Watching Obama and clinton press conference live on CNN. Obama tries to nudge Clinton off stage, you can even see him lower his shoulder to push his way in front of podium but clinton would not move. Finally after standing around looking like a child who's dad has to fix things, Obama pats clinton on the back and tries to save face by exiting the stage. clinton simply keeps on talking as if he is still president and a servant just left the room.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS!
Is there a video of this?
53 seconds of it are up at theblaze.com.
I don’t want him removed. He might be replaced by someone competent. Biden seems like a real nutcake but one doesn’t really know until after the change is made.
From post #50 of this thread:
Drudge has this link to the video of 0bama abdicating to go to his party:

Note how he tries to move his shoulder over but clinton actually moves toward him to keep him away from the podium.
And, from BunnySlippers’ new thread:

Thank you, RonDog.
It's not just a stage where this occurred, but a world stage. BC blatantly and definitely stole Obama's thunder.
I read something not long ago about why having the Speaker of the House as next in line after the Vice President is a bad idea for several reasons. It's up to Congress to set the order of succession and it would be better to go back to having the Secretary of State next after the VP (well, in general, maybe not right now given the trail of convenient mysterious deaths which followed in the Clintons' wake).
I suppose a Speaker who became Acting President could nominate a Vice President, and then resign after the VP was confirmed--but the Speaker would then have no job to go back to.
Late , just catching up.
Very true
The ice cream cone is a nice touch.
Well, Zero does bow and defer to out enemies, so.....
This has been one of the insane weeks in politics I ever remember.
Ha ha ha!!!!!!
Truly!
How are they taking it over at DU, or did their server explode?
DU has been in complete meltdown for weeks now. I almost pity these people. They really believed in the “I’m going to get my pony” by electing the bama.
Now they realize how bad they have been had and are in complete 5 stages of loss.
“Mr. President ...”
I think that’s polite, but it would have been more accurate to call him Mr. Clinton.
Notice that the seal didn't fall off the podium....heh heh heh
IIRC, George Washington was referred to as General Washington after he left office.
Um, yeah...make that a “shapely” woman.
