[thewiseguy]

My reaction is WTF? :wtf:

1. Oh man...

I sense a shitstorm.

[GarbagemanLB]

2. If this is true....

I hate Bill Clinton.

[Alhena]

3. Apparently he's annoyed by whatever goodwill remains for him in the party

and wants to eliminate it entirely.

[Motown_Johnny]

If so, then this is defiantly the right move

[BeyondGeography]

4. Whatever

[BeyondGeography]

5. dupe

[apnu]

6. Its bullshit. Don't fall for it.

Yet another rumor mongering "source close to Clinton said" crap. Who's this source? Carville?

[writes3000]

7. Whatever, whatever. nt

[my2sense]

8. Surely he won't show his arse like this

Hopefully the M$M has it wrong.

[melody]

9. He wants the full attention to be on Obama n/t

[TTUBatfan2008]

10. First black President eh?

Right...bitter asshole. And I do not regret saying those two words one bit. Bill Clinton is a bitter asshole. Fuck him.

[spanone]

11. who cares?

[jillan]

12. Why would he do that?

Is this really how he wants to be remembered :(

It really saddens me. He was my favorite President :(

[pnwmom]

13. A. This might not be true. B. Maybe Obama would rather he not be there,

since Clinton tends to suck the air out of a room.

[ContinentalOp]

14. Damn, I was hoping he could provide some good commentary.

I'm sooo interested in what he thinks of Obama. :eyes: I was hoping to get more of his deep insights on race.

[sfam]

15. Whether this was ever true before, it won't be true now. CNN has made sure of that...

I don't think I buy this, but had there been any validity to this story, its gone now. Bill Clinton will most assuredly attend now, even if he wasn't planning on it previously.

[NoodleyAppendage]

16. Moral of the Story: Don't piss off a SOCIOPATH!

How DARE Obama (or any other Dem politican) try to be more popular than Clinton! Who does he think he is? Doesn't Obama know that the ONLY PERSON CLINTON CARES ABOUT IS CLINTON?

The Clintons SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. Dissapointing.

[undeterred]

18. He needs to put on the Big Boy Underpants

and Hillary can put on the Big Girl Panties and they can pretend to be grownups. They may not get invited next time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I hope this isn't true.

But if it is, Bill will have proved himself once and for all to be a hopeless narcissist, not to mention a spoiled baby. He can go screw himself, sideways.

I am now considering putting my copy of his autobiography in the bathroom -- and not to read.

[NYC_SKP]

20. I'm still taking bets on it....he's not staying beyond his moment.

He's not that way.

If I'm wrong, I'll eat a bug.

I ate a bug last week, so I hope this time I'm not wrong.

:hi:

[charlyvi]

21. I'm not buying it.

CNN has been trying to milk this so called feud between Obama/Clinton for weeks. This is just another episode.

[maseman]

22. No way

If I were Obama I would have asked him not to be there. You do NOT want the cameras focused on him half the time. Will Jimmy Carter be there? If not it is the same if Bill Clinton is not going to attend.

[monomach]

23. What a douchebag.

He's dead to me. Dead.

I hope he's kicked out of the fucking party.

[biscotti]

24. consider that is coming from CNN

John King said he had inside information that Teddy Kennedy would not be appearing in person......so much for what cnn says.
