I think even the independents know the following equation by now:
Obama = FAIL
This is more significant with the free pass he gets on foreign policy scrutiny.
In November I may regret writing this...but it looks like a Romney landslide is on the horizon. Romney was not my choice for the GOP nomination...but it starting to look as though anybody will beat this fake in the White House.
I am old enough to remember 1980. Polls, some like now over-polling Democrats had the race too close to call three days out from the election. It was a Reagan landslide.
The difference being that then...the media was a bit fairer in its treatment of Republicans...not much, but some...today the MSM has stripped away all pretense of objectivity.
I’m thinking Romney, if he does a reasonable job in the debates should sweep the battleground states.
Especially in the upper midwest...the economy is terrible...hard to see who will vote for four more years of this.
Bet Hillary is fuming.
I think Hume is right about this, there’s no love lost between those two. But I think he and O’Reilly are on the crack pipe with their speculation that Clinton may “go rogue”. He ain’t going off the reservation, but he may round up all the indians and bring them back over to the Clinton Ranch...
Bill Clinton the attention whore would eat sh—dirt to be the center of attention.
I bet he is getting off on Obama begging him to save his azz.
Bill Clinton did well getting himself elected, but he has no coattails. The entire Democratic party got wiped out during his years, despite his campaigning. Gore lost, Hillary lost the nomination, and as previously mentioned Walker won, and he had no impact on 2010. Clinton is great for Clinton, but that’s about it.
Plus, it gives Romney a chance to contrast Clinton’s record with Obama’s in terms of reforms, compromise, etc.
Wives who are 'hell on wheels'
Both seem to enjoy oral sex, although one prefers it from guys
Both seem to like cocaine
Both presided over a tidal change in the House bringing a majority from the opposing party.
One was impeached in his second term, the other probably will be impeached if he has a second term.
One was declared the first black president, the other was declared the first black president.
Yup. A lot in common.
So the man that lost Gore the election is going to save Obama?
A definite desperation move.
Just look at Bill and Hil’s success promoting candidates since his leaving office. What is it now? Something like 29 losers vs. 2 winners!
I think it’s a mistake. Dems love Clinton, and looking at him will remind them of the mistake they made in 2008.
Obama is a narcissist, whenever he sees Clinton in public he manhandles him and tries to look more powerful. It will just remind Dems that Obama is the lesser man.
"Ladies, Gentleman, butt grabbers and etc; I come before you not behind you to nominate the next President of the United States. Hillary Rodham Clinton." Then to just sit there and watch Barack Hussein Obama turn white.
America hates Bill Clinton.
Romney should have George W. Bush make a Primetime speech of the GOP Convention.
Reagan spoke at the 92 convention.
Didn’t do squat for Bush.
Like what the hell is the guy people remember for getting a cheap bj going to do for Obama?
Bringing B. Clinton on the scene will be a kiss of death for Obama. Does anyone recall the presser where Clinton flat out took over and Obama literally left the room looking very small after that? The same in spades will happen again, Clinton will hog the limelight (and admittedly, the guy is good at it and handling the quisling press) and the stark difference between the two “democrats” will be shown (with Obama looking like the complete inferior) and more “middle of the road” democrats who don’t normally pay attention to politics will be pushed to Romney. Just my $0.02 of course.
Hume’s analysis is fine, but I suspect that (beyond needing a gimmick to justify media attention for a purposeless convention):
1) Obama retains some fear of a convention rebellion in favor of Hillary.
2) Wishful thinking by many Democrats that Obama might be dumped for Hillary! is hurting campaign donations and Obama’s poll numbers. (At least Obama’s handlers hope so).
Lining up Bill to place Obama’s name in nomination, and announcing this publicly, pretty much kills the draft Hillary notion.
Unfortunately for Obama, Bill is always about Bill. Reminding the electorate that he, for all his faults, was a skillful politician, enormously more engaged and effective as President than Obama, who actually did bipartisan business by co-opting the Republican agenda, tamed the deficit, etc., makes Obama look mighty shabby. Obama does not measure up to Bill’s standards, even for honesty.
What helped the Toon was the dot com bubble, his 24x7 spin meisters, and the Republican Congress saved him because they thought it was too extreme to kick Hill and Billy out on their Arkansas @$$e$ after he was impeached!
Bill Clinton is the luckiest guy in the world, but he’s a jinx to everybody around him. He gets the credit for everybody else’s work, and the people around him get hosed. Great idea, Obama. Give Bill the chance to grab the spotlight and you’ll never get it back. This should be fun to watch.
