Why Bill Clinton Works to Undermine Barack Obama

COMMENTARY | Former President Bill Clinton appears to be playing a game that is calculated to embarrass the current president, Barack Obama, whom it is reported he has despised since the 2008 campaign.

First, according to Big Government, Clinton appeared on the Piers Morgan show and slammed theObama campaign's attack on Mitt Romney's tenure as the CEO of Bain Capital. He is just the latest high-profile Democrat to so. Then, Clinton went to Wisconsin for a get-out-the-vote effort in advance of the recall election, the Chicago Tribune reports. President Obama has studiously avoided venturing to Wisconsin, concluding as have most people that the attempt to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker is doomed to failure.

Clinton has not been so reticent. It is a win/win situation for him. If by some miracle Walker should fall, it will be seen as entirely due to Clinton's last-minute efforts. If Walker prevails, Clinton will get kudos from big labor and other Democrats for at least trying while the president stayed away.

The new book about Obama, "The Amateur," was recently excerpted in the New York Post. The excerpt depicts how Clinton, fuming with rage at Obama since 2008, attempted to persuade his wife, Hillary, to challenge Obama this year. The secretary of state demurred, but the account illustrates the lengths to which Clinton would go to exact revenge on the president.

And well he might. It is not just the humiliations Obama visited on Hillary Clinton during the last campaign that has enraged the former president. While the Clinton presidency was entertaining from a tabloid standpoint, it was mostly a successful one, especially when Newt Gingrich became speaker of the House in the 1994 takeover of Congress and thus provided some much-needed adult supervision. Clinton sees the ruin that Obama has caused the country and the Democratic Party, and must wail and gnash his teeth at night.

Clinton torments himself with the what-might-have-been of a Clinton restoration, with President Hillary Clinton in the White House, advised by her "First Bubba." Both, at least in Clinton's imagining, the economy and the world situation would be better than in the present timeline. Clinton will have been four years as a gray eminence, albeit as far from holy orders as one can get, and confidently looking forward to four more.

Clinton is a demi-god to the democrats and he even agrees with the right that the man is horrible for this nation. When will the left get thier heads out of the sand and see what is, is.

With that said I saw a bumper sticker that sums up how I feel today and that is..."Anyone but Obama" so the left attacking Mitt Romney has no bearing on a whole lot of people out there for anyone but obama is what we are voting for.

 

It goes from "sums up how I feel" to "I saw a bumper sticker" and than concludes with "the left attacking Mitt Romney has no bearing on a whole lot of people out there" yada yada... How did you come to the conclusion that a whole lot of people out there must feel the way you do based on seeing one bumper sticker that is pretty much the epitome of partisan idiocy?

With logic like that, is it any wonder these people are manipulated so easily? Is this what you really meant to say Andy? Do you stand by this post or would you like to take another crack at what you really mean?

 

Virtually everyone I talk to has the same feeling - ANYONE BUT OBAMA!

 

Mark Whittington is hardly a neutral observer, considering how he was fantasizing last year about a "President Palin." His blather about how Bill Clinton is "seeking revenge" on President Obama kind of falls flat when Clinton goes on the campaign trail for Obama and says that Romney would be calamitous for the U. S.

By the way, I guess it's a good thing that nobody here was holding their breath waiting for a Romney supporter to list all the reasons he would be a good president. It seems like the only point in his favor that anybody here can come up with is "he's not Obama."

 

Yeah, virtually!

 

That sounds exactly like all of Romney's other endorsements.

 

Try to keep your enthusiasm for Romney is check there buddy.

 

Your mom and your dog said what?

 

Multiple personalities really do come in handy.

 

Finally, someone here extols Romney's virtues...Oh wait!

 

The only praise of Romney anyone can come up with is a criticism of Obama.

 

George Bush?

 

Clinton has to show some support for his wife is a cabinet member never mind that he is the eldest statesman for the Democrat party. What speaks volumes is that Clinton is saying things against Obama. I even heard him on a golf show defending Donald Trump and placing obama in a poor light.

As for Romeny, at least there are Independents and Republicans that are not blinded by party lines and are saying we are not in love with this guy, that this guy is not our guy but we will vote for him for anybody has to be better then obama. The whole thing from my point of view just reflects what a sad state the American politic system is in today. Too much outside undocumented money flowing into it from overseas.

 

Clinton seems to be speaking for many leading dims when he criticizes & lampoons BO

 

LOL! OMG, this is some good rhetoric. "Keep us safe from terrorists?" lol Bush never had anything to do with it but pour the credit on now! lol

Re-read your post again. Now I ask, is there A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G B.O. could have done so far that you would not have been able to justify or rationalize for us here?? Is there any possible thing you would take exception to? Because you're starting to scare me now.

I'm at least willing to admit that I don't know if Romney deserves my loyalty. I've decided that I'm willing to give him a chance for the sake of change. Sometimes a change that is perceived as being good can spark things for the better, whether it physically helps anything or not. If he fails, I will be looking for a replacement next time around along with you. But I'm not going to decide from the get-go that he deserves a free pass, no matter what happens.

Your post says a whole lot, without really saying anything. If that's "rallying the troops", this election is surely up for grabs.

 

A few points. First, you want me to credit Bush with keeping us safe from terrorists? As you say, LOL! OMG! Didn't he preside over the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor? Or have you just forgotten the 3000 dead Americans from 9/11? Oh yeah, I forgot, 9 months into Bush's first term was Clinton's fault and 3 1/2 years into Obama's term the lack of attacks on the U.S. is credited to Bush. Bush, the guy who gave up looking for Bin Laden, the guy who took our focus off of Afghanistan to start a personal war with Hussein in Iraq for no reason they could stick to. To put it in your words "is there A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G B.O. Bush could have done so far that you would not have been able to justify or rationalize for us here??" You guys have been scaring me for quite a while.

You gave Bush a chance for the sake of change and how'd that work out? Romney is no different than Bush and probably worse. 17 of Romney's 24 foreign policy advisors are directly from the failed foreign policy debacle of the Bush Administration. Some change. Tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires did nothing to create jobs for Bush so Romney is proposing we do it again. Some change. If you liked Bush (and you certainly seem to like the biggest presidential failure in modern history) you'll love Romney but please don't talk about change. It just isn't reality.
