Bernie is not doing the US any favors. If she wins the nomination as is highly likely, he is making it harder for her to win.

It just doesnât even begin to make sense to me that this was a dig at Obama considering the fact that HRC is basically running as an Obama third term and because BC knows better than anyone the stupidity in running away from a popular president.

Typical conservative willful ignorance.
Everyone knows what he meant, but of course conservatives will twist and lie about it.
Itâs the conservative way, after all.
I am a bit surprised that Bill was soâŚsloppyâŚin his comment. A politician really should not leave anything open for interpretation when making a comment like that.
I have wonder though, is he well?

The man has some stones complaining about âNo regulationâ. So many of the problems we have now are due to Clintonâs deregulation of industries that are Hilaryâs greatest contributors.
Killed Glass-Steagall.
Signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which barred SEC and CFTC from regulating derivatives and credit-default swaps.
Allowed and encouraged media consolidation via Telecom Act of 1996.
I could go onâŚ

Except that he did a masterful job acting as explainer in chief at the convention in 2012.

Meh. Just typical politician behavior, honestly. The kind of thing that they would expect Hillary to do and ought to alienate his fans a bit and make them wonder if heâs not just another politician after all. But, of course, they wonât. Not how it works.

I have noticed a real change in his rhetoric in the last few weeks, and (for me at least), it doesnât reflect well on him.

BC has had a chip on his shoulder re: BO since way back when (i.e., 2007).

Good point.
Has PBO been teaching him 11d chess?

Not even clever.
Iâm confused. Read Bernieâs response three times and it sounds like, to me, that heâs defending the president. What am I missing? Should he have said nothing?

Ask Obama himself. I guarantee he doesnât think WJC bashed him because the context is as clear as it can be â Hillary has campaigned to build on Oâs legacy, Bill has been defending Oâs records, and above all Hillary was key part of Oâs team.
Those people who willfully ignore the context would excitedly jump on it right away to score some points. I hate election seasons

To me, that was the highlight of that convention. One of his best speeches ever.

I havenât heard him speak in awhile, so I donât really know. This snippet shows someone whoâs struggling. We all age, and maybe his age is finally catching up. I hope this is an anomaly.

I agree that this was clumsy. He clearly didnât mean to refer to Obamaâs presidency. This comes from the habitual mealy-mouthed insistence on referring to âCongressâ when discussing the Republican congressional factionâthe strategy, totally counterproductive in the current climate, of using ânonpartisanâ language to describe a hyper-partisan reality.

That interpretation makes sense only if Bill Clinton actually attacked Obama with that remark. Do you think Bill attacked Obama?

I donât think he has lost his touch and I am willing to give him a lot of slack. He is out on the campaign trail every day. I canât imagine not making more mistakes - I know I couldnât do it. And anyone who doubts the depth of the Clintonâs loyalty to the current president has not been watching or listening for the past seven years. Reading the comment it is obvious what he was talking about.
And to the critics of Bill Clinton - if you are a Democrat - you owe him a debt of gratitude for saving the Democratic Party in 1992 and his team for keeping Tad Devine from messing up that campaign as he has done on every other he has touched.
As for Bernie Sanderâs remarks, typical reaction. Will be happy when he no longer commands any recognition for his remarks. Wonât miss his wagging finger.

I donât know if heâs lost his deft touch in general or somehow he becomes inept when he is trying to campaign for Hillary. But I cannot imagine the Bill Clinton of the 90s slipping up this way.

Re: Sanders - this is still a real race here, 1176 to 855 out of 2026 needed. I know that the idea of anyone running against Hillary bums some people out. Itâs an outrage! Incomprehensible! But⌠deal with it? This a nerf campaign anyway, how did you guys get such thin skins?
