Bill says his 'mistake' was "thinking he was like any other spouse in the race." What a crock!

Heard this tease on The Today Show this morning.

1. The Obamas are *so* jealous of Bill Clinton...

They're absolutely obsessed.

[flpoljunkie]

4. No, we thank Bill for not keeping his mouth shut--"the gift that keeps on giving."

[fasttense]

2. I can see that.

Give Bill a break he ain't the enemy.

3. Good Point

I've often heard the spouses of candidates engage in race-baiting.

5. Also said he would not interfere with a strong VP, SOS, ... ! Sure! I am going to believe that.

[flpoljunkie]

6. Bill said that with a straight face, did he? No one believes that! Not even Hillary, I suspect.

7. i'll bet we could actually get bill clinton impeached this time.

seems people are still obsessed with The Clenis.

[Vinca]

8. If Hillary is the nominee, Bill will be the reason she's not elected. nt

9. As an ex-president, he will never be "just like any other spouse in the race"

Ex-presidents have the press following them everywhere. Every statement made within earshot of the press is fodder for the next news cycle. He knows that, and he thrives on it. He loves to be the center of attention. So there are very few "mistakes" in what he's said to the press during this campaign. He knew what the racial overtones in his earlier statements meant. And he said them with a purpose. The Clintons have always parsed their words very carefully, even down to what the meaning of "is" is. Mistake? I don't think so.

10. Please focus. It is the Obama magical thinking that is the "crock"

11. It's all about you Bill.
