things in the closet...

"Bill Clinton thought so little of President Obama — mocking him as an “amateur” — that he pressed his wife last summer to quit her job as secretary of state and challenge him in the primaries, a new book claims,
“The country needs you!” the former president told Hillary Clinton, urging her to run this year, according to accounts of the conversation included in Edward Klein’s new biography of Obama.
The title of Klein’s explosive, unauthorized bio of Obama, “The Amateur” (Regnery Publishing), was taken directly from Bill Clinton’s bombshell criticism of the president, the author said."

"“Barack Obama,” Bill Clinton said, according to book excerpts, “is an amateur.”
The withering criticism is incredible, given the fact that Bill Clinton is actively campaigning for Obama’s re-election.
But according to the book, Bill Clinton unloaded on Obama and pressed Hillary to run against her boss during a gathering in the ex-president’s home office in Chappaqua last August that included longtime friends, Klein said.
“The economy’s a mess, it’s dead flat. America has lost its Triple-A rating . . . You know better than Obama does,” Bill said.
Bill Clinton insisted he had “no relationship” with Obama and had been consulted more frequently by his presidential successor, George W. Bush"

Do not know how true it is, but we surely believe anything we hear about Romney so why not

Bill Clinton 'told Hillary to run against President Obama'| US election 2012 News | The Week UK (http://www.theweek.co.uk/politics/us-election-2012/46878/bill-clinton-told-hillary-run-against-president-obama)

"Klein insists the conversation is factually sound, stating that he interviewed two guests present at the meeting. However, Bill Clinton's spokesman has called the allegations 'totally and completely false' and branded Klein a 'known liar'. White House spokesman Eric Schultz has said 'nobody in their right mind' would believe the accusations." From above linked story.

A lot of folks have made the mistake of underestimating Obama.

Including Osama Bin Laden.

So when is Hillary Clinton going to announce her challenge to President Obama? It's getting a little late in the game to run a campaign against an incumbent president.

Edward Klein's book can take it's place right up there with Sheriff Joe Arpaio's bombshell announcement and Donald Trump's investigators in Hawaii, and Orly Taitz' lawsuit to keep the president off the ballot in GA.

Yet some posters were all excited about the character of Romney based on, what now is becoming untrue, allegations of a high school caper FORTY FIVE years ago.....go figure huh ?

And then there are his doctors comments....."" Obama’s former physician, who is a liberal, blasts the president for being uncaring, and perhaps worse, incompetent."

But of course I will wait for the slander suit which with all this untruth is right around the corner.

You folks REALLY DO BELIEVE in this mans perfection as he does ~!!! WOW THAT kind of adoration and short sightedness is a bit alarming to me, at least. I can honestly say in my adult life I have never had that kind of total committent to any one person other than my wife, but sad to say even she has flaws...this man, it appears, has NONE.

He may have flaws but compared to anyone from the Republican Party he is a giant. :smiley:

If there's one person who understood politics and 'the mob' (the people), it's Bill Clinton. There is NO WAY that he would have made such statements because a primary fight against an incumbent is political suicide for the party.

Now, him urging his wife to run in *2016* and saying "your country needs you" - THAT I would believe.

What Bill Clinton would say in private as opposed to what he'd say publicly are probably two very different things.

So true...he is a true party guy and all I can recall is the hate in this mans eyes in South Carolina when the Obama team called him a racist during the 2008 primary. This man was angry....and who knows when he gets his take back !!!
