11. "Obama took the bait! HaHaHa"

"Now he will get his ears boxed by the Master Politician!"


In case you havent heard, many big name Democrats (Teddy Kennedy and several others) are warning Bill to cease making a fool of himself.

These are influential Democrats that have yet to support either candidate, and if Bill doesnt listen to them Hillary may be sorry as they start throwing their support behind Obama.

13. They're warning someone who actually won the White House twice what to do?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2. interesting blog post

Hey Democrats! Ask yourselves this question; why were George Will, Mathew Dawd (campaign strategist for Bush-Cheney) on This Week and Tim Russert and his fellow round table on Meet the Press, doing damage control for Obama this morning? They twisted his loss in Nevada, defended his Ronald Reagan phopah and lack of support from the Spanish community. Don’t turn away people....face it! They’re saving him for later. They are just licking their chops, waiting for the kill. We can not buy their Obama sell. The Republicans, as I have stated in the past, own MSNBC, CNN and others. They control the message that is being put out. They have used the same sell for Obama as they did Bush; type of guy you can have a beer with, a Uniter, optimistic etc. Same pitch different guy. But not because they’re on the side of Democrats; they’re Republicans! Don’t take the Republican bait. Hillary in 2008!

6. Because they want the nominee to be Obama...

then they will bring out all of their ammunition, the attacks will begin. I watched them all yesterday they all were sad as hell that Hillary won. They must be afraid of what will happen to their stock Chris Matthews had the nerve to brag about how his stock broker and Wachovia...

33. Its more likely they want the nominee to be Hillary

I mean come on, how are a number of democrats gonna react when hard-line republicans start helping a dem candidate? yup, by looking at another one, which means them going out 'protecting' Obama is in Hillary's favor making her the more likely nominee for them to crush

[liberalnurse]

23. Beautifully stated!

That's exactly correct!

[robbedvoter]

27. They always love to pick the designated loser. Rove was wearing a dean T_sirt in 2004

Of course they don't want a Dem president, Obama or anyone. They just think that Obama is greener at this game and they'll trip him easier - Hillary is battle tested for 16 years - she tends to come back.

3. If Obama takes the Clintons head on and comes out ahead..

I'm sold on him.

[Sadie5]

8. sorry I can't support Obama

After he made the Reagan remarks. Now he seems to be a sniffy whining 'poor put out Obama'. He lacks the experience we need in a prez, but when the newsy ones start defending him, then I'm suspicious. If not Edwards, then it will be Hillary for me.

[Virginia Dare]

12. I have my own reasons for not supporting Hillary..

which I won't go into anywhere on DU, but it goes back to an incident that happened when she was First Lady. It's Edwards for me, if not Edwards, Obama. I'll vote for HRC if she's the nominee.

[Hutzpa]

18. But you can support Hillary for liking Raygun

hypocrisy is something that is sooo amazing.

[Yael]

20. And now Bush's pastor is campaigning for Obama with the BO Campaign's support

Wake up, America. VET our candidates before we start voting on them.

[Perry Logan]

4. Use the full nelson, Obama!

[mondo joe]

5. Just so HuffPo covers something other than The View and Lindsay Lohan, anything

will do, even this. :-)

[Captain Hilts]

9. Huffington Post, publish an anti-Clinton column?! I'm shocked, SHOCKED! nt

[Iceburg]

17. Thankfully most of the commenters supported the Clintons

If Obama has a beef with Bill why doesn't he take it up with him in private... cripes he's starting to look like a republican plant.

[OHdem10]

10. Waiting to see it on TV

16. . . .

There's a comment about Russert and George Will doing damage control for Obama that includes this:

"They twisted his loss in Nevada, defended his Ronald Reagan phopah and lack of support from the Spanish community."

:rofl:

(I have to admit that faux pas is pronounced like pho pah, but I never saw the phonetic -- or phopahnetic -- spelling before. )

His whole point was that those guys are Republicans and they're just talking nice about Obama now, which is almost certainly true. Those bastards will trash WHOEVER is the Dem nominee.


Does anyone else feel like the latter part of Bill's presidency, with the impeachment circus, plus the time since then has lasted about fifty years? Time seems to move faster as you get older but damned if it doesn't seem like this particular decade has lasted forever.

19. Slams Bill Clinton While Praising Reagan.....

Why?

[B Calm]

22. Reagan loving bastard, no way in hell will I ever vote for him!

[Bluebear]

24. Slams Clinton, lauds Reagan. Ducky. nt

[Mutineer]

25. Not everything a Democrat does is right.

Not everyting (just mostly) a Republican does is wrong.

[B Calm]

26. I agree, but the last thing you do is praise Reagan!

[Yael]

30. Yeah, but if you have to step in dog shit

do you have to pick the biggest dog you can find first?

[Tatiana]

32. Oh now THIS peaks my interest. I like that Obama is taking Mr. Clinton on.

And if he even pulls a draw, folks will have to look twice at him and realize he's a viable candidate nationally.
