Title: Is Obama Giving Up
Post by: Gaspar on December 10, 2010, 04:22:57 PM
Holy Cr@p!
President Obama just got out of a long meeting with former President Clinton after which he let . . .well take a look.

Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.

However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side. Obama promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."

To the absolute glee of the press and the former President, Clinton continued to stand at the podium and answer questions in place of the sitting president.  The press regarded him as "Having taken control of the situation."

Sheesh! With this move he looks weaker than Harry Reid. This President seems totally clueless when it comes to the appearance of leadership.

Carter's gotta love Obama because now Carter can say he was the second worst Democrat president of the last half century.

I think he's meeting with Carter for advice on Monday.

So glad the grown ups are in charge!! Here is some analysis from Mediaite (in my opinion one of the fairer media-based cites):

I bet that was one heck of a Christmas party.

I look at President Clinton and wish he was back.   I'm on of those Republicans that railed against him when he was in office but he looks pretty good to me now.
