Bill Clinton: Obama Is Just Like Jesse Jackson (On Drudge)
ABC News ^ | January 26, 2008 8:18 PM | Jake Tapper

Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."

This was in response to a question about Obama saying it "took two people to beat him." Jackson had not been mentioned.

Boy, I can't understand why anyone would think the Clintons are running a race-baiting campaign to paint Obama as "the black candidate."

Hadn’t heard about Jackson endorsing the “real BLACK” President hopeful.

Those are fantastic academic accomplishments.
However his actual ‘out-there-in-the-world’ accomplishments are pretty meager! He needs more time in the Senate and then hold an executive position like governor. Maye be even some private sector accomplishments. (But no he is a democrat!)

Hitlery’s are only marginally better, being married for 40 years to the Great Slug is NOT a career accomplishment.

See what slick Willy is doing?

With South Carolina Victory in Hand, Obama Tries to
Avoid Being Pigeon-Holed as ‘Black Candidate’

He wants to make sure that by using RACE, which he claims he isn’t doing - Obama will be alienated because of his RACE. It’s the old liberal double talk hypocrisy. To be a liberal is to be a racist hypocrite.

In the land of EQUAL OPPORTUNITY,

The Presidential Primaries have boiled down to:

RACE
CREED
COLOR
SEX

"Jesse Jackson on (On Drudge)"...

Shouldn't that be, 'Jesse Jackson on drugs?'

I’m not here to prop-up Obama.

To recap, I said there was no way Obama would trash his lifetime accomplishments only to sit as Vice President at the feet of Her Heinous and Slick Willy. That’s just implausible. Even Democrats know what horrible people they are.

To which, cake-crumb challenged my mention of Obama’s “accomplishments”. Implying that he has none (or few).

I don’t care what his party or political beliefs, but to assert that Obama has no record of accomplishment is just plain bizarre, right out of the Twilight Zone and buried under many layers of self-delusion and the denial of reality.

Say what you will, Bill and Hillary have completely seduced the majority of female voters; he with his lip biting and she with the pretty smile.

I detest the Clintons, especially her, because while Bill basically wanted to be president so he could get more chicks, she is evil incarnate. My wife, while uber-conservative right down the line just like me, is not one who typically shows a great deal of outward reaction to various politicians. When Hillary appears on TV, however, my wife insists that I change the channel immediately. She has a truly visceral reaction to Hillary that goes far deeper than mine. I think perhaps good women have an insight into her that goes a bit further than us men.

What makes you believe that a man of Obama’s accomplishments would disgrace himself at the feet of Hitlery Clinton, . . .

He's a politician and a democrat.

Should he decide that being her VP will make him more powerful--more likely to have the White House to himself someday--he will be her VP, polish her shoes, hoe her fields, whatever. Should he decide otherwise, he will not and, of course, that decision will be on high principle (eyes rolling).

You know, there are plenty of Democrats who know and understand that the Clintons are venal and horrible people.

"Clinton is in some major denial...and it’s funny as heck."

I'd also say that he is doing drugs again.

The boundless evil of these folks allows for limitless possibilities. The flaw in the BJ-VP gambit, as I see it, is that it leaves Bill a heartbeat away from Presidency. Hillary’s heartbeat. Is she really going to put herself in that position?

I think Bill will serve the cause of global Marxism more effectively as U.N. Secretary General. With his wife leading what’s left of the free-world, they could elevate the U.N. to a real position of authority over America. Kyoto and the Law of the Sea treaty would only be the beginning.

One thing’s certain: if these people get in again, they’re going to make their trial run in the 90s look like a walk in the park (apologies to Vince Foster). It’s going to be uglier than anything even the most vivid imaginations are projecting.

Seems to me this quote, highlighted in the headline, isn’t actually in the article.

Of course they’ll alike. Except Jackson says “Keep Hope Alive” while Obie says “Keep Dope Alive”.

I agree. Was his red nose your first clue? or was it his eyes?
