DAILY SHOW WITH BILL CLINTON COMING ON SOON!

[endthewar]

Come on Mr. President, sing Obama's praises! :-)

[Madam Mossfern]

1. It's 11:11

Did I miss anything?
I forgot about it.


whoops-nope-there he is..edit

[endthewar]

2. He just NOW came on!

Hurry to your TV! :-)

[RichGirl]

10. Four minutes...Barack Obama!

He did it!!

[endthewar]

15. Well, technically speaking

Stewart brought up a question that forced Bill Clinton to bring up Obama's name.

[RichGirl]

34. Wrong...

Jon was talking about if Bill was running for president he would be a shoe in.

[endthewar]

36. Yeah, and that's a red flag to mention that Obama is running for President.

I'm no politician and even I figured that one out. :eyes:

[RichGirl]

41. Oh please! Red flag....????

[endthewar]

46. Not sure what's so controversial about that

Red flag, light bulb going off, just substitute whatever euphemistic phrase you want here. All I'm saying is that Jon Stewart's question put Bill Clinton on thin ice, but Bill Clinton skated across it gracefully. Sounds like more of an indictment on Stewart's question to me.

[brooklynite]

3. I was with him an hour after he taped...

and sadly for some of the people here, he actually wants us to win!

[Marsala]

5. Or so he says...

DUN DUN DUN! :sarcasm:

Of course he wants us to win. Bill and Hillary are smart people. They must realize the stakes here.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. you were with Bill? do tell more...

[BlueIdaho]

4. Do you think he'll say the name Barack Obama on the air tonight? nm.

[endthewar]

6. Intense discussion about the bailout so far.

Also pointing out Bush's incompetence handling the economy.

[Madam Mossfern]

7. Damn, he's good.

Bill Clinton for Prez!

[endthewar]

8. I'm glad that he didn't take that bait from Stewart

and he mentioned that Obama was going to win.

[slinkerwink]

11. yeah, I guess he learned from Chris Rock.

[endthewar]

19. Stewart led off the show with a joke about Chris Rock

I think President Clinton got the hint. :-)

[Captain Hilts]

16. He has said Obama is going to win, "and win big" before. nt

[endthewar]

20. That's not the bait I was talking about

I'm talking about the bait to talk about how he himself could easily win, like Stewart was suggesting.

[Captain Hilts]

25. Sorry, I gave up cable. and am not seeing it. nt

[endthewar]

28. No problem. :-)

Hope my thread fills in some of the details. :hi:

[Captain Hilts]

38. I'm enjoying it. Thanks. Keep up the good fight! nt

[slinkerwink]

9. Bill didn't take Jon's question, and said, "The most important thing is that Barack Obama is

going to win, and we will win this presidential race."

[endthewar]

14. Obama/Biden-1. McCain/Palin-0.

Let's hope the scoreboard keeps trending this way.

[brooklynite]

12. Here's a guess - he'll mention the 1.1 Mil voter edge we hgave in PA...

[RepublicanElephant]

13. he just said obama will win! n/t

!

[Every Man A King]

18. Pleasently surprised so far

He also dodged an easy chance to say he would be beating McFail by 20 (Bill if he were running).

[BlueStateGirl]

17. He looks tired. He seems to have aged since the convention.

[Madam Mossfern]

21. He looks like he's lost a bunch of weight

look at the way his jacket fits.

[BlueStateGirl]

22. Yea... maybe that's it. It shows in the face.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Bill Clinton does not have a cool sense of humor, Just sayin...

[endthewar]

26. Did he use to?

I always had the impression of him as being a funny guy back a while ago.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. just a different kind, maybe.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Yikes. Jon saying - did you love Obama enough? People love

him - but not the ones he needs. He needs to get

the rest on his side, show he cares.

[ShortnFiery]

30. Jon is the master of understatement, aye?

;)

[RichGirl]

31. Jon called out the Bill haters!!!!!

Bill's doing great!

[ShortnFiery]

33. Wow, I guess we all see things from our own perspective? Bill's redeeming himself - Kudos for that.

:shrug:

[RichGirl]

39. Jon Stewart saw it from a different perspective.

He was saying...how much love do they expect, are you suppose to tattoo a bumpersticker....

[ShortnFiery]

42. Yeah, you read Stewart's mind? eom.

[endthewar]

49. Well, that was the English translation of what Jon said.

[ShortnFiery]

53. interpretation :-). eom

[endthewar]

32. Token Hillary praise.

I'm okay with it this time though, because he praised Obama first.

[MadBadger]

35. He needs to stop acting like an analyst and start sounding like a surrogate.

[Captain Hilts]

37. He's a policy wonk that never knows when to shut up on a topic. Not new. But damn, he's good. nt

[RichGirl]

44. Yeah...let's dumb everyone down...to Palin level.

[Minimus]

43. I'm so glad that you are okay with it.

:eyes:

[endthewar]

51. Thanks. :-)

[Every Man A King]

40. He was much better

But he is still implying that Obama is running a dirty campaign... and that his and Hillary's speeches in Denver are the only things that rose above it :(

[RichGirl]

45. I didn't get that AT ALL.

[BlueStateGirl]

47. Me neither. I thought he was simply saying it's not about personality

and it's not about winning over the people that already like you, its convincing people who have doubts that we are on their side.

I didn't see any hint of him saying Obama was running a dirty campaign.

[endthewar]

52. Agreed. Plus Stewart was the one who brought up their convention speeches.

[Minimus]

48. Huh? What were you watching?

[Cha]

54. What?! Could you please clarify that?

Because that wouldn't be any better.

[endthewar]

55. He was watching the show with the sound off obviously

Like Palin watching Tina Fey on SNL. :rofl:

[Cha]

56. Good! 'Cause I'm all about

really wanting Bill Clinton to come to the Democratic Party even if he has to have a special engraved invitation.

[Every Man A King]

57. Maybe i took it wrong...

But what does he mean when he says "We tried to put a stop to it in Denver"?

[endthewar]

58. He's referring to the media's interpretation

of ALL of the actions done by himself and Hillary being examined under a suspicious microscope. A better way to put it is that he tried to end all of the drama about, "Will the Clintons support Obama?" during the Convention. After all, that was the purpose of the Convention, to unify the Party.

[QC]

50. Sorry, but I am not satisfied.

Not once--not even once--did Bill jump on the couch.

[McCamy Taylor]

59. He said "Obama loves you".That was what he needed to say.

However, it does not matter how many times Bill or Hillary says it. Obama himself has to demonstrate it by creating a connection with the voters.

This is what I wrote about a while ago in "The Giving Hillary".

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/McCamy%20Taylor/278

Bill isn't an ex-king. He can not "anoint" Obama.

[Captain Hilts]

60. Just as Gore had a problem explaining the value of his service in the senate..

Obama is having a problem making tangible what he's been doing the past 15 years. It's circumscribing his supportive demographic.
