Bill Clinton has to be the smartest guy in the room even when he’s not in the room.
Clinton is not on Barack Obama’s campaign staff, is not a trusted adviser, does not set Obama’s strategy.
He did so last week when he went on television and said Mitt Romney had a “sterling” record while running Bain Capital.
The Obama message is exactly the opposite. The Obama campaign had just run a TV ad claiming that working Americans had been harmed by Bain Capital and included one man saying Bain had been a “vampire” that “sucked the blood out of us.”
Whether you liked or hated the ad (I liked it), it attacked Romney on his strongest point: He is a good businessman who knows how to create jobs and, therefore, will be a good president.
But Bill Clinton did not like that ad.
“I think he had a good business career,” Clinton said of Romney and added that “a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold.”
Obama does not need Clinton undercutting him. The two are not close, but they are not supposed to be enemies. They have golfed together, they attend fundraisers together, their staffs talk and, oh, yeah, Clinton’s wife is Obama’s secretary of state.

Sane Americans don’t want Obama to win either.
wishful thinking perhaps
Bubba wants a 3rd term and thinks he will get one if Hillary is elected
can you even imagine Hillary and her staff controlling her husband if she ever became president?
Something very strange about the One’s color. Are they making him look more black? BC looks his normal pinky pink but the other guy’s photo has definitely been altered.
NoEx, Hillary would order him around like a step child.
Silverleaf, he does appear blacker.
Clinton out of Control. Isn’t that redundant or duh or something.
This is as transparent as Saran Wrap.
The last chance Hillary! has is 2016. The Rats know 2012 is lost, but because of their dependance on AA can’t sack Obama, so they’re looking at 2016.
‘he does appear blacker.’
And skinnier. And stranger.
What is up w that man? He doesn’t look good at all.
Michael Jackson sometimes wore that exact same weird expression. Jackson had out-of-control substances abuse issues.
Makes you wonder.
If you hit hard on the red or magenta in image processing, the white guy will go pinker at the same time as the black guy goes more brown. It could be routine and not intentional—say, just to keep Bubba from looking too pale and washed-out under the stage lights.
Obama going to blame it on Bill LOL
The Federal Regime is totally behind Hillary Romney.
If Hillary Romney would not have been placed in the GOP, then they would have exposed The Undocumented Coffee Server before the Dem. Convention, and placed another on the ballot.
I don’t think Bill wants Hillary to be Pres. I doubt he even likes her, much less wants her to do something he did.
Bill C is the type of guy who wants all Dem Presidents to fail so, in his mind, it props up his legacy.
They're setting things up for a bigger attack. I wouldn't trust either group - but if I had to pick, I'd pick the liars on the Obama side - they're more obvious. In the mean time, we're all talking about liberals - Clinton and Obama. Plan seems to be working.
What’s the deal with fawning over Hillary? What the hell has she done??
She’s another empty suit, just like Obama, all full of vague generalities and media adoration. Don’t forget, prior to 2001, her only “qualification” was being Billy’s wife. And she hasn’t done a whole lot since, unless you count photo-ops and exaggerating Bosnian landings.
Get all these idiots outta here, the Democratic Party needs a total overhaul!
Can’t Bill run again? I know you can have no more than 2 consecutive terms but can’t you serve a third non-consecutive term?
Perhaps we will have a Clinton-Clinton ticket in the future, she playing second fiddle of course.
Golfing in the hot sun.
:: But Bill Clinton did not like that ad. ::
That’s not why BJ said what he said.
:: Clinton...does not set Obama’s strategy. ::
That’s why! BJ thinks Obamugabe campaigning against American capitalism is a losing strategy (true!) so he’s forcing Obamugabe to drop it.
It’s not to prop up Hillary, it’s to keep the marxist in the White Hut.
“If Obama loses it’s Clinton’s fault!”
Yes indeed!
It’s in large part Clinton’s fault we got stuck with this buffoon in the first place.
LOVE IT!!!!! LOL
Here’s how I see it: Clinton is starting to realize Romney and Michael Leavitt could manage universal health care better than Obama’s clowns.
My prediction: SCOTUS approves Obamacare. Romney wins. Romney repeals Obamacare with a deal managed by Leavitt that all states develop health insurance exchanges. We become locked into universal health care under a different name. Managed health care wins, we lose.
The Clinton’s hate Obama. Bill more so than Hillary. They may never see the White House again but Bill wants to keep his status as the only elected full 2 term Democratic since FDR.
Use “Instant Fix” at your peril, eh?
No (See 22nd Amendment)
I think Politico just jumped the shark with their own readers by the comments there.
They tolerate Obama, but not at the expense of throwing Clinton under the bus.
Bubba’s very much in control. Bubba’s in it for himself, and for Hillary. In that order.
I did check it and you are correct. That’s a relief to me!
And meanwhile, no one notices that Jimmy Carter has just risen a notch above being ABSOLUTE WORST president of the past 100 years.

So typical. When McLame spoke at cross current with the GOP mainstream the presstitutes called him a marerick.
When Sink Master does it with his party head, he’s out of control.
I am not surprised.
The One seems to have acquired a Desmond Tutu color although he is only semi-black.
He’s known this since his “Coffee Server” remark.
And it’s Federal-Care. The Trick or Treat.
Treat, under the communist Undocumented Coffee Server.
Trick, under fascist Hillary Romney.
Both at everyones front door, with shakedown threats. Exortion.
The scary thing is after the kenyan a Clinton looks electable as a "moderate".
That place where ole jug ears is looks like Hanaumma Bay on Oahu.
Ole jug ears looks like a total dork.

You’re EXACTCLY right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, we’re pretty much screwed.
Bump
Bill Clinton in 2012:(paraphrased) "Romney has passed the qualifications test. He is a brilliant businessman."
Both sound like concession speeches to me.
Maybe it’s payback for 2008. Likely not but if Clinton can help defeat Obama, I’d welcome the intrusion into this election cycle.
Hillary is the Ron Paul of the DNC....she’s unelectable. Her lies (uh..sorry- misspoken comments) about Bosnia skewered her in 2008.
