First lady says there’s ‘bromance’ between Obama, Bill Clinton

First lady says there’s ‘bromance’ between Obama, Bill Clinton By Alicia M. Cohn - 09/21/12 04:43 PM ET

Michelle Obama this week acknowledged that the extended hug between President Obama and former President Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, in a surprise appearance by the president following Clinton’s speech, was “the public display of the bromance” that has been going on for some time.

Obama and the first lady have invoked Clinton’s name many times on the campaign trail since his well-received speech to the Democratic convention earlier this month. Both Obama and his GOP opponent, Mitt Romney, have featured Clinton’s policies in TV ads, with Romney charging that Obama is gutting Clinton policies and Obama warning that Romney's plan contrasts with the days of plenty represented by the Clinton years.

"Barack stays in close communication with all the former presidents, and Bill Clinton has been an important adviser, friend and supporter for a very long time,” the first lady told “Access Hollywood” in an interview airing on Thursday and Friday this week. “Barack understands that to be good at this job, you've got to learn and listen to those who've done it. And because there are so few people alive today who've done this job, you don't waste any advice. He's reached out to all the living presidents and seeks their advice and counsel."

Clinton has also headlined fundraisers on Obama’s behalf this cycle, but in 2008, when his wife Hillary Clinton was competing against Obama for the Democratic nomination, Bill Clinton was one of Obama’s most outspoken opponents.

“We haven't been close friends a long time or anything like that, but [Obama] knows that I support him,” Clinton told NBC News earlier this month.

Clinton’s popularity has grown since he left the presidency, which might be one reason both presidential campaigns are now referring to him as they argue in favor of their own policies.

homosexuals and the left always use certain words to promote their agenda and sadly many on our side go along with it..

Illegals, undocumented
homosexuals , gay
obamacare or socialized health care, affordable act
islamic attack, work place
attack on Christian, crime
attack on a homosexual , hate crime

homosexual marriage, marriage equality the list is endless and you and Rush is right, WORDS DO HAVE A MEANING It's about time our side stopped using their words and used the words which are supposed to be used .

asked my kids who go to school and they had never heard of it either, I guess it;s a north east elitist word which was made up at teir snotty nosed elitist cocktail party.

I want to puke every time I hear the word bromance. You want bromance? Go watch Brokeback Mountain.

Maybe it's a metrosexual thing. As far as I'm concerned, straight men have friendships, not bromances.

Narcissists don’t naturally get along with one another, they only tolerate another narcissist as long as they need to in order to get what they want.

Absolutely correct observation!

Hilarious photo, but we can be sure the ill people of IL are not laughing. The political decline of IL would be a good topic on which to focus.

Edward Klein in "The Amateur": "I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!”

MO is making stuff up and lying to the gullible suck-up media again ... no surprise, though.

If you were married to Hillary, Barry-O might look good to you, too. Retch...

Very seldom on FR does one encounter an "unbeatable argument" .... I think you just threw one out there. (So to speak.)

Now, there’s been no indication that Bill Clinton switch-hits. He’s a dog .....

And he bites. ("Better put some ice on that.")

He leg-humps, too.

He's a straight rapist-frotteur and masher. Cujo the Leg-Humper.

Between the two of them, they have destroyed the dignity of the office and the good name of representative democracy. It's the fault of the voter base. They elected this human garbage, this rotting detritus.

That is the creepiest gay-leer-grimace I've ever seen. You could spend all night going through the images in the porno shop and not find anything that stinks as strongly. This man embodies the demimonde and a life of personal degradation.

So what will happen when Obama has to throw Hillary under the Bus?

Let's be optimistic. Maybe the bus will arrive to find Barky and Slick rolling around in the gutter choking the life out of each other and knifing Beastie and Moochelle in the back .... and run over the whole squirming mass. And back up over them .... hit 'er again ... then back up again .... and do 'er one more time.

Okay, so call me Pollyanna. I deserve it.

The ‘first lady’ descriptor, when applied to that fat-assed communist cow, is a spew-inducing obscenity.

Hillary’s only chance of ever becoming president is if Obama loses

Actually, no. Barky could make a huge strategic mistake and, at some point, name Hitlery his replacement VP for Joe Biden. Fatal error, resolving in four, three, two ...
