He's just done the unthinkable, alienating one of the most importants group in the Democratic constituency, blacks. Jesse Jackson 20-years ago was the man on the spot, a serious African-American candidate making the white boys sweat. Now, however, he's an over-the-hill, discredited hypocrate with two love children and a fractured marriage. Comparing Obama to him is worse than "ghettoising" him; it's refusing to take him seriously even as a black leader.
So why'd he do it? I don't buy Hillary's excuse. He didn't "get carried away," and it wasn't about "sleep deprivation," any more than their marriage is about love.
My theory: The Kennedies dissed his wife by endorsing Obama, in effect writing both her and him off. Bill just sent the party establishment a subterranian, blatant threat: If we go down, we take the DOP with us. Now appear on camera with my wife and smile, or else I'll destroy you all.
Don't say we didn't warn you about those two.
What threat did Bill send? I missed that one.
Uh, he's an a$$hole?
i’m not sure I follow it, but it seems cool. hadn’t thought of how he’d react to the kennedy betrayal. he’s got to be really stung; they’ve just stolen repossessed “Camelot” robe from him and put on Obamasama. Sure makes him look small. (Makes ‘em both look small, actually).
not only that, if you read the starr report, he likes to inspect them with an oral appendage as well. :)
Bill and Hillary were always sucking up to the Kennedys and trying to fit in with the Democratic party elite. Now the Kennedys just slapped the Clintons back down to Dogpatch USA and the fight has just begun.
Maybe nothing’s up. That may be why he’s been so mean recently.
Bill Clinton hasn’t been the same since his heart surgery,,he was very sick, didn’t recover well. I personally think his brain got a bit damaged and his judgement is poor. Something about his temper flaring, his appearance,,I think the manisn’t what he used to be. Not as cool and clever.
Bill Clinton is playing “passive agressive” against Hillary, he is saying the most outlandish things he can to keep Hillary out of the White House. Bill Great job, I think it is going to work.
What threat did Bill send? I missed that one.
That’s why I called it “subterranian”. He offends the hell out of blacks, then has his wife back-pedal for him. He was sleep-deprived, you see. In other words, be careful. Unless you play ball with me, he’ll get even more sleep-deprived, and take the whole house down with us.
I agree with your assesment.
He appears physically weak and frail.
Yep. That’s a good analysis. That, and he really is, and always has been an asshat.
From years of Coke snorting. A tiger is a tiger and a self centered dangerous incompetent criminal is a self centered dangerous incompetent criminal. They are who they are.

Ewwww!
I see no change. He has always been a hothead.
The charming thing is a myth ....
He is a mean spirited guy.
Spell check is your friend.
Thy library and massage parlor awaits. George Bush gave him more respect than anyone left in Congress.
