1. oh that sucked

:D

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. I am too outraged by what I imagine it to be to even watch it

[gateley]

2. I'll just cut and paste my disparaging posts that I wrote when reading clips

of the interview. I'm sure I'll still be right.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

4. LOL. Gately, there's a reason I love you even when we disagree.

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. I'm glad its up..... I hate the snippets of quotes we get from news agencies

[Voice for Peace]

5. That is really horrible.

I haven't watched it yet!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. I know! The less I watch it the worse it gets.

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. 'Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events,'

'but we just got our asses kicked, pal! '


I promise to watch it later

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. Is that from ALIENS? I can almost place it...

32. Great! Why dont you put HER in charge??!!

Uhmmm...on second thought, let's don't.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. half of du buys into the anticlinton hatred w.no need for proof

and this is what abcnews is counting on

[Kahuna]

10. WTF??? I saw it at real time at work today and got pissed before I

ever saw anything posted by the media or DU. I think for myself. I always have. I always will.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. because he said obama had a clear detailed plan about the economy?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

20. He said THAT!?!? What a bastard.

[Jackeens]

9. Good grief

So, SO disappointed in Clinton - and I loved the man! Yeah, of course he's bitter about Hillary losing, you can't blame him for that, but it's just astounding that he can't set aside those feelings for now, for the sake of the country and for the sake of the party. He didn't offer one sincere crumb of praise for Obama, other than a miserable "they're more right" comment about the Obama/Biden ticket. Oh Bill, you've let yourself down, big time.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Welcome to DU. You'll fit right in!

[Jackeens]

12. Thank you!

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. Welcome to DU.... I gave him a +1 grade

I found it pretty middle of the road for either side.


Matrix
-3..-2...-1...0...+1..+2..+3

Just score each statement he made and see what your score is.


I don't like his bi partisan stance this close to the election.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. yeah praising obama is really shitty. shame on him.

[endthewar]

15. Bill Clinton slyly slid in that little jab about Palin being brought up in a right of center church

LOL! :rofl: He made sure he got that in within his praise of Palin so that it will be played. Very shrewd. :evilgrin:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. ...

[endthewar]

21. Agreed!

:shrug:

:rofl:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

22. !!!

:hi:

[varelse]

16. It was a brilliant interview

I watched every second of it and I'm impressed with Clinton's knowledge of the economic issues. I was happy to see these issues being addressed seriously and thoughtfully by *anyone* in the mainstream media, and very impressed with the interviewer's questions as well as Bill's answers.

Thanks for the link. And, he's right... Obama/Biden are the team to support, and they are going to win!

[ramapo]

23. Good job Bill

Very Presidential and positive for Obama

[trayfoot]

24. I am quickly losing my respect and admiration for Bill Clinton!

His attitude in that interview was totally underwhelming!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. yeah he should really rage around like a mad man,. nt

[blondeatlast]

25. Why, the bastard! So Biden-like, offering the faintest of gentlemen's praise

while shamelessly plugging the fact that Democrats are always better for middle America in tough times.

The goddamn nerve of that fellow; what does he know about a prosperoud America?

(And I never really liked him before but things looked rosy with him in office when my son was born in 1997)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

26. I saw it live, had no problem with it.. Pretty vanilla.

Then the print journalists twisted it up and it became the DU Daily Hate

[blondeatlast]

30. I should have said the "faintest of praise for John McCain."

When I saw cali's thread I knew not to click on it. I may not really like the Clintons, but good lord, I surely can't come anywhere near despising them.

Big Dawg did what Big Dawg should and I appreciate his comments.
