Bill Clinton: Obama 'Literally Not Part of Any of the Good Things' From the 1990s

It would be naive to imagine that voters who looked at the Clinton years as prosperity and unity years would not want a return to that prospect. It may not be former President Clinton's personality that drives the entire Clinton machine as a shadow influence but the sense of security felt then that is absent now, and that many feel is impossible to attain through an Obama win simply for the factor of race which has always been devisive in America. Without a truly solid race-blind win, the likelihood of Obama delivering a term of peace and prosperity seem slim. That no President elected may be able to produce that outcome is a real possibility, and that may be the fear and uncertainty that increases the division within the party, and helps to polarize it toward one or the other. What Bill or Hillary or Obama want may be irrelevant to voters who prefer a fighter in the White House for their interests rather than against them as they perceive they have had in George W. Bush. That is the change they want, and the prospects that Hillary can deliver it before Obama can deliver must be considered high simply because her husband delivered it.

Is having an affair with Monica Lewinsky one of those "good things from the 1990s" that Bill is speaking of??? What a hypocrite, both he and his wife need to learn a lesson in humility.

Before Hillary makes any more speeches, will someone please tell her that bobbleheads are out?! These are just collector's items from that past...just ask Bill.

Obama '08

I was able to go graduate school and get a good paying job in mid-90's. I can't imagine how bad economy has been gone and how high health care insurance rate is. we are four with one girl and boy; even with 6 figure income we can't balance our check due to cost of health care and uncertainty of job.

I don't pray to God very often but since Hillary is running for president; i pray every day that she is our next president.

I checked Voting record and work history of Edward, Obama and Hillary, I found Hillary's resume most appealing. American will have to pay big price if Hillary is not the nominee from democratic party.

If you have not voted vote Hillary!

It is amazing to see how determined some people are - Americans, yet - to bring race and gender into this election. It is amazing because most Americans are - male and female - mutts - that is, people that are of mixed heritage and ethnic backgrounds.

Instead of posting only certain sentences from Mr. Obama's book that don't explain what he was really trying to say - why don't you 'research' the scientific term - 'melatonin'? Melatonin is the chemical that makes different people's skin - different colors. It makes white, olive, and yes, darker - skin color - and the amount of melatonin a person has - is determined by their DNA - before they are born.

In his book, Mr. Obama said that as a very young child, he lived in many different places, but he ended up being raised in Kansas by his mother and his grandparents. He's as 'American' as any other American - and he apparently struggled with the question of 'who am I'- in the same way that every young woman and man - is expected to do at a certain age.

Whites in America - are responsible for treating people with different skin colors as 'lesser' individuals and - African-Americans have been killed at the hands of white men in this country. Has the country changed - or not? And should one speak out about the backward thinking involved in racism in America - or remain silent? Racists - represent the worst that American has to offer - to ourselves - to our sons and daughters - and to the world.

In America - we are all equal - and if you are biased against someone because of their race, heritage, or gender - maybe you should ask yourself - 'why'? 'Why would I believe that someone is 'less' than me - because of their color, gender, or heritage?' Did someone teach you to think that way and if they did - were they right? I wish you the best of luck in figuring out - that Mr. Obama's color - has nothing to do with his message - a message that invites everyone - to work together - to better the state of our nation.

As best I can tell, Mr. Obama is about change and trying to move the country forward. Any one who is still seeing color or gender in America today - doesn't truly understand the meaning of the word - equal.

Racists - don't speak for me - and they shouldn't be permitted to speak for America - either. You have the right to have your opinion - but you should also expect to hear from those of us - who do not - agree with you.

I just want to make two things clear.
One>>> If ms.Clinton get the nod there will be another Republican in the White House in 2009 They will tear her apart with all the dirty laundry she carries with her.
Second how she can win????Step aside>>>>>>simple answer.

You know, it's time to come together as a country an allow people of other ethnic cultures to run this country as well. Just ask yourself, would you be this way if the canidate was hispanic, jewish,chinese american, japanese american, korean american. Are people still sleeping? This is 2008., get over it already. The United States of America is now a mixing bowl of all nationalities and it is something we're gonna have to get use to. All of our youth seem to be more mature then senior peers. It's sickening. What is so sad is that our children today are dating others children of different nationality simply because they love each other and our future is just that. So come off the racial divide because it is not just offensive to the people of race it is a slap in the face to our youth who could care less about race. Believe me just because you have some years on you and you may be over 50-60 does not mean that you are more intelligent or experienced then someone in there 40's. So i'm gonna disagree with the earlier comment that's it is offensive to have someone in their 40's run for President. Anyone can be what ever they want to be, they just have to inspire to there desire. If you ask me with the amount of parents out there that don't know how to do their own childs Algebra, geometry, or trig, please don't talk about experience. most parent's are so busy working to keep this country afloat that they don't even have the time to parent, only to become a friend to their child instead of a parent and then get ran over by there kids, please wake up people who has time to ponder racial issues. I BELIEVE IN OBAMA ANDI COMMEND EVERYONE WHO AGREES THAT THE TIME FOR CHANGE HAS COME.

It is always about you, Bill. What position did Ms. Hillary Clinton hold in your administration? Secretary of State, Defense Sec., Sec. of Finance? What? Explain.

What I remember about the 1990s is spending about $80 million of taxpayers’ money to define the word ‘is’ or “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski”; all the while knowing you were lying. I also remember the infamous blue dress, Paula Jones and the other women.

Many Americans wish to forget those, Mr. President.

What I love about America the most is Freedom of Speech and of our own opinion.
As you know There is always a lot of bashing between the candidates.& realizing that if Hillary were a man she would be commended on her strategy for her campaign. I too was mesmerized at first with The new candidate & his speeches. Then I did some research. So after all of that. And listening to the Ads. I will leave you with a few links to go to and let you form your own opinion. And then I want you to let the people of your town and your state where the primary is going to be held what you know. One of the web sights has over 250,000 people who have made statements. I have personal quotes. & a weblink where you can here what his minister from his church has to say on Sundays. Knowing that we do not have much time, I think the American people have the right to know before the other party embarrasses him.. Which they will and are starting to. Thank you for your time.
S.L.M.in PR,Ca.
A middle working class with 2 jobs working to pay that bad sub-prime mortgage putting her kids through college. I think the American people need to read the fine print before they vote...

Make sure you listen to all of this
--------------------------------------
HERE ARE SOME DIRECT QUOTES FROM BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...

From Dreams of My Father, " I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE". (Barack Hussein Obama)

From 'Dreams of my Father', "The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." (Barack Hussein Obama)

From Dreams Of My Father: "That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, BLAMING "WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives." (Barack Hussein Obama )

----------------------------------------

Dee, let me ask you this - why would Barack Obama associate himself with the likes of Tony Rezko? They had a nice little real estate partnership and Tony's probably going to be spending seveal years in federal prison for all kind of improprieties. This story briefly popped up in a debate when Hillary called him on it, but of course the main stream media quickly came to Obama's aide and choose to ignore the story. It will come back to haunt him in the general election, the Republicans will make sure of that. If Rezko opens his mouth and talks then it will the beginning of the end for Obama.

One of the things that surprises me most about the comments from Clinton supporters is, “They can’t understand why this guy (Obama) is still in the race?” The Clintonites have been touted as having a well oiled machine. Well Obama maybe running his first presidential campaign and is doing quite well. Seems as though the Democratic Party has a dilemma on their hands. The party is split down [old democrats] and [young democrats]. The party was so heavily invested in the’ Hispanic’ voters they overlooked the ‘white’ male. White males voted for Obama. The Clintonites dissed African Americans and then tried to make amends with the [Bill Clinton] road show in black churches. Black America was neither amused nor hesitant about breaking ranks with the Clintons. The damage caused by Bill Clinton was too much to overcome in the final days. The Hispanic vote only carried Hillary in California. Can Hispanics carry Hillary nationwide without the black vote? I don’t think they can and they know this. As the campaign moves on to the remaining states, the Clintonites have serious problems. Those of you claim that some blacks voted for Hillary. Yes! That’s true, but those were ‘older’ African Americans. The Clintonites were so focused on Hispanics they forgot about ‘White’ males. It’s a battle of the sexes, races, younger and older. Obama has managed to withstand some brutal attacks from the Clintonites and stood his ground. He surrounded himself with some amazing staffers and strategists, with a forward thinking approach to resolving problems of a new America. This is a ‘sure’ indicator of what type of administration he would have. Way to go Obama, keep it cooking!

[Ken] let me give you a little backstory on the Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Anngeles. Last year he was found to have been involved in a very public scandal with a television reporter that was covering him. He had an affair with her outside of his marriage. So I say again to Clintonites, why would you let a man like him speak for Hillary knowing the history of her husbands trouble with infidelity? Why would you surround her with someone like that speaking on her behalf? He cheated on his wife. Villaraigosa has sat on the sidelines as Los Angeles has dissolved into a race war among blacks and latinos. He strongly favors illegal immigration which is a sore spot for African Americans. Another sign of poor judgment on the Clinton team having him as a spoken for her.

What does a president do?

Is it not to sign document and travel?

Is it not an office job? Why can't a

half black half white man do it for

atlest four years for God sick.

I will vote for Obama.

I was a republican. Voted for Reagan, Bush I and Bush II (first round).

Please..

Can someone please let me know what a LIBERAL IS?

IS THIS A PERSON THAT IS GREEN?

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THESE LIBERALS AT FIRST SITE.

AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY THINK ON ALL MATTERS.

PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME.

I AM AN AMERICAN.

It fascintes me how narrowminded and ignorant we Americans can be. Here we have a bunch of kids clamoring for "change"; kids with no responsibilities whatsoever except to apparently get up very early, search the web for provocative headlines and blog accordingly. The fact is anybody under the age of 30 was in no way involved with politics during any of the Bush I or Clinton years and as such have no frame of reference for wnating to change anything. As for the Bush II years, practically the same applies: if you are 21 now, how old were you in 2000? So what is this change you scream for? All the talk about Obama not voting for the war is convenient for him since he wasn't in Congress at the time. Anyone else who remembers Sept 11 and the atmosphere coming from Washington at the time knows that going against the war was almost like being called a communist in the 1950s -- not to mention the fact that Bush's approval ratings were in the 90s, which means that YOU -- Americans -- voted for the war too!!! Who among you had the guts to protest it at the time? Like a lot of us (and Hilary) you bought Colin Powell's story, and Rummy's and Cheney's and Rice's and Georgie's. So stop being a hypocrite now. Such loyal Democrats all of you: "If Hilary wins the nomination, I'm voting for McCain." Waah, waah, waah. "I just can't stand the way she's run her campaign." Waah, waah, waah. Here's a question for all you (white) Obama supporters: why is it you get so upset whenever Obama and Jesse Jackson's name are mentioned in the same sentence? Is it because you don't consider Obama black? Why does it upset Obama so much? Why does it upset Tiger Woods so much? Here's what I think of all you so-called liberals: If Obama came out tomorrow proclaiming black pride, you'd drop him like a hot potato. Bunch of phonies. Oh, one more thing: the Monica thing happened before Bill was elected a second time, so nobody cared then and don't now. Maybe those of you whose parents aren't already divorced should check and see how many of your moms and dads are cheaters.

Two mayors, Mayor Doug Wilder (black) from Richmond, Virginia and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (hispanic) from Los Angeles, were on "Face the Nation" this morning. What took place was a realistic picture of what is actually going on in the Democratic primary.

Both mayors were asked about various aspects of how the Democratic candidate would be chosen such as popular vote versus delegate vote versus super delegate vote and so on. Each was also asked about various aspects of the Clinton and Obama campaigns.

Initially, Mayor Wilder embarked on a rant about Bill Clinton speaking for all blacks. As evidenced by word and gesture, Wilder went on an unprovoked, racist, "anti-Clinton" dialogue

In distinct contrast, Mayor Villagairosa spoke calmly and professionally as he explained his view of the importance of looking forward and not laboring over minority division--perceived or otherwise. Villagairosa also gave examples and elaborated on national hispanic political participation and how color was not a key in most processes.

Mayor Wilder then proceeded to use the news show as an opportunity to plug Obama and to slam and minimize Hillary Clinton. In contrast, Mayor Villagairosa chose to positively support Clinton without detracting from Obama.

Then, Mayor Wilder went on to threaten that choosing a Presidential nominee other than Obama at the Democratic Convention would produce riots and civil chaos similar to that of the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.

After this, Wilder proceeded to downgrade and misrepresent Hillary Clinton's work on national health care. Mayor Wilder even suggested that Hillary intentionally ignored national health care as a Senator from New York.

Mayor Villagairosa politely disagreed and briefly presented the record of Hillary Clinton's work on national health care. However, Villagairosa did not even once have to down grade Obama's record to do so.

Villagairosa's demeanor contrasted to the racial threats of Wilder present a vivid and realistic picture of the choice Democrats must consider. And, the contrast of the two positions present some relevant questions.

Will the Democratic party be one where free speech is controlled by black censors who cry "racism" whenever a person of a different race dares to compare or critize?

Will the Democratic nomination process be threatened by specters of violence from thirty years ago unless the "golden child" of one minority is coronated?

And, will the media, when confronted by the threats of people like Mayor Wilder, begin to show something less than the mindless rhetoric of fear and intimidation?

Neither of these candidates were my initial choice, but after this morning I can definitely say:

NOBAMA, NO WAY, NO HOW!!!!!

To Jim:

You are missing the point; think outside of your own personal needle point thinking.
My comments were of "Shut Up" is an Irony. The Clinton campaign is saying just as you have that Obama is making empty promises.

The facts are the facts: Obama is telling us what will change this country.
Also I just watch the speech by Obama where he addresses the attack by Hillary on his message to true Americans of this country. The one item he speaks of is the comment by Hillary that Words do not matter.
I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominated candidate.

The 90's Bill?? Oh you mean Monica Lewinsky. Yeah we remember. The good old days huh!

You got to love liberal bloggers like Edward Strange who tell Clinton supports to "shut up". Isn't it ironic how the far left in this country is all for diversity of opinion and ideas as long as those opinions and ideas agree with theirs?

Edward (and the entire left wing of the party for that matter) is like a little child holding his hands over his ears and shaking his head in a fit of rage anytime some one says something they don't like about their candidate. Instead of welcoming debate and offering intelligent commentary, they tell their detractors to "SHUT UP". Well Edward, as a Hillary supporter myself, I encourage you to voice your opinions and let people make up their own minds based on the arguments of both sides. Another word of advice - stop being a baby.
