Bill Blames Obama for Ouster of Candidates

[pdxmom]

NACOGDOCHES, Texas -- Continuing his swing through eastern Texas last night, Bill Clinton continued to slam Obama's discounting of "fights" of the past, even saying that Obama's argument can be blamed for the elimination of Democratic candidates who have already dropped out of the race.

<snip>

Bill Clinton added that Hillary believes in solutions, not speeches. He says that might be "a generational thing." But, in the same breath, he also touts his own speechmaking ability.

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/16/671522.aspx


So, if your favorite candidate dropped out, it's all Obama's fault. And young people are kinda dumb. And speeches are bad, except for Bill's speeches.

Bill is one of the worst things happening in Hillary's campaign.

1. you know I actually thought they had the Big Dog chained to the porch

but, alas, he's still out there making a fool of himself. It's hard to believe I used to have such a high regard for him, but each time I catch a glimpse of him these days, he looks tired and beaten.

[Iktomiwicasa]

8. Just when you think he's gone

he's back humping someone else's leg.

[grantcart]

10. I think that while everyone was staring aimlessly at the newest

tracking polls they forgot to check the leash

[Cha]

11. I knew that wouldn't last..

It's been a disaster waiting to happen from day one and I just hope that we aren't the recepients.

[David Zephyr]

81. Video & Audio: Here's who wanted to eliminate the other candidates.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwgLlDbwNwU&feature=related

[Cha]

82. Thanks, David..the clintons have

been at the point for a long time where there's no honesty involved.. the truth would be even more disasterous than the lies.

[David Zephyr]

87. Bill Clinton is just destroying his reputation and making up stories that can be proved false.

Gee. It must be horrible to be a Clinton supporter and see this happening. It really is sad.

[Tatiana]

92. What the hell do facts have to do with this?

:eyes:

[David Zephyr]

93. LOL!

You'd think they'd ask Bill to shut up if he's hell bent to attack Obama. It always backfires on him.

[Tatiana]

95. This is why I hope he continues with his diarrhea of the mouth.

Obama always goes up in the polls afterwards. Though, I admit, it sort of sad seeing him not as a great, savvy politician, but like a less-old version of Zell Miller.

[anigbrowl]

103. Nice one - PWNed!

I don't think the Clinton campaign quite gets that in the internet age, the 24 hour news cycle comes with a rewind button and channel changer. You can just put a trial balloon out there and hope to see if it lifts off or not - if it's not based in truth, then your trial balloon is going to get publicly popped pretty quickly.

[gateley]

108. Yeah. That still pisses me off. nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

28. Bill is Obama's best hope

lets hope Bill overreaches some more....

[Eurobabe]

122. smells like desperation

[blm]

2. Geez...this stuff doesn't even make sense. Sounds like he needs a rest.

Campaigning nowadays isn't what it was in 1992, Bill. It's been EXTRA TOUGH since the GOP gained control of the broadcast newsmedia. Something you could have fixed before you left office, but didn't.

Take a rest for a couple days and then try again, Bill.

[pdxmom]

6. The speech thing sounds like his pride is hurt. He doesn't like the

attention Obama is getting for the wonderful speeches.

[grantcart]

43. I think he is trying to get Edwards and other supporters angry

at Obama

[Neecy]

72. it didn't make sense to me, either

Just bizarre, disjointed rambling. I can't understand why Hillary doesn't shut him the hell up. It's her campaign, not his.

[krkaufman]

129. Note that Bill's signing of the 1996 telecom bill largely contributed to our present media situation

there was plenty of bad policy implemented during Clinton's administration, along with whatever good they did.

[jefferson_dem]

3. Get back in your crate big dog. You're acting a fool again.

n/t

[sniffa]

4. Man

I hope he continues like this.

[ZinZen]

107. I agree, let Bill rant

he just looks like one of those old men screaming at cars going by.

[XemaSab]

5. We need to take up a collection to get the Big Dog a cup of

shut the f*** up.

Gawd, he's getting just like St. Ronnie. :(

[Iktomiwicasa]

13. Here ya go, Bill.

[Cha]

17. Like sniffa just said..

"Man..I hope he continues like this"! :) Who's bil hurting? hilary..and it couldn't happen to a more slimey dino couple.

[Laurab]

55. Hell, no - I want him to keep right on talking.

He's digging himself in a little deeper every time he opens his mouth, and helping Obama. I used to really like Bill, but he has really damaged his legacy as an ex-President IMO, and also showing a side I hadn't really seen before, and didn't really want to.

[alteredstate]

74. Or a cup of Valiums.

[JPZenger]

7. Bill Blames Obama for Dodd, Richardson, Biden leaving?

If I read the quotes in the link correctly, the Big Dawg is blaming Obama for Richardson, Dodd, Biden and Edwards leaving the race?

I guess he is also saying that Kucinich was not a "good candidate" because he said only 4 good candidates left the race.

They need a muzzle on that guy.

[Muttocracy]

61. hmm, sounds like it

"We just have to turn over a new leaf. And it is actually an advantage not to have any experience because then you never made anybody mad."

Is mad the word that comes to mind for people's reaction to Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Edwards, or Kucinich? No, that's the word about how many people react to the Clintons. If it was linked to experience, B, D, R, and K would have it WORSE than Hillary.

If Bill cares so much, why wasn't he campaigning for one of the real experience candidates back in December????

[JVS]

9. How dumb does he think the public is?

[chascarrillo]

12. OMGWTF

My brain hurts.

[City Lights]

14. Bill isn't helping his wife. He really should consider stuffing a sock in it.

[Whisp]

15. good lord what as ass he's become. lol.

or maybe he always was one and I didn't notice.

:rofl:

[Faygo Kid]

16. I think this is sad. He's an ex-president in an unfamiliar role, and he's not dealing with it well.

Bill Clinton loves the give and take of campaigns, but he's tarnishing his presidential legacy (which should have been better, admittedly) by his mudrolling.

This isn't what an ex-president could do best. I liked his move to Harlem and much of his work for the poor, but he's not distinguishing himself here.

[MannyGoldstein]

20. This Is His Worst Nightmare

He sees it as a referendum on his presidency - and he's losing.

[TwilightGardener]

29. You're right, I think Bill-n-Hill never really contemplated what it would

mean if they actually lost--to another DEMOCRAT. I don't think they thought it was possible, frankly--and now Bill is feeling his power slipping away, along with his image as head of the party.

[pdxmom]

32. I thought this little article really showed the desperation the campaign, and

Bill particularly, is feeling.

[juajen]

39. I'm not at all sure that Obama is a democrat.

I wonder how all of you would like it if we slaughtered Michelle Obama the way you're slaughtering Bill Clinton?

[MannyGoldstein]

44. Has Michelle Obama Used "Fairy Tale" To Describe Visions Of Clinton?

Has Michelle Obama engaged in race baiting? Has Michelle Obama attacked the Clintons at all?

[Laurab]

57. Is Michelle Obama an ex-President?

That's the biggest thing for me - he has a HUGE audience. I used to love Bill, and now I think he's an ass.

[creeksneakers2]

100. Yeah

Michelle said blacks should vote for Obama because he's black.

[Tarheel_Dem]

116. Link? (eom)

[creeksneakers2]

119. Michelle Obama stumps to sway black women to ......

But at the core of her message in South Carolina is her argument that Obama, more than Clinton, former North Carolina senator John Edwards or any other presidential candidate, will do more for blacks because he understands them better.

Ask yourselves," she admonished the crowd at South Carolina State, "who will fight to lift black men up so we don't have to keep locking them up? Who will confront racial profiling? Voter disenfranchisement?"

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/21909.html

[Tarheel_Dem]

121. and you find something wrong with that?

i agree with her. god knows, no other president has worked on those things. they just want our votes every four years, and screw you in between. good for michelle.

[creeksneakers2]

123. I don't find anything wrong with it

Hillary appeals to women too. I just answered a post that said she didn't, I said she did, you said prove it and I did.

What does (eom) stand for?

[Tarheel_Dem]

125. so we're agreed that every candidate plays to the audience they're

addressing? Remember the infamous "Ah don't feel noways tired". Hillary was addressing her black audience in SC. I just wanted to be clear that Michelle wasn't doing anything any other campaign is doing.

(eom)=end of message

[grantcart]

45. slaughter Bill - you haven't been reading the posts

We want to take a collection and put him on cable 24 hours a day. It would create a landslide for Obama and the revenue from the commercials would be sweet. Everybody loves a train wreck.

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. do you mean here on this board, or in the m$m?

do what you feel you need to, but as you can see, the clinton camps attacks only seem to have bolstered obama's campaign/popularity? nice tactic, if you can get away with it...a "roll of the dice", if you will.

[blm]

56. We KNOW Bill is a Bushprotector - something that bothers you not at all.

http://consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.html

Bill has GREAT timing defending Bush for 3 focking weeks straight in 2004:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/19/clinton.iraq/

[Yael]

63. Michelle Obama isn't lobbying verbal nukes

She is campaigning FOR her husband, not AGAINST a candidate.

Believe me -- people pick up the difference between a positive message and a negative one.

[gateley]

109. Excellent -- and accurate -- distinction. nt

[XemaSab]

77. Michelle Obama is not running for president

nor is she a former president.

[Tatiana]

78. Sounds suspiciously like that "Wes Clark is a republican!" meme from so long ago. n/t

[milkyway]

114. Obama isn't a Democrat? Talk about a sore loser.

[earthlover]

35. Bingo!

I actually want to feel sorry for him. He was a good president in many ways, and he is brilliant. So it is sad seeing him being so inept for his wife's cause. Except that it is hard to feel sorry for someone who is acting so mean-spirited as he has been doing the past month or so. I feel a great sense of loss for the respect i once had for the man.

[Dinger]

128. Well, Maybe He Just Loves His Wife

Love can make people do things they regret. Sound familiar to anyone?

[gerrilea]

18. I just read the link and it doesn't make much sense except

As a headline grabber...were did all of you Clinton haters come from? Did you all forget the 8 years of prosperity we all enjoyed? Or how the Country felt as a whole...I was proud to be an American then with Bill as my President!

God Willing, HRC will do the same when she's in the White House...most likey she will do more for us...she has the experience and the abilities...

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. contrary to what you believe, i don't think the majority of us here

are "clinton haters" as you say. We're commenting on what was once a brilliant statesman, now reduced to beating up members of his own party, for his wife's political gain. and in retrospect, the big dawg's policies (nafta, the telecommunications act, welfare reform, etc) as it turns out, weren't all that great afterall.

i adored bill clinton the statesman, however i deplore bill clinton the campaigner.

[gerrilea]

58. I wish more people would have the respect and common sense

you stated...It makes sense...

I didn't agree with nafta or the tele comm act......but had I really been paying attention back then...I would have been outraged...but the internet was young and the only sources of news was the MSM...welfare reform had to happen and I agreed with it...

Who said that Politics had to be nice anyways...or fair...

If Bill did anything less for his wife I would be ashamed of him...currently I think some of his stuff is blown out of proportion by the MSM and it's reguritated here on the DU...

But thanks for posting something concrete here...not ranting how bad he is...now

[iilana X]

19. I thought Bill Clinton was a smart man and a skilled politician.

But he has been bad for Hillary's campaign. He's sinking her. Could he be subconsciously rejecting the idea of his wife being POTUS?

[TheDoorbellRang]

65. That's what I'm wondering

And he's also not helping out by giving a glimpse of what he'll be like if she does get elected. Just seems like he has a hard time letting her have the limelight instead of him. A shame, really.

[pdxmom]

67. Gosh, based on the campaign, can you imagine what would happen

in regards to foreign policy, if Bill was let off the leash as "First Gentleman"? He'd evidently do anything to keep the attention on himself.

[TheDoorbellRang]

70. Yes. It seems very strange

I never did care for Bill, but I did respect his extraordinary schmoozing abilities. It just doesn't make sense that he makes one gaffe another another. If somehow she does become prez I hope he gets over it.

[iilana X]

91. Yeah, a shame. She is a smart woman but Bill isn't making her look like much of a leader. n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

21. Young people are kinda young. I hear this every dozen years or so

And yes, it's as tiresome to us as it is to you. Experience counts - and there is no wrong kind of experience. I've learned as much from my mistakes as my victories.

[pocoloco]

62. Can't see where voting for the IWR was that great of an experience?

[Fredda Weinberg]

99. Actually, you're making my case for me. You see the experience as a

negative ... I point out your candidate hasn't been tested for fortitude. Of course, HRC took measure of the landscape before casting her vote - I was impressed at the time, although I opposed it publicly.

[gateley]

111. But I don't feel Hillary learned from her mistake of trusting and believing

Bush when she voted for the IWR. Otherwise she wouldn't have voted for Kyl-Lieberman.

[pdxmom]

22. This is the section that I found particularly telling:

"Clinton went on to tout -- at length -- his own speech-making abilities, as if to one-up the crowds of tens of thousands appearing at Obama's rallies in recent weeks. "I've been told I give a pretty good speech," he said, grinning. He mentioned attendance of over a million at a speech in Africa, and over 100,000 when he spoke at the Brandenburg Gate after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

"I know the importance of words and inspiration," he said. "

So, speeches are bad, unless Bill does them. They aren't important if Obama uses inspiring words...only if a Clinton utters them. The arrogance is a wondrous thing to see.

[K Gardner]

24. oh... my.

[Kittycat]

36. Bill is jealous

Bill is so insistent on being the best, and he views Obama as a threat - taking the torch away, so to speak. Instead of embracing him, he's comparing how many people show up for his speeches?!?!

[grantcart]

51. remember when they were saying that Bill was getting into Obama's head

Obama makes a couple of remarks about RR and Bill hasn't been the same since. CNN ticker "Obama doesn't appreciate my legacy" lol

[juajen]

40. I saw nothing wrong with what he said.

Ya'll are just overbearing zealots.

[pdxmom]

49. Seriously? Based on Hillary's stump speech now saying that talk is

cheap and now we have Bill saying how words are inspirational, as long as they are his words? You don't see any dissonance in that?

[Tarheel_Dem]

42. i also hear a little sadness in those words....

it's as if he sees his legacy being overshadowed by this relative newcomer, and he's trying to relive his glory days vicariously through hillary? it's kinda sad really.

[formernaderite]

59. I heard a clip of him on a knoxville radio station asking people to vote for him

obviously a freudian slip..lol But I swear, I'm starting to feel sorry for Hillary...not enough to want her to win mind you.

[gateley]

112. I heard about that. I thought it was kind of telling. nt

[creeksneakers2]

101. Bill said that?

Bill said speeches are bad unless he does them? No. Why act like he did? Why do Hillary haters have to make stuff up all the time if she's such a terrible person?

[anigbrowl]

105. That scores pretty high on the irny scale...

considering the Berlin Wall fell during the presidency of Bush41, and arguably had a lot to do with the Reagan/Bush administrations being willing to spend the USSR into the ground and cause it to go bankrupt. It is actually to Bush41's credit that the Societ bloc crumbled in fairly peaceful fashion and he didn't engage in public triumphalism or something.

So for BIll Clinton to pat himself on the back for speaking to so many people at the Brandenburg gate, when the Berlin wall fell during a GOP administration...that's pretty lame. In that particular case, Bill was in the right place at the right time, and can't take any credit for the historical developments.

[tekisui]

23. Keep it up, Bill. You'll be back to making big bucks for your speeches in no time.

And not as the First Man.

[TwilightGardener]

25. Oh Jesus. Now Obama is to blame for being a savagely good candidate.

HIs wife only barely managed to escape Obama's evil powers of successful campaigning. Go away, Bill, you have grown tiresome.

[dave29]

26. I'll say it again -- Bill doesn't want Hillary to be President

the only question is whether it is a conscious choice on his part to wreck her candidacy.

[GoldieAZ49]

27. Oh GAWD this is funny! and the posters comments here too

checked the link and found this last line hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

"I know the importance of words and inspiration," he said.

He should splain it to Hillary.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MoJoWorkin]

46. That line needs make it's way to the campaign.

Obama could say, even Bill said he knows the importance of words and inspiration.....

Of course, I am sure that the campaign has people who do nothing but keep up with all that stuff.

[creeksneakers2]

102. Great idea!

Obama should take Bill's words out of context and twist them to mean something else! That would show everybody what a hope inducing unifier Obama is!

:sarcasm:

[Tarheel_Dem]

117. oh please give it up! it has to be exhausting for you guys repeatedly

having to tell us what Bill "really meant" when it's as plain as the nose on your face. Bill happens to be one of the most skilled politicians in this nation's history, he knows the value of words...you know like what the meaning of "is" is. He doesn't say anything without thinking about it carefully.

Nobody has to twist his words to figure out his intent. :eyes:

[creeksneakers2]

126. Is is the present tense of the verb to be

Bill had to explain that to grand jury inquisitors who demanded to know why Clinton didn't jump up and object when his own lawyer said "Mr. Clinton IS not having an affair with Monica Lewinsky." Like Bill was supposed to anxiously and voluntarily provide self incriminating information to witch hunters against the advice of his own lawyers to make sure that while his lawyers statements were true that they didn't omit any culpability.

That's what IS is. A right wing witch hunter slime job.

[Prefer]

30. Don't Mess with Big Dog!!!

[kipmurr]

31. The MSM's early coronation of Obama

pretty much did in a lot of candidates. Edwards and Richardson were totally ignored.

[Inuca]

54. Obama got attention, true, but

the one that was coronated all of last year was Hillary, the inevitable one.

[Adelante]

71. That one didn't last long

RIP

[gateley]

113. ....

:rofl:

[Tatiana]

33. They should have never let the (Big) Dog out!

He is pissing all over Hillary's campaign.

[peace13]

34. That is odd because the video I saw

had Hillary and Edwards with their heads together. Go figure. Peace, Kim

[lapfog_1]

37. "Solutions you can believe in..."

[grantcart]

52. getting ready for day one?

[NC_Nurse]

38. Keeping helping Obama, Bill.

You're really good at making the case for him. :-)

[Inuca]

47. How long ago was the interview he gave before Maine?

~ 10 days? When he said that he will no longer attack, just sing Hillary's praise. Maybe the quotes in the linked article are out of context, I do not know, but some of the statements are almost worrisome in their lack of sense and inconsistency.

[MzShellG]

48. It seems so difficult for Bill to accept that the Clinton era is over.

He ego is sooooo bruised.

[BeyondGeography]

53. Just retire, Bill

There's a whole slew of third-rate dictators out there waiting to be charmed out of their money. And you can say it was all for charity.

Duty calls.

[Raine]

60. Keeping talking Bill

and your mouth will talk Obama right into the nomination. :evilgrin:

[Yael]

64. GO BILL GO !!!

:woohoo:

[karynnj]

66. That is crazy - they dropped out because they were not winning

Though one candidate did opt not to run because he was stabbed in the back ..... by HRC. Who does he intent to win with this rhetoric? I am so tired of Bill Clinton - glad he continues to remind me why I dislike him.

Rather ironic when HRC planned for the race to over on SuperTuesday with only her as a candidate. (Also this is normal - this time last year - only Kuchinich and Edwards were still in with Kerry and neither had a real chance to win.)

[LadyVT]

68. Yay, Bill!

His point being that if Obama weren't in the race, Edwards still would be. Of course.

[loveangelc]

69. Bill Clinton is not helping his wife's campaign at all imo. I hope he keeps it up :-D

[Adelante]

73. I hope the Obama campaign is paying him

A fair wage :)

[David Zephyr]

75. This video shows who wanted to eliminate the other candidates. Bill Clinton needs to keep quiet.

Once again a simple video shows who wanted to eliminate the other candidates. And it wasn't Obama.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwgLlDbwNwU&feature=related

[jackson_dem]

76. It isn't as if Obama's campaign's aides told the press they "hoped" a candidate would be eliminated

[David Zephyr]

79. Who will you believe? A videotape or one of Bill's stories?

Video with the audio?

Or faith in Bill's stories?

[ErnestoG]

80. Holy shit. He's officially thrown a rod...

[JVS]

85. excellent

:mrburns:

[madrchsod]

83. it`s all about him

i`m starting to feel sorry for her...she`s had penn and doyle bankrupt her campaign and her husband undermining what is left of her creditability. from a very large lead before iowa to losing...i`m sorry hillary, it`s about judgments..

[loveangelc]

84. I hope this story really gets picked up haha.

BILL CLINTON = JOKE.

[Franks Wild Years]

86. It's kind of poignant.

He's the stubborn old man, so unfathomably out of touch with the modern world, one whose mouth will always get him into trouble given half a chance. His time has long gone, and his relevance fades further into the blue yonder with every passing moment. I just hope that after the Clintons remove themselves from this race that they are able to accept their failure and seek redemption by doing all they can to help make sure our Democratic candidate emerges victorious in the race for the White House this year.

[Az_lefty]

88. Bill Clinton, along with the rest of his family, are becoming a total embarrassment.

he needs to STFU!

[AZBlue]

89. Dear God.

I'm very saddened by the behavior of Bill Clinton lately. I used to be a fan. It's really disappointing. This has nothing to do with Barack and Hillary - this has to do with a bubble being burst and an admired person being shown to be quite unworthy of that admiration. I feel like I had the wool pulled over my eyes - ah well, disillusionment happens to the best of us.

[Skwmom]

90. He's probably filling Edward's head with this spin.

[Danger Mouse]

94. I'm glad that Bill Clinton has recognized the true evil that is Barack HUSSEIN!!! Obama.

YOU MUST BOW TO OBAMA. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED...

:crazy:

[zulchzulu]

96. Don't expect logic with the Clintons in their battle against their own legacy

Bill is slickly blaming Obama for giving a good speech,

which he brags about his own speech giving talents himself,

over solutions (which his wife doesn't really have on her own),

except for the solutions he made (like NAFTA, DOMA, Telecommunications Act, China free trade, etc.),

which she conveniently disagrees with now (except that she is on record agreeing with),

and thinks it might just be a "generational thing",

thus alienating the younger voters coming into the Democratic Party fold,

and making is YET ANOTHER CONVINCING ARGUMENT that the Clintons are all about themselves,

and are stunningly brilliant at being DIVISIVE...

Bill, you forget to mention that Obama was like Jesse Jackson and that you were ALWAYS against the war...

:puke:

[knowledgeispwr]

97. What has happened to Bill?

He's ruining his reputation with the comments he keeps making. It really doesn't make sense. It's like he now has a political tin ear.

[Colobo]

98. Bill Clinton is acting like a jerk. Not that I believe he is one, but he's acting like one.

[DemGa]

104. That's not what he said. I don't know why this is so hard to understand

He's talking about Obama's embrace of the "negatives" created by the right-wing attacks--and he's dead on. You Obamas on this board think you have better political sense than Bill Clinton? You don't even understand the article!

"If you fought you made somebody mad, and you got cut up," he said, parodying what he says is Obama's "explicit argument" against Clinton. "We just have to turn over a new leaf. And it is actually an advantage not to have any experience because then you never made anybody mad."

Clinton added that the strategy of equating experience with the taint of partisan injury "has been very effective in this campaign."

"It has already taken four candidates out, four good candidates out," he said. "And it would have taken Hillary out if she didn't have so much grassroots support and so much guts in the face of a lot of what has happened here. "

[creeksneakers2]

106. Bill didn't say anything like what you claim he said

This is just another cheap word twisting slime attack against Bill.

Bill says speeches and hope aren't enough to create change. He's right. The part about the other candidates was just admitting that Obama's strategy of selling hope as a solution and fighting as wrong worked for him so far.

Bill never said speeches are bad. He said speeches aren't enough by themselves.

He never said young people are dumb. He said generations keep score differently and he uses the old fashioned method of measuring success.

Its all just the same inspiration versus experience argument that's been going on the whole time. And as always, the same slime attacks always launched against the Clintons.

[ShortnFiery]

110. IMO, Bill Clinton is NOW an embarrassment to our Country. Send him on an golfing trip with POPPY?

:shrug:

[milkyway]

115. Bill used to give good speeches, but his speeches are terrible now. His long-winded,

dull speeches look like they were putting people to sleep in NH.

[dcindian]

118. Just another Clinton lie

Someone tell me why we should trust these lying Clintons to run the country again? It was Clinton and Edwards who conspired to stop democracy by not including the other candidates in the debates thereby marginalizing them in the media.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

120. Why oh why is he doing this again?

Every time he goes on the attack he becomes a distraction and, deservedly or not, the press makes it All About Bill Clinton for another news cycle or two. This is entirely predictable at this point.

[Skidmore]

124. What an idiotic statement to make.

It's an election, Bill! It means that someone wins and someone loses!

[HeraldSquare212]

127. Dear Bill: Other candidates leaving the race is the objective.
