Report: Obama can “kiss my ass,” says Clinton

Evidently that’s what it’ll take to earn his support. Racist!

[A senior Democrat who worked for Clinton] told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.

“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.

Tom Edsall’s new piece for HuffPo corroborates the allegations of lingering bitterness (minus the “kiss my ass” bon mot), and offers this hint that Clinton might be descending into full-fledged dissociation:

Beyond that, some associates say, Bill Clinton wants Obama to reach out to him as a mentor, a guide who can lead Obama through the labyrinth of a tough presidential election. “Bill wants to be honored, to return to the role of Democratic elder statesman, and get rid of this image of him as a pol willing to do anything to win,” said one associate.

Truly, Obama has much to learn from a one-man gaffe riot whose “unstoppable” machine he outraised and outmaneuvered to the point where he’s now forced to ask his own donors to help peel it off the road. Exit question: Is there such a thing anymore as a Bill Clinton constituency? Which Clinton supporters does he think will be staying home this fall if Hillary hits the trail for Obama but he, in a fit of spite, doesn’t? His wife’s a bigger name than he is now and has some (momentary) cultural resonance with women; Gore is arguably bigger than he is too and has already enthusiastically endorsed Obama, as of course have Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, and even George McGovern, meaning that every other Democratic nominee dating back 36 years is on board for Hopenchange. (JFK’s endorsement by proxy pushes the timeline back even farther.) So who cares? What does Obama gain by dragging Clinton around the country, except an occasional reminder to the liberal base that leftist messiahs don’t always end up especially leftist or messianic?

I think they got the quote wrong. It was about kissing the anterior appendage.

“You can’t talk like that about Obama – he’s the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around.

It’s going to be a loooon and hot summer, for sure.

some associates say, Bill Clinton wants Obama to reach out to him as a mentor, a guide who can lead Obama through the labyrinth of a tough presidential election. “Bill wants to be honored, to return to the role of Democratic elder statesman, and get rid of this image of him as a pol willing to do anything to win,” said one associate.

Heh, what grinds at Mr. Clinton is that Obama outfoxed him and his Mrs. on triangulation. They will both die bitter about this single fact. “How did this punk dare to?”.

I can’t wait for the Nov. 4, late at night, or Nov. 5, early morning Gargantuan orgasm around the world, or the hysterical Gargantuan cry, around the same. Either way, we’ll deserve it.

Mrs. Clinton as SCOTUS

Mr. Carter as Secretary of State

Mrs. Maxine Waters as Secretary of Intelligence

Mr. John Forbes Kerry as Secretary of Elitism and Haughtiness, aka, Style

Mrs. Obama as Better Than You National Hostess

Mr. Gore as Secretary of Climate Change Exploitation and Taxation

Mr. Clinton as Crybaby in Chief

Mr. Obama as Messiah of the World

Rejoice!

Bill to Obama:

Apologize.

misterpeasea on June 28, 2008 at 3:53 PM

This campaign has uncovered more of what Bill is all about. He’s a classic political thug. His complete selfishness and righteousness can only help McCains efforts to gain independants. Some liberal rags are hinting if he keeps it up he may damage his reputation. Damage his reputation? Isnt this the guy who got a BJ in the Oral office, lied to a grand jury, whitewater….etc etc. Do these Libs actually believe themselves when they think he has a good reputation. And does anyone know inaugeration history…dont they always say the entire presidents name? How will they get around having to say Hussein

William Jefferson Clinton did nothing while Americans and allies were blown up in the nineties.

Obama is a commie whose presidency will cripple this nation.

Both of them can kiss MY big, black…combat boot.

What’s hilarious about this role reversal is that Clinton is Mr.President and Obama is only Mr.Wannabe as yet. The “Mr.President can’t talk like that about our Wannabe” tripe is another LOL. Wanna bet Bill can’t say what he wants? What’s he got to lose at this point? NOTHING!!! It’s all gone already except for the title. So let the good times roll.

malkinmania “Damage his reputation?”

Exactly, but please don’t overlook the formality of having been IMPEACHED. Geez, Nixon quit rather than face impeachment. So those of us who thought impeachment must be worse than death were stunned when it didn’t phase Clinton. But then, if it all depends on what “is” is, then being the Waco baby burner doesn’t matter, either, as there is no conscience with Marx. Clinton’s fuming because his deal with Mephistopheles was to trounce the audacity of hope in hell and now Obama’s cornering that monopoly with change that fools can believe in.

abinitioadinfinitum on June 28, 2008 at 4:49 PM

Looked at from the standpoint of absolute self-interest as a factor in decision-making, I think Hillary and Bill would prefer an Obama loss to McCain.

President Obama means Hillary probably doesnt get another shot at The Big Prize. If McCain wins tho, Hillary is back in the Senate as the prohibitive front runner for the Dem nomination in 2012 & a shot at McCain’s VP, who will have the difficult task of defending three straight GOP Presidencies. Post-FDR, neither party has held the Oval Office for 4 consecutive terms.

Unless McCain’s VP turns into some kind of pop culture superstar overnight, the conditions for Dems generally and Hillary in particular look pretty good in 2012. And right now, theres not a Congresscritter or Dem governor in sight lining up to rival Hillary.

So i suspect both Clintons will campaign publicly for Obama; all the real catfighting will go on behind the scenes. I also think Obama will get JFK/FDR-style press coverage and enormous popmediaculture adulation. He’ll be in cereal ads before long. That might be just enough to elect him in a close race.

But while Bill & Hill slam McCain at college rallies and state fairs across the country this Fall, by night they will pray for McCain to win. Hillary will anyway. Who knows about Bill? I suspect deep down he does not want her to be President.

Discuss.

It’s worth putting up with the Obama cult to see the Clantons finally getting their comeuppance.

They remind me of nothing more than the Dukes at the end of “Trading Spaces” shouting “Turn those machines back on!!” after they have been ruined by Billy Ray Valentine.

rockmom on June 28, 2008 at 4:52 PM

Report: Obama can “kiss my ass,” says Clinton

Barack Hussein Obama (Allah be praised), missed the whole point of making up, and unity with the Clintons. First off Hussein, you have to understand Slick Willy’s code words, of is, kiss etc. When WJC says, “kiss my ass,” he means you do it like Monica, under his desk!

Whodathunk that Hillary would whore out to Obama before Bubba? I thought she was the one with the guts, but she wimped out and kissed his ass first. Never saw that one coming.

Buzzy on June 28, 2008 at 5:28 PM

What Obama gets with Clinton is appeal to Reagan Democrats. Gore, Hillary, etc. have no appeal whatsoever to Reagan Dems, excepting Hillary’s momentary “anti-Obama” status in the primaries. Which ought to give Dems pause as to how disliked Obama is.

Obama will pull in the Youth Vote, but Seniors outnumber the youth vote by 8 million. Obama will pull in yuppies, but blue collar men are still the largest demo slice at 25%. Obama will pull in Blacks, but 90% block voting will repel Latinos and blue collar whites.

Clinton offers reassurance to blue collar whites and Latinos that Obama is “safe” and does not really mean the the things he’s said about policies that hurt those groups, particularly higher gas prices and electricity rates. It costs the true-believers who will vote Dem anyway.

Clinton is not stupid, he thinks Obama will lose like McGovern and at this point, Obama is the one to learn from the only re-elected Democratic President since Harry Truman.

It’s one thing to win the Kossacks in the Primary. Another to win against even Maverick in the General.

whiskey_199 on June 28, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Kathryn Jean Lopez over at the Corner thinks Bill will soon or has already reached out to the McCain camp. The ultimate triangulation!

Dork B. on June 28, 2008 at 10:37 PM

BJ is a disgustingly small man, whatever Lewinski says.

Overall, it would be good for the Clintons to frag Barry. Whatever damage Barry can do, the Marxists do, never seems to be fully reversed. It may be that I am entering geezerhood, but it seems to me the socialists have set the overall agenda, with some exceptions and reversals, but we are much more a socialist country than we were 25 years ago.

So I eagerly await Barry’s failure to adequately please Billy Jeff. I doubt Michelle would do much better, though she might learn a few things. After all, wasn’t shaking hands with him a “whole-body sexual experience” for one useful female idiot of the press?
