY IS HE THERE?

DO YOU NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRAVITAS TO HANDLE THIS?


No, 0 doesn't, and by having Clinton do his job for him, 0 is as much as admitting it. It's marvelous.

".....but it sounds to me like Obama just really, really needed a smoke."

Didn't you hear on the news last night they said he hasn't had a cigarette since May.

Like I believe that report. I don't know of anyone who has quit smoking losing as much weight as he has. Most gain. I know, as I did.

Creepy. I have been thinking about where’s Biden for about the last hour myself. Something’s up.

Then, there’s that whole ‘collapsed’ Holbrooke (right??) and he’s over India/Pakistan (right?).

I’d just been thinking this week about when the higher ups would start dying/leaving, we’d know we’re close to the end game moves.

Does Bill Clinton's appearance at the White House prove that Obama is in over his head?

Currently running about 50-50. So, ~50% of DUmmies think Zero's in over his head! Wow!

The smoker I knew was a full-on malignant narcissist [just like Obama]. They have very poor/underdeveloped control skills and a serious deficit of self-discipline. They also have a massive sense of entitlement. If they want a cigarette, nobody had better tell them not to have one. If Obama wanted and/or needed one, and he perceived Clinton as preventing him, it’s not impossible he just said, ‘screw it; I’m having one anyway’.

What a little bitch. How pathetic to be crawling back to a man who doesn’t even like you.

Barack obama thinks Clinton is the only guy who can save his flailing Presidency.

Slick Clinton thinks Obama should be bringing him coffee.

I guess we found a replacement for Monica.

Agreed. Just as telling as Obama’s lack of weight gain is the way Gibbs denied it. It was all pauses, hesitation, passive voice and weasel words. If there was a word of truth to it, he would simply have said, ‘He quit nine mos ago and hasn’t smoked since. Next question’.
