Bill Clinton Arrives to Calm Democratic ‘Bed-Wetting’

By Jeff Zeleny @jeffzeleny Follow on Twitter Feb 5, 2014 12:42pm

The bed-wetting has begun. It may not be a pleasant image, but that’s the phrase used inside Obamaworld when Democrats start worrying about their political fortunes. And nine months before the midterm elections, the worry is intensifying, particularly given the latest batch of bad news for the new health care law.

David Plouffe, the president’s former campaign manager and top political adviser, first coined the term “bed-wetting”‘ back in 2008 when Democrats began openly fretting about their political challenges. He said the mood today inside the party is starting to remind him of the same moment.

When asked whether the bed-wetting phase of the 2014 campaign season was starting, he laughed and declared: “Ha. Of course it is.”

Democrats are indeed anxious, particularly with Republicans only six seats away from winning control of the Senate in November. By any calculation, it’s a tough political map. Democrats are defending Senate seats on unfriendly terrain across the South and other states where President Obama either lost decisively or struggled to win. This sets the stage for a contentious closed-door policy retreat and strategy session today that Senate Democrats are having with the president. In addition to Obama, the guest speaker is Bill Clinton, who is poised to deliver a speech, take questions and try to coach jittery Democrats how to keep their heads up during a rocky midterm election year.

Only a week after the president urged Democrats in his State of the Union address to get back on the offensive in the health care fight, a new CBO report puts them back on defense.

I guess Clinton is the expert. After all, he prevented Congress from switching to Republican during his Presidency! Oh, wait...

Term limits would fix this for the Democrats and Republicans.

Oh please, the only thing the Rats were worried about in ‘08 was if Obama or Hillary was going to be the next President.

They are SERIOULY scared right now as their base is turning against them.
Just like Bush lost his base starting in 2006.
The difference is Bush had no idea he had lost them.

The TRUTH is difficult to fight. It must be covered up with more lies and deceit...so an established liar is coming in to pep up more established liars....great strategy.

1994.

Sounds familiar, Democrats? Yeah, that guy up there helped make that happen.

You may now go back to your bed-wetting.

Instead of Clinton, they need McCain or Graham.

What a party...when a grifting smooth-tongued carny is the best thing that sordid party of misfits can provide.

Of course, on the RINO-ublican’s side, they cannot even gin up a believable felon to lie for them. Heck, even spine-deprived bonehead is just slush.

There is nothing they can do to sell a stinking steaming hunk of crap law. Fuzzy puppies, looney gay exercise dingbats, jammy clad dipwads will never do it.

We are talking people’s lives here. This turd cannot be polished. Even Slick Willie cannot make it look good.

Picture is big enough to fall into.

Figuratively.

I mean...not literally.

They (the faint-of-heart Democrats) are not waiting until they get in bed to do the “wetting”. They are doing it standing up, in their pants, in full view of the public.

Worse when they compound it with their whining.
