Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.



However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side. Obama leaves promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."

“Emotionally, he gets off on the partying and power, but he hasn’t the slightest concept of what responsibility is. He is truly the man-child.”

I trust that all of the assholes (53% of this pathetic country) that voted for this clown are drinking this in. It gets worse by the day. This guy is a no-body. He would not qualify for running a candy store.

Obambi did not hide his fury. But it was his own incompetent fault for not controlling Bubba from the get-go.

I would imagine he was furious and wishing he never invited Clinton to the White House for whatever it was they really talked about. And Clinton- he probably loved every minute!

I think what they are trying to do is remind Dems ann the media that Clinton had to deal with nasty right-wingers too, and life was good when he triangulated, so give Obama a break...

Looks like a picture from the 1990's, with one of Clinton's aids leaving.

Anyway, Obama got upstaged by Bill, and did not look presidential in any way.

Never in my life have I seen this happen. A sitting president abandons the podium to an ex-president expecting the ex-pres to “make things all right” with their party?

What kind of sniveling baby do we have running the country? He doesn't have the backbone to stand up there and say, this is the best plan that we're going to get? This was the best we can do right now?

No, he has to call in a grownup to do it for him. And Bill looks really bad. Bill is like the Charlie Sheen of Presidents....you know that he's no good; but ya still bend an ear to what he says and chuckle at his Bill-ness.

But this other guy....this Obama really needs to find a third world country that is already in ruinous despair and go rule there. That's what he wants isn't it?

You know Obama is really pathetic when by comparison he makes a burned out Bill Clinton look like a statesman and policy genius

That was my immediate impression. Clinton looks frail.

Can you remind me of the context of that video - it was a funeral I think?

It was a funeral for Ron Brown. OJ Clinton was smiling and having a good old time until he realized there was a camera on him.
Instant glad to sad.

Oh OK. Yeah I thought it was an important issue like that, not just some random funeral.
