Interesting Comment By Bill Clinton

**Annie** · #1 08-04-2008, 01:59 PM

Okay most of you have probably seen this but did you see the last comment Bill made? I find it fascinating!

"I never was mad at Sen. Obama," the former president said. "I think everybody's got a right to run for president who qualifies under the Constitution. And I'd be the last person to begrudge anybody their ambition."

OH MY! I didn't read that!

Thanks, Annie - yup, that line says it all... one must qualify

I also liked the part where he indicates he WILL discuss things publically in January. Until then, us PUMAs will handle it

Bill is really a great man! I love him! His words are very incredible: He isn't a racist!

**samkm** · #5 08-04-2008, 02:11 PM

Min-quals + ambition!

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it entirely. Bill is very masterful in his use of words.

**neophyter** · #8 08-04-2008, 02:16 PM

Do you think he meant those words for Axelrod and Brazile and Dean and... well, all of those hi-jackers.

If they pick Obama as the nominee, I hope Bill gets a bad cold and has to stay home on that day. But I know he loves a crowd and a party!

Dont mess with the Clintons.

**eyedoc333** · #11 08-04-2008, 02:43 PM

Based on that comment, I had a wild thought--

At the (un)Democratic convention, an official runs up to the podium and announces that Obama is not qualified under the Constitution to become President due to a bogus birth certificate....Hillary is greeted by cheers as she saves the day.

OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Why would he use that line? The antonym of qualify is FAIL. Very interesting.

I've read this quote before, but that part never jumped out at me until now.

Bill is that damn good with words!

**Johnf** · #14 08-04-2008, 03:15 PM

So the question is: Is Obama qualified under the constitution?

**Amy Dugan** · #15 08-04-2008, 03:34 PM

Fox
Shepherd had 2 guests (??names) both agree Bill is not jumping up and down as a cheerleader for Obama, seething when he said I never was upset at Obama campaigns are full of punches which they started the negative way before we did but media only reported our campaign did the negative jabs and started it. They said he could have said Obama is ready (remember he said Hillary is ready on day 1) instead Clinton said nobody is ready to be president not even VP of 8 years. guests agreed it was a convulated way to avoid complementing obama.

what the f**k clinton complemented the campaign being planned out ahead and obama is smart and gifted.

**evolin** · #16 08-04-2008, 04:09 PM

Was picking apart everything Bill said and complaining that he did not say BO would be a great president and held back from saying he was qualified....not a direct quote but the gist of it. Then a guest chimed in that Bill saying he was not a racist sounded like Richard Nixon saying he was not a crook. He added that Bill was 'losing it'
I sent them an email complaining about their picking on Bill.
Email below:
" I despise the attitude you folks have about Bill Clinton. I hope he NEVER openly supports B.Obama. Bill and Hillary are not racists and Bill is NOT "losing it' as one of your 'smart Alec' guests implied.
I stopped watching most of the news casts because of the slanted coverage, but now you are starting the slanted coverage against the Clintons......so goodbye!!!!
Yes, I am a Hillary supporter and will be forever and will NOT vote for the DNC selected candidate BO. They forced HRC out but millions of us are still her supporters and will not support this inexperienced selection.
When you (Fox commentators) are so against a person and so opinionated, then I will stop watching you. Bill gave no reason in his comments for such a brutal verbal attack against him.
Ev ........ - from Ohio( a state that will never go Obama)"

there was just some nasty young girl on neal cavoto's fox news show whos said some real nasty stuff about bill clinton ....she better be careful there are still alot of americans who love the clintons...

**Santiago** · #18 08-04-2008, 04:19 PM

Bill was very careful in his choice of word, but the message is clear.

There was a thread on this a while back it had the exact wording. May have to revisit.

Oh, wait, that was MY daydream!!

Yes, one thing we know for sure, Bill Clinton speaks his mind, and knows exactly what he is saying for public consumption.

**diane** · #21 08-04-2008, 04:24 PM

Ahh.. the days when we had a Rhodes Scholar as a President! For Two Terms even!

Now we've got a alcoholic (off the wagon!) and if Hillary is not the Dem Nom, a substance abuser (still using) who will run for President.

If not Hillary, then thank goodness for McCain!!
