Former President Bill Clinton made an unusually direct attack Friday night on Senator Barack Obama, one of his wife’s leading rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, suggesting that voters who would support someone with Mr. Obama’s experience were willing to “roll the dice” on the presidency.

Appearing on “The Charlie Rose Show” on PBS, Mr. Clinton repeatedly questioned Mr. Obama’s preparedness for the White House, noting that he took office in January 2005 and became a presidential candidate about two years later. (Mr. Obama was an Illinois state senator before that.)

“When is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?” Mr. Clinton said. At another point, he appeared to compare Mr. Obama to a “gifted television commentator” running for president. “They’d have only one year less experience in national politics” than Mr. Obama, he said......."

President Barak Husayn.

More than enough reason to oppose him.

President Hillary Clinton would be both more likely and worse.
She has a longer agenda and enemies list.

Bubba’s right.

He’s right of course.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then...

When did your common-law wife start running, Bill? During the listening tour?

Neither Obama or Bill’s “business partner” are ready for the job.

Yeah, kinda like the way they rolled the dice on you and came up craps.

Much as I hate the Hildabeast, Obama could be even worse.

Then there’s Al Gore waiting in the wings if neither of them can cut it.

We really, really have to nominate a decent Republican candidate. The alternatives are too horrible to think about.

Hillary is a woman leftist running as a centrist.
Obama is a black leftist running as a leftist.
Bubba is a desparate houswife.

I got my absentee ballot yesterday and am really having difficulty deciding who to vote for.

Marvel not. It isn't what comes out of the man's mouth, it's why it comes out; that's where you differ.

I don’t blame you. I know who I prefer, but there are several acceptable candidates, and it’s not clear yet which one will be the best choice to beat the flakes.
