Bill Clinton Allegedly Invites Barack Obama to "Kiss My Ass," and Not in the Good Way
While Hillary Clinton -- who seems to have accepted her disheartening loss to Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination -- has this weekend begun campaigning to help the Democratic Party heal itself and unite behind its candidate, according to the U.K.'s newspaper The Telegraph, her husband Bill is having bit more rough a time dealing with the loss.
Maybe he's upset that Obama could be stealing his "first black president" title from him.
An unnamed "senior Democrat who worked for Mr. Clinton" and who apparently has no issues airing our country's dirty laundry with a foreign newspaper was quoted as saying...
"He's saying he's not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.
"You can't talk like that about Obama -- he's the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around."
Yes, it's completely improper for a former president to speak that way to friends in private conversation when referring to the Democratic nominee.
Why, it's almost as bad as a former president's confidant anonymously repeating to a newspaper hearsay about what that former president maybe might have said about the Democratic nominee and then, in the next breath, referring to that nominee (who happens to be black) as a "house boy."
It's a good thing Bill Clinton keeps aides of such impeccable wisdom and taste in close company.

The news media has report on every gaffe or any questionable conduct by Barack Obama and his surrogates as far back as the democratic primary. They are reported on for weeks, when Hillary Clinton and now John McCain are giving a pass. It is beginning to look like it is becoming racially motivated by this type of reporting. Please report on this injustice. I added a report from the Huffington Post to back up my claim.
This article is from the Huffington Post.
During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made -- TWICE. All this and it is not even Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn't say anything about him.
But let's unpack McCain's week in a little more detail.
1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace." This is not a quote taken out of context. John McCain called one of the most successful and popular government programs, which uses the tax revenues of current workers to support retirement benefits for the elderly "an absolute disgrace." This is shocking - and if uttered from Obama's mouth would dominate the news coverage and the Sunday shows, as pundits would speculate about the massive damage the statement would cause him among retirees in Florida.
2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy. Words cannot fully explain how devastating this statement should be from Phil Gramm. You would think it would be enough to sink McCain's campaign. Of course McCain only thinks that the economic problems are psychological.
3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop. The Iraqis now want us to begin planning our withdrawal - McCain however wants to stay foooorrreeevvveerrrr. So what does McCain say - First, he refuses to accept Maliki's statement as being true. Then he concedes that it was an accurate statement, but was probably just a political ploy to curry favor with his own people and WOULD NOT influence his determination to keep US troops in Iraq indefinitely. Yet, McCain in 2004 at the Council on Foreign Relations said that if the Iraqis asked us to leave, we would have to go. No matter what. But that was apparently a younger and less experienced John McCain.
But let's just look at his comment that Maliki's statement is "just politics." If that is true, then it must also be true that the American military presence in Iraq is so unpopular with Iraqis that the government is forced to push for a timetable in order to survive at the ballot box. That's a reason to stay for 100 years.
4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable. There are so many things here. McCain pledges he would eliminate the deficit by the end of his
first term (the campaign latter flip flop flipped about whether it was four years or eight years), but does not provide any details about how he would do it. Economists on both sides of the political aisle said that this was simply not believable, especially given McCain's other proposals to a) cut individual and corporate taxes even further, b) extend the Bush tax cuts and c) massively increase defense spending on manpower (200,000 more troops) and d) maintain a long-term sizable military presence in Iraq.
5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop. Speaking of the long-term military presence - a story that has gotten absolutely no attention is that McCain now believes the war will be over soon. The economic forecasts made by his crack team of economists predict that there will be significant savings during McCain's first term because we will have achieved "victory" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The savings from victory (ie the savings from not having our troops there) will then be used to pay down the deficit. The only way this could have any impact on the deficit in McCain's first time is if troop withdrawals start very soon. So McCain believes victory is in our grasps and we can begin withdraw troops from Iraq pretty much right away -- doesn't sound that different from Obama's plan does it. Someone should at least ask McCain HOW HE DEFINES VICTORY - and why he thinks we will achieve it in the next couple of years.
6. McCain campaign misled about economists support. In the major press release the McCain campaign issued to tout its Jobs for America economic plan that would balance the budget in 4 years, it included the signatures of more than 300 economists who the campaign claimed to support the plan. Only problem is that the economists were actually asked to sign up to SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Um, hello?
7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians. Haha... that's just McCain being McCain. I am sure that is exactly how it is being reported in Tehran. This guy is running for President not to become a talk radio pundit. Yet according to the AP this was just a humanizing moment between candidate and spouse - I am not sure when joking about the deaths of civilians became humanizing.
8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics. Are you kidding?
9). McCain distorts his record on veterans benefits in response to a question from Vietnam Veteran, who then proceeds to call McCain out on it.
10.) McCain demonstrates he knows nothing about Afghanistan and Pakistan. McCain said "I think if there is some good news, I think that there is a glimmer of improving relationship between Karzai and the Pakistanis." Pat Barry notes how crazy this comment is..."Just what "glimmer" is McCain talking about?? Maybe he's referring to President Karzai's remarks last month, which threatened military action in Pakistan if cross-border attacks persisted? Or maybe McCain is talking about Afghanistan's allegations that Pakistan's ISI was involved in a recent assassination attempt on Karzai? Maybe in McCain's world you could call that a silver-lining, but in reality-land I'd call it something else."
Any one of these incidents and comments would dominate the news cycle if they came from the Obama campaign. Yet McCain barely gets a mention. The press like to see themselves as political referees - neutral observers that call them like they see em'. But they want this to be a horse race and so all the calls right now are going one way. How else can you explain the furor last week over the Obama "refine" comment - which represented zero change in Obama's position on Iraq - and the "swift boat" mania over Wesley Clark's uncontroversial comments (psss... by the way McCain exploits his POW experience in just about every ad - yet he says he doesn't like to talk about it).
This Sunday expect the ten incidents above to get short shrift from pundit after pundit, because after all Jesse Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off.
And we all know Bill wants to kiss the asses of Erin Burnett, Leslie Bibb, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams, Jenna Fischer, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler...
Oh, yeah, one mistake really compares to typing a comment that's almost incomprehensible. Other than that, Ron, you can suck a bucket of dicks.
Bill Clinton, I know can not be such a fool to allerge Obama with such a foolish quotation like "Kick My Ass". He cannot do that, as there is no doubt that both Clintons knows that Obama is a great man, genuine, and will really promote changes both in America and outside America.
And if, he really said so then he must be afraiding that Obama once become a President will be 55 times popular than him(Bill Clinton).
And if Clinton was mis-quoted then the person who is responsible for that should be well disciplined as its too bad to make strong leaders like Bill Clinton looks like fools in the public.

Dethanos:
I can't remember if I learned the difference between "they're" and "their" in the fourth grade or not, but you might want to. Other than that, couldn't agree with you more.
Game Blouses.
Benjomatic, so what's your point?
If some dipshit thinks they're opinion is valid enough for me to read, they should be able to write at a fourth grade level, minimum.
Besides, the point of the joke was that his English is so poor that he must have studied English as a second language, because no one with more than two functioning brain cells should ever write such incoherent dribble in their native tongue.
Stupid people suck.
Dethanos... dude, I learned about run-on sentences in the fourth grade. You suck!
Seriously, I'd never want Obama kissing any part of me for fear of Obamanation cooties.
