NYT: White House advisors totally surprised by Obama-Clinton press conference
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 10, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Oh, I’ll bet they were. Say what you will about Axe, Gibbsy, and the rest of the crew, but I’d like to think they have the basic political common sense to avoid photo ops where the president has to skip out after a minute or two to go eat gingerbread cookies.

I’d like to think The One had the same basic political common sense, but … we learn something new every day, don’t we?

The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.

Watch the video Obama is clueless but he gives Clinton that anti christ evil look AND slick willy does cue him to stay (Obama wanted to just high tail it out and is forced to stay.)

Even the MSM seems to be seeing what a train wreck Obama is

Slide it to 10:30 Obama crosses his arms (body language)
he is closed to what slick is saying and is nervous.

And to think his other option offered by O was Sec State. Thanks that he “didn’t like to travel”. What a way to run a railroad!

Obama picked up a rattlesnake, and it bit him.

I think O has fallen in love with Wallis Simpson and wants to spend the rest of their days together in quiet, contemplative seclusion.

“Yes, we are announcing that BHO is stepping down, but no - you don’t get Bubba. You get slo-jo Bidet instead.”


The thought that went through my mind was that the “Ultimate” in democrat dirty tricks at this moment would be for Obama to step down and Biden to announce that he had an incurable illness and that Pelosi was to become president and Reid would become her vice president.

Truly a terrifying thought. Let’s just hope that scenario never occurs.

When 0bama introduced Clinton he said Bubba would be speaking BRIEFLY. I forget the exact words but some form of brief was used.
So nobody can tell us this was a planned thing, never mind a master stroke.
And a few minutes in, Clinton gave him the brush-off. 0bama tried to break in and 42 went for the touchdown.
Ate the Kenyan’s lunch and stole his ice cream too, right there on national television.
Palin’s campaign commercials practically write themselves.

You are correct. I have always though he wouldn’t finish his first term. He has never had a job he didn’t quit in about two to three years.

Has it been disclosed just exactly what Obama and Clinton talked about in their meeting before the presser? There was a lot of secrecy about it. Rather than Clinton being there to advise Obama, was he perhaps SENT to deliver an ultimatum? His actions would seem to reinforce that, and it could explain why Obama acted the way he did, he already knew he was toast.

In other words 0bama was looking for brief and he went in there a boxer. A big dawg of a boxer who immediately took over and it showed. Skinny kid went into meant-to-do-that mode and left with his bloody nose in the air.

Good question. Supposedly, it was about the tax “deal” but it was supposed to be only a brief meeting, to get Clinton to announce his support for it, and Obama had nothing else on his official WH calendar for the day. To make it stranger, the press conference itself seems to have been purely impromptu, and Bambi’s sudden realization that he had a party (!) to go to also doesn’t seem to have been pre-planned.

I’ve been thinking about this all night because it is truly the strangest thing I’ve seen in my many decades of watching politics in this country. If nothing else, it definitely gives one the unnerving feeling that things are falling apart and spinning out of control and anything could happen now.

Obama could declare himself Master of the Universe and seize special powers, or Obama could simply pack it all in and announce that he’s found the US too constraining and now he’s going off to be head of the UN or of the Olympic Committee or who knows what, or Obama could just be carried out of the WH in a straight jacket after holding the Wookie hostage for a few hours and begging to speak to Hugo Chavez.

That said, I doubt that Bill will end up president again or that Hillary will get the job, even temporarily, but I am sure there are some wild and crazy things going on at Dem central right about now.

I think Bill had it right when he said to Obama “please go”... yes. PLEASE GO!
