Oh, I’ll bet they were. Say what you will about Axe, Gibbsy, and the rest of the crew, but I’d like to think they have the basic political common sense to avoid photo ops where the president has to skip out after a minute or two to go eat gingerbread cookies.

I’d like to think The One had the same basic political common sense, but … we learn something new every day, don’t we?

The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.

[Gene Eric]

Agree and your last line was quite funny.

[Red Steel]

Go Joe. We can laugh at him while he puts his foot in his mouth daily.

NYT: White House advisors totally surprised by Obama-Clinton press conference

When I tuned into Fox News Channel and saw Bubba in front of the
wall-hanging of “The White House”, I initially thought that I was
watching archival footage from Bubba’s two terms.

I about FREAKED when I realized that an X-President was actually giving
a press conference in The White House RIGHT THEN.

Bubba’s conference SCREAMS “Obama Ain’t Up To The Job”.
Don’t expect the MSM to say that. The MSM would surely say that if this
suprising even featured two Republicans.

I’m still waiting to hear any media outlet (including Fox News Channel)
to say if such an event has ever happened before.
(I.E., a former President giving a press conference at The White House)

Also, I initially thought maybe “Obama has fired Robert Gibbs and hired Bubba
to be The White House spokesperson!!!

King Lear was the first thought that came to my mind.

The trouble with OBummer, he has no one who loves him more than he loves himself.

Clinton at White House Sets Twitter on Fire

Excerpt:

Political Washington watched, slack-jawed, as President Obama on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton the White House briefing room and Mr. Clinton took it – for a full half-hour.

Obama is standing there with that smirky smile on his face and his arms crossed. He is so full of himself that I really don't think he understands what has already occurred and is about to get worse. Obama literally abdicated his position to a senior politician/ex president today. He couldn't make the case himself strongly enough to his own party or the press, so he brought in Billy Jeff to do it for him. Oh, that cost Obama. That really cost him.

Wife’s a bit, I mean, life’s a bit$#!

[jonrick46]

You are correct. I was thinking of the nonconsecutive idea of of term limits. However, the 22nd amendment says there can never be more than two elected terms whether they are consecutive or not.

Wikileaks has proof he’s a Kenyan.

[DollyCali]

Thank you ma’am.

this would be the best Merry Christmas America present possible

[AdmSmith]

This is no big deal, just a way to reduce the heat from left wing Democrats outraged about the deal to extend Bush administration tax cuts.

[ronnie raygun]

So Obama is admiting this is above his paygrade? Or it’s mission accomplished for him, on to becoming president of the UN and the world!

[ronnie raygun]

I believe they are all working together on this succession to power, zero starts the ball rolling for a term, bill primes the pumps for hillary in 2012, zero gets what he really wants is president of the world, head of the UN. This is a global effort with the help of the chicoms, soros and a host of international socialist globalist organizations. These criminlas are despicable in thier personal lives this is easy for them.

[GlockThe Vote]

Clinton seemed far more informed than bama on the issues.

[LS]

First, I just don't see that happening even if Zero had a total mental meltdown.

Second, seriously, the Dems would in any way, shape, or form let CLINTON---an old man with a very bad ticker (who looks older by the minute)---come back in? Nope. And I know you said Biden, but the whole thing with Clinton is creepy.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Obama is so weak. He is so desperate he passes the baton to an impeached POTUS.

I wonder if slick willy told him how to move to the center?
LOL there is no democratic party left to respect; so he is a one termer and they think Feingold will save them? LOL I laugh while I cry as they destroy America.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Me too. It is weird.

[b9]

Ubama was slipping out for a couple of lines and a smoke, guaranteed.

I want to know what he and B were snorting just before the presser. Seriously. I think they both seem high.

[LibLieSlayer]

Bull dookie.

[Friendofgeorge]

He`s leaving to become the head of the UN, this has apparently been the plan all along.

He can say he would run for a 2nd term but he has been asked to take a higher office where he can make a bigger mess of things
