On Midterm Stump, Clinton Is Defender in Chief

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — The last time Bill Clinton and Barack Obama spent so many hours on the campaign trail, dashing across the country to appear before adoring crowds, they were on different sides of the Democratic argument.

“But I want to tell you something,” he continued, waiting for the crowd to listen. “It is my professional opinion that he has done a much better job than he has gotten credit for so far. And all elections are about the future, so what is the alternative?”

-snip-

“If you’re a Democrat, you need to hold your head up,” Mr. Clinton said this week, delivering the pep talk of a coach who is disappointed with his team’s behavior. “I’m tired of reading about how we’re all belly-aching.”

The former president has become one of the party’s best salesmen.

-snip-

A decade after he was banished from the campaign trail — seen at the time as a liability to Vice President Al Gore’s presidential ambitions — Mr. Clinton is now the most sought-after Democrat...

-snip-

In Nevada, Mr. Clinton campaigned for Senator Harry Reid in June. (“Why would you give away the Senate majority leader who has delivered time and time and time again?” Mr. Clinton asked a crowd in Las Vegas.)

In Pennsylvania, as he appeared this month for Representative Joe Sestak in his Senate race, he warned about what could happen if Republicans win control of Congress. (“Give us two more years, and if we’re wrong, send us packing,” he argued.)

“He says just what we need to hear, and because he’s articulate, you can follow him and see the logic,” Ms. Gallam said. “He’s more at liberty now, and President Obama is really under the gun.”

There are many similarities between Braaack and Billy Goat.

Both were born fatherless, which makes them bastards. Both are chronic liars who loathe the military and both are lazy marxist dogs! Both had their tuitions paid for by 'secret admirers,'

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Sure, Zer0 HAS done a much better job of screwing things up than he has gotten credit for. When it becomes obvious to 99% of America including the MSM, Clinton will be hailed as a genius.

THIS is an example of Bill's magic on the stump?

Anyone but a rabid dem hearing that would think "Why wait? You've all done enough damage in these past 18 months."

Not having a WH AND Congress loaded to the gills with committed communists whose sole objective is the complete and total destruction of the United States. And, if "all elections are about the future", America's future is grim if we are unable to elect people to the Congress who know that their first obligation is to the voters and taxpayers, NOT the messiah!

Ironically, Abe Lincoln warned us that the greatest danger to America came not from enemies abroad, but from within. Bubba and Barry are proving him prescient . . . . . . . and spot on!!

Obozo has done as good a job as any person who spent most of his life out of the USA attending muslim schools and being indoctrinated to kill infidels. He has done his best despite the fact that he has had no training to even run a one-man hotdog stand. In short, this weasel has never worked a day in his life in a business that produces product and jobs.

He saw his duty clearly: destroy the great satan and he is doing so in ways that would appear fantastic to Mohammed if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s burning in hell.

The nation is in a much bigger mess than was Spain in 1936 when it became clear to most Spaniards that the central socialist government had to be brought down.

Since when did politicians get elevated to "professional" status?
