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.

Typical libspeak, everything is related to sex in their poor Fruedian universe. If you ask me, I don’t think “Willie” would cull anything or anyone. And he doesn’t seem to be the only Clinton that thinks with their lower half. It really looks as if Uma is calling the foreign policy shots for Hildabeast where Muslims are concerned.

I don't see how a person can sleep at night with so many lies they tell. How do you juggle so much deception to so many people without either being crazy or going crazy?

Or, is she lying to herself? Maybe so. Obama is a god, you know. Who could NOT like him?

I'll bet Michelle is using hair dye by the buckets to cover the gray. I look for major Michael Jackson style plastic surgery after the election. I hope they fix that sneer.

That would be foursome. Obama and Slick are both always two-faced.

Bill brings the Gay Boys for Obama, and Obama gives Bill the Groupies He is not interested in....

It’s a Symbiotic Relationship.

Apparently “Bromance” is a “Safe” word

According to one translation from the UrbanDictionary

“A strictly non-sexual relationship between two completely heterosexual men that are close and enjoy eachothers company but still enjoy the company of women.”

Notice the forced “strictly” when ‘non-sexual’ is brought up and the forced “but still enjoy” when speaking of the wimmin’ folk....

A quick reference to connect Anderson Cooper and a “bromance” would sway it to it’s ‘real’ meaning

the ICK... ;)

Not that I would ever defend MoochO, but the term "bromance" really is not a big deal. I first heard it when people were describing movies about two male best friends, which used to be referred to as "buddy movies," but now are referred to as "bromances." The word specifically refers to a non-sexual best friend relationship between two guys, usually in their twenties or early thirties. One where often a woman interferes because her presence pulls one friend away from the other and a sense of abandonment ensues. (Come on, admit it...that's happened to everyone, male or female.) These storylines usually mark a "rite of passage" for the one being abandoned, as he has to learn to grow up and out of his juvenile, fraternity-boy rut and realize that college is over and it's time to become an adult.

Joey and Chandler on "Friends" were the perfect "Bromance." Both heterosexual, both best friends, one always got all the chicks.

That being said.... the idea that BJ and BO are a "bromance" is laughable, seeing as how one could never turn his back on the other without worrying about finding a knife embedded there soon after.

Bromance

They can pretend all they want that it isn't QUEER but no one will convince me.

She’s so full of baloney. The Bubba does not have any bromantic feelings for that scrawny smokin effeminate Gollum. BC likes round women who adore him. Obama does not adore anyone including himself. Maybe he does have some affection for his daughters, but I think he’s kind of detached.

michelle you have opened a can of worms...nasty ones at that!!

question Michelle....
George W. Bush is also a former President so why does your husband blame all the problems he faces on another President, when he should MAN UP and face some responsibility??

also George H.W. Bush is a former President also..does he chat with him once in awhile???

OR...do FORMER President all have to be DEMOCRAT for your hubby to have bromace♥ with???

this woman is not the smartest in the White House...for sure.
