Bill Clinton will never leave the Democratic Party. He will never leave politics. He’s a professional politician who in retirement really misses the White House, so much so that he would like to join his wife there, and that’s why he has never stopped promoting Hillary as a presidential candidate.
Publicly, he supports President Barack Obama and is helping to raise funds for his re-election campaign. Privately, he views the president as ill-equipped for the job and a bungler, according to a large number of reports.
The Week magazine went as far as to say: “Bill Clinton: A Dangerous Surrogate.”
Clinton has praised Mitt Romney’s business career as “sterling.” Clinton also has suggested extending George W. Bush’s tax cuts. That goes against the Obama grain and has the president’s re-election team in dithers. They have learned not to trust Bill.
The former president also has placed wife Secretary of State Hillary in a touchy if not precarious position. She’s loyal to the president and certainly is trying to do her very best for her country. Undoubtedly, she is hearing from members of her party who say they are sorry she lost the primary race to Obama. In effect, they are telling her should would have made a better president than Obama.
There are a number of theories circulating as to Bill Clinton’s political maneuvering, according to The Week. “Some say he is deliberately sandbagging Obama, his rival for Democratic affections. Others suspect he’s hoping to boost Romney into an economically disastrous presidency, so that Hillary can claim the White House in 2016.”
The Week also quoted a political writer as saying that the only reliable truth about the man “is that he has lots of complex motives — all of them self-serving.”
Bill Clinton at a recent Obama fundraiser said, “Remember me? I’m the only guy that gave you four surplus budgets out of eight I sent.” For those keeping score, that’s four more than Obama will ever deliver, the article in The Week reported.
There are those political observers who say Bill Clinton meddled in the campaigns of Al Gore and John Kerry, and even proved to be a detriment to his wife when she was running against Obama. They say he considers himself the foremost political consultant in the country.
There’s no question that Bill Clinton is full of himself to the point where his ambitions still stir political waters. He had the potential to be a good president, and he was in many matters, but his lack of self-discipline diverted attention from pressing international and national issues, and to his record. The Democrats went through an embarrassing period while Clinton was president. Because Hillary stuck by him is why she is where she is today.
President Obama knows he has to watch his back in dealing with Bill Clinton, who always has had a political agenda that places his hands on the gavel of authority.
He’s one of the oldest looking 65 year olds I’ve seen. He looks as old as my dad, who’s 82. He better hurry.
Considering how many bodies have surrounded the Clintons I can well their temptation should Hilary become VP and therefore only one heartbeat away from the Presidency.
It’s become pretty clear that the Chicago political mob blackmailed BJ and Hildabeast over Arkancide.
They were prevented from using the vaunted Clinton private detective operation to dig up the real story of Baraq. It was mutually assured destruction.
So Hillary had to campaign on who was the biggest liberal.
If Baraq tanks this fall, Hildabeast will order up a tanker truck full of Botox and start training for 2016. She’ll campaign as the female Reagan.
The longer Obama is in office, the better Bill looks.
Well too bad we can’t call ole BJ a patriot who finally spoke up to warn the country of an illegal/fraud communist usurper who was out to destroy everything great about America.
BJ has mixed feelings toward Baraq.
He lost out on his chance to be FHOTUS.
But with Hillary on the road 80% of the time as SecSt, there’s plenty of time for chicks.
I like that he hits on zer0, but gettin hilda in there? Shes no better than zer0
No, Hillary wasn't behind Roberts ruling. In fact, she's as perturbed as Ginsburg, and for the same reasons.
” And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
That’s a pretty cheesy name for a cartoonist.
