Former President Bill Clinton said his wife Hillary Clinton needs time to think about her message to voters would be is she runs for president in 2016.
She "really does need some time to think through this, now that her memoir Hard Choices has been published, he said in an interview with CNN.
"We've reached a point in our life when we think you really shouldn't run for office if you don't have a clear idea of what you can do and a unique contribution you can make and you can outline that," Clinton added. "Now that the book is done, she wants time to think about that and work through it. I think so much of politics is background noise, and we don't need the background noise anymore."
Clinton, who claimed Hillary hasnt asked him for advice on her 2016 decision, said he would be fine with whatever decision she makes after the sacrifices she has made for his career.
The 42nd president highlighted his wifes abilities to lead the country.
"She is the ablest public servant I have ever worked with, even if she is my wife," Bill Clinton said. "She's smart, but she's also uncannily able to move from A to B to C. She gets things done and she is strong, she's just good, she is just really good. She would be really good. But it's a decision that only she can make, and I'm not going to try to jump the gun and if she decides not to do it, I'll be happy too."
Commenting on the dead broke comment his wife made in June, Clinton said the criticism that came out of that about his wife being out of touch was fabricated and shows you how desperately, sadly we are dependent on a new level of political gossip every week.
"Most people would think that being 16 million dollars in debt would qualify as being dead broke," Clinton said, referring to a number CNN said is higher than the $2.28 million to $10.6 million figure that was cited on their federal financial records.
"I don't think it's a bad thing to make money," Clinton said. "I think it's bad if you live in a system that's rigged against the poor and the middle class. That's a very different thing and the purpose of politics is to create a system of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities."
And, don’t forget, “proceeds” from “book sales” don’t fall under Election Commission “Rules”....
Hillary is such a money-grubber...
Bubba is just drooling over the thought of a new crop of interns......
LAUGH BREAK House Democrats' committee sitting on $40M fund
Pioneer Press ^ | 4-16-14 | Philip Elliott / FR Posted by TurboZamboni
WASHINGTON (AP) Donors gave more than $10 million in March to the committee tasked with electing House Democrats and helped it amass a $40 million fund (that they admit to) to fight skepticism that Republicans can be ousted from their majority in November.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $10.3 million in March, putting it atop the fundraising contest among party-directed campaign committees. That sum also outpaced most three-month fundraising tallies released thus far from super PACs, which can accept unlimited donations. Donations to House Democrats' campaign committee are capped at $32,400.
THIS ONE IS TRULY HILARIOUS "The DCCC has sustained a blistering fundraising pace this election cycle because Americans are sick and tired of a Republican Congress that shut down our government and that is stacking the deck for the wealthiest while the middle class pays the price," said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who chairs the Democrats' House campaign arm. "Americans are hungry for a Congress that will buckle down and focus on creating jobs and strengthening the economy and that's why they're supporting the DCCC at record levels," he said in a statement.(Excerpt) Read more at twincities.com ...
==========================================
Just a coincidence that --- Obama/Harry Reid "mistakenly" put into an appropriation bill to buy aye votes for Obamacare.
==================================================
THE DETAILS: In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass Obamacare. He needed every Dimocrat on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage.
In Sen Mary Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars.
Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---not $200 million---but $4.3 billion for Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill.
===================================
Where'd the money go? Now we know.
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid connived to get it in there, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.
The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.....and how federal monies were laundered into the campaign coffers of Dummycrats.
Just like Ted Kennedy when he fumbled that question.
They keep the $$ story alive.
Good.
Bill Clinton just announced that either Hillary is not running after all, or he is signaling her *not* to run.
Bill sees the natives are obviously restless, that Hillary is coming off as arthritic and tired, and uninteresting “old news”, with a ho-hum record at State, at best.
The negative narrative coming out against Hillary, curiously from her own side, from the Leftist media, is going un-answered, which is far from the typical Clintonista “War Room” style that unfailingly brands every serious political initiative that ever comes from Hillary Clinton.
She is so grossly unprepared that even Elizabeth Warren is being begged to run, and now possibly Moonbeam” governor, Jerry Brown (CA), (who could trim Clinton’s big Hollywood money “get”, in California).
Nope, she isn’t going to run. Bill is seeding that message now, just in time to signal the Dems to get-a-clue, get busy, and find another nominee.
Hillary needs time to decide
Oh , are they drying her out again ?
AND WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER of 2014 and 2016..
and by the way...you say she needs time after ‘writing’ her latest book, now that is really funny since she had a ghost writer, and she was out on speaking events sending your personal group the bucks...you are just too funny Mr. FORMER PRESIDENT....
I think we should give Hillary and Bill time so she can work on her campaign. Why don’t they go to Siberia for 50 years.....we promise not to bother them, call them, write them, etc. during that time. Then after 50 years, Hillary can come forward with her “message” and she can be nominated for president. Heck, why 50, let’s give them 100 years of uninterrupted time. Please!!!
Indeed!!
Now that the book has bombed its not looking as easy peasy as it did before. My prediction and I have $5 and a pitcher of margaritas riding on it is that she won’t run. :-)
She’s just collecting millions of dollars that she will later register to run, then drop out and keep the dough under the tax laws.
Here’s what her winning message should be Bill:
Just run on her successes as NYS Senator, hey it worked for Seinfeld. It could be a campaign about nothing, no accomplishments.
From what Rush said, he’s graduated to supermodels who visit the top floor “love nest” at the Clinton Global Initiative HQ.
I'd like to see a list of arab donors from the UAE...
Write this down so I don't have to keep doing it, OK? The 2016 Democrat Ticket Line-up is as follows:
This is a win-win Democrat Ticket, because
(a) As the economy really tanks (You ain't seen nothin' yet!), they don't really want the WH.
(b) However, should the usual fraud + Women+Minorities+Latino Illegal vote come through and they sneak in, Joey Plugs will plotz right after his inauguration (hopefully for him, BEFORE Maya Angelou reads one of her doozies). The chronic infection from those hair plugs has got to catch up with him.
Michelle Robinson will by then have divorced Obama during the campaign on the Okrah Winfree Show, naming Larry S. and Reggie L. as co-respondents and thereby getting 81.2% of the female sympathy vote. With Joey Plugs assuming ambient temperature, Michelle will be sworn in as President.
Hillary will divorce Bill, who will "date" Michelle, who will name Hillary Chief Justice. With THREE Commie Lesbos on the Bench, the Obama Transformation will really take off. Barry will become head of the UN.
This has been carefully planned and financed by George Soros. I heard it when I was out drinking with John Boehner in Georgetown and George stopped by our table.
Memo Ping
Sure Hill and Bill, we will gladly give you time to think about it, how about a decision on or around 2024.
