How Clinton Plans to Upstage the President
NY Post ^ | 9/2/12 | Edward Klein

Posted on 09/02/2012 6:26:25 AM PDT by NoobRep

The Obama campaign has insisted on seeing the speech before Clinton delivers it, and Clinton has just as insistently refused to show it to them. As a result, no one — not even the president — knows what Clinton intends to say. This has led some Democratic insiders to speculate that Clinton will make not-so-flattering remarks about the last four years of Democratic rule in the White House.

I saw the ad too, on another game. I wonder how many people will pick up, as I did, that for the first time in memory a sitting President needs to use a predecessor to make himself look good. Basically, the message was vote for O because he’s just like me.

GAH! I remember that happening, but I don't remember it being SO CRINGEWORTHY! 0: "I've kept the first lady waiting for over 30 minutes, so I'm going to take off. But you're in good hands." BJ: "Well I don't want to make her mad, so please go."

Historians are going to watch that years from now with absolute shock and disbelief.

My wife cordially despises all things Manning, extending unto the father (ARCHEEEEE!, as she would have it) and mother. I don’t blame them so much as the tongue baths applied by the network sports groupies. Southern college football teams are always a hoot to watch, Southern college football is a hoot. The Oregon Ducks win on style points, however.

“I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!”

The man had Chinese spies in his White House. What’s more, he damn well knew it. I don’t think he’s too worried about being seen as a traitor.

As for him being fairly intelligent, I don’t think so. He’s a fairly sick man, whose wife kept his bacon out of the fire most of his adult life. And she’s even sicker.

Without her he would never have been president. Without her, I think he would have been strung up on charges.

Without the Republican Party and it’s insistence on some Welfare and other fiscal reform, his second term would have sealed his fate as a complete fool. Now the Dems take credit for him being so fiscally Conservative. B.S.

This guy is a perpetual adolescent lout, boinking his way through life. The one thing he got right. His presidential library suits him to a tee. It looks just like a mobile house trailer up on stilts.

With apologies to respectable people who live in mobile or prefab structures.

This is all Rat hype to get people interested in watching and listening to Clinton. I have vowed not to watch any of the DNC convention. What a bore.

ANY story put out regarding what bill Clinton plans to do I would take with a grain of salt. It’s possible that the obama campaign does indeed know what Clinton plans to say. And its also possible that Clinton himself put out this, what may be a phony story to make the republicans look foolish in believing in a story that isn’t true.

This has happened a couple times before when both clintons wrote their books. Just a couple weeks before they were to hit the bookstores, they circulated phony stories that they haven’t even delivered a finished manuscript to the publishers.

It’s funny at about 0:30 when obama says he’s got to attend one more Christmas party, Clinton just about chokes.

Wow! Being called “arrogant” by Bloomberg is like being called “bloodthirsty” by Stalin!

I agree. BillyBoy is as big a narcissist as Obama, granted a more likeable one. Either way, once dissed, they never forget.

There is an unpaid bill still to come due here.

You’d think the Obama campaign would have set out their requirement to review Clinton’s remarks before inviting him speak. It’s not as if they don’t know what he’s capable of doing.

Beggars can't be choosers. Obammyboy needs Billyboy a lot more than Bill needs obama. If Bill wanted to get nasty he could sink Obama like a rock, any time, and the Alien Usurper knows it. Clinton may play nice here after all, but he is calling the shots, make no mistakes.

Remember that joint presser Bill had with Obama on the economy? Obama left early with some lame excuse about needing to meet Michelle or whatever--Bill took over the mic. and the presser took off. Like the old allstar taking over for the raw rookie. The whole room changed in a matter of seconds.

Obama aced out the Clintons in 2008, with help from unknown outside sources, but that mojo has evaporated in the unforgiving light of reality. Obama will give Clinton what he wants, unless he is eager to get back to the beach in Hawaii.

Great shot. I remember that event. It says all you need to know about the pathetic obama regime and the democrat party in the 21st century.

I watched it in shock and disbelief at the time. Who ever heard of a president pulling himself for a pinch hitter in a press conference? Unglaublich.

Actually, he didn’t destroy the future of America in order to improve his chances of winning the next election, he destroyed the future of America because he wants the future of America to be destroyed.

If it also helps him win the next election, giving him four more years to finish us off, that’s “Win-win” for him.
