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.

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.

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.

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

25. What do you mean, "it has no meaning"?
Edited on Fri Dec-10-10 05:11 PM by Marr
Clinton defined the term, "DLC Democrat", with his welfare "reform", NAFTA, GATT, repeal of Glass-Steagall, media consolidation, etc., etc.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
