Bill Clinton: Liability?

catmacdee, why are you just quoting lines without doing any real research to test the validity of your statements. read Hillary's book and you will find that she did praise NAFTA. Explore her alleged quotes from Obama a little closer and you will see that on her flier she cut and pasted without the entire truth to misrepresent Obama. And her mockery of his speeches show her as being a little unstable.

Bill is not the problem....Obama IS!
The Republicans want Obama because they have a plan to tear him down.

"Nonetheless, the "most liberal" charge is likely to be heard early and often should Obama emerge as the Democratic nominee, particularly as it appears at odds with his insistence that he will reach across the aisle and shift the political calculus away from the bitter antagonism of recent years.

"There's a lot of uncertainty about how he would govern and how he would put into practice what we think of as bipartisanship given what we know about his Senate record," said Sarah Binder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an expert on Congress."

I suspect something. Bill did everything to let GORE fail. Now he is doing the same with his own wife - he is cheating her for a second time. Bravo, BILL, your EGO is so big.!!!!

yes, yes and yes. She wants to campaign as if his presidential experience aslo counts as hers. She wants to take at least partial credit for his accomplishments and no association with his failures. All that adds up to a second co-presidency. No way she can be viewed and a straong leader when everyone will be looking for the 'real' answer from the guy sitting next to her.

Short answer: YES!

This is off subject but I want to apologize to my fellow bloggers and thank the moderators here for forcing me to take a deep breath last night. I completely lost my temper which I do not often do and needed to step back. So please accept my apology and thank you moderators.

On subject - yes Bill is a liability many people do not want another Clinton in office. I know I don't. While I am not an Obama supporter I would rather see him get the nomination than Hillary.

Hillary can toss insults about the skies opening when Obama speaks. Still won't get her elected.

She should stick to the issues - if she can't win on those, than it's her own fault.

As for following that link to Drudge, I don't think I can handle that story if it is true. Wish a 'real' paper would investigate it. But then, a 'real' newspaper investigated the McCain Drudge story, and look where that got them...

President Bill Clinton was smart to realise that Obama's "Change" is a "Fairy Tale". I read one of the Al Gore's interview and he said that results for decision taken in the business can be quick than in the Washington. So, if the Media and Obama feels that Bill Clinton is wrong and they are right then they are dreaming.

This is a quote from a bestseller biography written by one of the same reporters who investigated Watergate and co-authored another famous book that was made into a popular movie. You have probably heard him talk about her on tv very recently, and if so know that he is far from always speaking favorably of her. However this passage from his book I think speaks for itself as to her faith: “Aside from her family, Hillary’s Methodism is perhaps the most important foundation of her character. As one of her aides said during the winter’s night of the lewinsky epoch, “Hillary’s faith is the link…It explains the missionary zeal with which she attacks her issues and goes after them, and why she’s done it for thirty years. And, it also explains the really extraordinary self-discipline and focus and ability to rely on her spirituality to get through all this…She’s a woman of tremendous faith. Again, not advertised. She’s not one of those people who’s out there doing the holy roller stuff. But that’s how she gets through it: some people go to shrinks, she does it by being a Methodist.”

I'm just sick of the Clintons. ALL DRAMA...NO SUBSTANCE.

I consider myself to be a Christian, and I strongly resent Hillary's analogy of Obama's campaign to heaven. The skies opening up, the light shinning down, celestial choirs, everything is perfect. Mockery along those lines should be totally off limits.

Americans are capable of making up their own minds. GO AWAY BILL AND TAKE HILLARY WITH YOU!!

Bill needs to "get a life".............does he really believe he is running for his third term?

Wearing an American Flag Lapel pin; holding your hand over your heart during the singing of the National Anthem; neither of these actions can seriously be believed as indicators of a person’s patriotism or lack there of. I think the majority of people would agree to this. Trying to understand when someone say’s they “misspoke”, seems a good idea as well. Is it also fair to say that a former President, who has a history of championing for civil rights, might be sincere when he explained the two statements he made that received much criticism?

Obama is the first presidential candidate to officially declare his/her support for the NAFTA expansion moving through the Congress. His announcement is not necessarily surprising, considering he was the keynote speaker at the launch of the Hamilton Project -- a Wall Street front group working to DRIVE A WEDGE between Democrats and organized LABOR on globalization issues. His announcement comes just days after a Wall Street Journal poll found strong bipartisan opposition to lobbyist-written NAFTA-style trade policies. Clinton and Obama vote for Peru NAFTA
deal

Vote for Barack Obama if you want to, but please do it with your eyes open and with the knowledge that Rupert Murdoch -- possibly the worst corporate media CEO around -- has endorsed Obama and is using all the resources of his media empire to help Obama and destroy Hillary Clinton (one has to wonder what Rupert Murdoch hopes to gain from an Obama presidency and fears from a Clinton presidency). And bear in mind that Obama chose as his senate "mentor" the loathsome Joe Lieberman, whose gleefulness in voting with the Republicans and against the Democrats
made Lieberman (at the time Obama chose him as his mentor) one of the most despised Democrats in the senate.

So, to sum up: When Barack Obama had the chance to vote against NAFTA, he voted, instead, to expand NAFTA.

Bill has done a great job for this country which will forever be in our memory.They are uncountable.Despite all these,Amerians would like to see a new kind of plolicies in WASHINGTON.The world is changing and people are just tired with the BUSHES and CLINTONS old policies.

ONCE AGAIN, JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF OBAMA AND NAFTA...

Today, Sen. Obama said the following:

And yesterday, Senator Clinton also said I’m wrong to point out that she once supported NAFTA. But the fact is, she was saying great things about NAFTA until she started running for President.
This is false. Hillary criticized Sen. Obama for sending out a mailer that claimed she said NAFTA was a "boon to the economy" when she never did. Today, the University of Pennsylvania's FactCheck.org concluded "We do judge that the Obama campaign is wrong to quote Clinton as using words she never uttered, and it has produced little evidence that she ever had strong praise of any sort for NAFTA's economic benefits."

Also, Hillary has been critical of NAFTA long before she started running for President. For example, here's Hillary in March 2000:

What happened to NAFTA I think was we inherited an agreement that we didn’t get everything we should have got out of it in my opinion. I think the NAFTA agreement was flawed. The problem is we have to go back and figure out how we are going to fix that. [Working Families Party, 3/26/00]
Sen. Obama touts his consistent opposition to NAFTA. But speaking in Illinois in 2004 Obama said the United States "benefited enormously" from exports under NAFTA and talked about the need to continue to pursue trade agreement like NAFTA that support "a system of free trade in this nation that allows us to move our products overseas."

Obama is questioned on his patriotism and Michelle is also. Obama says, “well I’ll just tell the truth” and Michelle says, “I just misspoke”.

It’s good to see this works for some people – it sure hasn’t been the case with the Clintons.

TO JIm...

Glad to see your post. Too bad some people won't even bother to look. They are so close minded and only go with the flow, instead of looking up facts. No matter where you go, you will be insulted if you show facts. They won't look. They don't care. They just want a savior, a unifier, a cool president. Very scary! Good luck!

The media hasn't been unfair to Hillary. She and Bill received an 8 year pass from a complicit media when he was president. He replaced all the U.S. Attorneys and had an attorney general who winked at his corruption. An honest press was badly needed. Instead we got partisans. If the press isn't killing negative news, tossing her softballs, and licking her hand, then she feels as if she is being picked on. Yes, Obama has gotten a pass so far. Hillary is in no position to complain.

No rest, no best! Clinton camp is gone, outdated...it is just an 'OLD WINE IN THE NEW BOTTLE' ...new promises from Hillary & Bill are no where to move Americans dreams now...
Obama is the only clear-cut option for American inspiration.

Clintons ARE Caught-up in fire! Cheat people once but teach people always. Clintons (Bill & Hill) have done enough to be in liability side of the americans hope. They try to win at all cost...cheating, recycling of words and even promises have never worked for their side. They are just " New bottles but the same old wine!!"
