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.
Either she doesn’t know that “bromance” is an insult to us real men, or she’s trying to “say” something.......
It is. Monica said Slick liked threesomes.
Oh GAWD!!!!
BRAIN BLEACH!!!!!! BRAIN BLEACH!!!!
Oh GAWD!!!!
BRAIN BLEACH!!!!!! BRAIN BLEACH!!!!
So they’re only kidding when they trade racial insults.
I guess they do like to cross swords after all.
Larry Sinclair’s working title for his book is “One Man Standing”, IIRC. Hearing this new information from Michelle, which one stands and which on kneels?
That’s just icky.
It’s also stupid, if she really thinks that. Clinton’s smiling to his face and awaiting his opportunity to plunge the knife in (metaphorically, in case any secret service are monitoring...)
So what will happen when Obama has to throw Hillary under the Bus?
Pff. I have a feeling that each of them is simply pretending to like the other one, for their own advantage. 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.
Please God, make it stop! Make it go away!
Didn't Monica say something about 3-ways?
I’m just going to assume that means sex.
Which way is Barack facing when he bows to Clinton?
Bill’s gay too?
:P
I surrender, and pardon my ignorance of popular culture. What in the heck is a “bromance.”
Considering how God awful Clinton looks this might be the best he can do.
‘Scuse me while I go throw up.
