Obama installs Clinton alone at the podium, leaves him to it; Obama gone, Clinton still there
Vanity | December 10, 2010

Posted on 12/10/2010 2:01:24 PM PST by La Lydia

The darnedest thing just happened on TV. Still happening. Obama takes Clinton to the White House press briefing room. Turns the podium over to Clinton, and leaves the room. If you didn't have the sound on your TV, it looked like Obama resigned and handed over to Clinton. Clinton still talking, setting up dueling filibuster with Bernie Sanders. Clinton at that podium is bad deja vu.

But after Mr. Clinton began taking questions, the current president excused himself, saying that the first lady, Michelle, expected Mr. Obama’s presence at one of the many holiday parties that presidents host during the month of December.

“I’ve been keeping the first lady waiting,” Mr. Obama said, excusing himself.

“I don’t want to make her mad,” Mr. Clinton said. “Please go.”

The best part was when Obama tried to butt in after Clinton was done with the Tax topic, and Clinton raised his "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" finger, then started talking about START. Obama had stepped about a foot closer to him but forced to stop and fold his arms until Clinton finished. It was reminiscent of the 'Dingle-Norwood' moment at one of the 2000 Bush/Gore debates.

Clinton knows this guy's a pushover and gave a great demonstration via public speaking. Was remarkable to see the current sitting President of the United States belittled that way.

Lets remember just who Bubba is.....the guy who taught every ten year old kid in America just what oral sex is (IS)!! all about and while Clinton is doing the talking, the current resident of the White House has his hand in your back pocket removing your wallet.

NOT sarcasm. It happened.

I know the word surreal is overused these days.

But if I’ve ever seen it in action- this entire spectacle at the podium was IT. SURREAL.

The DU Meltdown is underway...

“Holy Hell. Clinton says “Read Krauthammer. He’s Brilliant”

and we need to take Chuck’s advice to pass the tax cut plan.

What is going on in the world?”

“clinton is still talking on c span.. good grief who is running the country?”

Sooo, Obama, who loves car metaphors, has handed the keys to Clinton? Clinton finally figured out a way to get his third term? Now we know why Hillary said the other day that Secretary of State was her last government job - she's first lady again! Somebody wake me up from this nightmare...

It’s incredible.

He passed the torch to Bubba and left for a party where MO was waiting.

I’m stunned. Yes, stunned.

As things get worse, some of us miss GW, some miss Clinton. And no matter how bad things get, nobody misses Carter. We can be in the middle of a mayan-calendar-end-of-days-meltdown and no one even then looks back with nostalgia for the good old days when Carter was at the helm.

I was just thinking about the fact that, as Obama implodes, he has Clinton at the podium. I suppose when things get really bad maybe he’ll have a trifecta, both Bushes flanking Clinton to reassure America that things are OK. The day we flip on the TV and Carter is standing there, we’ll know we’d better head for a safe place and start re-reading Revelation.
