Bill Clinton: Unlike When I Was President, The World Is Coming Apart Right Now
These sorts of stories are part of a general narrative. The narrative that accompanies them is that Bill Clinton keeps looking for ways to take shots at Obama and undermine him.
The idea lurks in the background that this is all part of a piece with his "racist" campaign against Obama in 2008, and that he's never gotten over it. Perhaps. But I can't help but notice that this a very thin-skinned, Obama-protecting narrative, that seems likely to have flowed directly from Barack Obama's own cramped, self-justifying, self-pitying brain, and the similar hive-brains of his acolytes, ever ready to defend the Great Black Dope from slights to his person whether they actually occurred or not. Previously, in early March (was that a century ago, or is that just me?), Bill Clinton had "trashed" Barack Obama's economy, as the Federalist put it.During a campaign stop for his wife in North Carolina on Monday, former president Bill Clinton trashed President Obama for painting a "pretty picture" of economic recovery that doesn’t line up with reality. "Millions and millions and millions and millions of people look at that pretty picture of America [Obama] painted and they cannot find themselves in it to save their lives," Clinton said. "People are upset, frankly; they're anxiety-ridden, they’re disoriented, because they don’t seem themselves in that picture," he said. "Hillary is running for president to put every single American in the picture President Obama painted."Video at the link. Then, on March 21, Bill Clinton decried the "awful legacy" of the past eight years. (And the seven years before that, he added.)
"But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the 7 years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her," Clinton said.Video at the link. Quote is from the next following link. Now is that Clinton taking a sneaky, bitter-defeated-rival shot at Obama, or is that Bill Clinton just noticing things that are actually true? In politics, it is the rule that you do not notice things that are true if they happen to undermine your party's narrative and political position, so this could easily fall into both categories: Bill Clinton just saying things that are obvious and incontrovertibly true, and being a dick getting political payback by saying something obvious and incontrovertibly true. With this background, Clinton now turns to what a disaster Obama's foreign policy record is, though he'd better be careful -- his wife has a co-author credit on this.*
During an appearance in Philadelphia, Clinton said, "Unlike when I became president, a lot of things are coming apart around the world now."I don't know if Bill Clinton is really going out of his way to put down Obama or if it's just... unavoidable. How can you talk about the last seven years as anything other than a disaster on all fronts -- economic, security, social? And bear in mind the general model of any election is that someone runs as a continuity candidate, versus someone who runs as a change agent. But that is only possible if there is something that people actually want to continue the, um, continuity of. Hillary Clinton is forced to play a half-in, half-out game on continuity, because Obama's braindead zombie cultists absolutely demand that he be shown that "respect." But she's also running as a "change" candidate -- and this will be much more obvious in the general election, when she doesn't have to appease the Obama Minions as much. The point is, both candidates, whoever they may turn out to be, will be running as "change" candidates in the general election -- implicitly repudiating eight years of Obama's diastrous misrule. Because he's a bad president who's a prisoner of his relentless dogmatism for his bad, musty-smell-of-1968 ideas. And Bill Clinton is really only preparing the field for that turn in general campaign season. Reality is coming, Obama. * Assuming he wants his wife to be president, which some people doubt. I do think he wants his wife to be president, because it ultimately aggrandizes his own ego. No one will doubt that Hillary only became president due to her husband, and Hillary would represent the Clinton Restoration to the throne.

I sometimes wonder if as conservatives we would just be better off making the Democrat Party more centrist than trying to influence Republican races.
I don't like Bill Clinton, but if the Democrat Party had embraced Clintonian Centrism, this country would be so much better off and the Stupid Party losing wouldn't be such a big deal.

Every ounce of effort they spend attacking each other is effort they're not spending attacking our side.
I don't care if this is n-dimensional chess or just petty rivalry. It's good for us, and we need to look for ways to continue pitting them against each other.

Assuming he wants his wife to be president, which some people doubt.
I think that's an unknowable, like whether there is life after death and what do girls talk about when we're not around.
If we're playing Presidential psychology, I think Clinton wants to undermine the senseless fawning over Obama and restore his image as an actually good President.
I know Clinton could have been more proactive about Al Qaeda and 9/11 lies partly at his feet, but we did have eight years of peace and prosperity.
You don't even have to point at what he did to ensure that. He happened to be there when the tech revolution made everyone richer and more efficient. But he passed the first test, don't fuck it up.
Obama fucks the things up.

Apologies if someone already parsed this, but I've got that oohoohooh call on me! thing going:
Unlike when I became president, a lot of things are coming apart around the world now
"Unlike when I BECAME president": this means to me that Bill's saying things were wrapped up pretty tight world-wise in 1992, after 12 years of Reagan/GHW Bush.
Saddam (temporarily) contained, USSR out of the global revolution business; Bill lucked into some fairly tranquil times to be presidentin'.
Of course, that could depend on the meaning of 'became' in Clintopia, right?

It definitely played a part. but even before that, Clinton at least campaigned as a moderate Democrat. The absolute opposite of a Michael Dukakis NE liberal. Tough on crime etc
Even looking at how Hillary campaigned in 2008, she was out there against driver's licenses for illegals and talking about how they're stealing jobs in the Home Depot parking lot.
Obama really shattered the model, the Presidency and the Democrat Party will never be the same.

"Clintonian Centrism"? Huh?
I mean, just leaving out the Stupidity and Ignorance that are at the core of this so-called centrism, why bother with it?
Clinton is a shallow obviously pscyho doofus who stumbled into office with 42% of the vote in America's first modern un-serious WTF who cares election, was a disaster in his first term, a laughing-stock really, who then rode the wave of idiotic indifference and laziness of a country enjoying an economic boom into a second term, where he was even more of a disaster, was steamrolled by an opposition Congress his idiocy helped create, and committed felonies in office which should have made him the first president removed from office.
Oh - aside from degrading the country and the office with his personal behavior, which is separate.
And he's an ignorant mediocrity who turns very nasty the instant this baffling sycophantic misinformed treatment of him stops.
"Trickle-down economics and no regulation" - OK, somebody explain to me how this idiot is any less cretinous than Sheila Jackson Lee or Babs Boxer or Patty Murray or Nancy Pelosi.
On second thought, don't bother.

Seems like everyone wants to go back in time.
A reset.
The media and others have clamped down on any criticism of Obama--even comedic criticism is disallowed.
The tamp down has not allowed for the steam to escape and now it could explode from either end of the outer limits.

Bill is still pissed at Obama for the 2008 implication that the former is a racist. Also, don't think BC could care less about Hillary's campaign or whether she goes to prison or not.
As a matter of fact, a Hillary presidency would probably mess up BC's Mac-Daddy lifestyle--though, lately, he's looking like he no longer has the energy for it.

The biggest departure from reality is when the Clinton's talk about Obama's Foreign Policy in the abstract, like it's some distant, inconceivable product of someone else.
Look at the reality we are living in. Take a better look at what The Hag actually stated and did when in office. It's one disaster after another(the ME and Egypt, Syria, etc. Russian Reset and the Ukraine anyone?).
Shit, she's responsible for the rise of IS with the policies she pursued in Iraq- the entire rush to "pull out" and the mission accomplished around that, against almost every piece of military advice offered. Every time they burn or torture people to death they should be hanging it around her fat ass like an albatross.
Instead we're talking about Trump's hair or his "shifting position on abortion or some stupid shit.

Bill Clinton took the year to year trade status of China and created a permanent most favored designation for them. Looking back, 60, 000 plus American factories closed, and around 5, 000, 000 Americans lost their jobs. His response? Bush should have kept an eye on them. Keeping an eye on them was tbe purpose of annual reviews, and not making their trade status permanent.
But I waste my time and words, because half the population of this country is too dumb to add 2 + 2 together and realize his wife will f*ck them over just as badly.

Just because the country is a shabby Third World sort of embarrassment now, in terms of governance and institutions, doesn't mean Clinton's time wasn't also a disastrous train wreck. It was.
Which brings up another thing. Trump's a con man, according to many. OK, whatever. But WTF with giving Clinton any credit whatsoever on this score? He's "slick" if you're fairly dumb or ignorant - to any intelligent worldly person
You'd never even interview Obama, clearly he brings nothing at all to the table. Clinton would have his interview cut short and be dismissed. Shallow no-talent psycho.

Seems par for the course. Back in 2000, Al Gore didn't run as a continuation of the administration he'd supposedly been a part of. I wasn't thinking of myself as conservative then but a moment that really made me wonder about these people was when Gore's VP pick, Joe Lieberman, desperate for something he and All would supposedly fix, declared that the NASDAQ was at its lowest point since the Depression.
That doesn't make any sense. A few minutes of checking online and I knew what was bothering me: the NASDAQ didn't exist during the Depression. It was formed during the 1960s (Bernie Madoff was part of that effort when he was still legit) and didn't start trading until the early 1970s. But Joe needed something to talk up to make it seem like he and All had a list of things that needed fixing and they were just the guys for the job.
This also stands out to me as the difference between identity politics and a belief in the nation created by the founders. If I applied the same mentality as certain other groups, I would have had to vote Gore-Lieberman because I'm Jewish and Lieberman would have been the first Jewish VP and possibly President to follow. Yet I felt nothing in that regard. I was far more concerned about Lieberman talking nonsense and his attacks on video games a few years earlier. I needed the country lead by someone who shared my beliefs on government, not my ethnicity.

Hillary! is such a strong role-model for the Modern Womyn. She needs a man to become President by riding his coat-tails.
Posted by: Hilary at April 07, 2016 03:33 PM (oGRue)
Many of the ambitious, professional-track women I know identify with Hillary because of personal identity: they've taken sides in the "stay at home vs businesswoman" catfight and it inculcates a sense of being beseiged by an unfair world.
Ladies: being a bitch isn't a career choice, and identifying with bitches isn't a sad necessity of the patriarchy.

Jeepers, WTF?
"Dramatic" differences between Clinton and Obama are mostly illusory, in a practical sense, so paying attention isn't the question, using one's reason apparently is.
Obama effing campaigned with "centrist" nonsense themes in 2008 - or were you not paying attention? Balanced budgets! Efficient guvamint! On and on.
By 2012 it was down to the still-astonishing and vile "vote for revenge" - but ask any stupid NPR-listening Obama-voting suburbanite and at best they'll be (discreetly) "disappointed". These idiots actually believe the "centrist" pablum they hear.
Evan Bayh would like to have a word with you about the pre-Obama Dem party and its vital "centrism".

"You have that idiot Ben Stein out there saying no recession is coming;
we're doing great economically, and unemployment is not 20-30% like
Trump or others claim."
KSFO, the single local outlet for right-wing talk radio in the SF Bay Area, runs all kinds of dopey stuff, including that elderly hack Bob Brinker on weekends.
I was in the car last weekend running errands, and I still had the radio on that station from listening to Mark Levin during the workweek commute crap.
And so I was treated to Bob Brinker, in his old, slow, gentlemanly, pedantic, ponderous way, explaining that the reason we still have record food stamp usage in 2016 is because "we had the worst recession since the Great Depression in 2008".
Un-freaking-believable. Hey, Bob, why is it that reliance on government food aid fell noticeably during all other economic recoveries since the Great Depression? And how about the brutal 1981-82 recession? Why wasn't recovery from THAT also slow? And wasn't the 2008 recession, gosh, I don't know... eight goddamned years ago? We won WWII in four years.

@101: "I can't fathom why we don't even discuss What's Coming For Us economically, anymore."
Because once you start honestly discussing that, you have to start acknowledging that there is no voting your way out of the problem, and most people just won't do that.

The Clintons are worse because they'd infect the body politic for a generation. Chelsea is already dropping hints that she plans to run for a NYC council seat one day. If Hillary! wins the WH, Chelsea will be given a cushy council seat, then a congressional seat in 2020, and then most likely the NY junior senator slot in 2024.

they will destroy Obama's legacy in order to further their own.
This, I think. Remember that ObamaCare originally was going to be HillaryCare back in '93 or thereabouts. That has to sting the Clintons every single day, and the Clintons don't like being stung.

"... and the 7 years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington..."
What a dishonest scumbag. The ones who are pushing trickle-down economics are the dems.They are the ones giving taxpayer money to their favored groups and hoping it trickles down to us other peasants.
And the GOP actually tried to re-regulate the industry, but as the dems were social engineering/making tons of money from it, they fought tooth and nail to keep it unregulated.

This x 1000. President Narcissist would list his legacy as most important over actual national and worldwide issues.
I watched an episode of 'Circus' on Showtime on the 2016 election. Bill was asked about the state of Wisconsin and how important it was to the election. He fiddled and doddered and made absolutely no sense as he rambled on. I do hope the man lasts through the election season as Hillary who I see as desperate would use his death as an election gift.

Nope, he hasn't "had it all" yet.

Depends on what your definition of "worse" looks like. Bernie would certainly be much less effective. His rhetoric towards huge tax hikes and anti-business likely would have many democrats opposed - the average D is as beholden to their big money as Rs are to theirs.
I think Shrillary would be able to do much more danger to our already very battered and damaged Republic.

A Hillary Presidency would not have been nearly as Leftist as an Obama Administration.
Whether you want to call that your "center" or not, Hillary would not have been that different than Bush in my opinion. Maybe a slight tax increase, a little more regulation, etc. But far more cautious.
Obama was a dramatic departure

Hillary is much more dangerous as Dems fear her and many will oppose the doddering old fool Bernie if he is elected. Problem is he will probably not last a year at his age and will retire or die of stress/heart attack. His VP, most likely Pocahontas, would be the real danger.

Think Hillary would do far more damage considering she's got a loyal, decades-long serving team who would be doing bad stuff from the moment she took to oath of office. Heck, Bill might spend Nov - Jan 20th doing a world tour fire sale selling off as much as he can before she's even officially in office.
Bernie couldn't be nearly as effective, unless he inherits Obama's team - something I would be worried about, too.

Bill and Hillary are about power.
Staying married maximized their power.
They were perfect partners w/the Foundation - State merger for 4 years, raking in *billions* by selling her influence and lord know what else.
Also, oddly, staying married takes the heat of their personal lives because they can count on the press covering for them w/their glowing "power couple/loving marriage" narrative. They get divorced then people naturally start wondering what each one of them is up to.

Obama's first two SECDEFs are already on the record in print about Obama ignoring their advice. Bob Gates said just this week that Obama lied to him about defense spending plans, in only slightly softer words than that.
It'll be interesting to see if Ashton Carter makes it a trifecta.
By the way, Ashcart is off on a round the world tour, trying to patch up diplomatic and inter-military relations that have been badly damaged by Obama's ineptitude.
The Indians are absolutely furious with the administration after last week's "nuclear security summit", where Obama bluntly said that India is the moral equivalent of terrorist-supporting, nuke-proliferating Pakistan.

Uh, you do know they've lived in separate states since Hillary moved out of the WH, right? Bill lives in Chappaqua and travels a lot, while Hill bought a nice DC mansion when she was elected Senator. Hillary's mother then moved in with her (until she passed away). I doubt he was even climbing into bed with her when they lived in the WH.
They are already essentially divorced. Business partners at this point, nothing else.

Hillary has the goods on Obama--and it probably involves Benghazi. That's why she'll get a pardon and also why Bill has the audacity to talk like this.

Also, oddly, staying married takes the heat of their personal lives because they can count on the press covering for them w/their glowing "power couple/loving marriage" narrative. They get divorced then people naturally start wondering what each one of them is up to.
That, and the testifying against each other.

None of those trapping are worthwhile if at the end of the day you have to climb in bed with Hillary at night.
Uh, you do know they've lived in separate states since Hillary moved out of the WH, right? Bill lives in Chappaqua and travels a lot, while Hill bought a nice DC mansion when she was elected Senator. Hillary's mother then moved in with her (until she passed away). I doubt he was even climbing into bed with her when they lived in the WH.
They are already essentially divorced. Business partners at this point, nothing else.

Clinton's comments don't sound like a criticism to me, but rather a defense.
As in, "When I became President, the world wasn't falling apart like it is now--the Berlin wall had fallen, Bush Senior had decommissioned the tactical nukes, we were looking forward to a peace dividend. Obama's got a plate full. We need someone (my wife) who can handle all this crap."

CNBC did a study and determined that the BLS initial call on quarterly GDP was +-1.3% of the final value determined months later when all the data was available.
So, when the Q1 GDP came in at 0.5% yesterday, they called it meaningless because the final value would be between -0.8% and 1.8%, which meant you had no idea if the economy was going forward or backward.

But that's the thing about mercenaries. They are all about selling themselves to the highest bidder, but at least their terms are negotiable. I'd much rather pay off a mercenary than face a zealot.

But he was almost a paragon of competence compared to Bush 43 and it's impossible to compare him to the present filth.
His position in history will be as the target of Congressional overreach, an impeachment on what most of the public regarded as trumped-up and with no prospect of a conviction.
The GOP broke for two generations the impeachment arrow as remedy for Presidential misdeeds, and that's indeed tragic as the current guy needs it rammed up his ass until it comes out his throat.

Places like NJ, NY, CT and CA are going to find this out faster than anyone. People are moving to states where they can hang onto their own money.
There was a good report in one of the financial journals the other say how one hedge fund billionaire moving out of NJ is going to cause a huge hole in their budget. One man.
You can't keep giving out "free shit" when there is nobody left to pay for it.

>>>But what bauble do they want that they can't buy right now?
I mean Al Gore is supposedly worth $200 million.
I get that greed can be insatiable, but the idea you have to continue this farce of a marriage and get your wife elected is the only way an Ex-President cashes in seems a much harder way than necessary to get rich.<<<<
The Clintons aren't rich in the circles they run in.
They hate that.
That's the problem for really greedy people, they always see someone else who has more and want to top them.

if the Lewinsky scandal never went down, you're saying he would not be helping his wife get elected right now?

I think it's a factor, and I think sticking with the decades-long Plan might be an example of something called "escalation of commitment," which Hillary is probably also caught in. (Check it out at neo-neocon.)
It seems illogical to you AND me because we're normal, morally healthy people.

Ex-President cashes in seems a much harder way than necessary to get
rich.
First, the Clintons have raked in billions w/their foundation. Given that less than 10% is ever spent on foundation works (building stuff in Haiti, etc.) this is just as lucrative as Gore's work. The foundation covers all of their living expenses.
Second, they want power. This has been an excellent vehicle for Bill to travel the world, speaking and meeting w/VIPs just as he did as president without most of the accountability to actually solve any of the issues he's discussing. This is what he loves, he was always a policy wonk, and he feeds off of the attention he gets by being a celebrity former president.

Yet the facts are that thousands of voters votes have been disenfranchised by the GOPe.

He asked us about our feelings on Obama, and we were frank. We told him race relations were a disaster under him, along with the economy and everything else. Cyril, our guide, said we weren't the first Americans to tell him that.

Being a Republican, it turns out, means for the now #NeverTrump "principled true conservatives" what it always meant to the bow-tie wearing James Lileks of the world. It's something you say at a party to make yourself seem different, then you prevaricate for three hours until you've walked back to a moderate liberal stance.
Having strong principles you never act on is the same as not having any principles at all.
This embrace of the GOP as the best means to stop Trump turns the whole concept of "principled" true conservatives on its head. It's a bold stance with its tail in its mouth, consuming itself.
Sound and fury, signifying jack squat.

Bill got control of DARPA's prototype time machine for an afternoon. Sadly (or perhaps fortunately) his excursion got cut short when lightning destroyed the control center before a trip to the end of the 1st century BC, thus ensuring she would remain the Virgin Mary.

Delegates that were voted on and won by Mr. Trump were superceded by those not precinct captains and now are the delegates?
I'm sure that everyone will claim that it's all Trump's fault for not playing the game.
Yet the facts are that thousands of voters votes have been disenfranchised by the GOPe.

If the ultimate "deal maker" fails at this stage, doesn't the entire foundation of why he'd make a great President go out the window?
You can cry foul all you want, but if Trump is not on the ticket despite coming in 1st, it sounds like like all that "winner" talk was smoke and mirrors.
---------
The delegates are still pledged to the Donald on the FIRST BALLOT. Cruz is trying to line up more support for the second, third and any following ballots. He is probably doing the same with Little Marcos and Kasich's delegates too.
Having determined conservatives voting on the rules, platform and everything else is just a bonus.
Cruz is fighting to win. I wish Romney and McCain tried to win.

If the candidate running against the "corrupt and incompetent government
hacks" currently in power has his 1st place finish withheld through
procedural gimmicks, he will still have won. Get it?
And if the candidate can't deal with the hacks in his own party, why would you assume he'll be able to deal with those in the other party? Capisce?

We had wonderful guides in Jo-burg, Pretoria, Cape Town, and in-between. All of them had fought against apartheid and personally knew Mandela. One guy we're staying in touch with, was imprisoned and tortured, but is for reconciliation and forgiveness. He despises the corrupt government they have in power now.
He asked us about our feelings on Obama, and we were frank. We told him race relations were a disaster under him, along with the economy and everything else. Cyril, our guide, said we weren't the first Americans to tell him that.
We came away with such a fondness for the lovely people we came to know over there.

When I think of the typical delegate it's someone who makes their living from being connected to government. Now there will be true-believing Constitutionalists and Tea Partiers in the mix, but most of the delegates -- even the ones pledged to Trump or Cruz on the first ballot -- will vote their personal best interest if they can.
Why do we think that Cruz will be successful at planting the necessary hundreds and hundreds of "his" people in as delegates to win after the first ballot.
When word comes down from the Inner Party that Rent Seeking delegates should vote for Romney/Ryan/Whoever if they know what's good for them, how do you think they're going to vote?

Delegates were not voted on and won by Trump... a primary was. 27 delegates are chosen by district convention and by the district delegates and 28 delegates are chosen at the state convention. They are all bound for the first ballot and after that they are unbound. The district and state delegates are free to choose any of the delegates to the RNC they want (so long as those delegates are candidates)... whether those delegates support Trump or not.
This is not new... the process was known (or knowable) to all candidates going in. So, yeah, it is Trump's fault if he did not make sure that there was slates of Trump favorable delegates for the state and district conventions to vote on (or did not recruit delegates to those conventions to do the voting).

"Yes, Trump's delegates are fair game, because he is an unperson
unfit for office, and if you don't like it you just don't get it."

No, shorter response is this: If Trump can't get to 1237 on the first ballot, then he likely won't win.

Who's the one whining, clownshoes? Scoreboard. Good on Ted: I've never rooted against him once.
But if the situation were reversed, this would be "more evidence Trump is as corrupt as any democrat" and the gnashing of teeth would be audible.

I don't think they want the voters. They want to lose to the Dems and keep their phoney baloney jobs as the Washington Generals.

Can Cruz win at the Convention? You have to believe that (1) Trump won't get to 1,237 and (2) Cruz can cut the GOPe out of the process by stacking the delegates.
#1 is certainly possible. I'm very skeptical about #2.

Yes, because Trump and his supporters have been such a delight this primary.
You don't want to vote because you are upset at the way the other team fought while you were tossing daisies, don't vote. That makes a ton of sense. But don't blame anyone but yourself.

Which doesn't explain the hankering for same exhibited by commenters here, who gain NOTHING from further GOPe/Dem control of the White House.
I think it's Jewish Mother Syndrome: the truecon right has gotten used to their 'sighing and carefully explaining things to the rubes' routine. There are no good solutions to the problems we face, and the kernel of truecon republicanism has become an abstract perfect solution that the country has decayed too much to be possible.
They're perfect, they've just been passed by.
Well fucking thanks for checking in on us, guys.

I was always mystified by the Denethors and Cyphers, the collaborators of heroic fiction.
Now that I see it in person I'm still mystified.
Supporting Cruz instead of Trump is fine. Making Trump supporters out to be the REAL enemy, even more than the left.

In fairness to Obama (I can't believe I wrote that) she's forced to play a half-in, half-out game with her husband's Presidency/her co-Presidency (VCCLEA, PRWORA, GLB, DADT, DOMA) her term as a Senator (Iraq, Gay Marriage), and as Secretary of State (Libya).
I expect John Kerry to become the designated bag-holder for her flops as SecState.
