Dick Morris: ‘Clinton is going to cast his ballot for Mitt Romney’

On Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” on Monday night, Dick Morris predicted that his old boss, former President Bill Clinton, will work behind the scenes to undermine President Barack Obama’s reelection bid.

There has been a well-documented history of tension between Obama and Clinton going back to the sometimes racially charged 2008 Democratic primary. And according to Morris, the author of “Screwed!”, the two men’s relationship remains strained to this day.

It's coming back to me now. You've got to give BO credit for making BJ look like a reasonably competent president by comparison.

Funny, ain't it, how we can both remember the incident but neither of us can remember the topic?

One thing you can count on . . . put a microphone in front of Bill Clinton and he will tell you what a great guy he is, and what a great president he was. And praising another president is not his strong suit-he doesn't like competition.

At the convention, he's just as likely to claim that Hillary would be a better choice than Obama. Not outright, of course, but read between the lines. If I were running for office, he's the LAST guy I would want to introduce me!

This is one of those unprovable assertions Morris is fond of making. It might be true and it might not be, either way.....if Clinton votes Romney, he'll never tell anyone. A much more entertaining spectacle would be if Clinton actually stopped mid-speech and endorsed Romney. It would never happen, but it would be the equivelent of Vader throwing the Emperor down the shaft to save his son.

Charles Dudley Warner said it best: “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”

In this case, I think the probability of Obama getting screwed is fairly high. This introduction speech would not happen if Obama were not desperate enough to risk giving Bill the spotlight.

Lest anyone forget the last ‘help’ Obama got from Bill, Romney’s latest ad quotes Clinton on Romney’s “sterling business career..”

If Obama is re-elected, the anti-Democrat sentiment by 2016 may be too strong ...if Romney wins, [Cankles] would be facing an incumbent.

Which makes you wonder if someone named Bill Crinton isn't cooking up a runaway convention that might deny renomination to Barky Boy.

I'd love it if the GOP convention threw over the traces and went for "somebody else", too ..... by golly.

If the Clintons don't stab King Barry in the back it'll be the first time since Bill was govenor that they failed to get even with someone who crossed them. I've often wondered what sort of bomb Hillary or Bill could and would drop as their own personal October Surprise this year. My wife thinks they'll still work through someone else and let them drop the bomb but I'm not so sure about that. I think they'd want Barry to know who's sticking the knife in and twisting instead of leaving the Chief Idiot to come up with some fantasy that better suits his narcissism.

As if it matters, New York has such a vast majority of Kool-Aid drinkers that his solitary vote is meaningless.
