TRENDING: Why did Obama quit a golf game with Clinton?
Posted by
CNN's Gregory Wallace

(CNN) - President Bill Clinton says President Barack Obama quit a recent golf round between them - and he suggested he might have a theory why.

<snip>

"I'm only one down and he leaves at (hole) thirteen - says, 'Gotta go,' " Clinton continued, laughing.

He stopped short of accusing Obama of quitting the game before chalking up a loss, but said he told Obama, "Hey, you're talking to somebody that's had this job and made that excuse."

Doesn't seem to me as though Bubba stopped short. He called Obama's begging off because duty called an excuse, not a scheduling issue.



Cllinton spoke as well of how ACA may impact rising health costs and sounded testy with Obama in that anecdote as well.
`

"I think that in the next four years, how this health care bill is implemented will determine whether people see it as I do: as a big step forward - assuming we implement it right - or whether they have their fears confirmed because they don't like the way it's implemented and they think it's more trouble and less good," Clinton said.

And I told him (Obama) when it was over - I said, 'Nobody owes me anything. I'm going back to do my foundation. If I can ever help you, call me, and if you don't, it’s fine with me.'

"I did this because it was right - end of story," Clinton added.

Meanwhile, Obama just signed into law still more entitlements for past Presidents, with no strings (or "chains"), no conditions, no means testing, nada. He reinstated Secret Service protection for life for both them and their wives, and for their kids until the kids are 16. (I would worry about someone nutzo going after my kids because he or she could not get to me, but, what do I know?) So, both George Crime Family Bushes will get it, as will multi-millionaires Clinton, Carter and Obama. No means, testing, either.





Some of us are entitled to the good life and some of us can drop dead.


Literally.

1. Are ex-presidents in danger?

I do not believe there has been an attempt on the life of an ex-president. Correct me if I'm wrong. But, considering all the insane hatred of President Obama he might be the first.

FWIW, I do not find Bubba or Obama particularly trustworthy. They both probably cheat at golf.

2. I don't know. Too many people watching, including the free bodyguard details.

Obama will be more than able to pay for Secret Service protection, just as Bil is.

In fact, I expect the Obamas to do much better in the post-Presidency because, Tony Morrison to the contrary, Bubba was not "our first black President." The historic nature of the Presidency is likely to put Obama in even greater demand than Nill. And, being out of office more recently than Bill, Obama is likely be preferred by those who want him to use his influence with Democrats.

Michelle is unlikely to run for office after her husbanc's second term ends, as did Haillary. So, she will get some good speaking fees and gigs.

In all, I'm guessing Obama will do at least twice as well as Bubba has.

Not only has there never been an attempt on the life of a former President, there has never been an attempt on a current First Lady, let alone a former First Lady.

I think this is indeed Obama worrying about how hated he is. Maybe how hated Bush is as well.

3. I think when you've retired from full time work, after a few years you forget what it's like.

Seriously, I've seen it with my parents and with their generation.

Hard working when they were working and always making excuses, having reasons to not have fun, then at an older age seem to forget what busy and working are all about.

Not that bubba isn't busy or working, just that it's in an entirely different way these days.
