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.
Holy CR@P. Who’s running the country? Zero and his ineptitude has just put a bulls-eye/target on us. If we manage to survive the full term of this clown without being attacked, I will be surprised.
bravo !
wow ! just wow !
Obama playing 2nd fiddle to WJC ! wow !
Obama works in random ways to be sure, but it wasn’t necessarily because he couldn’t answer the question. It could have been that he was embarrassed by any more suggestions from the press that would leave him looking weaker and incompetent in comparison to Clinton.
What Barry-O said, in introducing him, was “I’m going to let him speak very briefly...And then I’ve actually got to go over and do just one more Christmas party. So he may decide he wants to take some questions, but I want to make sure that you guys hear it from him directly.”
The impression is that they’ll just be a few minutes. Barry hung around, expecting Bill to mouth a few platitudes and close it out. Little did he know.
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.
After watching it, Clinton by comparison made people long for him. Obama stood there quite inept and eventually looked put off. Walking out as he did, just made him look even worse.
This picture my be a foreshadowing.

Please Go” - Clinton to Odumbi. Ouch. Bitchsational Slap heard round da world.
Clinton will say....mah bad.
Thank you DC!
In all the misery inflicted by the Obama administration, my one teeny, weeny, tiny, small, sad speck of consolation was the thought that perhaps Zero had effectively neutralized the Clintoons.
Sigh. They're baaaaaaack!
0bama: “I’m going to take off now.” You can’t make this stuff up!
this event speaks VOLUMES!
MY thoughts exactly, even though, uncharacteristically I completely MISSED this story, and have been filled in on it from everyone from my wife, the investment adviser, to a guy I chat with who works at the local Starbucks.
YES, this is definitely Bubba acting as surrogate, creating an “impression” that maybe he’d be a good behind-the-scener
when Hillary runs for (and they hope wins) the Presidency.
Obama passing the reins, in effect, to Clinton is one of the weirdest and most pathetic things this Administration has yet done. And regardless of what Clinton’s content actually was for a whole variety of issues at this ‘proxy presser’, the obvious intent was for the Press to be treated to a refreshing change of pace from the robotic Obama. On one level, it also calls to mind the great scene from Midnight Cowboy when Joe Buck thinks he’s being hired as a stud by an overweight Upper East Side bleached-blonde played by Sylvia Miles, who is actually a hooker thinking Joe Buck is a lonely rube soliciting HER services. Obama thinks he’s getting something for this and from this, and so does Clinton:
ultimately they’re both playing their last desperate cards from a dwindling deck of Jokers.
He is already.
I watched in amazement. I bet a dollar to a donut Obama was PO'ed at Clinton. No narcissist likes to be outdone on their own stage. He hinted that Clinton's remarks would be brief, but when Clinton got the microphone, he proceeded to make Obama look like the rank amateur he is. Clinton made Obama look like a grade school neophyte. A moment to remember for sure.
Clinton has a health issue. It isn’t his heart (not the primary issue), although that is the official explanation. Could be cocaine, could be immunity issues. Plus the visible rosacea, including papules and rhinophyma (red bumps and red nose with lobes).
But his health records were never released - since Eisenhower, only Clinton and Obama have kept their medical records secret. Kennedy had kidney issues, but although he was in constant pain, it wasn’t life-threatening. So speculation is about all we can do. Their are multiple effective treatments for rosacea, depending on cause. This means Clinton probably has one of the untreatable causes for that. Plus the stress of eight years as President takes a major toll on health.
Obama is almost certainly on major antidepressants. Can’t rule out marijuana or other psychoactive chemicals. If Slick Clinton were a candidate for VP, it would happen after 20 January 2011. If Hitlery, it could happen tomorrow, after Biden announces his early retirement. Remember that Agnew resigned under pressure and then Ford was nominated and confirmed before Nixon resigned.
It was really a slap down fro Obama. What I can not understand is how he could have even thought for one tiny moment that Clinton would have not done that to him.
Obama’s handlers knew nothing about it at all according to reports from MSM. So it was an off the cuff thing done by Obama and Clinton. But it really says something about the stupidity of Obama.
He knew that Clinton was his political opponent in the last election. That he had played the race card on him. that Hillary has been taking heat from day one and playing the good soldier. That Clinton himself has an ego as wide as the Grand canyon and loves hogging the lime light. He did so much on Hillary’s campaign that they had to keep him away from microphones.
Now here is the $24.00 question. Did Obama REALLY think that he had so much star power that Clinton would do his bidding and then just walk away to make him look good? Did he really think that he has used his persuasive personality to get Clinton to jump on board and play nice with him?
IS he really this naive?
And yet he is the one who is talking with foreign leaders making policy that is supposed to be in our favor based upon his judgment?
Obama hurt himself so bad with that off the cuff media screw up in so many peoples eyes, today had to be a hard day for him to get out of bed IMO. Clinton on the other hand, he must be calling EVERYONE he knows to tell them .. “I had to go in and help the kid out”
Things have gone down hill for Obama handling the party since Rham has left apparently.
>Clinton will say....mah bad.<
with a grin from ear to ear
Self-ping for later.
