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.

Oh....interesting! Wonder if he got a 3:00 call? ;)

I didn't watch to the end. Only to where Obama left to do his wife's bidding, Clinton told him he'd better go, took over the podium and was called "Mr President" by a slobbering reporter.

I swear, we are living in the Twilight Zone.

Clinton at least seemed to like our country

Perhaps, but remember he "loathed the military".

Obama is lucky we don’t have the system they have in the UK or other European countries and Japan with no confidence votes. He be out by sundown. You know that if the Dems in the House and Senate could dump him for Bubba they’d do it in a heartbeat.

At 20:25 he says he flew all night to get there (from Asia). Maybe that’s why he looks tired. Sounds like the 3:00 call. Still can’t believe he was up there for 30 minutes.

And we are unlucky, which has been my complaint. European countries divide the roles at the top between a prime minister, i.e. the executive, and a president, who signs or vetoes legislation, represents the country but has no executive power. The prime minister is chosen by the parliament and can be recalled by the parliament. I think our system is archaic in bestowing royal, 18th century privileges on the top executive. NFG. Obomba is a disaster for the country, and for his own party.

I see that a quadruple by-pass has not changed our AstroTurf Ex-President.

I sure hope not. Please...do not, repeat DO NOT make this man a martyr. Let him twist slowly in the wind and it will be easier to elect a solid conservative in 2010.

Exactly. He doesn't have a clue how to fix the mess he both inherited and mainly created. Let him go to the 2012 elections with his record.

It'll be good to see a Tea Party backed Pub supermajority in Congress and President Palin emerging on the other side of the new year.

Yep, he had to call in the heavy iron liar to do his work FOR him.

Will his narcissism allow him to quit? That would be a self admission that he is less than he thinks he is.

He won’t step down willingly. he will have to be forced out which means somebody has to have something on him.

He’ll be there until 2012 but Hillary will probably challenge him in the primary and take him out (another historic first for Obama!).

What did Hillary have on Vince Foster to convince him to resign? Oh, wait....

Well, the pic of Barry walking away while Bubba’s at the podium is plastered across the front page of the NY Times today. And the Friends covered it this morning...funny, the bumper music after teasing the segment “Will this hurt Obama?” was Bruce’s “I’m goin’ down...down...down...”

Good points! It looks like Obama ‘acted stupidly’ (in calling the presser)—probably at BC’s behest, whether Obama was on to it or not. Like you, one of my first thoughts was that Gibbs should be fired. With extreme prejudice. ;)

Agreed about the MSM, too, but I think they’re going to be swimming upstream in their efforts to keep the lid on this one. A lot of people saw it live, and imho there’s too much comedy gold in it for the likes of SNL to leave it completely alone. I think it has legs. We shall see.

I agree with everyone who said this is Obama’s Dukakis-in-a-tank moment. Only maybe worse. He looked awful, as even the maniacs at DU acknowledged yesterday. BC got his last hurrah, and Obama implanted a disastrous image in the public psyche he will never be able to obliterate.

On talk radio this morning I heard hours of discussion of this tableau.

“It looked like an SNL skit. I wonder what SNL will do with it?”

Obama dropped the Christmas Party hint early on and fully expected Clinton to take him up on it. After a brief policy statement lauding the tax plan, they would leave the room together and that would be that.

Basically both got more than they bargained for when the president left him.

No need to apologize in the least brother, it was a damn good rant and I was very happy to read it! As far as these people working and planning for this for many, many decades, you can’t say it LOUD enough. And their plans have been very widespread and deep, and they’ve been willing to be patient for decades. It is my sincere hope and prayer that they severely misjudged their timing, they see now as the time to completely run their endgame scenarios, but I believe that they over-estimated the extent that the “resistance” has been removed. As you said 11/2010 is the start of an awakening, let us strive to extend this awakening to the furthest extent of our abilities; the fate of our Beloved Nation depends on it.

“...let us strive to extend this awakening to the furthest extent of our abilities...”

Working on it, brother. Count on it. Start by taking relatives and friends to the Range and teaching them to shoot, or maybe re-familiarizing them with THE most basic Constitutional right.

I want my country back.
