Bill Clinton: Obama Played Race Card On Me

lmao whinning about that Bill Clinton. how does it feel to have a lable like that. Then to end off being a hothead like McCain shows your true colors just like cai

I hope the press keeps on interviewing Bill because everytime he opens his mouth, Obama get another vote.

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE FULL INTERVIEW? TIRED OF JUST HEARING THAT ONE ANSWER – WHICH SEEMS CUT OFF.

I really can’t wait until this thing is over and we don’t have to listen to the whining Clintons anymore! They’ve become incredibly annoying.

the only problem I see with this is Rick Klein calling President Clinton’s remarks an “outburst”. He sounds perfectly calm and reasoned to me. Why do you all try to out FOX each other and make controversy where none exists?

That’s right Jeb.
Time for both of the mudslinging candidates to go.
Interesting that you should quote the man who can win the White House.
But, they won’t. These two will fight all the way to the convention in August.
And, Al Gore, the only truly qualified candidate with any respect, will be nominated.
Remember 1968…

It is true that Obama played the race card first as part of his Rovian tactic to hit his opponent on his strengths. There is a four page memo sent by Obama’s campaign to the press with talking points for the media in how to paint the Clintons as racists. The media has done a poor job in exposing the racist element in Obama’s campaign.

Bill the Bubba has nobody to blame but himself. More than once, his egotistical mouth got his wife Hillary into trouble.

This adds insult to injury.
He DID do it. And now, to BLAME Obama??
I think the Clintons have lost it.

Obama has been playing the race card all along…His its time for a change speeches are aimed at African Americans to get them on his side to vote for him. Obama is a joke, if he happens to hold on and win the nomination for democratic candidate, my vote will go over to Mccain. No way do i want that joke Obama to be my leader.

Bill is IDIOT

Bill – I feel your pain.

I think it’s absolutely hysterical that all of keep taking Obama’s side. Obama is not right. He is not trying to make this country better. He has another agenda. GET A CLUE!!!!!

Hillary Voters are Secret “Bill for a 3rd term” voters. Come on guys, what experience does she “really” have? The media won’t say it so I will, if Hillary was not married to Bill, she never would have made it this far, any credibility she had when she started was only because he was president before and her husband. The wool has been pulled over many eyes. Don’t believe the hype, a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill in the Oval Office again.

I am an avid Hillary supporter. But, I would so love Bill to shut up.

I wish i could vote for Bill for a 3rd term..The economy was doing so much better quickly once he started office and stayed on the upbeat the whole time he was in office. Bill has said he would be a big help to Hill if she wins and i support the Clintons whole heartedly. If obama wins the nomination my vote will go to Mccain. Obama will ruin this country even more than Mccain will.

If Hillary hadn’t decided to attack Obama for running, as if she was the only one that deserved to, then maybe they would have BOTH been doing the job. All she had to do was save her dirty tactics for the Repubs, but instead she chose to attack her own. For Obama’s credit, he has been trying to fight fair and getting called names like ‘OBAMBI” for being decent to a fellow Dem and trying to get his point across without attacking her. She has been attacking him like a vicious dog. I loved the Clintons back in the day, would have loved the duel ticket that would have surely beat any Repub, but Hillary made the decision that if she wasn’t going to be Prez, no Dem would be so she and Bill decided to destroy the party.

Let me ask Bill Clinton a question: What exactly did you mean when you dismissed Obama’s win saying that “well Jesse Jackson won in South Carolina”.
I would like to ask Bill Clinton, why did he pick Jesse Jackson of all people to compare Obama to, why did he not pick John Edwards who won South Carolina, in 2004. Why didn’t Bill compare Obama’s win to John Edwards? Why did he choose instead to compare Obama’s win to Jesse Jackson who won South Carolina in 1984 (OVER 20 YEARS AGO).
Bill Clinton, like the rest of America knows what Bill was trying to say, and it was that — yes Obama won, but it’s not a big deal, remember folks 20 YEARS AGO, the other black candidate Jesse Jackson won South Carolina too –
Bill Clinton’s problem is that he has deep seated racial issues with blacks, and now he is just ###### that everyone else knows it too.

I have no problem with Obama being proud of his heritage. I expect more black votes to go his way because of this. Hillary has never tried to accuse Obama or anyone in his campaign of being chauvinists. There is the difference. To compound the point, Obama tries to be above the frey and say he does not use dirty campaing tricks, and that race is not a key part of his campaign.
Just because he says he is running a clean campaign does not make it a fact.
For some reason he and his supporters have a problem with facts and reality.
He has fooled many, he is delusional in some of the retorhic he gives out.
He alone is going to change Washington and Politics. Get real. This is coming from a guy that has not even submitted any sugnificant legislation since he has been a Senator, much less gotten anything passed. Just ask the Governor of Wisconsin that supported him. He drew a blank when asked that specific question. This is not a football game where everyone stands up with the wave because it is fun without knowing what they are standing up for.
Think!

You sure do use a whole lot of words to say nothing. Why should we give someone who has not proven to be anything more than a bag of wind a chance at presidency. He has proven nothin, and has no experience. Yes, Hillary being first lady gave her much much experience. She got to see first hand how the president should act, Bill did a wonderful job, all but the one Monica Lewinski thing, which doesnt bother me at all. Cheating goes on all the time and his wife forgave him so everyone else should to. I bet most people here know someone close that has cheated on their spouse and it was forgiven. Get over it

Bill Clinton was my first choice, in ’92. And, although I was a bit disappointed with his first term, I hung in for him in ’96. But I have learned to despise him. And I can just imagine the problems he would cause as defacto vice president. Hillary would need to get a divorce before the election, for me to consider voting for her.

Well said “windrider”. You nailed it!
We do all need to stop fighting (Dems) Cindy McCain was on the VIEW yesterday and said (loose interpretation) “we hope the Democratic contest goes on for a long time, its better for us”.
I hope we can come together, but the wounds may be too deep this time.

Obama will never beat McCain end of subject.

Used to luv the old Bill
Time to put him out to PASTURE!
How sad!
An ex Republican repulsed by the Clintons and voting for OBAMA.
Enough is enough

What I heard/saw Bill say was, “Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ran a good campaign with the black vote and still didn’t get the nomination.” He was caught on film saying this. The Clintons were fine with the African American support as long as it was for ‘them’ and their causes. When an African American decided to run for the Presidency against Hillary they dismissed him as a nuisance. Go away boy, we got this! Then along came New Hampshire and she lost the first test of the campaign and the Clinton’s got annoyed with him. But the Clinton’s still had allot of the black vote. Hillary ever so smug and cerebral comment about Martin Luther King and Bill’s comment about Jesse and Al were enough for African Americans. They had enough and defected in droves. The Clinton’s have no-one to blame but themselves. They just knew that Hillary should be winning this thing. They then went to Hispanics and starting courting them. They need another minority to carry them over. But Hispanics are not widespread and loyal to any one party. Only to themselves.

I am right there with you. If my choice for president is Obama or Mccain, Mccain will get my vote hands down…

What’s wrong with most of you? It’s freaking politics. You are taking their campaign way too personal. I agree they are messing up the party and hopefully we can get down to getting the republicans out of the white house soon. More importantly than that is getting them out of the house. I think either would do an great job.

I think people hear what they want to hear. When did Barack inject race into this campaign? That would be suicide if he were only to be seen as the “black” candidate. African Americans only make up 12% of the US population. Why on earth would that be a strategy to him? Bill Clinton brought up Jesse Jackson and has not provided a valid reason for doing so. He wanted Barack to be seen as only the “black” candidate like Jesse Jackson was because he knew then Barack would have no chance of winning. Then Ferraro said Barack was lucky to be Black, which is ridiculous, he had to respond to that. They were bating him. The Clinton camp wants to make this about race because they know that’s a battle they can win.

Clinton is the Race card. All of his accomplishments on the so call behalf of African Americans was all about Clinton, now he show’s how he is the Race card, why is he so frustrated. The man only helped African American’s when their was a feather for his hat. And we all are not African Americans, I’m a black American.

The one thing i like about this 08 campaign is whites did not, NOT vote for obama because he was black and blacks did not cast their votes for him JUST because he is black. Obama had to really work for the African American votes. They were NOT running to the polls to cast their votes from him. Does the media really think African-Americans are sitting around waiting for a Black President? I mean really? African Americans are very cautious and brand loyal people. Hillary had their support in the beginning, again until the comments. Hillary failed to reach out. She ran her campaign on entitilement and she believed her own press clippings! What a shame. I feel Hillary is un electable in the general election because she’s a brand! She’s a household name brand and can’t beat this no name senator who spent 10 minutes in the senate and spent most of his career working for the people of Illnois! I never knew anything about Obama until now and you can’t beat him. What a shame!! The way I see it, Obama is suppose to fight hard to win this thing. He’s competing against a brand. But Hillary, you can’t win in the primaries or the general election. PA please put her out of her misery, end this thing please!!!

Bill Clinton is only rooting for his wife, the whole united states of america knows everything about both of them, if they dont they have been living under a rock. very little is known about Obama and if he haden’t brought out the fact his mom is white daddy black no one would have known about it, so i think he brought out that fact from the beginning hoping that would give him a better chance of running for and getting elected, it is some screwed thought in his head, i could care less if he was purple or any color i wouldn’t vote for him because he has no experience. at least Hillary has a ace in the hole ‘Bill’, what has Obama have . a bunch of loser’s following him. Obama has played the race card from the very beginning.

Bill should have known that and be careful for sure. The very first race card cast by Obama is framing Joe Biden to be a racist simply because Biden complemented him. Obama destroyed Biden’s campaign on the very day it started, actually never able to get started.
Talking about frustration, ask Biden about it. The phonyhypocirte Obama cannot be touched because of media’s blindness. You cannot criticize him – you are racist if you do that – and you cannot praise him – you are racist when you complement him if you are his oppenent because blacks are not clean nor articulate according to Obama. If anything Clinton is not known to be anywhere associated with racial divide, the kind of division played and used skillfully by Obama.
What has already been divided by this phonyhypocrite!

This is not new information. Several objective sources (including Princeton historian Sean Wilentz) made this observation after researching the sequence of the events–two months ago.
USE YOUR HEAD–AND YOUR SEARCH MACHINE.
VOTE SMART.

Independent, As an Independent voter I agree with you totally. The Clintons appeal to no one but hard core Democratic voters.

Bill and Hillary for sure can’t be trusted. I am white and can see, what he was doing. That’s why Lewis decided to back Obama, he saw the writing on the wall. And for me, Mr Obama gets my vote. Several of us, in Lancaster was talking about how they use people, especially Blacks, We are trying to turn this race around for Obama, she needs to get out of the race! She will suprise of the outcome…heading directly to Obama. It’s a waiting game now, I will pray for Mr Obama. with hopes that people, My People will vote with a clear heart, and not look at color.

Obama came to Biden’s defense during a debate (remember?)
And I think when 90 percent of African Americans were voting for Bill Clinton, everything seemed to be just fine. Bill and Hillary have apologized to black audiences, appearing to reference S.C. Now I’m just wondering: what, precisely, were they apologizing for?

I’m torn: Vote for Obama and hope we can move on to happier times, or vote for Hillary knowing happier times will come through Saturday Night Live’s skits of Bill running amoq in the Whitehouse?

Someday soon, I hope that we can have a woman president who is not the spouse of a former president. Perhaps after Michelle Obama’s second term?

Speeches by politicians are crafted to appeal to segments of the public. So when they use race in their speeches it is not to heal but to exploit the well proven divide and rule tactic. When someone as smart as Bill Clinton says it is meant for some of us. He knows that it will resonate with some of us. I wish we will move away from being divisive and focus on healing the nation.

Obama is getting people of every ethnicity to vote for him, whites, blacks, hispanics, and asians, and people of all ages, BECASUE they believe he can be a good president. Democrats are not seeing color, they are seeing a MAN who has worked in the government for 12 years, and man who speaks clearly and specifically about the solutions for the many issues facing this country, such as the economy, the war, health care, education, the environment.
People are voting for Obama because they have heard his message about getting the special interest, and lobbyist OUT of Washington, and making the focus of Washington, to work for the citizens of this country, the citizens who are working hard everyday, and paying their taxes.

You have gotta love Bill Clinton!! It is about time someone came out and stated the truth. Too often white people get called racist, andI believe it is the other way around. How dare Barack Obama plan an attack like that when Bill Clinton did more for the black community than any other president. Obama is a non experienced, over played hypocrit and I would go against my democrat beliefs and vote for John McCain over him. It is a disgrace that he has made it this far and I do not in any way mean that because of the color of his skin!

LISTEN PEOPLE! You all are so offensive and are blind to where this mess always start. From the VERY BEGINNING of this campaign, THE CLINTONS (Martin Luther King DREAM WAS NOT REALIZED UNTIL LBJ SIGNED THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL) and their backers began the race card. Please let’s be honest. The Obama camp stated that they should keep RACE out of the campaign and focus on CAMPAIGN ISSUES. They allowed THE JOURNALISTS, PRESS AND MEDIA to push this thing where it became offensive to the AFRO-AMERICANS. Then the statement was MADE BY BILL CLINTON AFTER OBAMA WON SOUTH CAROLINA. The press asked him what did he have to say about the large win Mr. Obama won in South Carolina after he had won overwhelming when he ran. Bill stated,”Well, when Jesse Jackson ran he won the state….” You all MUST UNDERSTAND THAT Afro-Americans have wised up to the race games and DON’T BLAME THEM WHEN THEY STAND UP TO THESE TACTICS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. Mrs. Clinton was ahead ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES IN THE POLLS before they OPENED THEIR MOUTHS AND PUT THEIR FOOT IN IT. The Clintons actually started this mess and don’t blame Mr. Obama about it. When he did respond, he stated as JFK said, “i’m am not running as an Afro-American, but a political candidate for president of the United States of America. Please be honest and call a spade a spade and not look through eyes of PREJUDICE, PARTIALITY, RACISM, AND DISHONESTY! NO ONE WEARS A LAPEL PIN OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG ‘DAILY’. Why are they pressuring this man (MR. Obama) on such DUMB AND TRIVIA issues? They are trying to make him feel they are in control of him. Why have not they showed where Bill Clinton with Rev. Wright when he invited Rev. Wright to pray for him after he committed adultery; Why have they not showed how Rezko raised money for Bush ($300M) and the Clintons ($12+M)and how he pardoned the underground guy who was appointed 20+ yrs later to a board that Mr. Obama was on. This is a serious problem I have with the HONESTY AND FAIRNESS. You want to HOLD ONE PERSON TO A STANDARD that YOU HAVE BROKEN AND NOT CORRECTED BEFORE it was presented to me. I tell you of a TRUTH, GOD WILL SET THIS THING IN ORDER.

Hillary and Bill made their offensive comments on Jan 7: Bill a fairy tale and calling Obama a boy. Hill made her MLK and LBJ comment twice. She had also commented about Obama having to do the spadework.
Jesse Jackson’s comment about Katrina was made on Jan 9.

The best comment I’ve heard recently that perfectly summarizes the Clinton obsession for the White House was made by Andrew Sullivan, Senior Editor for The Atlantic, on the Chris Matthews show.
Asked whether Hillary Clinton would step aside if she ended up trailing in the number of states won, trailing in the popular vote, and trailing in the number of pledged delegates, Sullivan said simply “Gollum will never relinquish the ring.”

Obama is all talk and “YES” he would not have been where he is today if he was not a black man. so it’s convenient to play the race card when applicable. Double standards as usual.

Time and time again the public allows the media to keep them on their toes and looking for ways for Hillary Clinton to win. It isn’t there.
The rules that elect the Democratic nominee is by the number of delegates won. Period. Will Obama have enough to secure the nomination? No BUT and this is the big one. He will have more. He will have won more states. He will have won the popular vote.
There are not enough contest left for Clinton to pass him in any of the 3 above.
It is the perception that have the party leaders demanding that for the good of the party the supers throw their support behind the front runner. They have already begun doing so and will continue because it is the democratic process that matters to the party. Always.
The rules will apply and the media knows this.
Polls are up daily but I did one of my own.
I went back to the contest after Super tuesday and looked at the media.
Between contests they are very supportive of Obama but within a week of each contest since then they become harbingers of doom where he is concerned and it does give Hillary the boost she needs to stay in the race. Not the money or the competent machine behind her that Obama continues to enjoy regardless of what the media does, but it allowes her to stay.
I then checked the political affliation of the major news networks and the main internet rag lists such as this one. 72% are Republican.
Every picture tells a story dosen’t it

Remember how the Democrats screamed that the Presidency had been stolen from Al Gore? LOL Now we have Clinton supporters willing to let her steal it from the man who earned it.

It is a know fact that the Obama supporter played the race care right after he lost New Hampshire. It was played by Jessie Jackson Jr. on MSNBC. The wind up came on Hardball by Obama supporter Micheal Eric Dyson, when he began pushing the Tom Bradley effect. Obama supporter think all American are stupid and naive. As Farraro stated because he is an African American he is as far as he is, Obama used race in January and he is still using it now. More educates the candidate and HIS supporter are the less they to use common sense.

OF COURSE OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN PLAYED THE RACE CARD AND ANY LOGICAL THINKING PERSON COULD SEE THAT. BILL CLINTON’S STATEMENT WAS TWISTED COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT JUST SO OBAMA WOULD COME OUT ON TOP. I BELEIVE OBAMA PLAN TO USE THIS TACTIC ALL ALONG AND THAT IS WHY AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!

Bill Clinton, the only Democrat elected to two terms as President since FDR, unlike Obama boosters Jimmy Carter, Teddy Kennedy, and John Kerry; Bill Clinton, a Democrat who could actually carry the big states, unlike Barack Obama, and break into the South, unlike John Kerry, is absolutely right on this point. It was obvious at the time of the South Carolina primary and it is obvious now.
The Obama campaign and a number of Clinton bashers in and out of the media found something to attack Bill Clinton with and almost incidentally to attack Hillary Clinton with. They used it even though they had to twist the incident and the comment beyond recognition, but these apostles of the “New Politics” used it.
In this campaign for the first time ever we hear that Bill Clinton is a racist. If he is such a racist, why didn’t anyone notice it over the past 50 years? Why didn’t anyone notice it all the years he spent as Governor of Arkansas? Why didn’t anyone notice it during his two terms as President?
President Clinton is absolutely right. Candidate Obama and his surrogates are absolutely wrong – and they know it.

Maybe, just maybe, both Hillary AND Obama are good politicians who both bring something to the table. Just because they are running against each other doesn’t mean that one is evil and one is good. That’s a short-sighted, immature and unwise way of seeing things. The question isn’t who’s the worst, its who’s the best. I vote Obama because he fits the bill for America’s current state and for where we need to be in the future. Thats not to say that if Hillary wins Revelations will begin to play out either….

It seems that Hillary and Bill are still living in the 90′s. They’ve held that dream for over a decade to be back in the white house. But I’m sorry Clintons, this is 2008, time for a change and you all are not part of that change. Move over, already because your campaign tactics are wack and old. I was around when the Clintons became the first family, but that was then. Obama’s not winning because he is black, Obama’s is winning because he’s unique and different.

I am latina and i don’t know one that is voting for Obama… we don’t believe in talking we believe in doing. The last debate proved to me that Obama can’t handle tough questions and therefore cannot handle tough situations. He has played the race card from day one. Michelle Obama was requesting a passport to go to Puerto Rico, that proved to me that they know nothing about latinos. And after seeing videos of Obama flipping Hillary the finger, I have no respect for that man… he is very disrespecful.

I find it pure comedy that people continue to say that black ppl are voting for Obama simply b/c of his skin color. But for laughs, lets say this is true. If thats the case, since we’re making wide ranging assumptions, anybody white voting for McCain is simply casting their vote for him b/c he is white!!! How about that? Wait, no you say?! It’s more than that?! What a novel idea then, that maybe ppl are casting their ballot for Obama based on a little bit more than his skin tone. Wide ranging assumptions can go both ways. Remember that one…

The reason the republicans ie. Cindy McCain wants the nomination process to go on is because the longer it goes on the more people learn about Obama and the fact that he is unelectable. Do you really think you have heard all the dirt on Obama? You havn’t heard half of it. The republicans are trying to win this nomination for Obama because they know if he does get the nomination they can then bring out the real dirt on him and walk away with 4 more years. Open your eyes.

On another note, isn’t it funny how When Bill was in office everyone said Hilary was leading the country and now that Hilary is running everyone says it is for Bill?? Wake up America…what part of BEST ECONOMY IN 40 YEARS scares you so much???? It is time to get back on the right path…Go Hilary!

Again, flipping Hillary the finger and the media did nothing. Is this the man we want as leader of this nation?
He wants to “talk” to terrorist… What?
Once you start talking to terrorist you start opening a very bad door… terrorist groups or would be terrorist group will grow if countries start negotiating with them, and it will give them the reason to believe that terrorist activities will indeed help them suceed with their quest. Ex-president Carter is talking to the Hamas group and you know Obama is behing this… after all the Hamas group publically supports him. What kind of change is this man planning??

This is just attempting to stir the pot.
It’s a bit obvious that Bill wouldv’e thought the race card was played by the Obama camp so this is pretty much old news being thrown out there for no reason whatsoever. It would be nice if Bill would get over it but it’s pretty hard to do when people continue to ask or bait you on it.

I love to see both Demoncratic candidates bashing each others. It shows how lots of class in them. Las Vegas should put them on the ring.
In the end, McCain is truely a winner!

Well Bill what about Governor Rendell’s praises to Farrakhan (see the Huffington post of today)?by the way why is ABC’s not talking about that news?

I am so sick of this whole thing.
President Mcbush actually has a shot because of the Clintons. That must be the back room deal.

You really think Barack Obama is going to invest all that he has in this presidential race and blow it all by flipping Hillary the bird…..You all make me laugh….by the way, she did say “Screw them Bill”, referring to white southerners, so there.

Bill is absolutely correct. I have seen this from the very get go. Obama has played the race card from the very beginning realizing that it is a trigger topic that is ultra sensitive in america and will play well with those white voters who are looking to prove and wash away their white guilt. I am non-white and have been very disturbed that a man who claimed to be a unifying was the very master at injecting race and racism into the election in order to benefit from it. This is dirty politic at its worse and the Obama supporters have all been bambozzled into a blind devotion.

Bill Clinton is a disgrace to America.
He should never be allowed anywhere near our nations capital.

Bill Clinton has by far been the worst presidential candidate spouse ever. He just simply cannot shut his freakin’ mouth. Almost every time he’s opened his mouth during this campaign, something has come out of it that just messes up HRC. She really needs to muzzle the dude. His time has passsed, and he just can’t stand not being the center of attention. He, above all else, has really messed everything up for HRC. She would have had a clean path to the nomination if Bill could have just laid low and kept off the radar screen.

While there are certainly admirable qualities about Senator Clinton, I personally could never vote for someone who says “screw the white southerners”…there were witnesses to that, no question about it! And there has been no one (caught) who disgraced the Whitehouse the way Bill did. And thats a fact!

Obama and Obama ELITE democrats have been playing a race card. Bill stating a fact before the Primary in SC is over turns into a comment after the Primary is over. They turn his words into some codeword which is incorrect. I am still mad about that. Bill Cliton has done many good thing for all people, whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, and others. Please stop attacking Bill Clinton.

Hillary is way to divisive to ever be a good president. we need someone who will lead in a way that will bring us closer together as a nation.
i know Barack Obama, he knows my family, he is a good man who is risking his life at our (the country’s) behest to try to make a positive difference in this world.
he is racist? give me a break. he was raised by a single white mother. his wife is African American. do you honestly think he is racist? based on what? frustration in the African American community that Rev Wright expresses? Should I hate Barack Obama because I might disagree with some of his other supporters? How many votes would anybody get if they had to agree 100% on every issue. Barack’s very strength is that he can bring people together from different mindsets so we can face the challenges of our times. Let’s reach together for the dreams we all share
i dont know why i bother posting on these pages when it ends up being a name calling match. lets feed and educate our children. lets care for our elderly, secure our borders and our future. lets work with our neighbors and leave the world better than we found it. does any of this discussion lead us there? if not, it, like this article and the interview that initiated it, all a big waste of time and energy. back to the future, (stupid) …. hehehe. i’ll see you there

Well said, Bill Clinton! As a close observer of this campaign from the beginning, every opportunity the Obama campaign had to create a wedge, they did. They played the race card on Hillary’s remarks about MLK, they played the race card on “fairytale” remarks, they played the race card on “Jesse Jackson” remarks, they played the race card on Geraldine Ferraro’s historical assessment, and have acted wounded by any honest observation of the campaign. They have done it to ignite their AA base. On top of that, they have put extreme pressure on any blacks supporting Hillary. So, a big context of this campaign is about race, because they have made it so.
There is no better person than Bill Clinton to make this observation. We know how he and Hillary have led the way in creating opportunities for African Americans to make progress in education and opportunities in government. He is absolutely correct in his assessment. His ending expletive, given when he thought the audio was off, was mild. I would have said much worse. It is a #!%-*$! shame that some are so blinded by their pied piper that they cannot see reality.

Bill is incredible. The Clintons introduced race into the debate. They’ve nurtured the argument of race in the debate and since it’s blown up in their faces are blaming Obama. That’s just plain sad.

MAybe Bill should get toe=gether with Jimmy Carter and form some kind of club for former presidents. Nah!! Just keep on helping the little woman out there Bill and Obama will win the nomination and the Presidential election hands down. Kepp up the good work Bill!!!

‘merican – Obama “defended” Biden on debate because Obama had already destroyed Biden and Biden is no longer a threat to him in the primaries.
Furthermore, that 90% blacks voted for Clinton was a choice between Clinton and Bush, or Clinton and Dole. They, blacks, voted Jesse Jackson over Clinton – did you just happen to forget about it?
You think 90% of one race voted for his race is not racism?

Blacks voting for their black candidate Obama to the tune of 90% and Bill Clinton is racist?! Please.

Another of Obama tactics to portray himself as a ‘VICTIM..Poor me..I am so exotic and I am still call BLACK by a white man…Obama is really black..he has forgotten his white roots..he belongs to a black church, married a black women and when he is speaking on the stomp he sounds quite black..so Bill just pointed that out..and Obama used REVERSED DISCRIMINATION agist Whites because he was called what he really is..A BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT..I don’t know why he took offense to that..Do you?

Talk about the truth. There were only a handful of papers that wrote articles about this topic after it kind of faded away. But Bill is completely correct. Especially when he said “Obama’s voting record on the war in Iraq is a fairy tale,” which then turned into by Michelle Obama “My husbands campaign isn’t a fairy tale. Then that spinned into Obama campaign isn’t a fairy tale, because he is a black man. I mean come on. Obama has been playing the race card all along. I am a bi-racial male and there hasn’t been anything more obvious this election that Obama playing the race card. Bill Clinton is 100% correct!

One thing has definitely been proven in all this…discussing race definitely brings out the best in most people, the worst in others.

Bill messed up big time and knows it. Blacks including myself where behind the Clintons and remembering the Clinton years. Obama was an unknown and couldn’t get the black support he needed. Hillary made the MLK and LBJ comparison then Bill made the Jessie Jackson SC comparison. He knew that comparing Obama to Jessie Jackson was a put down because of the way Jackson thinks. Why would it make sense for Obama to remind white America that he is just another Black candidate when he knows that wouldn’t get him any votes or support. Obama is winning because of white support as well as Black support. No Black person in their right mind wants to remind people they are black to think that would give them an advantage in America. Bill knew what he was doing and it back fired big time. It may have costs Hillary the nomination. If she steals it, it will be a hollow victory because she can’t win without the black vote. If Hillary wins fair she has my vote. I am not so bitter that I would vote for McCain so he can finish bankrupting America.

it looks like Hillary took a leaf from her Bill’s good book.LIES.voters will decide.

ONly God will forgive we Blacks for what we are doing .This is sad and ncalled for. When you talk about Bill Clinton, you talk about Black Americans this man was known even as the first Black president even he is white but i say again history will not forgive us for this evil we are doing. Just because we want a black man in the White at all cost we continue attacking and saying all kinds of nonsense against this man. He did a lot for us and we blacks and history will definately point to that even Obama himself knows that.God will forgive Obama him(OBAMA). BLACK AMERICANS WE ARE NOT RIGHT AGAINST CLINTON. THAT IS A REAL FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from Ryan – I wish i could vote for Bill for a 3rd term..The economy was doing so much better quickly once he started office and stayed on the upbeat the whole time he was in office. Bill has said he would be a big help to Hill-Dog if she wins and i support the Clintons whole heartedly. If obama wins the nomination my vote will go to Mccain. Obama will ruin this country even more than Mccain will. END QUOTE
The economy is cyclical – the clintons were the beneficiary of an up cycle & nothing he did in office created the economy that we had when he & hill reigned. He did in fact create at least part of the circumstances for the Bush admin that resulted in job losses thru their jamming NAFTA thru. Study the financial history of this country before you make any more stupid statements about how wonderful the clintons supremacy was. They are both idiots – brilliant people don’t do/say the stupid crap that they have over all of their years in politics. I’m surprised they hhe lasted as long as they have

Bill Clinton has been good for all people and has been the best president of our time. I am not sure why people are so mad at him and his family. Bill had faught for blacks, whites, and all Americans. To turn on him is just outrageous. Facts are facts. Don’t turn them into codewords or misrepresent them.
If they nominate Obama, it might feel good and I hope it feel as bad as when McCain wins the general election. Obama will never win the general election. Heck, I won’t even vote for him.

Nobody that knows history thinks either Bill or Hillary are racists and Obama has never said or intimated that they are. All that happened is that Bill wanted to diminish the impact of Hillary’s South Carolina loss so he compared it to Jackson’s victory. That comparison was primarily based on race since there were no other real similarities and it was intended to stress the racial divide in the voting. This is called playing the race card. Let’s not try to rewrite history. I still don’t know whether it has worked to the Clinton’s advantage or disadvantage. I certainly hurt their support among African-Americans but it’s hard to tell whether the race element has helped with white voters in certain race-sensitive states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Dem process is toast. I think you’re confused two families haven’t ruled the country for 28 years, only 20.

Anyone with a Brain knows this to be true…Do your homework and dont listen to the bias media..They are the ones that have fueled this fire. But no matter now we all know Hillary will be the Comander and chief..Obamas true colors are revealing themselves more and more everyday and thank God for that…
It takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush….
Hillary08………….:)

This is beyond ridiculous. Bill needs a job. Obama will be the Democratic nominee. Get used to it.

I don’t know about anyone else but I was around during the Clinton years and my parents and myself had it good. Economy was booming people had jobs! We can have that again.. if we can look past all the hype… Obama can not carry the states we need to win the nomination.. that will be proven again tonight when Hillary wins Pennsylvania. I can only hope that the African-American community the ones that are not biased and voting primarily because of color and I know you are out there because I have read some comments that are in favor of Clintons because we all know that change is good but what type of change and at what costs.. inexperience is a great risk right now with the economy in ruins… foreclosures sky rocketing.. I was young during the Clinton era but I remember the good times.. as do many Hispanics and African-Americans alike… I can only hope we can overcome our differences and vote for the future of America!! Hillary 08

Bill is looking more and more like a puffy-faced old time southern politician, perhaps the mayor of a small city or a county judge in which he is the unquestioned “boss”. Confident, foolishly coifed, ‘ornery, and obnoxious, he swaggers, shakes his finger, and seems ready to order Obama thrown in the county jail to cool his heels! I can almost hear him- “Boy, you got to learn some respect for your betters!”
What embarrassing behavior for an ex-president. This is why we don’t need the presidency to be a hereditary title.

Obama is pathetic. He is the one who voted death penalty to apply to only minorities by Willie Horton. Double faced. And how about Wright adn Rezco and when he mocked the Pennsylvannians. Sahem on you Obama. Wake up superdelegates.

If Hillary wins big in PA, I am voting for her in NC and I am black!
Somehow, Obama is wounded with Jeremiah Wright badly and I don’t see the Jewish and Catholics going for him again after his comments!
I will decide based on today’s primary!
But one thing the media must end this racial divide now!
Democrats need a winner in November, who cares if Obama gets the nomination and looses to McCain in November!

I am a resident of PA the suburbs of PA, and I just cast my vote for Barack Obama this morning, but I thought my place of voting were pressuring people to vote for the local candidates that are supporters of clinton. I was also surprise to see that there were no Obama signs out front of the polling place, when most of my neighbors are obama supporters. I jsut pray that everything went fair and well for the voters no matter who they voted for.

Here the Clintons go again—WHINE WHINE WHINE!!! And they have the nerve to say Obama is a whiner –they are a couple of the biggest crybabies around and big hypocrites to boot !!!

The media is the one brought tyhe racial division!
Thank to the evil media, the democrats are divided a part and won’t make it in November!
I saw few black fellows posts here, they may vote for Hillary in NC if she wins big in PA, I hope they do and slam the media!
We all kniow Obama can not win after America saw his judgement , listening his pastor for 20 years~! Than he called whites , typical white person, than he called the middle class bitter!
It is impossible for Obama to beat a moderate republican John McCain!
All the independants will go to John McCain in November!
Go Hillary
And I have to admit Bill should shut up!

Does anyone really care what Bill Clinton thinks or says anymore?
He’s merely become a caricature of himself.

Another case of Bill Clinton losing his self control(again), discipline(again) and anger(again).
I wonder how many times have Bill shot off his mouth, frankly. And how come Bill hasn’t been assigned to the back of the bus? Don’t Hillary realise that the more Bill talks, the more he damages her own prospects?

Bill is no asset to Hillary’s campaign. He’s seems to be having a slow and very public meltdown. I don’t care if he swore but isn’t he aware this is a campaign? It’s all about attacking each other. What is his problem?

@ Sam, Pa
We know what you mean. We surely know that youn are not educated and has been brainwashed by the Clintons.
Rest assured, the Clintons will outsource your job. It won´t take long :-)

Bill is a real person, who is able to get irritated like anyone else. He has a long and impressive history of helping the underdog, so it is wrong to insinuate that he is racist, just to try to win the campaign.
Cheap tactics, BO, lead to cheap results!
Hillary Clinton for President!

For those who’d like to know more about what President Clinton’s time in office was like, read Howard Kurtz’s “Spin Cycle”

I hope Hillary will win big in PA,
PA please deliver for us!
My father is a hunter and hates Obama!
But before he used to hate Hillary!
Our state is backing Hillary since Obama showed his stupid face!
MT surprisingly will go for Hillary!

With Bill, someone else is ALWAYS responsible for his blunders. NO ONE ever contributed to his successes.
The man is mentally ill.

hey Ted, Obama supporters don’t have anything to worry about!
most of them are either poor under welfare who want to suck blood or so called educated voters who are either life time students or youth!
They have no clue about making a living!
Not only blue colar but also professional educated working class is for Hillary!

Good for President Clinton. He was asked the question and he answered it. And as a Democrat, I’m glad somebody FINALLY called the Obama campaign (and the media) on playing the race card against the Clintons.
I can understand why the people who caused the backlash don’t want to talk about it. But in the real world, even people who were not fond of the Clintons are thinking, “Good grief! If they can call BILL CLINTON a “racist”, NOBODY is safe from that kind of false judgement.”
Obama’s playing the race card was smart politics in the caucus states, but on-the-ground Democrats have been trying to tell them for months — it’s going to snap ‘em in the *** in the General Election.

Yes Bill is right. The race card was played and continues to be. Can ABC News publish the memos from the Obama campaign that Bill mentions?

Funny how Bill complains his comments were taken out of context yet the Clintons have no trouble taking the bitter remarks out of context.
The Clinton Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

“Obama avoids media in final days of PA”
+++++++++++
The question is WHY??++++++++++
I believe there are a lot of controversies that he doesn’t want to answer very much like pleading the “fifth amendment”. He refuses the answer the question the grounds that it will incriminate him. For one, the lie about the GUN CONTROL questionnaire where his handwriting appeared which he denied.+++++
Sen Obama is not concerned with change, he is concerned with just winning the presidency at all cost.

Bill Clinton is right. Obama has used claims of racism to campaign. Because of that I beleive that he is more dangerous to our country than McCain is. I will vote for Hillary. If Hillary is not the nominee, I pray that Hillary will run as a third party candidate because she is a better candidate than either McCain or Obama. I have voted Democratic my whole life and Obama is not a Democrat. He is part of a Chicago machine who has used his color to bamboozle. Shame on him.

I HATE THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS USING THE BLACK PEOPLE THIS WAY. I THOUGHT WE WERE WAY PAST THAT RACIAL THING. THE FACT THAT HE DOES USE THIS RACIAL-I’M-BEING-ATTACKED-FEEL-SORRY-FOR-ME CRAP TO CONTINUE TO DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY, MAKES ME SICK. WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE FOR BLACK PEOPLE? NOTHING! FOR YEARS AND YEARS WE HAVE ALWAYS HEARD ABOUT THE CLINTONS DOING SO MUCH FOR BLACK PEOPLE, AND JUST BECAUSE THIS JOKER, OBAMA, SHOWS UP AND IS ARROGANT ENOUGH TO CLAIM HE WANTS THE “CROWN”, HE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO TURN THE BLACK PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM STAB THE CLINTONS IN THE BACK! THIS MAN IS SICK! HE WILL SUCCEED ALRIGHT, AT STIRRING UP BURIED HATRED AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE.

Using the race card against Bill Clinton wasn’t the first time the Obama camp has used it, and it certainly won’t be the last. They will use any means necessary to divert attention from Rev. Wright, Bill “the bomber” Ayers, Meeks, Rezko, and every other racist, radical, or crooked gangster possible. They would do anything to shift the real blame, and manipulate PA voters. It won’t work.
It’s nothing to say what we can do, it’s infinitely more important to say what we WILL do. Hillary, YES WE WILL!!

I love both Bill & Hillary Clinton. I
am 62 and I have absolutely no doubt that Bill Clinton was the best U.S. President since I was born. I strongly feel that Hillary Clinton has the potential of even exceeding his greatness as President. When we get Hillary we’ll get Bill. That’s 2 for the price of one and the good they can and will do for this country during Hillary’s Presidency will be not only historical, it will be monumental. We need the greatness they have to offer. Our economy needs it and our young men and women dying in Iraq desperately need their greatness.

It really pains me to say this because I liked President Clinton, but I could never vote for Hillary Clinton the way they’ve behaved in this campaign. I’d feel like I would be validating every wink-and-nod racist campaign ever run if I voted for them. She’s a non-starter for me. If she somehow succeeds in destroying Obama between now and the convention, then move on to Gore. She is not an option.

Until Obama came along, Bill Clinton was known as the black man’s president. Somehow though Bill was turned into a racist. Who did that benefit? Just like Obama gave a speech on race because of Rev. Wright. While the speech was good, it really had nothing to do with why Obama listened to Wright and then lied about what he heard. Obama and Michelle play the race card when it works to their advantage. That’s politics and Obama is no different from any other politician.

Even if your blatant statement that “blacks are voting for Obama for his color more than anything else,” is is any different than the age 60+ white vote that any number of the news stations have reported that Hilalry consistantly gets?
Its no different.

Listen, it’s a fact that blacks are voting for Obama at a pace of about 90 percent in the primaries. The majority of SC Dems are black. The demographics suggest that a strong black candidate should do extremely well in SC. That’s a fact. As a political candidate you’ve got to love having a base that will give you 90 percent of the vote every time out!

The saddest part of this Democratic primary will come after The Republicans destroy Obama in the general, if he gets it. Yes, he’s inspirational, and all the kids are swooning… But he was in office for 1 year, prior to running for President. After 8 years of the worst President in US history, do you really want to put your faith in a rookie? Anyone who thinks he will “change” Washington, has their head in the clouds. Continue swooning & “hoping”, but be prepared for a big let-down. And more of the same. There will be no denying it, unfortunately. PS ~ “change” will happen no matter who becomes President.

I hate this primary. Pennsylvania could make it stop if the voters would just vote for the best candidate we’ve had in a generation — Barack Obama. I know the press would love this to continue and the Pubs but most of us Dems just want it to be over.

Obama will divide this country far worse than any right wing Republican ever could. A vote for Obama means a vote for a step backwards!

Rick – “Blacks are voting for Obama more for his color than anything else..”
And you know this because…?
It seems to me that African Americans see Senator Obama as a legitimate, intelligent candidate. There have been other Black candidates in the past, and they have not received the same support as Senator Obama. I’m not African American but I think that Senator Obama has run a very credible campaign. Your own bias is showing.

The Obama camp played the race card when right after New Hampshire they twisted Hillary’s words about LBJ and MLK, which was made in reference to rhetoric versus actual legislation. This tact will not work for Obama in the general election and based on how the electoral map looks right now, he and his supporters had better not beat a dead horse with this latest attack on the Clintons. Bill and Hillary and not racists. I’m not so sure about Barrack and Michelle.

Bottom line. The Clintons are low-class, lying, cheating, self-serving, manipulative opportunists.
They LOVED black people when they got their vote. Now they’ve turned against them to court the uneducated, bigoted, working class white vote.
They LOVED “moveon” when the group defended Bill Clinton. Hillary CHASED AFTER their endorsement, but when she lost it, she turned against them, too.
Of course, they HATED the Pittsburgh-Trbune Review, whose owner/publisher Richard Mellon, led the RNC charges against Bill Clinton while he was president, but now they LOVE Mellon, because they cut a deal with him to get his endorsement.
Disloyal. Dishonest. Disgusting!

Dave
Wrong Answer!
People like yourself will divide our country.
OUR current has divided our country like NO OTHER.
What’s SCARY is that his mantra his theme his plea when he was running for president was
IM A UNITR NOT A DIVIDR … rememeber that….

President Clinton is right. This entire race thing was started in the media and played up by the Obama campaign.
Honestly, the candidate who fit inn with the needs of the black community was John Edwards. He has been in New Orleans the entire time building homes. He has been fighting for housing in New Orleans. In 2004, John Edwards swept South Carolina.
He is now out of the race. He has become a better person than he was in 2004 yet he came in 3rd in South Carolina. He lost to Obama.
Obama won the black vote by 97%. Anyone that tells you that was not because he is a black man is just plain stupid and does not deserve to be commenting on this political race.
Hillary is winning the women’s vote because she is a woman. It is no big deal. But we are so politically correct in this country that we fear to state the obvious.
Who cares. But let’s call it what it is.
President Clinton was right. Look at the facts. Read the comments in full.
Time for Americans to stop forming opinions based on headlines and soundbites. Get the facts.
If Americans were interested in the facts, Obama would have been out of this race months ago.

Wasn’t Bill impeached? Wasn’t he declared the first black President? Didn’t Hillary say “No whiners in the White House”? Wait until the Republicans get a hold of you Clintons when Hillary wins the democratic nomination. Does America know about Bill Clinton having the retired Air Force I or II remodeled to look like a McDonalds for his daughter to travel in. All at the tax payers expense. Don’t think for a minute I am making this up, I saw it at the Raytheon plant in Texas. I stumbled on it while having a meeting there. I was whisk away by security to told not to talk about it. But not before I got to talk to some of the people working on it.

Dave’s comment: “Obama will divide this country far worse than any right wing Republican ever could. A vote for Obama means a vote for a step backwards!”
I have news for you, Dave. This country was already divided. It has always been “the white world and the black world”. Obama has been working very hard to unify the people of this great America. Granted, blacks and whites are different in philosophical ideas, so there will always be differences between us. We most begin to respect the differences and move on to the more important issues. Right now, we are all suffering from a poor economy; a needless war; and barely sign of a prosperous future for our children. It appears that some folks want to keep America divided. Don’t be foolish – strength is in numbers, in individual colors. For instance, if you mix the colors yellow and green, you get a unique color. If you keep them seperate, they are JUST yellow and green. Why do you think the Crayola company is so successful? They dared to mix colors to come up with more vibrant colors! Think about it….

I used to have a lot of respect for Bill–but it seems like every time he’s in front of a mic or camera he’s got this ultra-cockiness that appears.
The Obama campaign may have commented, but I never heard any negative comments they made in response. I heard about the story through news websites like ABC news, and Bill’s statement alone was enough to upset me. Obama didn’t have to say anything about it.
All Bill has to say is that he didn’t realize people were going to feel insulted by those comments and that he was in no way comparing Obama to Jesse Jackson…He could then go on to say that Jackson really did win SC. However, Bill just gets cranky everytime it’s brought up. He keeps damaging his wife’s campaign–every time he opens his mouth!! A lot of black people (I’m black) were originally going to vote for Hillary, but Bill keeps making these stupid comments. Shut up!

“No, no, no, that’s not what I said,” Clinton told a reporter who asked about the radio comments”
___________________
Oh good grief, so Bill now has Alzheimer’s too, or is he just assuming that everyone else does and will listen to the audio and immediately forget that yes yes yes, that’s what he said.
Get that boy off the streets, Hillary, before he says something that lands you in jail.

Excellent post, Nickberry!
As usual, racism takes center stage, but misogyny is on the back-burner. The irony is that Bill isn’t a racist, but many of Obama’s cohorts are. As for sexism, it’s been running rampant, and largely unchecked, during this presidential primary.
I have every confidence that PA voters know what’s really going on.
HILLARY, YES WE WILL!!

Obama started the race card when hillary said he is just words. With many quotes from the bible, constition, bill of rights, ect… he chose to invoke MLK suggesting bill said MLK was just words (race card…Like it has been stated by many blacks, they detect race issues where non-blacks do not. Bill never said ” a black man bening president is a fairy tail” He said obama has not been fighting the war from the begining. obama never offered to clear this up, he played the race card. Why does he sound more “street” when he speaks to black groups?

Yes… the Obama campaign jumped on Bill Clinton… Their surrogates were ubiquitous on the news after the South Carolina election. They inundated the media with memos and conference calls. The Obama campaign played the “race” card against both Bill and Hillary Clinton when they both said NOTHING at all racist, but rather stated facts that would have remained innocuous without the Obama “spin.”

Poor Mike … once again at Apr 22, 2008 1:06:36 PM he has experienced a petulant fit of confederate rage. In an attempt to defend his racist remarks recorded earlier at Apr 22, 2008 9:34:46 AM, he continues to disparage the distinguished Illinois Senator named Barack Hussein Obama. Once again you have substanitated the views of the Rev. J. Wright. God bless America! God help ‘Racist’ Mike and his fellow modern day Confederates.

BILL CLINTON NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP;
ALWAYS HAS.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Who cares about Bill & Hillary Clinton anymore? You gotta understand that Bill is trying to keep the Clinton name in the news in relation to Obama. That’s all.
They’re both fading in the sunset. In November, nobody will ever remember them while Hillary will be fighting to keep her Senate seat in NY.
They’re old news folks. You know it.

tiger
Hillary will be McCains VP… They’re on the same team….

Who the heck does David Axelrod think he is driving these anti-Bill Clinton stories into the media? He advises Obama to preach a message of unity while he is ripping the democratic party apart behind the scenes. Axelrod is a complete thug and anyone affiliated with him should be ashamed.

It’ll all be over tonight folks.
Lying and manipulation can only take you so far. Even the most uneducated lemming will eventually have the lightbulb click on in the dome.
No worries. Cynicism is usually at its worst when on the verge of annihilation.

I’ve always believed that Bill and Hillary are running as co-presidents. After reading some of the comments here I find it amusing that many of Hillary’s supporters are those who support her as a surrogate for Bill since he cannot run again. Heck, I voted for Bill twice and would never vote him again or his wife. He disgraced the office of the presidency and disgraced his wife. And their behavior (both of them) since the beginning of this campaign has been a disgrace filled with blatant political manueverings, theatrics, and mis-truths. The Clintons begat GWB and nominating Hillary will only re-invigorate Republicans. Wake up folks! Bill left in disgrace in 2000 for a reason…As for the economy being better under Clinton there are many reasons for that. I will give Clinton credit that he didn’t screw things up like GWB.

President Clinton said he knew Obama was going to use the race card all along because of “memos from the campaign”. Does anyone besides me see anything wrong here? HOw did Clinton camp get Obama camp memos? Do you remember the words “Water Gate”? Someone should ask him, but, I sure he will not remember saying this either.

When Rev. Wrights rages about marginalisation and uses the analogy of ripping what you sow, Americans yelled! yelled! all over and see what comes out from a former Presidents mouth. He implies that no matter how finelly ran campaign Obama can come up with, his is black and remain black and that is enough for him not to be electable. Is this what white Americans stand for? If it is , blame wright not more you can blame the Clintons! The world is watching where PA votes will go and we all know why Clintons will win there.

Go to DRUDGE the full radio interview is there right up to “Thank you Mr President.” Previous to the closing you can listen to an uninterrupted fumbling diatribe by the Slickster. True case of constipation of the brain with a diarrhea mouth. The books these to power mongers will write after their combined loss, (H/B), will be comedy for the ages.

Omentum says:
“You are out of your mind!!!
It’s will be a great relief that we will not be having this conversation anymore after June.”
And you’re a misogynist, Omentum.
How do you like it when someone arbitrarily labels you? Casting inane aspersions is what the Obama camp does to everyone who doesn’t support their candidate. They say, Hillary supporters are all stupid, out of their minds, racists, and undereducated. If you haven’t got anything more than a pithy little insult to level at someone whom you do not know, then just shut up. Do us all that favor, and then we won’t have this conversation again, ever.

Another thing about South Carolina. If it was a given that the Black Man was going to win it. Why did it take so long for them to move the confederate flag from the top of the capitol building.

First of all, polls said this, not the Obama camp. Those words never came out of Obama’s camp at all, stop making up asinine statements.

It is sad to see that the comprehension skill of our 18 to 30 year olds (Obama supporters) is so poor. The media can only fool those people with little education and poor comprehension skill. Only Obama played the race card.
The coment by Bill is an historical fact and nothing more. I saw Jesse Jackson was asked within hours of the comment and he said “No” not racist but then Obama began his spin and the media got right on board. Ask yourself why???????because they are voting McCain. Wake up Obama fools because your next President is either Hillary Clinton or John McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Political campaigns are the ultimate “reality tv” show, and Bill is that guy who finds out that he isnt so well liked and says it was because he wasn’t portrayed accurately. The same response applies – editing might be a factor, but nobody made you say or do any of those things. It was all YOU.

Blacks only make up 29% of South Carolina where’d the rest of Obama’s votes come from???

Obama Zombies,
I just want to make it clear that the issue with Obama or Clinton has nothing to do with race. The issue is that Obama is an arrogant elitist, finger flipping coat-brushing elitist. And a wimp. Pure and simple.
========================================
Obama and BitterGate, we shall not forget!
========================================

Actually I’d say anyone voting for a Republican is and idiot. Unless you like the current state that our country is in. If you think there is nothing wrong with our country as it stands then hey by all means vote for McCain.

I believe it. I totally believe that Obama’s campaign had it planned to catch either Bill or Hillary in anything resembling a racist remark, precisely so that they could play the race card.
And they did! They sure as heck did. They leaped on the first pathetic thing Hillary said, and then they went after Bill with equal venom.
Sad. Deeply disturbing.
That anyone would call either of the Clintons racist is pathetic and desperate. It’s a travesty, especially when you look at their life-long record of work for the African American community. It’s also sad that community has turned their back on them. I understand that they would want to vote for Obama, but to paint the Clintons as racist is profoundly wrong.

Look. The media goes out of its way to FORCE these idiot questions on Clinton. Its not like he summons a press conference to spew it all out.
Here is the forumla:
Want a story? Want to paint Bill as a racist? Want to wreck Hillarys campaign?
Simple.
1)Just go hunt Bill down and force a question down his throat. Back him into a corner to get him to defend himself or his wife
2) Take whatever he says and make it a huge headline .
Of course, my theory would point to the media being COMEPLETELY CORRUPT AND BIASED for Obama , egro acting like HENCHMEN to rip Clinton a new one every chance they get.
That couldnt be happening, now could it?

I don’t think anyone is calling Bill a racist. Anyone that has a brain knows that he’s not. The fact is that he made it out to be that he was supposed to get SC because Jesse Jackson got it. Any with a brain knows that Bill Clinton was a great president..at least I do. I’ve never had anything bad to say about Hillary. However as I’ve watched her campaing over the last year and a half, I’ve really begun to dislike her. With that being said, I’d still vote for her over McCain in the General election.

in2itively…I saw Jessie Jackson and another guy…(he wrote a controversial book, wore glasses, black guy…)I can’t remember his name both Obama supporters were interviewed by MSNBC claiming racism in the results of New Hampshire PRIOR to anything Bill or Hillary had said. They started it then and a week later they pounced on Hillary being racist about Martian Luther King taking her remarks out of context and then saying Bills “Fairy Tale” remark was racist. Again, that was taken out of context. And that started a witch hunt for anything racist.

Bill is not a racist. The real racism is coming from the Obama side.

“hahaha – how many comments have the Clintons taken out of context and gotten mileage off of? These are the politics the American people are tired of.”
Why is it that lately all I hear from the Obama Campaing (and now you too) Is something akin to “So! They did it too!” Since when does two wrongs make a right. And I though Obama was supposed to be of a new kind of politics. Guess he’s all talk after all.

If anybody believes that if a large group of voters vote 90% for one candidate and there is no underlying cause other than candidate’s ability is stupid.

Where do you people come up with this stuff?
Rick—have you been to Obama’s church? How do you know that every sermon is white bashing? Have you listened to every sermon? Hearing a 30 second sound byte does not equate to being an expert or “knowing” anything other than 30 seconds on a sermon was extremely offensive.
Jodi–why is it that anyone that doesn’t support Hillary is somehow delusion or misguided or all of Obama’s support is merely youthful idealism. Isn’t the whole point to get young people engaged? Hasn’t that been the complaint that numerous politicians on both sides of the isle have been making ? And now that young people are involved in record numbers, Hillary supporters are making condescending comments that they’re misguided and being fooled.
And to the larger point–Obama did not introduce race into this campaign. He has responded when attacked but he hasn’t been calling Hillary or Bill a racist. Supporters of his may have, and those that comment on message boards like these may have but HE has not. The fact that he has received upwards to 90% of the black vote does not equate to playing the race card. There is a HUGE difference between voters voting for someone because of their race or their gender and playing the race/gender card.

TAKE THE FORMER PRESIDENT AT HIS WORD!
WE KNOW HE’S AN HONORABLE MAN WHO WOULD NEVER LIE TO US.

Operation Chaos is in full swing. You gotta luv them democrats eating their own. I voted for Hillary in North texas a month ago and those silly democrats actually believe in November they will carry North Texas! Ha! And the willing drive by media are so gullible to think Republicans will vote for either of these two clowns. Ha! again

Two years into his first term in the U.S. Senate, a highly respected and powerful position, the man decides, “Eh… this Senate gig isn’t doing it for me. It want to be the leader of the free world!” So he embarked on this quest, having abandoned what was his big chance to show us what he’s made of. Now he asks us to have hope and believe in ourselves, except when it comes to believing someone who has already proven himself by his actions in office, who is now, despite all appearances to the contrary, a racist. I am skeptical, and lean toward supporting someone with more experience and detailed plans for getting things done. This makes me a racist too. Thanks for breaking it down.

It is former President Bill Clinton who has embarrassed himself on the campaign trail. His constant whining, complaining and cheering on his “girl” has taken every bit of “presidential” out of him. He sounds like a carnival “barker” of late!
It will be interesting to see if he still commands those $400,000 speaking fees after doing so many of these roadshows for free!
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

Hmmm. Couldn’t the same be said about Clinton? An awful lot of white people are voting for her just because she is white, right?

Bill is absolutly correct. Blacks are voting for Obama more for his color than anything else..
—————————————-
How insulting. So why is it that most of the educated folks in america are also backing Obama? I guess they all got an attack of “Black Love”.
When this all started neither my wife, my mother or me (all black when I last checked) even wanted Obama in this race. I was firmly behind Hillary. Then she and her husband proceeded to change all of that. Black folks feel betrayed and hurt by the fact that some that we so revered (Bill Clinton) could behave this way. It all has to do with a sense of loyalty and decency. The two-headed monster that Bill and Hilary have become, represents the worst of what we’ve come to expect of the GOP.
All that aside, after carefully listening to all of the canadates, It would be America’s loss if Obama does not get elected President. Maybe Americe really does not deserve him.
Vote McCain while the world applauds the fall of the arrogant, pompus, American empire.

As an independent who cannot stand republican lying and scheming for big business, I will tell you I will never vote for Hillary. To me she lies even more than the republicans and America cannot survive that anymore. Obama at least gives us hope!!!!!

I’m a conservative, and no admirer of the Clintons, but it’s quite obvious that there is a double standard that exists for the Obamas and the Clintons. The Clintons are criticized in the press much worse than the Obamas.
Bill, how does it feel to be treated like a conservative???

“I hope the press keeps on interviewing Bill because everytime he opens his mouth, Obama get another vote.”
EXACTLY RIGHT!
The Clinton’s are a pitiful pair of deceitful, power-hungry Washingtonians.
SO sick of both of their nonsense.
Let’s hope pennsylvania puts an end to
this!

As an independent who can’t stand democrat lying and scheming for special interests and being controlled by left wing radical America hating Kos/Soros/Commies/Ayers/Wright crowd, I will NEVER vote for Obama. Ferraro was right – the percentages prove it. If BHO were white with the same resume, and David Duke was his spiritual mentor, he would never be in the position he’s in now.

“what kind of american people vote for a person that does not wear a flag on their chest?”
WHAT KIND OF RIDICULIOUS NONSENSE IS THIS, AND WHERE’S HILLARY’S FLAG PIN?
This argument is beyond stupid!@
Hillary Clinton is finished, with out without Pennslyvania- It’s only a matter of time before the BEST candidate wins the nomination.
GO Obama, 2008

What?! B clinton complaining about his statements being twisted for political puposes—-BILL, talk to Harry the True Man, if the kitchens too hot, get out!!

None of the three major candidates is good enough to be our next CIC. We are now completing 16 years with two CIC’s who were and are yellow belly chicken draft dodgers. No wonder we have over 4,000 killed in Iraq. We have little or No choice at this time in the current election scenario. God better help the USA because the voters of this country have no hope.

Please, The words Okie-Doke, Bamboozled and Hoodwinked are not exclusively linked to Malcolm and Farrakhan. Additionally the words were not used in S.C. but at a college campus in MS. How silly.

I see are famous media is picking the rest of this weeks story line . No issues just bs

Barack’s Ego will Explode if he loses to a woman!
We don’t even know if we an trust him and now his own campaign’s memos are proving that he played the race card with the best of them. I wonder what Barack’s definiton of affirmative action is?
We’re not as stupid OR racist as Barack’s foaming-at-the-mouth supporters need us to be!

Ubuibi, I am not asking you to vote for Obama. I like Sen. Clinton better, and either is better than McCain, IMO. You’re entitled to your feelings and opinions. That’s why we each get one vote and pretend that it actually counts.
But I know what OUR FLAG means, mmmmm-kay? I have a little lapel pin made in China, and I have two American Flags. They’re NOT the same thing!!! What have you been smoking, anyway, and do you share?

A man steps up and says he is truly for change and is not the typical candidate. What kind of American then demands that he conform to the norm and wears ‘flair’ on his lapel in order to get votes. Don’t you get it? He IS different. But if you’d rather keep the status quo and vote for or against someone because of their jewelery choice or other nonsense, just wait till November. I’d almost be willing to bet McCain will be pictured kissing a baby.

Thank you Johnathan!!!!! That’s what I’m trying to get people to understand. I’m glad you found that, I was looking but couldn’t find it. And Smarter than a Cat…ITS REAL GOOD STUFF and your too far away to share. LOL.

KnSD, Why would any American want to remove The Patriot Act? Oh, lemme guess, you’re a civil rights, tree hugger. It’s people like who who ruin our country, go move to Canada.

i almost hope hillary gets the nomination. no way in heck does america want this lowlife back in the white house.

Steve—I am not an Obama fan, Nor Hillary, Nor McCain. Let me try to help you however. How come 95 PLUS percent of Women 60 years old and older are voting for Hillary?
Do you think it is merely because of racism and ageism?

KnSD—In theory your correct and you did an excellent job explaining yourself. However, practicality will step in and you will have far more individual restrictions in this country if we have anything close to 9/11 occur again.
You will NOT SAVE PARADISE by CLOSING YOUR EYES TO REALITY! Many people during WW2 could not believe the horrors the Nazi’s were committing and those Horrors continued for far too long because of that. Millions were killed (including lots of our soldiers) and some of those millions could have been saved if we had been more vigilant and less obsessed with cliches and meaningless BS!
I say to you again, lives are more important then the Supreme Court. Theory and reality are NOT the same. Get with it. Read some history books.

Hillie and Willie Stark: The press that you used so well back in the day have wised up. The pubs out-smarted your polling, manipulating, etc. in the last 2 elections. Now, the press is onto your tricks. Tsk tsk. What a shame, eh?
You were brilliant back then with your tactics. Trouble is, the rest of the US has moved on, and your campaign is stuck in the ’90s.
How does a former First Lady candidate who has her ex=President husband and ex=First Daughter out campaigning on her behalf not win in a landslide?
And I agree with the poster who talked about Slick Willie’s comments overshadowing Hillary’s nuking Iran bombshell. Good catch!

Yes that’s what Obama does best. Use that race card on others to his advantage, that’s perfectly allright. Hoewever don’t even mention the race issue against Obama because then you are a racist. Yes, he used that race card against Bill and Geraldine Ferraro. And when the tough questions come around he goes and hides in NC and decides he doesn’t want to debate anymore……. We don’t need a wimp in the white House!

Still to this day, I have no idea how/why that was taken as a racist comment. Is it because you can’t talk about 2 black people in one sentence, otherwise that is marginalizing? Bill Clinton is friends with Jesse Jackson, why would anyone take that comparison as a negative?
And Donna Brazile and others like her, are ridiculous, to suggest that Bill Clinton’s fairytale comment was racial. Bill was talking about Obama’s Iraq vote as a fairytale- not anything else.

Clinton: “It depends on what your definition of race card is….”

Some of you can’t seem to believe there are real Democrats out here that can’t stand the Clintons. Well we’re here, and in greater numbers than you think.

Obama and his supporters absolutely twisted Clinton’s remarks in Carolina. It started out as a compliment to Obama — had NOTHING to do with being anti-black or anti-not-white. Obama has always been quick to play the race card (or have someone play it for him, usually) and then sit back and say, “who me?”
Yes you, you big phony.

If I agreed with Obama on the issues, his plans for the country and who influences his opinions, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. He is a masterful speaker and has a little bit of JFK-Lite in him. Unfortunately, I don’t, so I can’t.

Bill is proving to be a terrible first lady. He should learn how to bake cookies.

Bill is right to be frustrated! The press and the Obama campaign keeps twisting his words and claiming that he is injecting race into the campaign when they are the ones doing it.. Obama has been race baiting for months to get an advantage in the states that are heavily African American and then pointing the finger at the Clinton campaign. I find his tactics disgusting and the is why if he is the nominee i will not vote or vote for McCain!

What would be wonderful is to have Bill Clinton on CNN tonight for the Pennsylvania election returns and have them play the WHYY Radio interview for Wolf, Donna, etc., and then dissect it. They reported the story in their little soundbites and cutsies tonight, and there is no way their little spin matches the content of the interview. I would love to hear him discuss it with them. But, then, it would be a delicate and embarrassing situation for these fine upstanding “journalists”. They would not be able to get away with their kind of news presentation. America and the free press are really in trouble.

Hillary makes me sick to my stomach.
If she wins, just about everybody I know is sitting out of this pathetic mess.
I’m so sick of these old guard politicians holding court in Washington DC for decade after decade after decade. What is this, monarchy now? King Bill and Queen Hillary. Prince Bush II. It’s just a big cesspool of cronyism, nepotism and corruption.

Even though Obama has shown that the criticism he has become to expect as I, was replayed over and over to do one thing ( simply ) to divide us as people of a United county .
Obama Problem was in P.A. He did not act surprize to the cards in which he was deal ( GOOD JOB to our MEDIA )
Let put Good All Amerian John IN lets all go down together.I do mean GOD BLESS America Please

Former two term POTUS Bill Clinton is a brilliant man. Every single word coming out of his mouth is intentional and deliberate. He has an agenda. Do not be a fool.

Trax,
I will assume that you are talking to me since I seem to be the only one with K in their name….
I did not mention anything about Obama lying that I can see. Though, at this point, I didn’t find my original post to read it over again. But I don’t remember calling Obama a liar.
What I have said is that Obama is a product in this campaign. He is good packaging. I don;t hear the specifics from him in his speeches. I don’t see any evidence of a plan or the track record of doing what he says he will do if he is elected. Even in his acceptance speech tonight I heard far too many stretches of the truth for my taste.
He is not my first choice for president, but he will certainly have my vote if he is the nominee. For a multitude of reasons.
The reason I support Hillary is because I have no illusons as to what I am getting. I know who she is, who her husband is and I am okay with that. Of the choices I have this election, that is who I choose. That’s not difficult for me at all.
And bringing up Bill’s issues (such as the “what “is” is comment) is not going to sway me from supporting Hillary.
I do have the ability to look at everything and make my decision accordingly. To quote a phrase “sometimes, the devil you know….”
And to Independent – We have been phenomanally blessed in this country that we haven’t had realy anything on our home soil but 9/11 since the civil war (and the World Trade Center in 93). Not many countries on the planet can make a claim like that. I have read and I am relatively well educated and I still say tht for this moment in time, the Supreme Court is the priority.
It always struck my as hypocritical and ironic for Bush to stand up and say “they hate us for our freedoms” and then push the Patriot Act and attack those freedoms.
In theory vs. practicality? Are you kidding? If you want to show people how strong Amrica is and how great it is then stand up and defend our Constitution, and by doing so the country, by showing the strength of our convictions in that this is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Live up to the ideals we espouse and tell the world they should aspire to.

Obama has lost the general election. He just hasn’t realized it yet. If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, she will run as an Independent pulling votes from Obama. It has been so much fun watching the Democrats self-destruct! Democrats are such losers.

Bubba, the first “Black President” said: ” that he has “an office in Harlem.” What a weak defense for his accusation about Jesse Jackson. Why he has one there — cheaper than elsewhere?

The Democratic party is the party of failure. It doen’t matter which one of these idiots get the nomination, they are both equally qualified to lead it. If they both stepped aside, there are plenty more who could step in and do just as good a job (Gore, Kerry, Etc). As this thing wears on, perhaps some of you will come out of the anesthesia that has numbed you for so long.

Florida. Isn’t that the state that the candidates agreed they would not campaign? The state that Hillary campainged? The state that isn’t having votes counted?
Michigan. Isn’t that a state where the votes weren’t counted and Obama didn’t have his name included on the ballot because they weren’t going to be counted?
It’s fine and dandy for people to say Hillary won both of those states, but it’s quite a stretch for anyone to believe those were true elections.

I am very weary of the Clintons saying something, correcting it, and then exploding in anger when the press calls them on their lie. It is getting old.

Hmmm…when either one of these morally bankrupt, self-aggrandizing Clintons get caught in their own web of lies and deceit, it is a conspiracy against them. How many times can the voters hear them blame the press or Republicans for trying to “get” them before they realise there might be a problem with the Clintons?

Bill Clinton reminds me of that line from It’s a Wonderful Life: “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.” In this case, “Every time Bill Clinton speaks, Obama gets more votes.” I swear he is deliberately trying to undermine Hillary’s campaign sometimes.

I am a registered Republican and have been for the past thirty years. However, I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. I still think that, on balance, he did a good job as President. That being said, I think that his wife is unfit for the Presidency.
Now as to his comments on the South Carolina primary: I doubt very much that Bill Clinton’s comments were racially motivated. They were clumsy and subject to misinterpretation. But to accuse Bill Clinton of racism is really a stretch.

Let us all stop and look inwards to place a president for the people, and not a people for the president

It’s our fault really. We let the MSM ignore all the lies and corruption from the Clintons for years. Only now are they being held accountable.
I think this is why Republicans are more trustful – they are held to a higher standard and aren’t used to being able to skate free.

“inexplicably putting the fact that he has “an office in Harlem” at the top of the list”
inexplicably ?
MORE ABC BIASED REPORTING
the man lead a huge harlem real estate/rental revival by his decision to move his offices to Harlem (after the boys on the payroll of the millionaires (right wingers) of America “complained” his first digs were too pricey
i think helping a black community revival by placing the OFFICE OF A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES THERE is SIGNIFICANT – and obvious not inexplicible.
very truthful comment he made

I get really upset when I hear people saying that Blacks are only voting for Obama because he is Black. That really scares me because it’s saying Whites aren’t voting for him because he is Black.
It’s not about Black or White people, it’s about putting a worthy candidate in office.
Obama isn’t the first Black_American to run for President. So it can’t be stated that Blacks are voting because of his race. Obama is sharp and very smart so why not vote for him White or Black?
He is a man that’s running for the Presidency, can we leave race out of it and who’s voting for him and why. Please, I am so tired of race being brought up all the time.

This entire election season is just sick. The Clintons can lie , and be seen lying on camera and many of you dimwits would still vote for her. Obama has a nice message, but he would never be the great unifier we need. He voted against John Roberts for the supreme court, while the vote was 78-22 for his nomination. Roberts is probably the most qualified jurist since John Jay. If that vote wasn’t pure partisan politics, please share with me. John McCain is old and sometimes angry, but his integrity is fairly intact. He would not be my first choice, and if he makes a good slip, Nader will get my vote. But he has proven that he will reach across the aisle, and that’s what this country needs right now! Enough of the Clintons, and Obama has too much gray area to get my vote!

Rick Klein, please play the part of the tape when you asked Bill Clinton a question on the campaign trail following his interview on WHYY Radio. After listening to that interview, I am puzzled and really would like to know what your question was. Your report appears to leave something out of context. Could we hear your question before he gave you answers seen on your tape?
Thanks!

Bill and Hillary for sure can’t be trusted. I am white and can see, what he was doing. That’s why Lewis decided to back Obama, he saw the writing on the wall. And for me, Mr Obama gets my vote. Several of us, in Lancaster was talking about how they use people, especially Blacks, We are trying to turn this race around for Obama, she needs to get out of the race! She will suprise of the outcome…heading directly to Obama. It’s a waiting game now, I will pray for Mr Obama. with hopes that people, My People will vote with a clear heart, and not look at color.
In my response to this person has really touched my heart. That is the way America s suppose to vote. God does not like people putting people down and he will take care of his children. My people are the same my neice was going to vote for Hillary but she changed her mind, because of the reson of you. Hillary campaign is trying to scare our fellow americans. Obama is not a bad person. My grandson is ten and he understand obama speeches. He like obama and If a child of such a young age can be inspired by him. Why can’t the fellow americans who are voting age. GOD BLESS OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGH

I love when they say stuff and blame Obama for THEM having said It! Remember the bizarre Ferraro statements? Gimme a break!

Race is an issue in some ways. There are a lot of hate groups out there that would not want to see a black President.
What if one of them managed assasinate Obama. Remember how bad it was with the Rodney King verdict. I once heard a speach where the speaker said if MLK were assasinated today the country would likely be in a civil war. I have no problem with Obama being President, I just hope nothing ever happens to him.

Where is the memo that Bill clinton refers to?? The Obama campaign’s attack on Bill Clinton was a bit too hasty to appear spontaneous. I am skeptical because Axelrod is very experienced at promoting African-American candidates (governor of Massachuetts, for example), and he is well aware of the power of “playing” the race card. It would be logical to anticipate that Axelrod would desire to silence Bill Clinton early in the campaign. Why did the Obama campaign chose to make such a big deal about this when it was obvious that the black voters in South Carolina were going to vote for Obama for historical reasons? I regret that Bill Clinton timed his response when he did, but I believe that his reaction was understandable, given his lifelong commitment to furthering civil rights. Speaking as a person who has had the race card played against me, I do empathize with Bill Clinton’s sense of betrayal. If Axelrod is, indeed, threatening the superdelegates as Steve suggests, he is continuing to play the race card, and the Democratic party as well as the country will pay the price for years to come. I do not want top see anyone elected to the most important office in this country because of affirmative action, whether it be a person of color or gender.

Barack Obamo is not races so you need to stop publicizing things tah isn’t true about this politician. The person you need to be talking about is John Mcain,he one the other hand is more racist than Barack.

What a liar! Barak Obama played the race card and HE KNOWS IT! Hey BVosler-Cruz, someone getting hot under the collar is called a Patriot. With a name like yours, you probably aren’t a citizen of this great country anyway. We all know Barak Obama isn’t a natural born citizen.
