Bill Clinton Praises Two GOP Candidates
GOP presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman received some unsolicited praise from a former president today, though it might not be from the one they were hoping for. In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, former President Bill Clinton lauded the two former governors for addressing climate change on the stump.
When Blitzer asked Clinton to list the candidates he liked and the ones he was concerned about, the former president said: ” Well, it appears that Gov. Huntsman and Gov. Romney, at least, have not come out in just flat out denial of climate change. It appears that Gov. Huntsman said he supported the compromise to raise the debt ceiling because America couldn’t afford the economic consequences.
“So what I hear you saying is you’d be happier if Romney or Huntsman got the nomination than Rick Perry?” Blitzer asked.
Clinton said: “Well, it’s not up to me to pick. They’ll both lose if anybody thinks I’ve endorsed them. I’m just saying that I appreciate the fact that, that they’re trying to navigate a landscape that bears almost no relationship to what’s produced successful economies in the world. And there are lots of countries that are now doing better than we are in some areas because of the very ideas that apparently you have to support to get the nomination.”

Who cares neither should or will never be the nominee, so KKKlinton is just blowing smoke out his butt.
Bill Clinton. Media darling, spokesman for the democrat party and rapist.
Perhaps Clinton is hoping that they will let him have some magic underware.
If Bubba likes them, then they are Closet Liberals.
“....Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman received some unsolicited praise from a former president today....”
.
Not much of an endorsement.
Personally I hope Huntsman is not going to be on the Thurday debate. And he can take Ron Paul with him.
I knew which two Clinton was referencing before I read the story...
Wow! Romney has now been praised by both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The world should listen. LOL
“Bill Clinton Praises Two GOP Candidates”
And this should immediately disqualify these two from any further consideration for the nomination.
Reading the title, for some reason, I had no trouble guessing which two candidates Slick Willy liked.
Hey Bill....put some ice on it!
Bubba thinks Hillary can beat Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.
So far Clinton and Carter have openly said they like Romney. They must think Perry can’t beat Obama.
Man. This guy never shuts up. Go away crumb.
What a low classnik.
Your Presidency stunk. You benefitted from the tech bubble and the fact that some fiscal sanity was forced on you by the Republicans.
You left us in a more dangerous position than when you came in.
You treated the biggest Jew killer since Hitler like he was a misbegotten Ghandi. You elevated him to a position of legitimacy. You emboldened the terrorists.
You are a no good person.
Step off the stage. Get out of here.
I really HATE it when Bill Clinton leaves it, I mean us, hanging. Bob
Bill & Jimmy both? That seals it! Romney/Huntsman 2012! /s
Surprise, surprise. Carter and Clinton likes Romney. He’s hinting to those ‘rats who will vote in the primary - vote for Romney. The good old boys network in your face.
Since both of these "candidates" are really democrats, I can see why the former sexual-predator and perjurer would endorse them . . . I hope they're both ashamed of his endorsement.
