At a campaign event for Barack Obama's reelection campaign, Bill Clinton said that Mitt Romney's argument "is true, we're not fixed":

"Governor Romney's argument is, we're not fixed, so fire him and put me in," said Clinton. "It is true we're not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, I had so much hope four years ago and I don't now, I thought he was going to cry. Because he knows that it's not fixed."

UPDATE: A Romney spokesman comments: "We agree with former President Bill Clinton. The economy has not been fixed under President Barack Obama. Today, more than 23 million Americans are struggling for work, poverty has increased and food stamps are at record levels. Mitt Romney believes we can do better by creating 12 million new jobs with higher take-home pay, cutting spending to put our nation on course for a balanced budget, and actually fixing our economy."

Well he can’t have it both ways. Why is he out there helping obama?

[jersey117]

He doesn’t have it in him. I think when he loses, he’ll just exit stage left and tell us it’s our loss.

Here we go...!!

Romney said something the other night that sealed it for me. While the HUBBUB was going on and Obastard and Crowlady were trying to stop Romney from talking, Romney kept saying-”Government creates nothing.” He said it a couple of times before they got him stopped.

THAT was the best point he could have ever made. He needs to get his campaign to stop saying we will create jobs. He needs them to say that he will enable the economy and business to create jobs buy turning us loose/free.

Should not have race carded his main woman.

Bill "gives" with one hand and "takes" with the other.

The imagery created here, once in the mind, stays there. A grown man, crying because he failed to deliver on bold promises is not the image the Obama campaign has tried to manufacture and sell.

Bill's "generous" pity, combined with Hillary's noble CEO-type acceptance of "responsibility" on the eve of the Tuesday debate, which forced the President's reluctant "no, let me do it" response plays right into Romney's playbook now and Hillary's future plans.

The Clintons may not have any real love for each other, but messing with Hillary? That’s Bill’s job.

FWIW, here's an important video message from billy via the interweb.

“Should not have race carded his main woman.”

Affirmative. We know the bad feelings go back to that. Leftists don't see it. Mentioned it at reddit a few times, got relentlessly voted down. "Wrong".
This year's ominous "Obama is an amateur" comment from the book, another not subtle hint.

I would bet that Obama did not see it coming. Those around him? Who knows, perhaps he wouldn't listen. Part of what makes him incompetent.
Yet Bill remained the good soldier through the convention. Took one for the team, then got no thanks.
Another familiar aspect of Mr Obama’s incompetence. Closest friends ride under the bus, take the blame. All for The One.

More rumbles last week or so... Clinton complains “the phone never rings”.

The last straw had to be leaving Hill
to take the heat for Libya.

But still, Bill is first a Democrat, and loyal to that. This is the only source of some surprise on my part. This is debatable, it may well simply be revenge. But I conclude that because he is willing to unload now, at Obama’s weakest, neediest moment, Bill must believe it is over. Big D internals must spell disaster. He knows Obama is going to lose.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Bill didn’t appreciate Hitlery having to fall on the Benghazi sword.

[RoseofTexas]

WHEWWWWWWWW! I can just hear Hitlery on the other line talking to bubba...THAT sob hung me out to dry that *&^%, he is a *&^% so tell me again bubba why we should help him get reelected again?!!! No worries precise, I’m on it...hehehhe that SOB is going to get his..HE DOUBLE CROSSED US FOR THE LAST TIME! OH if only I were a fly on the wall when those two scums phoned.

[onyx]

Wonderful left-handed smack down by Bill!

[GreenHornet]

Well, let me tell you this: If you’re relying on Billy Clinton to “save your bacon,” you do not understand him.

I wouldn’t trust Bubba with a 3-minute egg.

He’s in it for himself - all the time.

I don't trust him either. However, this was not a "misstatement" or "poor choice of words" on Clinton's part. He knows exactly what he's doing, and has a reason for saying what he said in the manner in which he said it. Obama has his hands full with Romney, but at the same time, he also needs to keep one eye on the Clintons. This is getting more interesting with each passing day.

Around the 50 minute mark of the debate. Obama really doesn’t look like he is going to cry after the question - or that he is upset. Clinton is smacking Jughead between the ears...

[Crimson Elephant]

Both Hillary and Bill are giving Romney TV commercials ON PURPOSE, but with deniability. He’ll walk it back if challenged, to keep his standing, but if you watch Bill Clinton in interviews his wheels are spinning on EVERY word.

” LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Benghazi is also blowing up in Obama’s face..LOL!!

Benghazi had better be his ultimate downfall.

FOUR AMERICANS are STILL DEAD BY UNCONSCIONABLE TERRORIST SLAUGHTER!
