First lady says theres bromance between Obama, Bill Clinton By Alicia M. Cohn - 09/21/12 04:43 PM ET
Michelle Obama this week acknowledged that the extended hug between President Obama and former President Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, in a surprise appearance by the president following Clintons speech, was the public display of the bromance that has been going on for some time.
Obama and the first lady have invoked Clintons name many times on the campaign trail since his well-received speech to the Democratic convention earlier this month. Both Obama and his GOP opponent, Mitt Romney, have featured Clintons policies in TV ads, with Romney charging that Obama is gutting Clinton policies and Obama warning that Romney's plan contrasts with the days of plenty represented by the Clinton years.
"Barack stays in close communication with all the former presidents, and Bill Clinton has been an important adviser, friend and supporter for a very long time, the first lady told Access Hollywood in an interview airing on Thursday and Friday this week. Barack understands that to be good at this job, you've got to learn and listen to those who've done it. And because there are so few people alive today who've done this job, you don't waste any advice. He's reached out to all the living presidents and seeks their advice and counsel."
Clinton has also headlined fundraisers on Obamas behalf this cycle, but in 2008, when his wife Hillary Clinton was competing against Obama for the Democratic nomination, Bill Clinton was one of Obamas most outspoken opponents.
We haven't been close friends a long time or anything like that, but [Obama] knows that I support him, Clinton told NBC News earlier this month.
Clintons popularity has grown since he left the presidency, which might be one reason both presidential campaigns are now referring to him as they argue in favor of their own policies.
Illegals, undocumented
homosexuals , gay
obamacare or socialized health care, affordable act
islamic attack, work place
attack on Christian, crime
attack on a homosexual , hate crime
homosexual marriage, marriage equality the list is endless and you and Rush is right, WORDS DO HAVE A MEANING It's about time our side stopped using their words and used the words which are supposed to be used .
asked my kids who go to school and they had never heard of it either, I guess it;s a north east elitist word which was made up at teir snotty nosed elitist cocktail party.
I know I’ll never use words like that
Salad tossers! We need a NOT GHETTO First Lady!
Maybe they are gay together!
Maybe it's a metrosexual thing. As far as I'm concerned, straight men have friendships, not bromances.
Absolutely correct observation!
Hilarious photo, but we can be sure the ill people of IL are not laughing. The political decline of IL would be a good topic on which to focus.
I don’t want to know where Obama is putting the cigar.
Edward Klein in "The Amateur": "Ive heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than Ive heard from Obama, my sources quoted Clinton as saying. I have no relationship with the president none whatsoever. Obama doesnt know how to be president. He doesnt know how the world works. Hes incompetent. Hes an amateur!
MO is making stuff up and lying to the gullible suck-up media again ... no surprise, though.
Very seldom on FR does one encounter an "unbeatable argument" .... I think you just threw one out there. (So to speak.)
And he bites. ("Better put some ice on that.")
He leg-humps, too.
He's a straight rapist-frotteur and masher. Cujo the Leg-Humper.
Between the two of them, they have destroyed the dignity of the office and the good name of representative democracy. It's the fault of the voter base. They elected this human garbage, this rotting detritus.
Let's be optimistic. Maybe the bus will arrive to find Barky and Slick rolling around in the gutter choking the life out of each other and knifing Beastie and Moochelle in the back .... and run over the whole squirming mass. And back up over them .... hit 'er again ... then back up again .... and do 'er one more time.
Okay, so call me Pollyanna. I deserve it.
The ‘first lady’ descriptor, when applied to that fat-assed communist cow, is a spew-inducing obscenity.
Actually, no. Barky could make a huge strategic mistake and, at some point, name Hitlery his replacement VP for Joe Biden. Fatal error, resolving in four, three, two ...
Excellent comments!
I hope Obama swallows.
Did he show him the “Executive Branch”?
