Clinton Out Live in Presser Defeding Obama Bill as Good for America!

[KoKo]

Live on the cables. Says Tax Breaks for Wealthy will spur jobs! OY!!!!!!!!!!

[fascisthunter]

1. the fact they are doing this proves its a failure already

damage control

[Little Star]

45. Guess it takes a Clinton to clean up after a Obama just

like it took one to clean up after a Bush.

Your right, this was truly damage control and it was very obvious.

[Ken Burch]

2. Of COURSE El Perro Grande would do that!

Clinton WANTS to make sure that Obama has to be just as right-wing as he was. And he probably thinks this will help HRC, even though we all KNOW she'd have done the same damn thing.

[BlueJac]

3. Tax breaks do not create jobs......

ten years of proof!! Bill Clinton is an ass, go sign another NAFTA trade deal Bill. Your buddy Obama wants to be just like you!!!

[DURHAM D]

9. Clinton doesn't need to go sign another NAFTA bill - Obama is doing that.

[Solly Mack]

4. Did Obama just walk off the podium?

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Yup. Goddamn, this is depressing.

Saw a reporter throw up his hands in frustration.

[Solly Mack]

22. I'm just amazed.

Simply amazed.

[DURHAM D]

5. I believe Clinton is doing this for two reasons:

One - his wife is in the cabinet

Two - his wife is in the cabinet

I don't believe he believes what he is saying - he is just being a loyal Democrat.

[EFerrari]

8. He's the closer. They always send him out when floating

some Mission Impossible. And sometimes, he pulls it out.

[Dawson Leery]

13. That's about it.

[NorthCarolina]

16. Correction -

a loyal DLC Democrat.

[DURHAM D]

20. In this context "DLC Democrat" has no meaning.

try again

[NorthCarolina]

24. LOL...sure thing. I believe it has plenty of meaning. nt

[Marr]

25. What do you mean, "it has no meaning"?

Clinton defined the term, "DLC Democrat", with his welfare "reform", NAFTA, GATT, repeal of Glass-Steagall, media consolidation, etc., etc.

[DURHAM D]

26. blah, blah, blah

Its a new day - you need new tripe.

[Marr]

30. What a moronic response.

If that's the best you have, you should probably just refrain from argument.

[DURHAM D]

32. Come on Marr - get a better argument.

DLC is sooooo last century.

[Marr]

34. Oh, I know-- we should Look Forward, Not Back©.

Isn't that right?

[Individualist]

41. Fail.

Anyone who is politically knowledgeable knows about DLC.

[wtbymark]

6. Dear Bill, take your Nafta and WTO buddies...

and shove them up your ass. This about seals it for me.
same ol' same ol'

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. This is so damn fucking amazing

this is a historic day folks...

[Marr]

27. mispost

oops

[sufrommich]

11. Good God. Can't Obama speak for himself?? nt

[somone]

12. It's a pile of shit and he knows it

Geeez

[Tatiana]

14. OMG. This is totally surreal. What does Obama think this will accomplish? n/t

[LiberalEsto]

18. Distraction from Bernie Sanders nt

[Little Star]

47. That was my first thought.

[KoKo]

15. This is shocking! It's like Bush II asking his Poppy to Defend Him!

I've never seen anything like this done!

And Obama left Clinton to it saying he had to eat Dinner with his Wife? WTF???

[chimpymustgo]

17. I honestly think Obama is just doing whatever the fuck the PTB tell him.

[howaboutme]

19. The perception is surreal

as Obama checks his watch and says he must get home to his wife. He is like a kid turning the hard part of the class play over to his daddy.

What I'm thinking now is that the Democratic Party is sacrificing itself so that the wealthy (i.e. primarily the NY Wall St. financial gang banger money people who have already illicitly stripped wealth from the USA can again tap on taxpayers and China long term.

I really can't stand Bill Clinton as he postures and triangulates for the elite.

The Republicans are going to make a field day out of this.

[KoKo]

35. That was Totally Bizarre ...Obama leaves clinton to take Q&A from Reporters because of Dinner?

The whole thing was bizarre.. I can't wait to see how our Progressive Pundits deal with this latest....

[KoKo]

38. It was so Bizzarre....Obama Usher's Clinton out for Full Presser & leaves for Dinner with Michelle?

Clinton took Q&A for a long time (I think about an hour) and was acting like HE was the President and the one who just left was a WIMP who had to go eat dinner and was late!

But, in a way it was fitting...because Obama has all of Clinton's Wall Street Guru's advising him and it gives Clinton a way to defend "Bankster Bailouts" while the rest of us suffer. Clinton also seemed to agree with Deficit Commission. Clinton said we need to face "hard choices" ahead with new Congress and "...both sides will not be happy with those choices."

Is Obama Weak for bringing in Clinton or Strong for Pulling out the Big Gun. But...what other Former President would DO THIS? It's still shocking. I have to wait to see what the MSM Pundits think of this over the weekend...don't I. THEY (MSM) will be the ones to sort out how this goes for all of us out here in America.

My take...is that it was disgusting to see this. A President who can't stand on his own two legs ...but has to bring in a guy who was TRASHED for ending "Glass-Steagall" act that kept Investment banking separate from Common People Banks...Put in after Wall Street went WILD causing the Great Depression his NAFTA Agreement that OFFSHORED AMERICAN JOBS...Commodities Reform Act that caused Bubbles, Alan Greenspan who allowed Dot. Com Bubble and Housing Bubble (housing was holding interest rates to low, like Bernanke is doing now) and he also did the "Telecommunications Act Reform" that allowed MEDIA to GROW BIGGER into the MSM PROPAGANDA that we deal with these days.

PLUS...BILL CLINTON and Kenneth Starr allowed a TRASHING OF A PRESIDENT that cost us BUSH and Probably 9/11!

OMG...so dreadful.

[howaboutme]

43. The establishment has neutered the for the people institutions such as industrial unions and AARP

and they totally control the main stream media.

The GOP establishment was frightened as hell over the maverick uncontrollable angry at politicians Tea Party and so were the Ds until they were able to reign in the alleged leaders with the Koch brothers money and Dick Armey shills and create a sharper divide between left or right. The original Tea Party was more libertarian than right and there were also angry Democrats included.

It might sound totally absurd at the moment but regaining our country for the people might involve merging of interests of strange bedfellows on the left and right with one common mission...to regain power for the people and take it from the corporate and financier establishment.

[KoKo]

40. Computer Glitch...Delete

[MoonRiver]

21. This is so pathetic and depressing.

:argh:

[Safetykitten]

23. It's beyond words. It's....repugnant. The republicans are in heaven.

[Marr]

28. Obama's shown himself to be so far right that his own party is opposing him, so of course,

he's got to drag in that other DLC trojan horse to back him up.

What a joke this is.

[Roland99]

29. DLC. 'nuff said.

[kenny blankenship]

31. Maybe it will be as good as NAFTA! Or even the Commodities and Futures Modernization Act!111!

Ooh, we are going to get PRESENTS! Maybe even a PONY!


Then again, maybe it will just be Bill's dick in a box.

[nc4bo]

33. Yay, more more more.

My mind can't quite comprehend what I just witnessed at that presser.

Bizarre, disturbing and a symptom of some major problems.

But hey, I'm first to say I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[BlueCheese]

36. I missed all this.

Are you telling me that for a while it was just Bill Clinton in the White House press room (or wherever) addressing the reporters?

What a strange sight it must have been. Someone turning on the TV in the middle would be thinking, wait is it 1998 again?

[Poboy]

44. Yes. You have to see it to believe it. link-

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. Yep... it was... weird

[musette_sf]

37. what do you expect

from a DLC charter member?

[asdjrocky]

39. Big Blue Dawg BS.

The tipping point is near.

[Individualist]

42. Bill spewing DLC bullshit. How special!

:puke:
