All of you Obama/Hillary ticket people......you forget Bill Clinton.....

[Vote2008]

I love a Obama/Hillary ticket......but.....

Does anyone, even the biggest Clinton fan in the world think that Bill Clinton will keep his mouth shut about Obama during his time as president? No one can control Bill Clinton.

Bill will be saying shit like "If Hillary was president...."

Or Bill will be saying "I would not have handled it that way....."

He will be on meet the press and be undermining Obama because he is mad about this primary.

I don't trust Bill Clinton at all.

He will not keep his mouth shut.

[Shoelace]

1. oh yea, he'll shut up

because he is the penultimate politician. He'll shut up because his wife will be VP. Plus, ya never know, Obama might just put him in a cabinet position.
I could see that happening. He left office with a 6 billion dollar surplus.
How about if he's Secretary of the Treasury? :think:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Cabinet position? Nah, send him away ...

make him Ambassador to Grand Fenwick or Kafiristan or something.

:hi:

[Shoelace]

18. lol, whatever!

it's all about party unity honey. Get it?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. Oh, yeah, and the party unity begins now

It may be a day, or week, or month before we're officially down to ONE candidate. But today the news and the posts seem to echo the inevitibility of an Obama nomination. There'll be some gloating, some accusing, but this is just picking at the scab of a healing wound ... the main theme being "healing".

I think there are better choices for veep than Clinton, but that's a minor issue. I'll vote for Obama/Clinton, if it comes to that.

[Shoelace]

34. I agree with you on all counts. Healing wounds can start on DU

on both sides. We are one party against the most corrupt regime this country has ever seen. The war, the economy, the environment is being trashed as I type. My God, I can hardly wait until November when Democrats win the presidency, take back veto proof majority in both houses.

How sweet the thought!!!

5. lol, you are right.

[highplainsdem]

6. Not funny, & just as stupid as Pat Robertson

with his lunatic allegations about the Clintons.

Do you want to alienate ALL the Clinton supporters Obama needs to win?

Then keep posting garbage like this.

[Erin Elizabeth]

8. So, it'll be the fault of a few people on a message board

if Obama doesn't win?

And if Obama doesn't kiss Hillary's ass and ask her to be his VP, then none of the Hillary supporters will vote for him? I already know for a fact that's not true.

[Shoelace]

23. I'll vote for him but alot of Hispanics, blue collar workers, seniors might not

the math speaks to the issue of Hillary's demographics. If she's VP, then we get the the huge number former Republicans who have switched parties. We get the Hispanics, the Jewish vote, seniors, single moms, and alot of plain old Democrats who have always liked the Clintons because those years were good years for alot of us.

We've got to get over the divisions, stop calling names, unite to win in November. How many times do I have to say this?

Let's be smarter than the Republicans for a change huh!!!

:grouphug:

[Erin Elizabeth]

30. Is Hillary the only person who can get Hispanics,

the Jewish vote (which Obama is increasing in, btw), senior, etc?

I doubt it.

And just as a by the way, I don't see this huge Hispanic support she supposedly has. I live in Texas.

[Shoelace]

31. Hispanics were key in Clinton's win in Texas, Jewish vote in Penn.

according to the figures from this news item from then:


Hispanic vote key in Hillary Clinton's Texas victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wednesday, March 5th 2008, 11:33 AM



If Hillary Clinton ends up clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, she may have to thank Hispanic Texans.

Hispanics voted in force in Texas, making up a third of voters — up from the quarter they comprised in the state's Democratic primary in 2004.

The New York senator won 67 percent of the votes of Hispanics in Texas, one of her best showings yet with them. They were negligible in Ohio, where she also won the primaries.

Clinton had intensely courted the Latino vote in Texas in the previous weeks, and was expected to fare better than Obama.

However, the strength of her lead among Hispanic voters was surprising.

"I think expected to cut into her Latino vote a little bit more than that," said Jerry Polinard, a political science professor at University of Texas-Pan American in the Rio Grande Valley.

Clinton won Penn. in part because of the Jewish vote which was for 62% to Obama's 38%. I think he's been courting the Jewish vote more now so he'll probably do ok with them (I hope) at this point in time. Interesting article about Penn. here from the "Texas Jewish Post" website.

Geez, what a long addy eh? I have to say that I don't quite agree with Clinton on her pro Israel ideas which is one of the reasons I'll have no problem voting for Obama in November.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. Thanks for saving me the trip

to FreeRepublic to read such bullshit.

[Erin Elizabeth]

3. Yep. I wouldn't be comfortable with

a Billary backseat driving team at ALL. And I suspect Obama and his camp feel the same way.

[L0oniX]

4. puke

[Erin Elizabeth]

7. And you know what really gets me?

After ALL her negativity and craziness, suddenly Obama is just supposed to be palsy-walsy with her and trust her and lurve her.

Makes. No. Sense.

[redqueen]

9. No kidding.

Why is this Clinton as VP crap being pushed SO hard?

:wtf:

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. BECAUSE SHE'S GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING!!!

SHE'S OWED THIS!!!!!!

:sarcasm:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Remember her offering the VP slot to him?

When she was losing?

Another thread claimed Hillary should be his VP so that she and Bill can "show him the ropes," as if Obama's a tourist from Mars or some bullshit.

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. Or he's mentally disabled, I know.

It's ridiculous. Like, gosh, how did ANY president ever survive before without Bill and Hillary helping their poor little selves?

Geez.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. And they're shocked when accusations of racism pop up.

[Erin Elizabeth]

22. YEP.

It's like when someone says to an African-American "gosh, you're so....ARTICULATE!"

:eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. Yep, like they're the exception.

[redqueen]

27. I'd love to be wrong.

I'd love to be shown quotes of people suggesting such things were necessary when Bill was our nominee.

Sadly, though... I think you're spot on.

[redqueen]

26. Oh yes... the absurdity guarantees I won't soon forget that one.

As for that "show him the ropes" nonsense... I don't even know what to say.

I have to wonder if such 'helpful suggestions' were made when Bill was the candidate. *sigh*

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. The VP offer really sparked my dislike of her.

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Bill did not look good last night, I've never seen his color change that much

from a beet red back to a pink. I worry about his health.

No slam on Bill, but this was taken by AP in North Carolina ( untouched )
I hardly recognize him and he doesn't look healthy in this photo either

[cui bono]

37. You can't judge anyone by one still frame.

If you watch a video clip you can easily find many frames that can make a beautiful/handsome person look absolutely hideous. So if a photo is taken without a pose you can easily capture a bad look/moment.

[MidwestTransplant]

12. It would be 2 against 1. No way he signs up for that.

[Cassandra]

13. I've been against the 3 in a bed ticket...

for a while now.

[Erin Elizabeth]

15. Good phrase, I need to remember that one. LOL.

[blm]

16. He couldn't manage to criticize Bush publicly from 2001-2007, but he has no problem targeting Dems

with his barbs.

[Catherine Vincent]

29. What BS!

Former President Clinton will let either candidate lead. He realizes he's not the President anymore. Such republican talk points you got there.

[karynnj]

32. He hasn't done that to George Bush, I doubt he would to Obama when he is President

This will likely be the case whether she is VP or not. It seems to be his view that you shouldn't.

He will likely criticize the campaign - as he did Gore's, Kerry's and his wife's - in the case of the first two I thought it was intentional - I don't think it is now.

[anonymous171]

33. He's already undermining Hillary's campaign with his comments.

[Az_lefty]

35. Bill's narcissistic, he'll never shut up or get out from in front of the camera

[bvar22]

36. Could you sleep knowing....

...that your "one heartbeat" was the only thing blocking Hillary from the Oval Office?
:scared:
