Prometheus 6

No, he does not need his support. At this point, I am not sure of what vote Bill could deliver. Of course, brain damage or not, B. Clinton is typical of many well meaning southern white politicians who love blacks, and their causes, so long as they are in charge. Now, I happen to agree with Bill, that in reality, no one is really ready to be President. Of course, Bill could have stated that fact with more fineness.

It is interesting to watch Bill Clinton as he tries to not show his anger over being called a racist in Hillary's losing bid for the nomination. Bill needs to get over it and stop his passive aggressive, alpha male posturing, if he truly thinks the Obama should win. However, I still think that Bill and Hillary are ready to fracture the party, if not for this election, 2012 is still in their minds.

So, just assume you don't have it, and go on from there.

When you participate in racebaiting the first truly legitimate Black candidate for President of the United States...

What the hell did he think the reaction of the Black community was going to be?

I wrote on this myself.

The penchant for drama never ends with Clinton. If he was about whatever it is that he wants us to believe he is about at least for today, then he would stop whining and do whatever he could to support Obama. The real problem, however, is that he is really not about what he wants us to believe he is about. He is all about Bill. Another flawed American product co-produced by Kneegrow leadership.

I wrote on this myself.

Yeah, I saw. I almsot linked it with the title "rikyrah is sooooooo back from vacation."

Nobody called Clinton a racist.

I'm tired of them blaming the reaction caused by their words on Obama like black folks can't think for themselves. That's racist in itself.

I think they're racist. Just because they're nice about it doesn't make it any less so. But nobody called them racist.

Bill Clinton needs to get over it. He and the rest of his wives' supporters are acting awfully, what's that word everybody's throwing around when talking about Obama but not applying to white candidates even though they claim not to be racist? Oh yeah, presumptious.

Black folks called Br. Bill's comments racist. I certainly know that I did and I refuse to apologize or change my mind about what he said. As far as I can tell, many, many members of the black electorate feel this way about things that he and other Clintonians said during the primary. His most recent outburst on this issue should be seen for what it is: an effort to undermine Obama's candidacy. Black folks are not fooled and Br. Bill is protesting too much. He could spend the remainder of his life in Africa and it wouldn't change our interpretation of the behavior he displayed during the primary. In addition, black folks are not fooled at all by the efforts of Hillary Clinton's campaign, while being managed by a black woman, Margaret Anne Williams, to implement the southern strategy by making a direct appeal to white voters.

Bill Clinton needs to support Barack Obama not for Obama's sake but his own. One of the the things overlooked in this election cycle is the fact that Democrats have made net gains in staunchly red districts in Illinois and Louisiana. These were accomplished at the height of the Rev. Wright brouhaha.

Contrast this against Bill Clinton's reign in which Democrats lost their congressional majority. Bill and Hillary enriched themselves and their select supporters but never did anything for the party. Bill's dalliances cost Al Gore his race.

And now all signs point to a resurgent Democratic tide in the fall culminating in an Obama presidency. If Bill gets in the way of this he will be in a netherworld occupied by LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and far removed great uncle's cousins on the step-father's side. While Vietnam fractured his presidency, what makes LBJ irredeemable (in the manner of Truman) was the fact that Johnson actively undermined Humphrey and directly contributed to Nixon's victory.

Bill's image can only be improved by taking this small break to help Obama. But this seems unlikely given the political dog whistle he just blew about nobody being ready to be president. Just a no class, PWT, acolyte of Senator Fulbright.

In all fairness, didn't Fullbright have a little more class than Br. Bill.

Yeah. It does seem to me that Clinton is undermining Obama's campaign. Now, at least, he argue that he wasn't purposely undermining his wife's campaign cause he's still running off at the mouth. And for all the adulations, Clinton did lose a congressional majority.

Well I, for one, never called Bill a racist.

Racially resentful, now, that's different.

Just the fact that Barack Obama is running for president is exposing a lot of things about America that I'm sure we all knew. Anyway, I think we are witnessing the changing-of-guard of the Democratic party, and Billary (Hillary and Bill) are not liking it at all. I suspect that they are hoping for an Obama defeat.

"I suspect that they are hoping for an Obama defeat."

Obama losing the election will not cause folks to embrace the Clintons. Their time has come and is going.

Mr and Mrs C want to be wooed, wined and dined by the big O. (Barack, not Oprah)
I still feel it is up to Sen Obama to take one day out of his schedule and devote it to mending fences with Bill Clinton.
There is no downside. Holary's supporters, of which I am one, will fall into line this week at the convention.
Whatever beefs and grievances, resentments or slights we may have and feel, NONE of them matter when it comes to important issues like Supreme Court appointments.
No Democrat in their right mind wants a REP President to select the next SC Justices.

So, please...let us be disappointed that Sen Clinton is not on the ticket. Let us whine a little bit, and look appropriately sad. Let us pine for what might have been and give us some space. Don't worry, we will do the right thing in the end.
and Jmac's ads have done nothing but offend and insult us. The nerve of that man to think he can tell us how to feel over the VEEP selection and that we would run to him for comfort! That was a bad move on their (REPS) part.

I still feel ripping PUMAs a new asshole is the right thing to do, but I find that a reasonable request.

We have been letting you white and pout and pine. But some of you keep asking for some stuff you and/or the Clintons don't deserve?

Obama needs to take a day to mend fences with Bill? Exactly what did Obama say or do to hurt Bill's feelings? It's Bill's own fault that he came across as racist. He should be sucking up to Obama, who won, not the other way around.

Admittedly Susan, you're catching some angst you individually perhaps don't deserve. But make no doubt about it, some of Hillary's supporters, like the ones who swear they won't vote for Obama under any circumstance, need to be ripped a new one.

I mean really. "Wooed, wined, and dined"? The Clintons LOST!!
