I'm donning my flame suit for this one, but, seriously, does anyone really want Bill back in the WH?

[ORDem]

I liked the guy when he was Prez, but, shit, HRC's schedule dump shows how many times she was actually in the WH the same time he was getting blown by Lewinsky over the course of a couple of years. Holy Mackerel.

:dem:

[XemaSab]

1. No shit.

n/t

[Cha]

2. bil's a hasbeen pol hack and needs to get

to the elder statesman role he played so well.

[FARAFIELD]

3. I wouldnt mind HIM in the white house

If he was prez, she sucks. Shes making it hard to want to vote for her should she be the nominee on the 1/110th of a chance.

[jgraz]

4. I'd rather have Bill back there than Hilary

But honestly, I don't really want either one of them anywhere near the reins of power.

[kikiek]

5. Easy to tell when Obama's in big trouble. RW talking points about the Clintons emerge.

[emilyg]

6. Yep.

[ORDem]

9. Talking points? I just posted a link to an article. It surprised me that

there had been so many encounters. I don't listen to RW media, but maybe I got infected somehow by my own sense of basic morality. :eyes:

[kikiek]

13. Yeah your morals are showing. They're lame.

[Cha]

21. Coming from a hilary who is a big time Loser.

that's a badge of honor.

[kikiek]

26. Coming from a Hilary? Makes no sense. Nothing new from you.

[BeatleBoot]

24. ......

[kikiek]

31. Yeah no kidding.

So who is it dividing the democrats? Obama. No wonder he is losing support.

[Liquorice]

52. Isn't that the truth? And it's very disappointing! nt

[Hepburn]

34. Lame???

Ummmmmm.....thinking that being faithful is LAME????

WTF gives with that? :shrug:

[kikiek]

36. Yeah lame. Bringing up RW talking points is lame.

[Hepburn]

41. Being faithful is an RW talking point!?!?!?!?

LMBO......:rofl:

I am totally liberal to the point of probably being a Socialist and I am an atheist and I believe that it is necessary in a committed relationship to be faithful.

So when did being faithful to one's life partner become an RW talking point? So...in order to again be a Dem and be considered liberal, I need to start cheating on my mate? Bummer...I am not seeing anyone at this time ~~ so I guess I have to get on one of those Senior Citizen romantic match sites and find someone to cheat on...or I am living an RW talking point! Welp, I guess I better get off here and start trolling for some guy who is at least breathing...at my age, that is about the only consideration any more!

BTW: You thinking process is fucked up to the max!

[kikiek]

43. Only in your mind you are.

[Divernan]

64. That was my criteria for putting whomever you're responding to on ignore.

[KC]

40. Yep

That's exactly what it is.


KC

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Is that all you Obamabots care about?

Who's blowing Bill Clinton?

[mtnsnake]

8. There isn't a person here who wouldn't want Bill back in the WH, as well as in their own house

Admit it

[thunder rising]

17. scrubbing floors? OK

[goclark]

20. I don't want him anywhere near my house nt

[cui bono]

38. Where did you get that idea???

Heard of NAFTA? Deregulation? I don't want him back and i could care less if he were in my house unless he's got a contractor's license and will work for food.

[XemaSab]

42. I already lived in a building with a guy who would come grab you when you were asleep.

I'm pretty much over it now. :shrug:

[mtnsnake]

45. He wouldn't by any chance be the past or present Governor of NYS would he?

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

47. Nah.

He was just a garden variety prevert. :P

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

46. nope, not now that he has shown his utter selfishness

and willingness to destroy the democratic party for his ego.

[democrattotheend]

10. I have to say, you're right

Remembering all the scandals kind of makes me nauseous. I think I'd be more psyched about a Hillary presidency if Bill did not come with her.

[kikiek]

22. Funny. It appears Obama's own scandals are just starting. Get your barf bag out.

[JerseygirlCT]

11. You know, it was pretty easy to be sentimental about it all

before say, SC.

That reminded me of all the things I didn't much care for then. I don't think he's changed. He's still brilliant but terribly flawed. And I don't think he'd be able to keep his hands out - the only question is how tough she'd be willing to be post election about keeping him out of the driver's seat.

No, I'd rather remember the good old days with a little mist around them, you know? I don't really want to relive them now. Now is a very different time than then.

[undeterred]

12. There's been too much of him in her campaign.

I like him too, but I really think his presence has overwhelmed her. People come out to see him whether she is there or not. Then you realize that if she is elected, we are absolutely going to get both of them- because if she keeps counting her years in the WH as experience, then there is no way in hell he is going to be picking out china and drapes if he gets back in there. So his presence has made the campaign about the past and not the future. I like him, but I don't want him to be in the WH again.

[Kittycat]

14. I'm not going to comment on what he should or shouldn't have been doing, but...

This one takes some balls. Where was the SS, staff, etc? In the HALLWAY :rofl:

_Jan. 21, 1996: The first lady had no public schedule, but she and the president privately toured an exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. Lewinsky and the president had an afternoon sexual encounter in the hallway by the private study next to the Oval Office, Lewinsky said later.

[DB1]

15. O.K. with me. Just as long as he isn't allowed to share the bathroom.

[tridim]

16. I want Michelle Obama in the WH

Bill was a decent pres, but he wouldn't make a good first-spouse.

[annie1]

18. i love hil and i'd prefer to see Bill C not back in the whitehouse. :(

[FrenchieCat]

19. Hell Naw! Enough Already!

I'm not defending that shit anymore!

[Medusa]

23. I loved Bill Clinton

but not any longer. And no, I don't want them back in the WH. No hereditary monarchies for the United States.

[Straight Shooter]

28. Hereditary? They aren't related by blood. That would be Chelsea. n/t

[Straight Shooter]

25. Well, at least Bill has always been proud of this country.

And, seriously, you think he's bringing Monica with him or something? Was that the story on Rush Limberger-Head today?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. All This Monica Blowjob Bullshit Today. How Fucking Immature And RW'ish This Place Can Fucking Be

sometimes.

Seriously... It's like freeperville of years past.

Have some of you learned nothing these past years? We're sitting here obsessing over monica blowing bill again? For real? Here? You can't do better than that?

So fucking stupid this place can be sometimes. Some of you seriously need to grow the fuck up. And don't tell me about "oh but it's in the media" blah blah blah. The msm is a fucking joke and always has been. All of a sudden all of you are sitting there with your mouths wide open begging them "feed me more! feed me more! I love you msm!!!". Sometimes it makes my skin crawl to read some of the shit here.

[surfermaw]

29. Yes Yes Yes, if it keeps a republican out ,he is considered to be one of the top 5 best Presidents

Don't take out on Bill because his wife is running that is stupid. he stoped a recession in his first months , he inherited 17 trillion dollars of debt from the Bush and yes Reagan, he almost broke us with the cold war, as Bush Jr. is doing with a real war, So again yes, if it keeps a republican out... Bill Clintons health is bad, the republican party mostly the Bush,s
almost killed Clinton, they stayed on him from the first day until the last day he was in office, partly because they knew Hillary was preparing to run and they wanted to stop the Clintons...

[cali]

69. He sure the hell is not considereed one of the top 5 presidents

not even close. Presidential historians and others place him in the middle of the pack in every list.

[RBInMaine]

30. The Clintons would be the ones to get the flamethrower in the GE.

This is the issue in this election. Do we want to revert to the past and GAMBLE BIGTIME on the POLARIZING Clintons whose nomination would cause the R's to dance in the streets, or do we want a NEW leader with a new vision and new kind of politics? This is a no-brainer. If we go with Clinton redux, the R's will laugh all the way to the November voting booth, and we may well have just committed political suicide AGAIN.

[Raine]

32. Once I would've but remembering the constant

scandals I don't want any Clinton back in the Whitehouse.

[JVS]

33. Could it be that the Monica thing was known to her?

[Divernan]

66. Perhaps not Monica, per se, but HRC enabled his sexual addiction throughout their marriage

She was the beard who enabled him to campaign as though they had a monogamous marriage.

[surfermaw]

35. And such posting has hurt Obama,His voters his worst enemies

[billbuckhead]

39. The Clinton era was the best ever for middleclass and poor America

Just a fact!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. so you have no idea of the floor plans of the Wh nor just how big it is and how it's run.

just saying you should visit it sometime.

[Justyce]

44. I do. nt

[QC]

48. Used to be you had to go to Free Republic to get this shit.

Now you can get it right here! Progress!

[soothsayer]

50. amen! gawd. just stoopid remarks passing for commentary

[Arugula Latte]

49. You know, my overwhelming feeling is that I'm just done with the Clintons.

Done, done, done.

Back to 90s history with you, Bill and Hill.

[elixir]

51. Great post. Absolutely, the man saved our economy. Thanks for reminding me how great he is.

[zulchzulu]

53. I did grassroots work for Bill in 1992 and felt betrayed by 1996

The release of Hillary Clinton's First Lady schedule just reminds many of those times...the good, the bad and the ugly. Of course, the ugly will come out first.

[peruviancharm]

54. Bill Clinton was a very good president

I think he would do more good than harm. By far.

[theredpen]

55. As an Obama supporter, I ask that this line of discussion be put out of out collective misery

Thank you.

[LulaMay]

56. Frankly, I think he'll be spending a lot of time in Harlem still, or in the other wing.

She'll be in charge.

[BigBearJohn]

57. I. for one, LOVE the idea of having Bill back in the White House

So, go ahead, shoot away. I love Bill.

[jasmine621]

58. Yes!

[bilgewaterbill]

59. No Freaking Way!! We just won back Congress. Why lose it again?

[question everything]

60. You will be surprised to learn that many men have voted for Clinton

in primaries because they want Bill back in the White House.

When will DUers realize that Clinton was the first Democratic president to be re-elected since FDR?

That he left office with the highest approval rating of any president before him (and, no doubt, the one that followed him)?

That he took a major deficit, larger than all previous years combined and replaced it with a surplus?

That even with a Republican Congress under a petty directions from Newt, the 90s were an economic expansion that helped people at all income level?

I understand Republicans hanging on the Monica affair as the only marker of his presidency, but Democrats?

JFK is very much admired on these pages. After all, the Obama supporters compare them. Yet, JFK's affairs, yes, in the White House, were notorious, and dangerous, "sharing" a mistress with a mob boss.

[Justyce]

75. Thank you! A lot of people on this site

seem to have forgotten how popular he was/is and also don't recognize how the rest of the country sees things.

[paulk]

61. pretty shallow reason for making a decision like that

don't you think?

you do "think" don't you?


or are you really as stupid as the garbage you post on this site would lead one to believe?

[girl_interrupted]

63. Bill Clinton, the only dem 2 term prez since Truman..

Yeah! I Want Him Back! Especially his economy! He can bring the bimbos with him too! Bush has no bimbos, well ok...maybe jeff gannon. But he doesn't have anything to brag about, he's turned everything to shit and I am so tired of holding my breath everytime he opens his dumb mouth and makes an ass of himself. Clinton, intelligent, charismatic, accomplished, 23 million new jobs, surpluses, cheap gas, cheap student loans. A president that was loved everywhere he went in the world, the only democrat to be a 2 term president since Truman....that's a very long time ago (1945-1953) Think about it.. no Democrat has been able to do that SINCE. He survived the republican assault and left with higher approval ratings than Reagan. Bet Nixon and his VP would have loved to say that...they were out the door and down the street by popular demand.

On a personal note, I really don't believe either Clinton or Gore would have ignored Richard Clarke warnings. He was appointed in their administration and completely ignored by bush and his incompetent crew. I remember the "Wag the Dog" republicans when Clinton wanted to go after bin laden. Hope the bastards are ridden with guilt now.

As for his infidelities.....I live in NY State, we lived through Rudy and no one really gave a damn who he slept with. We just lost Spitzer and while we were all excited about having the 1st Blind, Black governor...turns out both he and his wife have been sleeping around..and so it goes. Hopefully it doesnt go too far...since we no longer have a Lt Governor, next in line is the senate majority leader...a republican. This after years of Pataki. So I'm hoping people in NY will look past his affairs, give him and his wife credited for going thru a rough patch and keeping their marriage together. We have a budget crisis here and thats more important than anyones sex life.

[PetraPooh]

62. not without a titanium chastity belt, we don't

[metalluk]

65. Yes,

but only as "First-Stud." I bet Monica wants him back there, too, and will be applying for a job as his special assistant.

[Pringles]

67. Absolutely.

[bhikkhu]

68. I have thought about this one...and No

Not that I don't respect Bill, but the times are different. Sometimes experience is a detriment, as far as providing a dated and fixed frame of reference that is no longer flexible or even useful.

I think the economy is the biggest issue, and the biggest economic issue is our military position. Obama has the best possibility of handling it. I think both Hillary and Bill would favor the 80's status quo positioning that they see as normal - essentially an "empire". It is no longer the case, and a new paradigm is essential.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

70. Very definitely.... who doesn't besides a few spoil-sports and the r-wingers

n/t

[better tomorrow]

71. He doesn't look very good these days....

will we have to pay for another coronary bypass for him and his hamburgers if she gets in?

[Daphne08]

72. No. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

73. When did so-called liberals

become so obsessed with Bill's cock? it used to be a right-wing affliction.

[Baby Snooks]

74. They had a "closed" marriage...

Some have "open" marriages. They had a "closed" marriage as in she didn't care and still doesn't. When you look back at that infamous 60 Minutes interview, she made it perfectly clear that what Bill did was Bill's business. She didn't care. So why should anyone else?

His presidency wasn't so hot. Looking closely, it merely continued the Bush presidency in many ways which probably explains all those photos of the two of them together. Always smiling. Bill Clinton just kept the seat warm for the Bush to follow so to speak. And now Hillary Clinton wants to keep the seat warm. And why not? As Bill Clinton found out, being a seat warmer pays extremely well. So far, at least by estimates, it's paid at least $50 million. Not a bad deal considering they were in debt eight years ago. So in another eight years, they may double their money. It's all about the money, honey, with those two.

[Perry Logan]

76. That flamesuit makes you look fat. The answer to your query is yes.

[catgirl]

77. Absolutely not

His baggage is Hillary's baggage (not that she doesn't enough already). And the
way he's been acting during this whole election makes me wonder about his
mental health.

[Dinger]

78. TO Me, And Many Other, It Would Be Camelot Part II

And yes, I'd LOVE to see him back in the White House!:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :applause:

[olkaz]

79. No. Do. Not. Want.

We cannot trust him. He crapped all over us with the Lewinski thing. And that was while he was freaking president!

God knows what he'll do now to embarrass us, all while working toward centrist instead of progressive causes.
