Bill Clinton's ungracious concession speech its all about me me me

[grantcart]

you would think that he was running for president

have they lost their mind???????????????

[RoveRage]

1. They are running for President, haven't you noticed?

[dancingme]

2. EGO

Bill's ego won't allow him to keep quiet.

[Bonobo]

3. Horrible speech.

[crispini]

4. He just said verbatim, "Vote for me!"

:wtf:

[lurky]

8. !!!!

I need to see that to believe it. If so, he is self-destructing fast.

[crispini]

19. I'm hoping there will be a link on CNN or something on YouTube.

Because I want to hear it again. Maybe I got the context wrong. I *cannot* believe my ears.

[TwilightGardener]

11. He said that? Seriously? Oh God.

[IndianaGreen]

37. I told crispini in another thread that I heard the same thing

Bill telling people to vote for HIM.

[RoveRage]

14. I think I just felt a collective cringe from Hillary supporters.....

....they don't want to admit this, but it's true, he wants to be President again.

[robbedvoter]

15. Not on my teevee...

[crispini]

22. I thought that's what I heard.

I'm sure there will be You Tube or CNN replay, at least I hope so. I honestly hope I misheard it. Because I mean, dayum.

[IndianaGreen]

38. Put the Kool-Aid down. Bill said vote for ME.

I heard the same thing crispini heard, on MSNBC.

[Window]

27. Please tell me he was just kidding!

Peace:thumbsup:

40. Remember Captain Queeg's speech from "The Caine Mutiny?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9KlQPX1qiE

Doesn't it remind you of Clinton's speech?

[Cleita]

5. Exactly my uncomfortable feeling that he is running for his

third term via Hillary. He really is taking this personal. It seems to me more than a spouse standing up for his wife.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. It's not a concession speech it's a rally in a different state

[mtnsnake]

7. It wasn't a concession speech & it's not his fault they covered him.

Write to MSNBC if it bothers you that much that they showed him speaking for a couple minutes.

[1corona4u]

9. Oh, stop the bulshit.....

[robbedvoter]

10. I didn't hear Obama concede 2 defeats. Bill speaks about Hillary, not him

And did congratulate Obam for the victory. Didn't hear any after Nevada, NH.

[cali]

24. Then you weren't listening. I listened to his NH speech and it was

a very gracious concession with a nice shout out to both Clinton and Edwards. Can't speak to the NV speech as I didn't hear it.

[K Gardner]

12. Yes! He started back on the "I, me" theme that was so unpopular months ago !

[grantcart]

13. watch out American Samoa lol

[Raine]

16. UGH I used to really love Bill

but I can't stand him anymore. :-(

[MADem]

17. I just saw him on tv a second ago--he was incredibly gracious. BUT you are confused.

He isn't "conceding."

He isn't the candidate.

Clinton, the Senator, has called, conceded and congratulated.

[Jane Austin]

18. In thanking the Mayor of Independence for the Key to the City,

he said "I'll try not to open too many unwarranted doors with it, but I like having a key."

O.M.G.

Some people might be able to get away with that remark, but not Bill Clinton!

Edit: for accuracy.

[Jane Austin]

23. Oops, he's in Independence, MO, not Nashville.

[CookCountyResident]

30. OMG is right!

He really said that? Sorry, but that's not even funny on a certain level.

[lurky]

39. Oh no.

He is just leaving himself wide open. The late night monologues just write themselves with comments like that.

[Skwmom]

20. Hey Bill what about Rwanda? Or don't you like to talk about that?

I watched Hotel Rwanda or Sometimes in April (can't remember which film) and Clinton gives a speech about how we can never let this happen again. But in the documentary it shows how Clinton not only failed to step up to the plate but advocated pulling out the peace keepers. If Clinton represents the Democratic Party I think the Democrats can say so long to many supporters (and this isn't only black supporters).

[mtnsnake]

21. I don't know of a single Republican who'd be happy with his speech.

[Tellurian]

25. Anyone know where the Caroline Kennedy endorsement came from?

[grantcart]

26. rumored not yet confirmed thought to be made tomorrow

[grantcart]

28. MSNBC having a laugh riot talking about Bill Clinton

cant wait until Leno and Letterman get their pencils out

[democrat2thecore]

29. It's a little psychologically unnerving to be quite honest -nt

[tammywammy]

31. Because it wasn't an concession speech

[chascarrillo]

32. He conceded. Therefore, it's a concession speech.

That's how these things work.

[tammywammy]

34. Hillary's speech is at 9:30pm. That's the concession speech

Bill was at a rally. It was after the results, hence the mention, but otherwise he moved on to what he was there for anyways.

[HughMoran]

33. It's not a concession speech

Are people taking drugs tonight? This is the third time I've had to say this!

[Auntie Bush]

35. Well, us, us, us hasn't been president yet? Dah!

If I remember correctly he was the president. How can he not say me or I?
You're just looking for a fight or something to complain about.

[IndianaGreen]

36. Even Keith Olbermann took notice of that, and that the Clintons are running against Democratic Party

by going to campaign in Florida and trying to get around the DNC's edict about delegates in FL and MI.
