A couple of simple questions about Bill Clinton:

[cliffordu]

Do you REALLY want Bill Clinton back in the White House for another 4 years??

Do you REALLY see him staying away from trying to influence policy??

Tea in the Rose Garden with Nicolas Sarkozy's wife??? How's that going to play??

I'm just sayin'


Edited subject line.....

[Kool Kitty]

1. Please, not this shit again.

I'm begging you. On edit: I'm talking about the Sarkozy's wife bit.

[cliffordu]

5. If they get photographed together it'll play for YEARS.

bank on it.


Sick, but true

[Kool Kitty]

7. So?

What would be the benefit of that?

[cliffordu]

12. He's a sex addict. One 'slip' and her entire administration

becomes a pathetic joke in this uptight hypocritical country of ours.

[Taxmyth]

2. Damn fine Advisor to have around

especially that close by.

[grasswire]

3. peace and prosperity

Could we have that again?

[cliffordu]

4. Not if she bombs the shit out of Iran......

And by the way, that prosperity?? MOST of that was the dot-com boom. Look it up.

Between the dot com bubble going south and NAFTA doing the damage during Bushie's admin, I dunno if all that peace and prosperity is a truth or not.

10. Right-wing talking point, about the dot.com bubble.

Yes, I would love to have Bill Clinton around for another four years. It would be much better than Cindy McCain.

[cliffordu]

11. Not for those of us who worked as software programmers

That would be computer nerds to you.

[murielm99]

15. Oh, be still my heart!

An Obama elitist is talking down to me.

[cliffordu]

16. Yep - elitist!!

High school drop out after death of my father, so I could support my mother.

Vietnam veteran - school on the GI bill

Studied and learned computers in my spare time

Took time to read real articles about the difference between Obama and Hillary. Became elitist.

[nebula]

34. Amen!

a vote for Hillary or McCrazy is a vote for war with Iran.

[mcctatas]

6. I wouldn't mind having Bill around...

maybe he can be Obama's chief of staff?

[nebula]

8. Keep him away from the interns

....and Sarkozy's wife.

[BlueIdaho]

9. Sadly

My opinion of Bill Clinton has hit rock bottom. I don't want him anywhere near the WH again.

[Sensitivity]

13. THIS IS CRAP

[cliffordu]

14. I'm sorry you feel that way.

But I still want to know why you don't think this could impact Hillary's Administration??

[nebula]

17. You're right

There would be 24 hour media attention focused on First Man Bill Clinton, who would attract far more media attention than President Hillary.

It would be like the 90s all over again, 24-hour tabloid TV that is, distracting us from real pressing issues.

NOTHING would get done.

[murielm99]

18. So you plan to vote for her when she becomes the nominee?

If not, how soon are you planning to leave DU?

[cliffordu]

20. neener neener neener!!!!I asked you first!!

Just the other night!

Sorry your candidate is a loser.


:nopity:

[nebula]

24. She isn't my first choice

but I never said I wouldn't vote for her if she were the nominee.

But the way she has embraced the media's tabloid style coverage of the elections gives us a clue of what to expect a HRC presidency would be like.

[AtomicKitten]

19. This campaign has reminded me I've seen more than enough Clinton drama.

No thanks.

[SoCalDem]

22. What bothers me the most is that whomever gets picked as VP..won't be.

If that person chose to run after she was done, their credentials would would be suspect..because it's hard for me to think that BC could "stay-out-of it"..

Even HRC's "decisions" would be immediately compared to things that BC said in the past or at the very least he would be asked, ad finitum..."Is this a good idea, did she consult you..what do YOU think"..

She's a PROXY.. a stand-in for HIM..and we all know it..

[AtomicKitten]

28. Her campaign has been a trainwreck .

Really stunning on a number of levels. I agree with this resembling a proxy run, and it's bittersweet to see both the Clintons exposed in this embarrassing drama.

At the same time I am convinced due to a constellation of factors that Barack Obama is precisely the candidate for this moment in history.

So, all's well that ends well ... for America.

[Catherina]

27. Same here. I don't ever want that drama again

These primaries remind me of how bad it was with their drama for 8 years. No more!

[AtomicKitten]

29. The blowback may be fatal in Pennsylvania.

fingers crossed ;)

[Catherina]

33. Tight. Very tightly.

I think they went too far too and people will push back. ;)

[Raine]

32. Yeah me too

I can't take 8 more years of continual scandals and alienating friends and relatives while I try to defend the indefensible. :-(

[Erin Elizabeth]

21. I've wondered about that a lot.

I mean, my husband and I are from a younger generation than the Clintons and even we would find it incredibly awkward if I had the job he once had AND it was the most powerful job in the world and he was supposed to now take a backseat and like, host state dinners and do interviews with morning television about the Christmas decorations and shit.

I just can't see him being a first laddie. And as much as I liked him as a president, the presidency's not a buy one get one free sale.

[murielm99]

23. Why not?

I see nothing wrong with him advising her.

[cliffordu]

26. Bill Clinton has never taken a back seat to anyone in his life,

and he ain't about to start.

What kind of deep seated contempt did he have to have to "not have sex with that woman" in the white house while his WIFE was in the other room?

Do you think that contempt still exists??

[murielm99]

30. A psychoanalyst AND and elitist.

There is no end to your talents.

[cliffordu]

31. That's right.

Thanks!!

25. Sorry, whoever posted to me, I can't see what you said.

And there's quite a few on my list, so I can't just unignore to read it.
