He does look happy, doesn’t he? A while since he’s been in back of the old presidential seal podium.
My mom says Clinton was the only president she ever saw who left the presidency looking better then when he went in. He loves it.
Bammy sees the snake and can’t help picking it up. He must be desperate.

This almost seems like an episode of 24 where they bring back a former president because the current one is decompensating. More like decomposing. Barry is truly falling apart at the seams now.

I agree. I believe that the entire country is rapidly approaching unexpected overload and outrage fatigue.
I know I am.

Has this ever been done before? Personally I think it was a way to give marching orders to his minions.

Oh come on...please quit with the wishful thinking. There is not the slightest chance in hell that Oblama will resign.

My cousin likes to tantalize me, knowing my reactionary political stands. But hes a good Catholic truth teller. It might all be resolved over the weekend, and well know nothing more of it, but as he texted, something is simmering over there.I am waiting for a certain mine canary to stop singing.
To: RobinMasters
Who would think he wasn’t smart enough to know better than to go on stage with Bill without a teleprompter?

I wonder what bill got for this ? I mean , besides making zero look like a fool. If there's one thing you can say about Bill Clinton, it's that he's a master at the game of politics. He's a complete natural, and as shrewd as they come. Hillary might have had a shot at winning the Democrat nomination, if she'd just let Bill run the show, but I digress.
New details leaking out suggest that this was an impromptu press conference that was Bill Clinton's idea. Another poster put forth the theory that Bill got Barry to call it, with the total intention of showing him up as the weak amateur he is, in front of the national press and the American public.
Having long ago sized up Obama as a pompous narcissist, with little in the way of real political skills, Clinton knew that he could force Obama into an embarrassing situation by effectively commandeering the press conference. Once he got on the mic, he did exactly that.
What was Obama going to do? Stand to one side in his press briefing room while getting punked by the master? Uh, no. Just as Clinton knew he would, he ducked out, which made him look like the fool he is.
Anyway, that's one theory of what happened. Actually, I don't think Clinton initially set out to punk a sitting president like that, but once he was in that situation, he simply did what he does, which is take control of the room.
People who've watched the video say that Clinton looks genuinely surprised when Obama says that he has to go. I think Clinton just took it from there and let Obie punk himself.

"This shows how much his is in over his head and desperate." I can't remember a TV moment where a President came across weaker and that is including President Nixion's resignation speech!

LOL!! Yeppers and after Clinton said “ I don’t want her mad, please go” and Odumbo left, Clinton had to cover his mouth to hide his smile.
