Mr. President, with all due respect, give your jaw muscles a rest & your wife the stage
The man is becoming an embarrassment with his past week's worth of comments about Senator Barack Obama. Does the good Senator from New York have strategy sessions with him on these comments of his before hand? If not, reign him in! If so, then shame on her, but for some reason I feel he's just out there saying whatever comes off the top of his head - and it's rather uninspiring, sleazy, and under the belt.

His reference to Obama putting some type of "hit job" on him is bizarre sounding, and his saying Hillary has no chance in South Carolina because people are going to vote for a female if they're a female, and vote for a black if they're black, is really racist in tone, because of what he ended his comment with - about the amount of black people in S. Carolina, "that's why people tell me Hillary doesn't have a chance of winning here."

This is really disturbing to see the former President of the United States be so hyper-political, because when he says anything it will get air-time. There's nothing wrong with him propping up his wife wherever he goes, and to take slight digs at the opponents, but to say the stuff he's saying right now makes me dislike him, and I have backed the former President heartily since he won his first primary in '92, and outside of saying he shamed himself and disrespected the office when he had his affair in the Oval Office, have backed him up till he started acting more like a sleeze-like Faux & Friends talking head than a highly respected world ambassador and former leader of our country.


Mr. President, lighten up your rhetoric, this shouldn't be about YOU, it's about Hillary, Barack, and former Senator John Edwards.

1. It's not about THEM either.
It's about US. The people, as John said at the debate.

Clinton shouldn't be forgetting that, but, then again, we shouldn't either.

2. I concede this should be MSM topic number one.
The fighting is turning stomachs but Obama can't let Bill sledgehammer him with his sniping.

I'd really like to see Edwards grab some more traction in SC.

3. even better!
they're the candidates trying to get our attention, but you're right - as John says, it's about the people, and the former President just sounds like he is itching to get in the White House any way he can, and that's really unflattering.

4. with Bill yapping this week, and the news of the stimulus package
for the corporations, I'm not to pleased with our "Democratic" party. They're really pissing me off.
:mad:

I gotta go get some fresh air, but anyone have news on whether Bill's blatant disregard for civility in the campaign is coming back to hurt her campaign???

Thanks
