Bill Clinton Predicts GOP 'Boogie Dance' Over Senate Win
Saturday, November 8, 2014
By: Jordyn Holman
Former President Bill Clinton weighed in Friday on the results of Tuesday's midterm elections, suggesting that Congress and the White House can still "get things done" and reflecting on his experience working with a divided government during a period of intense partisanship.
"The retrospective memory of my six years tends to be one that is airbrushed," Clinton told the crowd at USC. "For this time, what you gotta have is an agenda and get things done. There's going to be a boogie dance for the first few months, but we'll see what they're going to do."
Clinton said the election, in which Republicans gained control of the Senate and expanded their grip on the House, "completed the process that was started in 2010." But he suggested that such a scenario was not so out of the ordinary given that Republicans seized control of Congress in 1994 while he was president.

¡clinton es racista!
My prediction is that Clinton, like Rockerfeller, will die of a heart attack during an intense meeting with an “assistant”. If you know what I mean.....
However, Democrats being Democrats, and this being Florid-uh, it had me very worried. Needlessly as it turned out, because the base did not turn out for BJ. Not even Trayvon's People. So much for BJ. Hillary did better in NH, getting a lesbo-nut-abortionist elected over Scott Brown, who should now never be heard from again.
* E.G., ".... recession wasn't Charlie's fault .... improved education, cut taxes that's why they call Charlie the People's Governor" (O really?) Many class-warfare mantras. Apparently few were impressed. Charlie will now switch his party affiliation to the Greens to run for Senate .... as a Black woman. (Hey, you gonna switch, go for it!)
Can’t fix a blown out septum.....coke is bad on them.
“The Internet has done a lot of good,” he (Clinton) said. “It allows six-year-olds to get on the Internet and find out what I had to go to college to learn about.”
Sounds about right.
I put the garden to bed this past week. I have bulbs (Tulips) planted for spring, and still have lettuce, chard, spinach and arugula in the cold frame.
Life Is Good! :)
BJ Clinton did a visit and a TV ad for Mary Burke - who LOST by a WIDE MARGIN to our beloved Governor Scott Walker. :)
He, his shriveled up wife and Elizabeth Warren all campaigned for the sleazy Alison Grimes, and she still lost.
I love your idea. No more omnibus bills! Every agency gets it’s own funding bill. I have contacted both my senators in support of this.
We’re getting ready for a Lynching at the WH today.

Boogie Shoes on the ground, instead of boots on the ground?
THAT was a Thing Of Beauty! :)
A.B. Stoddard: A bad night for Clinton?
By A.B. Stoddard - 11/05/14 01:37 PM EST
While reports from the White House on election night described a fuming President Obama still in denial about his role in Democratic losses all over the country, you might have heard champagne corks popping in Hillaryland. Surely Bill and Hillary Clinton were breathing a sigh of relief.
The Tea Party Express issued a statement Wednesday titled “Rough Night for Hillary 2016,” listing the races the former secretary of State campaigned in only to see the candidates she endorsed go down in defeat. America Rising PAC released a similar list of places where she failed, the wide margins the candidates lost by and how many thousands of dollars the candidates spent to fly her there. A rough one for Hillary? Not at all.
Indeed, Clinton, expected to announce her presidential run shortly, made 45 campaign appearances for Democrats in less than two months that she intentionally scheduled close together for maximum impact and attention. But getting those Democrats elected wasn’t really the point. She helped them, and now they owe her. She went to bat, and loyalty will be expected in return.
As to Republican control of both chambers in Congress? No problem for Clinton, who will be counting on the near-constant conservative eruptions as GOP leaders attempt to quickly and neatly pass budgets that don’t lead to shutdown fights, to curb excessive oversight investigations that turn off the public, and to quell calls for impeachment once Obama issues his executive order on immigration that Republicans will declare “unconstitutional amnesty.”
A clean wipeout for Democrats is more politically beneficial for the former first lady — the bigger the margin, the better. What if it had gone down to the wire, with one or two runoffs that would decide a Democratic or Republican majority in the Senate? Clinton likely would have been pressed into service, campaigning for Sen. Mary Landrieu in Louisiana or Georgia Democrat Michelle Nunn, with the national GOP apparatus — including surrogates like Mitt Romney — campaigning in the same places and tying her to Obama. What if the Senate had split down the middle, like it did in 2000, and Vice President Biden became a senator again, providing the 51st vote and cutting deals that could have potentially helped him run against her for president in 2016?
