Bill Clinton, Stop Acting Like an Asshole

I used to love Bill Clinton. I am in his thrall when he talks issues. But by so clumsily not supporting Obama he makes Hillary look bad over and over.

I believe Bill's not in his right mind. He needs a muzzle and a therapist. When he was campaigning for Bill Clinton, he was as brilliant and deft and nuanced and sensible as any human being and natural politician could be.. But now he's too obviously envious and conflicted about Hillary and tripping all over himself as he "supports" her. He wants to be president -- he really doesn't want Hillary to be president or probably even to be a senator -- whether he knows it consciously or not.

Bill is a no husband in any sense of the word. He's not taking good care of his legal wife. Why won't he divorce her? Why doesn't she divorce him? She didn't refer to herself as a wife when she spoke of her identity -- I remember she did say she was a mother.

Again, Bill Clinton may be a genius but he is psychically impaired.

He subconsciously or consciously is competing with Hillary right now. No one in their right mind could say that Bill acts as if he's on Hillary's side. He cheats on her sexually and romantically -- even if it is part of their marital agreement -- that factor alone must raise a huge number of icky conflicts within him.

Bill Clinton is not acting in Hillary's interest when he says he admires the "natural politician" John McCain.

I'm so tired of Bill clumsily trying to hurt Obama. His motives are unpleasantly transparent to everyone. He's hoping to cause Obama to lose, so Hillary can run for president in the next election. Hillary is behaving well. Can she muzzle that "great" man -- pronto? Or else he's going to help us go down in history as the dumbest and most gullible electorate ever.

President William Jefferson Clinton -- please stop talking and start thinking about the welfare of your fellow citizens. Sssshhh!

Sad, but true. I loved President Clinton, but this small, petty , angry jealous fool he has become is shameful. Senator Clinton campaigned her heart out. She showed herself to be a woman of courage , and strength. One of the biggest detriments to her campaign was Bill.

Hilary continues to show grace under pressure, dignity and a reasonably sincere effort toward party unity. Bill looks smaller, and smaller every time he opens his mouth. Someone give this fool a muzzle. For all his pride, he's doing the best job possible tof destroying what was left of his substantial legacy. Let him on a few more talk shows and the job will be complete---tatters!

I think that Bill Clinton represents the voice of reason at this moment. Aren't we becoming a bit intolerant? Any hint of disagreement with Obama is seen as a heresy! Dogmatic attitudes cloud reason. Pride you say? Have you taken a close, honest look at Obama?

It's somewhat humorous to hear Democrats making the same claims about Bill Clinton that Republicans were making 10-15 years ago... :D

Michale.....

He's not acting.

Bravo you took the words out of my mouth he has been a total a x x in this whole situation and i dread when i hear he is to speak some where - i think he looks awful, is not healthy after that bypass surgery and his mind could very well be off because during that surgery you are lacking oxygen for a certain amount of time and leads to brain fog - happened to my mom.

President Clinton is definitely doing NO one any good. The muzzle won't be good enough. He has always liked to muck things up (what does he care), and when he does not get his way, it shows through and through. He needs to go somewhere with Sarah Palin until this is all over.

He has always been about himself and it is more obvious than ever that he cares NOT about Hillary. Poor woman - she does not deserve this. If she is considering a run next time or so, Bill is certainly not helping her cause.

What about his promise to help Obama - remember his public announcement less than 2 weeks ago that he would do whatever it took? Well, all he has done is pansied around and coddled Palin and McCain. And this is helping?

President Clinton should have gone to help the hurricane victims and left Hillary to her causes.

I'm not sure if Bill's actions are intentional or just inept. Either way, he definitely is sending the signal that he doesn't really want Obama to win, and the logical conclusion is that it's because he wants Hillary to get it.

Problem is, he's probably just sabotaging her chances. If Obama wins she can take a shot in 2016. If he loses, his actions will lead some to blame him and HRC for sabotaging it.

And that goes double for PUMAs, with rabid HRC supporters posting online that they're doing everything they can to help McCain win, is that supposed to make people want to support HRC in the future?

To the end of the primary Obama said pleasant things about Bill and Hill, even while they were pushing the knife in his back.
I, too, am surprised at the praise Bill is laying on McBush, and how he tried to explain it on Larry King's show. These guys are so phony. But Bill is a great politican. Maybe he is covering his bets just in case McBush wins. Bill is looking to be world bank president and can't get that if he knocks McBush. These guys are strategists, eyeing several chess moves at a time.

Yes, he has changed, we all change. Some for the better, some for the worse. Hillary would have been an IDEAL vice president. Bill tripped that project, as well as her presidential project on it's face. I personally prefer Barak in the presidential position, but regardless,... I am utterly disgusted with Bubba Bill.

[milo h minderbinder]

"Hillary would have been an IDEAL vice president."

I don't buy that at all. She's way too polarizing, and if she were VP the entire race would be the GOP just showing all the clips of HRC bashing Obama.

I haven't liked the woman since she became a senator, and having her as VP would have severely soured me on the ticket.

Although I would be the LAST one to defend Bill Clinton, there is one possibility that you, amazingly, have overlooked..

He might be right...

Bill Clinton now is like Obama was at the beginning at the General Election. Bi-partisan, putting Country before Party and being positive and friends and "enemies" alike...

I realize that such an attitude doesn't sit will with the militants on the hysterical Left..

But then again, that is the very problem with those on the Left AND the Right...

Too much hate....

Michale.....

I think you are absolutely right. If Obama loses, it will be the second Presidential election the Democrats have lost because of Bill Clinton's recklessness - remember Monica.

[attorney2k]

I have always said that Bill Clinton's behavior is less about Bill Clinton and Obama than it is about Bill Clinton and Hillary, or even more specifially, Bill and Bill.

The more I see Bill campaign, the less inclined I am to ask why Gore, Kerry and even Hillary, initially, didn't have him do "more" for them.

The upside the Clinton is that people love Clinton. The downside to Clinton is that Clinton also loves Clinton.

I undestand that during the primaries when elections returns would come in, Bill would want to know how much better the numbers were in the areas where he campaigned.

I say let's not focus on Bill Clinton...that can only bring us down...kind of. I think many Dems are seeing through him now. I have lots of respect for him, but I don't know what he is doing. He needs to cut the nice guy act and do the Democratic thing. He calls himself a loyal Democrat and goes and talks on and on about how great the folks on the Republican ticket are? Come on man! Where's the Bill Clinton that we all used to know and love?

Pretty strong word in that headline.
But your point is right.
Clinton is making himself smaller and smaller.

Theirs has been a sorry, dysfunctional marriage.
Lucky that Chelsea turned out to be a seemingly decent young woman.
I was just reading a post on the Obama relationship -
and it is really an inspiring one.
If Americans are indeed lucky to have a President Obama in 2008,
I am hopeful that we are going to see a turn towards healthy marriage.
