Bill Clinton To Obama: Kiss My Ass

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Will Democratic disunity fade away or continue through Election Day, November 4th?  

Bill Clinton, the sexiest, angriest President alive, allegedly told one of his advisors that...

Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support.

Whether he said those exact words or not is beside the point. Democrats have got to be worried about Clinton's silence following his wife's opponent's win-- without Clinton's full-fledged support, particularly during the convention, Obama will have an even harder road ahead than he already has. And with Bill Clinton's well-disclosed temper, he's not likely to easily accept defeat, put on a gracious smile, and give 100% to the campaign. 

The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.

To be continued on that... but meanwhile, many voters are still upset with Hillary's loss and have taken to blogs and other sites to attack Obama. We always welcome deserved barbs that sting any politician, but we haven't seen anything out there that sticks-- for example, most remarks we saw were attacking the DNC for the Florida debacle, which made no difference in Obama's eventual victory anyway, not attacks on specific issues or comments Obama has made.  

What is it about Obama that Clinton supporters who have gone to McCain (or are now uncommitted) don't like?

i've heard a couple of people really peeved about his distancing himself from his former pastor's remarks.  they couldn't really explain it to me in a way that made sense to me, but i don't understand most things people say, so i'm not really that surprised.

Obama is hope without any foundation. All candidates try before the Conventions to stay away from specifics and sell an image. But Obama hasn't GOT anything but image - a ridiculously-short track record (since 2004), not a vet, not even involved in government before 4 years ago. This guy had a midlife crisis, he's not a political candidate.
