Obama asks Bill Clinton to help with fightback

Clinton had the Drive By Media bail him out in ‘92. There was no Internet, no YouTube.

PLEASE OH PLEASE SAVE ME SAVE ME...BUBBA GOD HELP us if this twit gets into office!! In Bubba he trusts.

Although Clinton extravagantly praised Obama in his speech to the Democratic convention in Denver last month, the relationship between the two has remained strained after Obama's bitter Democratic primary campaign against Hillary Clinton earlier this year.

Ya think? The Clintons had the next eight years all planned out and then Obama rained on their parade. I think Hillary would rather see the Republicans win than the man who stole her dream.

[Merta]

Hey Obama, not even Third Party candidates can save you now!! Bill Clinton probably should’ve solved Obama’s problem by giving him Ross Perot’s phone number and business card. That was a major advantage to Clinton.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yeah,, that will work, Bill Clinton to help fight against the McCain/Palin ticket who happens to have a woman on the ticket.. most women will see this after all what Bill Clinton did and support McCain/Palin for vindication.

"I've got lunch with Bill Clinton, which I'm looking forward to," he told David Letterman on Wednesday night. "There's nobody smarter in politics and he is going to be campaigning for us over the next eight weeks, which I'm thrilled by, because the race that he ran in 92 was similar to what's taking place now."

Dream on. In 1992 the public didn't know Bill Clinton was a serial rapist, a con artist and a sociopath. There also was no FOX News and the internet was in its infancy. And he wants you (Obama) to win? Because Hillary will be too old by 2016. Plastic surgery and Botox can only do so much.

Hey Obama here’s a free tip for you man...when Mrs. Clinton comes up to you with all smiles offering coffee or something else to eat...DON”T TAKE IT..GET A FOOD TESTER...If you show up to meet the Clinton’s make sure someone knows your going to be gone...Because one meeting well Bill and Hillaries “Problems” have a way of getting lost.

[weegee]

Well Bill Clinton pardoned two Underground bombers so they DO have something in common. A support for domestic terrorists who loved communism and hated this country.

[highlander_UW]

Obama couldn't even unite the left wing of the democrat party...it's silly to think he could unite the US much less the world. Liberals are daft.

The lunchtime meeting in New York between the Democratic party's two towering figures....

Can you believe they wrote that?

[unspun]

After all...

...it worked out so well for Gore and Kerry....

[goodolemr]

Stick Obama next to the Clintons, all it does is diminish him. Bill was just looking for some ego stroking. He’ll pay lipservice to Obama, faint praise and all that, but we know the real score behind the scenes. He has him.

Cue Theme from “ROCKY” and training montage.

[FredZarguna]

I love it. Bill Clinton, who never cracked 50% in a national election, and who has been political poison to everybody he's ever helped since becoming nationally prominent. Hell yes! Come on down!

Thought the same thing, too. But my caption was "I know it was you, Barack, you broke my heart...you broke my heart..."

HAHAHAHA no ammount of training can save Barry from himself. He is flailing.....will be calling people’s mothers names over the weekend. Monday Barack issues a taunt to McCain NA NA NAH BOO BOO! Still nothing. I’m out of ideas.

Obama’s big claim to experience is his campaign, which is disassembling around him. His other claim is that he has “judgement”. So does he solve his problems himself using his own judgement or does he go get advice from those he just defeated? What would he do if he were president and faced with real challenges???
