Used to be you couldn't always tell when Bill Clinton was SHOVELING THE SHIT...

[polichick]

But now it's plain as day.

Are you catching that clip of the Big Dog saying you shouldn't be in politics if you don't want to get beaten up???

Wonder if he'll change his tune now that Hillary got beaten up in the polls for that kind of thinking.

[mcctatas]

1. I'm a little bitter that my idealist crush on the big dog has been

shattered. He was the first president I was really "aware" of, the first I voted for, and now he just makes me sad:(

[SoFlaJet]

4. we ALL loved and defended the Clintons mcctatas

vociferously, for YEARS

[dchill]

16. Me, too. And what do we get for it?

Maneur.

[polichick]

7. It's really disappointing...

But I don't know if I'm more disappointed in him for changing, or in me for ever buying his lines.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Sure, because now you hate him and want to believe he lies everytime he opens his mouth.

[polichick]

13. I don't hate him - I actually feel sorry for both Clintons...

...it's not fun to watch them behaving this way.

[bigtree]

3. I'm almost certain I heard this same sentiment about Bill Clinton expressed

by his hapless republican opponents in their right-wing generated smears of the Clintons in the '90's. How refreshing to have that nonsense recreated here in our Democratic refuge.

[SoFlaJet]

9. I read the OP's premise differently

that she (or he) is saddened by the way this campaign is turning out-making half the party really lose respect for the Clinton's with these kitchen sink tactics

[bigtree]

17. concerned, huh?

yup. No similar concern for the Obama camp's attacks? Thought not.

[polichick]

24. If Obama one day becomes something completely different...

...than what we thought we were working for ~ I'll post something similar. I worked for Bill Clinton's campaigns, and now I don't know if I was conned or if he's changed ~ but I sure wouldn't have worked for THIS guy.

[dchill]

18. It's sad that we believed him...

and sadder that you still do.

[Bonobo]

5. Just watch that crooked pointer finger of his.

[JuniperLea]

6. I can pick on him for many things he's said recently, but not this...

He is right. And obviously he said this AFTER Hillary has been picked on quite a bit during her campaign. During his campaign and both terms too!

He is absolutely right about this. The election process, by design or by flaw, fully vets the candidates. As it should be, so it shall be.

[FrenchieCat]

8. When Bill Said that we were all about arguing.......that really, really turned me off.....

that's what he's into maybe. Me, I prefer taking care of the people's business, and when not doing that, talking about the people's business.

[polichick]

15. I was glad to see a clip of Obama saying something similar!

[WinkyDink]

10. Eight years. Obama HOPES to match it.

[Cha]

12. 8 years and then the bushits took over..

Obama is better than bil even without bil's bimbo distractions.

[chascarrillo]

22. And, thanks to Clinton, six years of ultrasolid GOP majorities in the House and Senate.

I don't want a return to that. kthxbye

[Cha]

11. They didn't call him Slick Willy for nothing..

Pretty ironic shit since hilary's the one who's hoisted on her very own petard.

[polichick]

14. Do you think they were always this ruthless and fake??

[FrenchieCat]

23. Hard to tell.......

but the Repugs did try to have him impeached. Maybe there was stuff that we just weren't seeing......cause they were smiling in our faces.

But when you actually review the track record of what got passed and what didn't during that administration, and you remember the image below....maybe we just didn't want to see it.

[polichick]

26. Wow, you're right about that picture...

Funny though, back then I decided Bill was the real deal when he put Al Gore (someone I really admired) on the ticket ~ at least I still believe in Gore!

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Wow! You've learned well.

That was one of the freepers favor pic of Big Dog.

[polichick]

28. Wow, you're an idiot if you can't see the ugly truth in that picture.

[Catherine Vincent]

31. It's a fugging picture. Try watching the full video.

And you're the idiot.

[polichick]

32. Most people don't need to reference a video for that particular moment in history.

[Catherine Vincent]

34. Oh bull.

I remember exactly what was said and why he reacted that way during the snapshot of that video.

[Cha]

30. In a word YES...and I'm only finding out

lately. But, it's all documented I just wasn't paying attention.

They've just been practicing all those years to unleash on Obama but he can handle it!

[polichick]

33. Yes, he can handle it - and the new poll numbers show voters can too!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. It's hard to repaint self interest as something other than what it

is. You can put lipstick on a pig but in the end you still have a pig. This statement shall not be misconstrued to mean anything more or less than exactly what is states. This is not a personal attack on anyone, it strictly means that you can dress up what you are trying to do with your words and deeds, but when your own start to back away, it's time to think about what you are doing and try to get back on the high road, but please don't inhale....heh. :)

[DrFunkenstein]

20. Playing Victim Tuesday, Barroom Thug Wednesday

It is hilarious (no pun intended).

[polichick]

29. Lol - I hope it's not that scripted!

[Cha]

35. Hey, it worked in

New Hampshire..they're desperately ransacking their bag of tricks to come up with another winning ploy.

[Life Long Dem]

21. Speaking of beating up.

He isn't exactly handling arguments well himself. He stuck his finger in the face of an Obama supporter where he was brushing the supporters face with his pointing finger. This went on for a few minutes.

:wow:

[Life Long Dem]

25. Here is the video which someone already posted.

Bill Clinton "Hits" Obama Supporter in the Face...
