Clinton: Nobody thought this was going to happen

[Karmadillo]

I wish he wouldn't do that. He's right we need to focus on the living, but we don't need to be an apologist for the Bush Administration.

3. He's being a jerk but it's kinda a presidental policy to not criticize

other presidents after you leave office. Everyone pretty much has followed that except Jimmy Carter

[endarkenment]

8. F Bill. Eom.

[speedoo]

16. He would not be criticizing a president.

He would be criticizing a fucking idiot coward who was installed by SCOTUS.

11. Fuck you Clinton, everybody knew that NO could be a problem

they have been talking about the levees for years.

Clinton is not our friend!

[tedzbear]

31. Right on!

Neither is the chimp's daddy.

[TahitiNut]

12. Indeed! Imagine what Mayor Nadin would respond to Bubba.

Everyone with a clue KNEW it would happen. (sheesh!) :eyes:

[Skwmom]

2. Like noboby thought Iraq didn't have WMD. Yeah right. n/m

[halobeam]

This thread has more on this, too.

4. Clinton has the classic desire of a great many politicians:

He wants to be liked by everybody.

Accordingly, he will avoid saying anything that might offend someone or cause someone not to like him.

[Eurobabe]

5. Bullshit, the Discovery Channel had a program

on months ago, one of those superdisaster thingys -- they said NOLA was dead in the water if a Cat 5 hurricane hit them.

Bill, I am ashamed of your sucking up to the Bushies.

6. Shut the F UP Bill!

:puke:

[Cleita]

9. Yeah, I don't understand why he's changing the diapers on both

of them. No amount of sanitizing is going to clean up their shit. He really is making me wonder if he's suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome. If they had done to me what the RW did to him over Monica Lewinsky, Hell would freeze over before I would ever step up to bail them out of a sinking ship.

[Totally Committed]

It's Official: Bill Clinton has left the building! n/t

TC

[Armstead]

14. I wish he would

at least as long as he is going to be a perennial Bush bud

[magnolia]

10. I got the sense that he was talking....

...specifically about what happened with the Superdome. He kept referring to the Superdome. Maybe he'll re-think the situation when the death toll numbers come in.

[Tomee450]

25. It seemed to me

that Clinton was trying to lessen the criticism of the Bush administration's poor handling of the situation.

[LTR]

13. Sounds like Clinton's being diplomatic

Nothing good would come out of Clinton lashing into Dumbya at this moment.

Best thing to do is ease a few concerns and get the job done. Stay positive and level-headed. That's one of the reasons we liked him, right?

I think people here are overreacting a tad.

[saracat]

19. This is NOT the time to be diplomatic. Negligence has caused death.

Bush stopped the work on the levees. He was warned, and you say this is overeacting? I beg to differ. We need more outrage not less! Why should Clinton be polite while genocide is being practiced in our own nation???????

[LTR]

24. You can't change the past

Bush fucked up by not acting sooner. Now it's time to be level-headed and clean up the mess and beef up the rescue effort. A pissing match between two presidents is not going to help. It will only make matters worse. And Clinton tearing Bush a new one will only make him look petty and vindictive.

[saracat]

38. I disagree. Someone has to do it.We need a leader.

I And "looking petty and vindictive " is a small price to pay for saving lives! Another thing, This doesn't make Dems look good. They look callous to be so worried about how things might play. The nation wants answers .Why don't the Dems?t is obvious nothing is ghoing to be done. They can't even get water.

[RSchewe]

15. DLC, Hillary's running, setting the stage, Republican-lite, nuff said. n/t

[SmokingJacket]

18. He's been on major drugs since his heart surgery.

Maybe I shouldn't give him an excuse, but damn, he just hasn't been himself.

What a FUCKTARDED thing to say.

[Tomee450]

20. I saw Clinton

saying that and was thoroughly disgusted. My respect for him was substantially lessened. He and Hillary have certainly changed or perhaps they fooled a lot of people.

[Garbo 2004]

23. Bill's always been a politician. The second oldest profession... n/t

[soleft]

21. He doesn't have to criticize, but he doesn't have to lie either

And lying is exactly what he's done.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. I thought he was going to kiss Poppy Bush there at the end.

They do have a lot in common. NAFTA, CFR and so on.

[Poll_Blind]

26. Not Clinton, but in general: Sounds like 9/11 explanation.

"We had no idea..."

Well fuck that. We've got fucking satellites in space that can read your newspaper- am I supposed to think that they couldn't predict that there would be bad damage? That's bullshit and it's an insult to thinking persons everywhere.

PB

[ernstbass]

27. What total bullshit

[tedzbear]

28. Clinton is bullshitting us.

So is everybody else. But CNN is finally coming around and talking about what we are seeing vs. what the chimp and his minions are claiming.

[Individualist]

29. Sounds just like Condiliar

:mad:

[DemNoir]

30. Stop bashing Clinton

Former Presidents never criticize the current President. Its a tradition
and he is not going to break it.

[Karmadillo]

32. The issue isn't one of criticizing Bush. The issue is saying something

that isn't true in order to defend Bush.

[tedzbear]

36. But he doesn't have to go on national TV to lie for him.

He could just remain silent.

[sundog]

33. bullshit

i was upset with him today & i'll just leave it at that x(

[Hobarticus]

34. So, who DID know this was going to happen?

Not warnings...I want to know who predicted this exact turn of events.

Come on, folks....people are dying, and we're freaking out over something Big Dawg did or didn't say?!?

[AX10]

35. BULL!

This has been known for sometime!

[tedzbear]

37. BULL X 2!

This has been known for a long time.
