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."

Condi is not going to run. We don’t want a State Department Employee doing anything more relevant than managing a franchised Mc Donalds.

I don’t think Hillary could stand Obama to be her nominated VP. And I don’t think Obama could stand it either.

She will choose Richardson - if she gets the nomination.

Richardson is already a Clintonista, someone she can control. THAT matters more than anything to her heinous.

So, what will they do about Obama? If she “wins” the nomination....the Clinonites will put on a massive “win them over” campaign - towards the Obama supporters - expect massive payoffs to as many in the black communities as possible (promises, earmarks,etc.).

For Obama himself - they will find out what is his price - and they will pay it.

Should he not accept that purchase price.....well.....let’s just say he should never fly in a private plane or go near Ft. Marcy Park.

Now, that is the Clinton M.O.

But I will say some interesting things have happened so far , God is at work respondng to the prayers of many....vengeance is mine, says the Lord. God is a God of justice.....He will not forever tolerate the criminal wrongdoings of the Clinton mafia without bringing some justice into the situation.

These election rejections of Billary are, I believe, part of God’s justice in action for lives filled with lawlessness .... Slow in coming - but well deserved. May they continue!

Oh no he didn’t! LOL.

Translation: “No big deal, a black guy won here in South Carolina in ‘84 and ‘88 too, so what?”

Hey dude - Obama got the majority of the white vote this time around, hellloooo.

How come Jackson and Sharpton aren’t endorsing a BLACK nominee, Obama?

Speaks volumes, doesn't it?

I love it. The Clintons both have foot in mouth disease.

I’m just on the side. Giving out the popcorn. I love them imploding like this.

"Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."

In other words: "The Black man ran here before and didn't win the presidency, and the Black man ain't gonna win the presidency again."

In a way this is kind of sad....because with the temper tantrums and the grossly inappropriate public comments it looks as if some kind of senility is advancing upon him at an early age. There’s something wrong with the man. Seriously.

Probably the syphilis.

I don’t think the Clintons really care. They have so many of the super delegates I doubt it will matter. She will win the nomination.

******

Voters don’t choose the 842 unpledged “super-delegates” who comprise nearly 40 percent of the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

The category includes Democratic governors and members of Congress, former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former vice president Al Gore, retired congressional leaders such as Dick Gephardt, and all Democratic National Committee members, some of whom are appointed by party chairman Howard Dean.

The Republicans do not have a similar super-delegate system.

These super-delegates don’t have superhuman powers, but unlike rank-and-file Democrats, they do automatically get to cast a vote at the convention to decide who the party’s nominee will be.

Why the ‘super-delegate’ system?
Why did the party adopt this partly undemocratic system?

Super-delegates were supposed to supply some Establishment stability to the nominating process.

Before 1972, party elders, such as Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and Charlie Buckley, the boss of The Bronx who helped John Kennedy clinch the 1960 nomination, wielded inordinate power.

I love the pic up on Drudge... An energetic Obama contrasted against a pointing Slick Willie looking like Jack Frost.

Leftists want power. They’ll promise anything to anyone to get it. And then step on anyone including the same people to keep it.

Just disgusting. First black president my ass.

I don’t think so, and here’s why. If Mrs. BJC and Hussein teamed up and won, Mrs. BJC would be guaranteed to be a one-term president. The taxes she’d raise, the businesses she’d punish, the terrorists she’d appease would turn as many people against her as turned on Carter in 1980. Hussein would be toast. He knows he’s too young to throw it all away only to play second fiddle to the duo who have been engaging in his personal destruction so intently.

>>Slick Willie looking like Jack Frost.<<

And on my monitor it looks like that pointy finger has a band-aid. Makes you wonder. Or, just invites more silliness :)
