Hmm. So it's fine if Bill Clinton attacks Obama but

[cali]

if Obama fights back it's just wrong. WTF? Bill Clinton isn't some deity who's untouchable. He threw himself into this fray full force and has played hard ball. What exactly makes you think that Bill should get a free ride? I don't know if fighting back against Bill's attacks (attacks bad enought that he's been chastized by Emanuel and Kennedy) will help or hurt Obama, but I do know that Bill's the one who made himself part of this fray. Don't like it? Blame it on Bill.

[babylonsister]

1. Amen! nt

[NMDemDist2]

2. hell no, let Obama take his best shot

hell, I pay for tickets to see it

:popcorn:

[KennedyGuy]

3. Let him try..

the more he is seen next to Bill..the more his obvious inexperience shows..
Bring it on...

[Cameron27]

Same here!

[Renew Deal]

8. Exactly

Let's see what happens. :D

[sufrommich]

22. Me too. nt

[angie_love]

4. ..

Hey Bill is just shooting himself in the foot, the media is picking up on his boorish ways and if anything hes just hurting Hillary, so I say let it continue happening.

[papau]

33. The Las Vegas Sun confirmed the truth of Bill's remarks re the casinio voting

[pdxmom]

5. And if Obama doesn't fight back, then he will be considered too "weak"

to go up against the Repukes. It's being set up as a lose/lose situation.

Bill has put himself as the attack dog right smack in the middle of this, and Obama has every right to respond to whatever is said. Obama is being hurt right now by allowing the attacks to sit out there for public consumption. Can't hurt him any more to defend himself.

[Tellurian]

16. Thats just it! Obama NEVER responds himself..

He issues a campaign press release... He never speaks for himself, similar to his "present" vote.

He's "present" for the Press Release! Thats it!

[MethuenProgressive]

6. Clinton should fight back against Obama's Swiftboat tactics.

Get used to having Clinton fight back against Obama's dirty tricks and Swiftboat tactics.
And try to stop whining so much, it's really unattractive.

[tabatha]

18. which ones?

[gaiilonfong]

7. Bill is a megalomaniac

and just plain power-hungry

[NMDemDist2]

10. LOL, no he's just the most charismatic politician of our age

and he's never run from a fight.

[gaiilonfong]

19. and never run from embrasing the Bushies

and covering up for Poppy Bush's Iran Contra crimes.

[NMDemDist2]

25. hey, nobody said he was perfect

:eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

38. White male or gay latino?

Which is it?

[JVS]

39. and a douchebag

:popcorn:

[Skip Intro]

9. Blame it on Bill...

Unite with that other site, that's their mantra too.

[NJObamaWoman]

11. Most Definately....eom

[ruggerson]

12. He should fight anyone he feels he should fight

were I his advisor I'd tell him this was not a good move, if winning is his objective.

[BeyondGeography]

13. But it's going to hurt him with whites and Latinos

:scared:

[Adelante]

That seems to be the argument

Obama gets to run against two Clintons; one of them the symbolic head of the Democratic Party who has decided to wallow in the mud.

Obama gets to STFU, because ... I don't know, actually. :shrug:

[GoldieAZ49]

31. Exactly!

Obama is running against Hillary, supposedly.

Her feelings are hurt cuz her like-ability is questioned?

Then he has to apologize to her for saying she is "likable enough"??? That was to gracious to begin with!

She tears up cuz the road to the White House is tough, and she doesn't want to see the country go backwards???

Can you imagine if it had been Obama? He would be done! (BTW ANOTHER Clinton presidency IS GOING BACKWARDS!!)

What if Michelle Obama calls Hillary saying how difficult the Monica ordeal was on the Tyra Show is a FAIRY TALE? hmmm? That she stayed with Bill through all of his infidelities for her own political ambitions.

What other candidate in the primaries has had to run against the attacks of a former POTUS that is not suppose to be running again.

I think it shows Hillary is not a candidate in her own right, she cannot compete with hiding behind Bill's coattails.

[Tellurian]

37. Huh..Obama issued the challenge..

He's appearing on GMAmerican tomorrow am to make it official..

Swiftboating Bill? :rofl:

Let the Good Times Roll!

[Tellurian]

14. Obama is too much of a Coward... he'd never face Clinton one on one!

[cali]

15. duh. that's exactly what he's doing. n/t

[Renew Deal]

17. Your comment makes no sense.

He's the one getting double teamed.

[jefferson_dem]

27. Yeah sure. Obama's a coward.

This man, running for POTUS. Surely a coward.

[bigdarryl]

35. don't EVER underestimate a black man are you nuts

[Cha]

36. Yes, Obama would face bill the shill and

come out the winner.

[BenDavid]

20. just who out of all the hrc supporters in here has written that

obama cannot defend himself? Hell, I sure haven't and all I said was , Obama, you let the Big Dawg know the time and the place and I am sure he will be there.

hrc supporters in here did not go all looney tunes when elizabeth edwards said things about bill and hillary.....nor did we all go looney tunes when michelle obama said "So our view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House."

All I know is obama got JUKED by the clintons and his ego has now over-ridden his sense......Good luck Mr O.....Don't say I didn't warn ya.....

[tokenlib]

21. This is a trap for Obama...

Bill deserves to get reprimanded and admonished. But Obama should leave it to surrogates. For Obama to confront Bill Clinton is Bill's wet dream. It feeds his monstrous Ego. Obama needs to back off and focus on the issues and everything else going on. This is getting off course--and there is too little time to get into a rumble with Bill. While Obama tussles with Bill, Hillary will be harvesting votes..


Hell, Bill wants this more than Hillary. We really get two for the price of one. It's a co-presidency for sure. The third term for Bill--and legal!!
Barack needs to answer Bill without engaging him.

[desi]

23. Nothing wrong with Obama striking back.

Our Democratic president has fought and conquered many better equipped and financed radical right wing foes. He should be concerned about a wet-behind-the-ears empty suit? I think not.

[jefferson_dem]

24. That's what I'm talking about!

n/t

[Barack_America]

26. The nice thing about Bill is that even if Obama makes a joke...

about "inhaling" or what-have-you, Bill will explode in anger.

It won't take much. And, yes, it will happen.

[ZinZen]

34. Yeah, I have noticed that Bill cannot keep his

temper in check like he used to. Now he is radioactive explosive versus jokey and affable.

[TriMetFan]

28. Just wondering???????

Is Obama going to ask his wife to stop campaigning on his behalf? What about Elizabeth Edwards? Obama should think twice about going after Bill. Bill is just the spouse of Hillary, who is just campaigning for his spouse. This would not be a big deal to Obama if Bill had not been President. Obama should ask his friend Oprah to hit the campaign trail again and not go after Bill.

[Nimrod2005]

29. I hope Obama and Co. take the gloves off IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner

[Tashca]

30. Maybe it's time

Personally...I would love to see a good smackdown.....I'm not sure who would win to be truthful.
I don't think it will ever happen.

Let's see who can really fight for their beliefs....no more backhanded bullshit...

[madrchsod]

32. another 8 years of hillary and bill?

is dennis`s mothership here yet?
