Bill Clinton Paints Obama As 'Establishment' Candidate

Bill Clinton, who carried Nevada in two general elections, urged voters Tuesday to buck labor endorsements for Sen. Barack Obama and support his wife in Saturday's hotly contested presidential caucuses as the only Democratic candidate with the experience necessary to change the country.

The former president trumpeted New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's accomplishments while painting Obama as the "establishment" candidate who would bring only the "feeling of change."

"One candidate says you should vote for me because I've not been involved at all in the struggles of the past and therefore we need to turn over a new leaf and (try) something absolutely new. And if you want the feeling of change, then that is the person you should support," Clinton said in a 75-minute speech to about 300 people in a YMCA gymnasium.

I used to think the Hillary haters were insane, now at least I understand them. I used to worry that Hillary couldn't win in a general election, now I'm scared she could win. Seriously folks, it would not be a good thing for this country. Even if you like Hillary, you have to agree that she brings some major problems with her. I for one am tired of all the drama.

I think deep down inside Bill wants Hillary to lose. He's not dumb, but he's really been saying some dumb things lately.

It is astounding.. it seems that the name CLINTON is inserted as RED MEAT in headlines on the HUFFINGTON POST to trigger PAVLOVIAN RESPONSES from its readers.

COGITO, ERGO SUM.

So Hillary is for change, yet has all the experience and much money from the establishment. Bill is best buds with Bush, Sr. Both Clintons look the other way (until caught) while proxies make racial insinuations. Charge them with any accusations and they go into outrage and denials! Disagree with her voting record and you are immediately labeled a "Hillary-hater." This is like, vote for Hillary—or prepare to have your character smeared!!!!!!! What poison, and I so wish they would stop it and cut the passive-aggressive schoolyard bully behavior. It's sneaky and unhealthy.

As a lifelong Democrat (and yes I also voted for Bill twice), I have lost ALL respect for both of the Clintons. These double-talking, corrupt, power-hungry two are a disgusting thing to witness and the longer this fiasco goes on, the worse it gets! I have tried to be as fair and neutral as possible to all of the contenders, but this recent outburst of Bill's seals the deal for me! I have hereby eliminated Hillary as a possible choice in the SC primary.

The Clintonistas must either think we are all stupid or be in a state of panic. I'll bet it is the latter

Nice try, Bill. You're losing your credibility.

[Canukistani]

I used to like and even respect this guy in spite of all the shenanigans, but this is truly Rovian stand-the world-on-its-head 'logic'. Is there anything he won't say or do to get Hillary elected? I'm beginning to think the answer is no.

This coming from an avowed liar, cheat and serial philanderer. Nothing here. Let's move on.

Bill is sure showing his stuff these days. I mean the stuff full of little brown droplets dribbling out of the wrong body exit! He is full of it!

When it comes to Bill Clinton - Obama must sit at the feet of the master.

[Alessan]

I think Bill has got this one right, on Obama establishment is right. Obama wants to be like Reagan, that's as establishment as you can get.
Ugh, God forbid this guy becomes President.

[Rubiconski]

Bill has never seen a lie that’s too ridiculous to tell.

My question is why is Hil-dog even allows Bill to campaign for her in the first place. Every time this guy so much as parts his dentures, her percentage numbers drop deeper down the drain, while Obama’s popularity starts scraping the base of the stratosphere.

Not that I’m complaining, of course. (Queue evil laughter)

I am worried about Bill Clinton. He seems to be delusional now. I hope his health care is better than ours - he needs help!

[audiophileguy]

For all the good Bill Clinton did as our President, he has completely lost credibility by proving to be a serial liar. I am completely flabbergasted that Bill Clinton could possibly claim Obama is the Establishment candidate, with the clear implication that Hillary is the agent of change from outside the beltway. This is a lie in word and spirit, and Bill should be ashamed of himself. Unfortunately, he has demonstrated that shame is not part of his persona. Really, really sad...........
