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!
Cavuto says Clintoon is still “holding court” at the podium...5pm EASTERN time...over thirty? minutes?
I’d almost be glad to have Bubba back.
That’s how bad it is.
Can’t wait to see how this one gets spun.
Thanks very much for the clarification; I jumped into the newscast after Obama left ... unbelievable ... so, so unbelievable
I didn’t catch the “nudge” part. I thought Obama just left as soon as the questions started. (Very lame)
The video clips will be very entertaining.
Scary. But fortunately we have the 22d Amendment: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice ... ." (Nor could Bill Clinton run as VP. Anyone ineligible to be President can be Vice President. That's per the final sentence of the 12th Amendment.)
Mark my words....this disquieting event won't even put a dent in Bozo's approval ratings.
But after Mr. Clinton began taking questions, the current president excused himself, saying that the first lady, Michelle, expected Mr. Obama’s presence at one of the many holiday parties that presidents host during the month of December.
“I’ve been keeping the first lady waiting,” Mr. Obama said, excusing himself.
“I don’t want to make her mad,” Mr. Clinton said. “Please go.”
This is bizarre...I think this is the end Barry’s term.
Drudge has this link to the video of 0bama abdicating to go to his party:

Make that next-to-last bit, “canNOT be Vice President.”
I watched the whole thing live.
Good God, I’ve never seen such a show of weakness in a sitting President.
Obama didn’t even want to be there. It looked like he wished he could just let Clinton be president for the rest of his term.
Seriously strange.
Reminds me of the way bubba refused to leave town when W was inaugurated.
Partying and press conferencing at the airport afterwards like people really wanted to see any more of him.
Two narcissists on the same stage - looks like obungler is an amateur about hogging the spotlight just as he is about everything else.
Of course, parties are more important to Obama than finishing a press conference. Shame on you, Obama. When you are the President, this country should come first.
Dueling narcissists
Yikes
Here’s hoping that Bill O gets Tanya Reinman (sp?) to do a body-language segment on this.
It looked like an abdication of the throne to me.
Hahaha! Clinton is the Alpha Male compared to Obozo.
