Bill Clinton: I'll campaign for Obama 'after the Jewish holidays'
CNN ^ | 25 Sep 2008 | None

Posted on 09/25/2008 2:55:56 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Bill Clinton praised Sarah Palin Wednesday, saying he found the Alaska governor an “appealing person” and her and her family “gutsy, spirited and real.”

“I think that she and her husband and their kids come across gutsy, spirited and real,” he said in an interview to be broadcast Wednesday night. “I have significant disagreements with her about any number of social and economic issues but I find her an appealing person and I think that it’s best to say that Senator McCain looks like he knew what he was doing. He picked somebody who gave him a lot of energy, a lot of support.”

....

"Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you're waiting until after the Jewish holidays?" asked King. "No. But I think it would be — if we're trying to win in Florida, it may be that — you know, they think that because of who I am and where my political base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there.

"But Senator Obama also has a big stake in doing well in the Jewish community in Florida, where Hillary did very well and where I did very well. And I just think respecting the holidays is a good thing to do," he said.

I don't think Clinton likes Obama very much and knows how to push a Muslim's buttons.

The ‘Toon is clearly telegraphing that he’s not really for Obama, he’s just going through the motions because he has to.

Translation?:
McCain and Palin are real. They know what they're doing by their version of what is good for America.

Obama is cynical and trying to appeal by race.

Notice that Bill, ever the stickler for the precise meaning of words, didn’t specify which Jewich holiday he was referring to. Hanukkah begins on December 21.

He’s also inadvertently doing us a big favor in 2012, turning the base against Hillary with his constant campaigning for McCain. I’m hoping Kucinich will be the nominee in 2012.

With his "cracker vote" comment, I would say he's telegraphing more than that. I think he is trying to equate the "cracker vote" to how Obama views it.

By the way, where has Jesse Jackson been?
