Head's Up- Bill Clinton on Letterman now.

[faithfulcitizen]

If you can take it.

[Forkboy]

1. ....

:popcorn:

[RichGirl]

32. He was much better on Letterman than the View.

What he projected to the average non-political junky is that he is very smart, and he's for Obama. They aren't picking apart every statement looking for betrayal.

He hurt Hillary in the primaries because he says what he thinks. He didn't deliberately try to ruin things. He's doing the same now.

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Well, tell us West Coast People how he is doing

He's been busy, busy, busy today!

[faithfulcitizen]

3. Now, he's talking about the economy and home mortgage crisis.

[Ichingcarpenter]

4. Does blame the republicans or does he take a CENTRALIST view

and sits on the fence?

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Actually, he was pretty centrist..and even mentioned that there was not enough regulation..

but couldn't he have vetoed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that lifted all the regulations and led to this situation?

[faithfulcitizen]

6. sorry, I was in and out. It's a break now. From what I heard, he was mostly defending his policies..

someone who watched the whole segment would know more, sorry.

[scheming daemons]

7. Said there's "plenty of blame to go around"

Being "diplomatic".


Quit being an "ex-Prez", Bubba, and ATTACK THE FUCKING REPUBLICANS FOR A CHANGE.


sigh.

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Like I said........ sitting on fence in the middle of the road.

Jimmy Carter would be a better surrogate on the talk shows

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

12. Yes he would. He wasn't afraid to call Bush a nimrod.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. I think you are 100% right. He would tell it like it really is.

[Cha]

19. Only dead

skunks in the middle of the road.

[sandnsea]

9. Like with Katrina and Iraq

I am so sick of it.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. He is NOT particularly supportive of Obama...

[endthewar]

16. If you didn't know what Party he's in, you wouldn't be able to tell from this one interview.

That pretty much sums it up. :(

Obama should force Bill Clinton to where an Obama button whenever he goes out in public. Eventually he'd get the message.

[faithfulcitizen]

17. you would have NO IDEA how much is at stake between these two men either.

[Cha]

24. Obama wouldn't force anyone to

do anything so that's not gonna happen.

Bill is on his own.

[BrklynLiberal]

10. He is kind of defending Paulson and Bernacke.

x(

[JackBeck]

23. Kind of? He's totally infusing praise and support.

Barack gave an historic speech today where he outlined his plan for what he would do for our country's economic future.

You'd think he'd mention it and at least talk at length on some of the points that Obama mentioned today.

But, no. He could barely muster a compliment for Obama during this interview.

[endthewar]

11. "Hillary has said..."

Yay! Kicking off her 2012 or 2016 campaign tonight! :bounce::toast: :party: :grouphug: :pals: :bounce:

[faithfulcitizen]

15. oh here we go again.....

AHHHHHHHHH! why am I watching this with some glimmer of hope of him saying something supportive of our guy???

[Pirate Smile]

21. I'm not going to watch any of his interviews. It isn't worth the aggravation.

[endthewar]

27. Jon Stewart won't let him get away with this kind of stuff

We'll have to depend on him to hold his feet to the fire. Funny how Bill is making the rounds a few days before the first Presidential debate.

[Pirate Smile]

28. Do we really want Jon holding his feet to the fire? I'm not sure we would like the answers. They

may just be more pro-McCain.

[endthewar]

43. Stewart's audience would turn on Bill in a heartbeat

They love Bill and will give him a standing ovation when he first comes out, but then all bets are off.

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. God, I hope you are right! Jon is the one to call him out on his

moral and political ambivalence.

[Forkboy]

42. Jon's great, but I wouldn't expect too much.

Ultimately, Stewart's job is to make people laugh, and he knows that. I don't see him going after Big Dog very hard...not his style for the most part, unless you can tell he really doesn't like his guest. I suspect Jon likes Bill enough that he won't be doing any attacking.

[endthewar]

47. He's great at this. Stewart will find a way.

Probably will attack McCain/Bush, watch Bill hesitate to join in, and then joke about it.

[Forkboy]

55. That's possible.

He may take a route like that. But he wont just outright attack any of his guests, as it should be, imo.

[shugah]

56. after the view today

which i ended up not watching- i was doing some things and was going to rewind to watch Bill - when i got to the teevee it was just in time to hear him talk about how much he really likes both of them. i just turned off the tee and decided i'm not watching anymore Bill Clinton until the election is over.

you're right - not worth the aggravation.

[Doug_Orlando]

18. he needs to be called out on this*

*

[faithfulcitizen]

20. At least he's saying nice things about Biden now. oh wait....

now saying Biden wasn't being cute about "he should have picked Hillary" comment, he really meant it. OMG.



on edit: "John McCain really is a candidate of change." (No, nothing to see here folks)

[Arugula Latte]

25. Oh Jebus .. Someone please shove a sock in his mouth.

:banghead:

[Cha]

26. Bill Clinton said "mccain really

is a candidate of change"? :wtf:

[faithfulcitizen]

30. yeah, it's just a bad year for him to run since he too is a repub. unbelievable.

[Ichingcarpenter]

38. I can quote you on that?

OMG....... if so............ I'm going negative as BLM and I know what Clinton is tomorrow.

I will destroy this man and anyone that defends him.

[RichGirl]

46. He did NOT say that.

Watch it yourself and don't judge on heresay.

[faithfulcitizen]

49. Then what did he say exactly? What did you hear? Cause' that's what I heard.

[nc4bo]

36. Someone pull the plug. Time-out. The train has left the station. The fat lady has sung and now

it's time to close the curtains and lock the door.

[Basement Beat]

40. He seriously said that?

That sounds like a commercial in the making for the McCain campaign.
Thanks Bill.

[faithfulcitizen]

48. Yes, in a nutshell. I'm a lousy typist, so I was trying to remember while I hunt & peck.

I'm sure it will be on youtube shortly.

[NYC_SKP]

22. Tonight he's selling a book. In 1992 he was selling himself and was happy to

run home to Arkansas to kill Ricky Ray Rector.

Same then as now, Bill selling Bill, this isn't about Obama, or about us, or about what's best for our country.

"By 1992, Bill Clinton was insisting that Democrats "should no longer feel guilty about protecting the innocent" and took a position strongly supporting capital punishment. To make his point, he flew home to Arkansas mid-campaign to affirm that the execution would continue as scheduled." (wikipedia)

I don't care for Bill Clinton.

[girl_interrupted]

35. Think the solutions he offered about the economic crisis were excellent

Hope Congress takes his advice. He spoke in absolutely glowing terms about Joe Biden. He & Hillary & Joe all doing a campaign event for Obama in Pennsylvania in October. Think he did a great job tonite.

[JackBeck]

29. That was disgusting.

The only positive thing that I could see coming from this current Clinton media blitz is some winger heads exploding over Clinton heaping praise on McCain, while ignoring Obama.

I can picture their feeble minds thinking:

"I hate Clinton. But want to vote McCain. Why does the guy I hate like the guy I like."

[milkyway]

33. Bill can join McCain's Club for Bitter Old Men.

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. Was it that bad?

Did you watch it?

[girl_interrupted]

39. I watched it, thought he did a great job

I don't know what show some of these posters were watching. He offered solutions for the economic crisis, praised Joe Biden, praised Obama, and is doing a campaign event for him with Hillary & Joe in Pennsylvania in October.

[ShortnFiery]

44. Yeah, IMO, if he was running for "Miss Congeniality", Bill won. If he was supporting the Democratic

team, Bill lost. Let's NOT ever forget this come 2012 no matter what happens? :thumbsup:

[PBS Poll-435]

45. 2012?

huh?

We are going to win this year.

[Ichingcarpenter]

52. Did you see it?

I trust you not the poster above since I don't know her.

[faithfulcitizen]

54. Hey, you mean me? I'm trustworthy.

:(

[firedupdem]

37. did he really say McCain was an agent of change? You're

shitting me!!

[RichGirl]

51. NO...he did not.

Regardless of what anyone thinks...we are suppose to have UNITY. Obama needs UNITY. So don't create shit out of nothing.

[These Eyes]

41. I hope you guys are still watching…

Chris Rock is on and just called BC out on not wanting to say Obama's name and said that BC kept saying Hillary would do this or that and that maybe someone needs to tell him Hillary's not running. He went on for a coupe of minutes about Clinton. He as hilarious. Maybe that will embarrass Bill to start campaigning for Obama like he should.

[nc4bo]

50. It's killing me NOT to say it, it's bad so I won't put it in the subj. line..

I HAVE to ask, the suspense is KILLING me......

Is BC a P*M*? (fill in the asterisks).

Youtube clip up yet?

[NYC_SKP]

53. You don't know Bill....

Chris's comments won't change Bill one bit, if anything he'll just be even less willing to help us.

His shot at a co-presidency were shot down by a black kid named Obama!

He got served, he ain't ever gonna get over it.

[doc03]

57. I wish he would shut the f---- up, he a best

just gave Obama a lukewarm endorsement. I thought he was going to say vote for McCain for a while after all the BS about him being a great man and all. He was wishy washy about laying blame for the economic mess. I don't think he wants to put too much blame on the Republicans because his fingerprints are on this mess too.

[doc03]

59. Why is it all the Democrats pussy foot around

criticizing McCain. They always go through all this great man former POW bullshit, just what did he do he got shot down and was a POW? How many people were POWs over the years, I don't buy the hero crap he was tortured and then cooperated with the enemy. The heroes were the ones that didn't break down under torture and never came home. Over a half million people served in Vietnam and many died or were maimed for life they are the heroes. Just what did he do that anyone else wouldn't have done? Look at Max Cleland now that's a hero and the Republicons morphed him into Bin Laden.

[4lbs]

58. Gee, Mr. President don't strain yourself giving Barack Obama your endorsement or anything.

I was a Hillary supporter myself, but am now fully entrenched behind Obama and Biden.

I take every chance I get to slam McCain and Palin. I guess it's too much to ask that the party's last elected President (yeah, yeah, 2000 and 2004), do the same.
