Bill Clinton said former president George H.W. Bush will help fix damage done to America's reputation by his son, George W. Bush.
ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president - Bush's son, George W. Bush.
"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.
A spokesman for the George H. W. Bush said Tuesday afternoon the former president supports his son's foreign policy and has "never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton." (Click here for the full statement)
Clinton and the elder Bush, rivals in the 1992 presidential election, have grown chummy in recent years, often traveling and appearing at public events together. In 2005, they started a charity to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
UPDATE: The Republican National Committee issued this statement in response to Clinton's comments:
"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders - both current and former - to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."

Clinton's ineptitude allowed radical Islamicfascism to rise under his watch. Bill should think twice when he accuses Bush of damaging the USA's reputation. Safety from Global Terrorism is far more important than a country's reputation.
That is why the people are tired of the Clintons and Bushes. We need something new.
Excellent. Just keep son George out of it!
Yes, they started a charity for Katrina victims because they wanted to characterize those folks as needful of charity. And,,because the federal govt under G W Bush failed to do what was expected of the Govt to do in times of emergency.
To me, it makes me a bit nervous that the Bushes and Clintons are getting so comfortable.
Does this seem right?:
1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH
2004=BUSH
2008=CLINTON
2012=CLINTON
Come on people. This is rediculous. You can't have change if you keep trying to vote the same people in. BTW, Hillary is more like Bush than Bill (Pro-War, Pro-Corporation)
Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08
I think the last thing we need is for a Bush to further be seen as the face of America.
I'm not a conspiracy theorists – but comments like this from Bill Clinton make me really wonder... Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton...
GH-Bush has been very protective of his son, our President. What makes Bill Clinton think Bush-41 won't come out publically to denounce his statement?
Bill Clinton has been doing some pretty odd things for being a "consumate" politician.
I leave our tv tuned to cnn all day. If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice. Why do ALL you select her as your choice to hurt. Are you opposed to females'in office???? do we females'have to unite & wage war against CNN??? Delve into Obama's negative back ground & report on his for a CHANGE of scenery & TOPIC
This Family has lost there Minds, This is whats happens kids when you sleep in seperate rooms, from your spouse
She just wants to get Bill out of his favorite playground. He's still got a lot of viagra to use up.
Bringing the elder Bush along would be just a screen..........
Great...just what America needs!! Not one, but two buffons, and the father of a buffon! God help us all. You don't think George Sr. aided his son?? This is the kind of "old" stagnant politics we are talking about!!!
Anybody but Hillary 08
That's what I call a "change agent." Let's go back not only to the 90's but also the 80's! Puhhlleeaase!
As your neighbour, please no more divisive politics!! These two had their chance and are not as highly regarded by the rest of the world as Americans believe.
Everyone I know who is reading about your election with their fingers crossed that your election will result in someone who will unite your countrym and restore your credibilty as a world leader.
You just can't make this stuff up with this guy!
He not only slams "W" for " losin' " all credibility in the world (that's a real big yawn here …), but says that HE and HWB will fix that when Hillary is elected! He insults the son on his foreign policy, and expects the dad to pitch in and "fix it". Incredible. The chutzpah of this guy has no limits.
Ya know how you can get those other folks to "like us" (who really cares if they don't!) again, Slick … stop all Foreign Aid to them. They'll be on our doorstep in a heartbeat.
seriously.. Here is a guy who wants America to foot the bill because he cheated on his wife.
Folks, let's all cheat on our partners and promise them the Presidency as a consolation price when they threaten to leave us, and then make the American people pay for our lust by voting our partners in office.Ole Bill has figured the trick out....
It's all about money and power...
Sure. Sending someone out into the world whose name happens to be George Bush is such a good idea.
Bill Clinton has gone insane.
Hillary has run the nastiest campaign that I have ever seen.
I hope that America is paying close attention.
Clinton and Bush: partners in crime. Wake up America and keep both families out of the White House!
Marvene –
Where do you see negative remarks about Hillary in this article? I don't see any misogyny here, so please save your outrage.
First, I think the article clearly is trying to make much out of a simple comment, second I believe that it is good for former presidents to put forth to the world that they represent the face of the nation united with a sitting president. You mean to tell me that Obama wouldn't do something like this? some of your comments are borderline moronic. then again most of the hillary-haters have nothing else to offer. we need change that will unite this country, Obama is not talking about how to move forward with our system of government, he is talking about tearing it down, we had our founding fathers to thank for this great country and no 1 term senator is going to change it overnight. Sen. Obama is ignorant or chooses to ignore our way of government, the only reason why pres. Bush hasn't burned the country down is because checks and balances but when you listen to Obama you see the other side of the coin and it is not pretty either. I want to see a government that is serios about putting forth mechanisms that will ENABLE every day Americans pursue their own hapiness, I don't need a preacher in the white house, I see him every Sunday at Church already.
HEY BILL, THERE GOES A PAIR OF LEGS IN A SKIRT. FETCH BOY FETCH!
That's just beautiful...Daddy's going to go around the world and clean up the mess that Jr. made. A Disgrace.
Nice try Bill. You're a great diplomat and I admire that. But if you think "Senior" is going to piss of "Junior" by touring with Hillary, you're delusional. Maybe you've been inhaling?
AMEN! That's clever!
Oh you have to love it. Hillary needs to show a softer side and parades out friends and tears up.
What's next Bill showing up, looking into the camera, making his chin quiver as he chokes up and says "I feel your pain".
Just what sort of fools for this lady?
The ugly truth is begining to gome out. We can clearly and truly see there are some elephants disguising as horses but their size gives them away!
I'm sure we Americans know better than to let the Bushes and Clintons blind fold us all and continue to take us for a ride. I told ya, the Clintons will roll on the floor, cry or weep (whichever seems appropriate) on demand to get votes.
What's bill demanding now? Is it for Bush Senior to endorse Hillary? It will be the greatest shame of all if we ever let a Bush or Clinton come close to residing in the White House again.
We have a population of more than 350 millions. I'll be the last person to think that we can't find smarter and more sincere people than the Bushes and the Clintons.
There is no 'sneakier' politician than the Clintons – especially Bill. This guy played us like a violin. Now the wife wants to play us like a fiddle.
Wake up America! Bring back the glorious days and vote Obama/Edwards '08.
America is open for business Bill. Instead of illicit affairs this President is busy fighting a war on terror that you dropped the ball on.
All tis country would get from Clinton II in the white house is 4 more years of sleeze.
Can't wait to see George H.W. Bush slam him to the ground on this one. W has done an outstanding job in keeping us safe, kicking terrorist butt, lowering taxes, and maintaining a strong economy. I don't care what all you media influenced sheep think.
That is interesting. The first think Hillary wants to do when she gets to the White House is get rid of Bill? I wonder how long she will keep him out "campaigning" to the world? Maybe she is smarter then I thought.
@ Jesse,
Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08
Yeah.., I'd go with that.
Tired of the good old boy elitist Democratic or Republican ideology. Time for a different approach to who we are as a great nation and how we interact with the rest of the world.
Nice, we get an encore presidency of Bush-Clinton. So much for change.
Back to reality ... nice try there Bill.
What a moron. He just attacked GHWB just so that Hillary would benefit, and then he claims GHWB and he will help undo what GWB did. You've got to be kidding me?!
Can you ssssmmmeeeeeelllll... what BARACK... is cooking.. ?
Just say no to dynasty families. Its time they understand that isn't the way America is supposed to work.
Bill Clinton must've grown an extra chromosome, because there is no way George HW Bush will go out there and "undo the damage" caused by his son. He's already said in interviews how much it hurts him to hear people criticize G.W. I doubt he'd willingly expose himself to hear so much more of it around the world, even in the name of "saving face."
Bill Clinton might not realize this, but despite Bush 41s faults he actually values his family. I suppose emotions are foreign to political robots like Bill Clinton, who can't see love but only opportunity.
If Hillary is nominated, I will vote Republican in the General Election to save this Republic from dynastic rule! Is this the change that Hillary is talking about. If it is then it means real and fundamental change in this country. Dynasties will be the norm. Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, then Clinton, Clinton, followed by Jeb Bush, Jeb Bush, then Chelsea Clinton etc! I mean these people are joking!
Message to the world. If Hillary is elected, Bill's coming for your wives and daughters.
This admission is the New World Order giving you a glimpse inside the workings of the real world.
Good Cop, bad cop...same department.
Wake up sheep.
What is preventing them from doing that now?
Early signs of dementia?
By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Democratic voters increasingly are focused on nominating the most electable presidential candidate, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama fares better than New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton against prospective Republican rivals.
Obama '08
Is she serious? Send a Bush out to repair America's reputation?
Seriously, Bill's messing with us, right?
Man, if they're serious, their judgement is more screwed up than I thought.
i get the feeling that the Bushs and Clintons are playing a giant game of good cop / bad cop with the american people. We know that America swings back and forth, the best way to keep control over a long time is to create an illusion that the Bushs and clintons are different so they can play the people against them....
as for the people who call us non clinton supporters "Hillary haters"
All I can say is: Look at her record...that is all I needed to not vote for her
Hey, TB from Florida-You might want to be able to spell buffoon, before you call someone that. Calling them a buffon really doesn't say much about your thought processes.
I think Bush Senior worked with Bill Clinton on good faith and good cause. He certainly did not expect Bill to insult him and his son the way he does in this statement. This just goes to tell you what kind of person Bill is. No shame!
Who is Bill to order Bush senior to work for his crying wife? The Clintons simply don't know shame. Perhaps Bill knows their days are numbered in politics and they want to drag down as many enemies as possible with them. He was using Bush senior for his return to the White House. Now he is throwing him out with the bath water. I bet you he cried a lot, too. Who is there to blame but themselves?
WELCOME TO AMERICA, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF AMERICA.
I am George Clinton and I approve this message.
Paid for by George & Bill, Father and Husband.
hey come on if we get a clinton we have a good change have you forgotten bill clinton how good you could live bad times are here better have a clinton 08
Clinton's
Never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge!
"You can't have a change if you vote the same people in." (in reference to bush-clinton-bush-clinton) ... true. But the people doing that are the people who don't want a change. And it's their right to vote that way.
As far as everyone slandering Hillary, she's a huge target. 1) The front runner always takes the most heat. If you think it's bad now, just wait until next year. 2) She's a female. The first one to have a good shot at serving as our president. That worries a lot of people because it's a big change from what everyone is used to. Bad or good, refer to the above bush-clinton-bush-clinton series and people who may not want change. It applies to that concept as well.
All the candidates scare me.
If Obama were white, would he be getting all the attention?.. Would he even remotely qualify for anyone's vote? Would Oprah endorse him?..
If Hillary were a man, would there be ANY doubt she would be the next president? Why is it OK for Obama to speak at will against Hillary, yet Bill Clinton is crucified for pointing out the obvious, that Obama is NOT qualified, nor has the experience necessary to run this country.
Ex-presidents should stay out of primary elections.
Does not seem too outrageous but it goes to show how they actually work together. Clinton and Bush Sr. know darn well they are the worst and most power hungry presidents in US history next to the current.
Yes, yes. We all need Bill Clinton to "repair our reputation abroad". It is doubtful that H.W. will participate in any such mission. Besides, Hillary will not have the chance to dispatch such a team when she is still a senator on January 20, 2009. Keep dreaming Dems!
bush-clinton-bush-clinton
says it all.
the usual masonic hegemony
god bless the usa
Clinton looks more and more like WC Fields. He is a pathetic, self-absorbed crook. He and his hideous wife should go back to the hills of Arkansas. GHW Bush should immediately distance himself from this pig.
Republicans and Democrats have the same agenda! Sell america OUT! They both endorse Ethenol, which is leading to world hunger because not enough farms for food. Al Gore is making millions off Going Green. Wake up!!!
Ron Paul 2008!
Ever wonder why it's "Hillary '08", not "Clinton '08"?
She will not be "President Hillary", you know. She will be (and who really wanted this exactly?) "President Clinton".
That so many people have fallen for this campaign ploy, forgetting that we'll have both "President Clinton and former President Clinton" in the White House, is a testament to the oblivion so many Americans inhabit.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton... But wait, no. It's Hillary, see? Sure. And look forward to headlines like, "President Hillary defends permanent American military bases in Iraq. Promises troop redeployment before re-election bid."
why don't they just do this. they don't need Hillary's help. If she isn't elected are they not going to go?
The Clintons have got to go! Enough already with this windbag and his mean wife.
bill clinton is a lying perjurer and hillary won't be elected president because she is nothing but a crook. Thank God we have had George W Bush. the clintons can take their stolen money and move to china and the USA will be better off without them. WE THE People are taking back our country . Point your finger at me billy and it may go off stupid.
America needs a woman President like a fish needs a bike.
How is Hillary promising change if she is going to bring in George Bush Sr. as part of her team? Crazy logic.
That's the father of the worst president of all time - the father of the one we are trying to bring change from!
Enough Clinton, Enough Bush.
Mike
OBAMA 2008
You're kidding me, right? Has Bill ever heard of Iran-Contra? What in the world makes Bubba think GHW Bush is welcome anywhere, except maybe Saudi Arabia?
I am suddenly sooo for Obama.
All you libs on this site, its really sad. This is clearly just another BOOF from Bill. he will get slapped down tomorrow for it in the media and Mr HW Bush will expose this for the lie it is. Do you really think Mr. HW Bush would conspire with any Clinton on anything that would deface his own family?
It appears that Bubba has finally inhaled! I think perhaps he's the reason for global warming, with all the hot air he's blowing.
George Sr spends all day talknig about the new world order and wishing he was back at bohemian grove...Clinton is in on the exact same things, its almost not worth typing out to express the stuff that people should have no excuse not to know atleast 3 years ago...George SR worked for the CIA what else do you need to know not to trust someone, the CIA is worse then the FBI and George was the head of it...Now Clinton is coming out and wanting to work with him, this is the kind of thing Bill gets off on...Should be a good indicator of what Hillary will bring, a corporate dictatorship...Bush's presidency is the traning ground, someone has to pick up where he left off
What a disgraceful thing to say coming from a disgraced, impeached former president himself. It was George W. Bush who repaired America's reputation from 8 years of the US being a laughing stock because of the non-stop scandals and criminal empire emanating from the White House under Bill and Hillary Clinton. We are respected around the world – as evidenced by the fact there are growing free thinker countries out there like France, Germany and new europe. We are dissed by liberals around the world and that's all. Lets see how all those ungrateful guttersnipes act when we cut off their foreign aid. Then they'll change their tone. We feed and clothe the world and we are the leaders in green technology. The stuff they say about the US is slanderous!
I think it is completely appropriate. Bill Clinton didn't hesitate when Bush the Younger called for his help after the tsunami and Katrina.
Bush the Elder would help if President Obama, or President Edwards, or President Kucinich, or President Hillary Clinton were to ask, as well.
HRC belongs in the BigHouse, not the WhiteHouse.
What a bunch of nonsense! Can he really belive all the things that he says? If he did not make visits for his son would he really make it for Hillary?
Excuse me Jessie from Burnsville, but you do not think Bill Clinton was Pro-war or Pro-Corporation??
Let me remind you of the Kosovo war where today there is incredible unrest in the region with Muslims pouring into the country and establishing terrorist-camps. This war has solved less than the Iraq war, unless you believe that burning Serbian villages and destroying orthodox churches in the name of islam is a good thing.
Bill signed NAFTA, which was Corporate America's dream and labor America's nightmare.
I know we all want Bill to make us feel good but don't you think it is time we finally were honest about who he is?
When will people realize that people criticizing Clinton are not doing it because of gender? I have a hard time believing anyone besides extreme fundamentalists would attack her because she's a woman. The only reason she's getting lots of negative attention is because she's a prominent figure and because she's doing things wrong. The only way people will leave her alone is if she stops doing things to attract peoples ire, such as lying.
dear jesse,
you left off juan bush – 2016
*************juan bush – 2020.
then juan bush's son george P. bush.
BILL CLINTON is an American Criminal with a closet full of skeletons, corpses, drugs and diseases. Hillary is a closeted Lesbian or at least bisexual. Bill Clinton needs to go away and allow Americans to move this country forward without a Bush or a Clinton.
marveyne its women like you who give democrats a bad name...cnn is a democrat run corp..if hilary was even a remotely decent candidate they would be backing her...its best you dont talk and let the other scamming dems with some knowledge of politics do the judging
I agree totally with Jesse from Burnsville, MN. I'll take Edwards or Obama or even Ron Paul over the rest of these corporate schills. And especially no more Clintons or Bushes. It has nothing to do with gender. Let's PROGRESS out of this negative feedback loop we're caught in.
'around the world to tell "THEM" that we are open for business and cooperation again'.
what does this mean?
it says nothing?
for saudis to attend flight schools.
to allow terrorists do set off explosives at the world trade center?
to allow massive number of more illegals to enter USA?
to have iraquis set off another okla city?
to allow iran and n. korea to do what they please.
to sell more defense secrets to chinese with bernard schwartz in charge.
to have more illegal funding of political campaigns which is against the law.
hey, charlie trie and john huang!
put madame albright in charge of bribery?
what does george "patrician" bush have to say?
I am concerned that my teenagers will not know a president who is neither a Bush or a Clinton. Time for a change.
What does this say about our democracy?
Could Hillary , like G.W. really be the best choice out there? I am doubtful.
More desperation to save that hag from poltical destruction. Has anyone noticed lately how France is cozing up. Germany mighty friendly as of late and England still there and African nation's never joined the choir because of Bush AID's help..who's still mad at us? ..The Balinese? Cuban's? or the frightful Somoans. I'll stick with the 50% that are still our friends. The other 505 ain't worth spit.
So what you are saying Clinton beats Bush 4 to 3
Ross Perot was why Clinton got elected in '92.Barring a 3rd party republican doing that again it is doubtful any of the democrats can win the general election.The seat will be open. God bless America.

More like that Jesse – it's even worse!
I knew BJ Clinton was sleazy but who knew this piece of white trash could go so low. How about this, Chief Rat, when the repubs keep the WH in 2009, we can send you to your donor friends in Saudi Arabia, where they can teach you what should be done with rapists and thieves.
We needed GW Bush to repair America after eight years of the Rapist Clinton, who bombed innocent people in Serbia and allowed al Qaeda to metastasize while he was busy raping America. No, we do not want him working to "restore" America – George W. Bush is doing that already. That is why the Dems are so frustrated – we are winning in Iraq!
this guy is sick in the head. No decency.
Bill is losing touch with reality. Does he really think George H.W. will tour the world arm-in-arm with him telling the world what a f-up his on was and that "we're open for business again?" Of course not. Man, if I was Hillary I'd find a nice beach for my husband to sit on until after Feb. 5. He is hurting her. As an Obama supporter I'm loving it though. Actually, keep it up Bill...talk abut Obama's "madrassa" story a little bit more.
You read this story and begin to wonder why Obama is starting to hit his stride. Keep talking Bill, your doing your wife a "GREAT SERVICE".
Instead of reaching the easiest conclusions that people do not want a woman for president, I'd encourage you to look at what Hillary SAYS vs what Hillary DOES, because there is not enough congruency for me. Also I can't see how anyone can be comfortable with the big corporate bucks and believe that no favors will be expected–is that what we have seen in the past in politics? As far as this article: Are the Clintons TRYING to lose? You gotta be kidding me trotting this man around after the 8 years of hell we had. GHWB was elected only once for a reason. But please do this because Edwards and Obama will do better now, thank you.
I look forward to the next President Clinton. Frankly being "sick of" the leaders we have does not change the leaders we have.
Obama is so unqualified it defies all sanity to consider him for the White House. As for the GOP – I see none that can take the reigns in this dangerous time. Clinton is the only person running who makes a lick of sense. And – hey – after centuries of men – it's time for a woman.
Bill has lost his mind! Poor thing...Obama '08!!
What kind of jerk plays a father off against his son?
The only solution to this dynasty is the 6 million dollar man,
Danny Diaz, in 2009 you will be out of a job. The American people do not need another Republican president. You already did enough damage, we no longer wish to live in fear while our tax dollars go to feed your friends at businesses like Halliburton and Blackwater. Your war is coming to an end, your control of the American people by fear will end in 2009 with any one of the Democrats taking the lead in undoing your damage....just as Clinton describes. Wake up, because we the people are taking our country back!
I'm sure the surviving people of RWANDA and SOMALIA will welcome President & Mrs. Offshore, with extremely open minds. I also have some waterfront property in NOLA you might like, if you think the Midnight Cowprod IS up to anything of actual value, beyond whitewashing his limp narcissistic legacy. Oh well. BILLARY HAPPENS.
Dude – this is wrong on SOOO many different levels. Open mouth and insert foot. She really needs him to stop speaking – now. Many posters have claimed that he wants her to loose and I can't say I disagree. If he cheats on her while she is in the White House, he is in more trouble than any guy in history. It looks more and more like the Bush / Clinton dynasty is finally over - to the benifit of We the People.

We are talking 35 years here if Hillary makes it thru 2012.....
In what lifetime does this former disgraced president think he can restore our image? Isn't he still trying to rehabilitate his own tarnished image? President Bush's father is showing statesmanship by extending the courtesy to Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton should not assume it will be extended to his wife particularly when she calls the president a liar and someone who misled the country. Mrs. Clinton won't win this election anyway, so Bill Clinton can fantasize all he wants. It's not going to happen.
"...America is open for business and cooperation again"
Translation: "Please like us, please, please, please! We will be appeasers! We'll give you hundreds of millions of dollars and look the other way when you undermine our country if you will just be our friends!"
Absolutely pathetic!
Any Democrat in the WH will open us up for terrorist attack, and weaken our sovranty!
Proof that Billy lives in some other reality where the meaning of "is" in negotiable.
America does not need any former Presidents kowtowing to tin-pot dictators (sorry Jimmy, come home).
Vote for Obama as the others have stated, this videos illustrates.
No more Clintons or Bushes in the White House
Begone with all of you's. You've done enough damage already fer cryin' out loud. Just go away-so we don't have to see you or hear you anymore!
What an odd suggestion. Geo HW Bush working with a HRC presidency from the inception ? What will the DLC led democrats have to give in exchange? Triangulation at work here or just an effort to look bipartisan ?
I am reminded of the late, great, Molly Ivins' comment in 12/06 –
"I's like to make it clear to the people who run the Democatic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president."
"Enough. Enough Triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling. Enough not offending anyone."
I agree with Molly. It's time to support a democrat who is free from such "clever straddling".
Edwards 08
I never understood why people think Bill Clinton is some kind of political genius. He is very easy to read. He and Hillary are visibly dishonest people. People who support them must not have any street smarts.
So, this is Hillary's secret weapon in foreign diplomacy? I can't wait until Obama gets a chance to comment on this one.
Hillary, I have some advice for you. Send your hubby on some kind of mission to Africa or Bangladesh or where ever they need help for the next year. Have him do colorful photo ops with smiling faces and raise money for good causes.
And, if you can, find a way to shut him up. In case you haven't noticed, he's become your worst enemy.
NO WAY! Enough of the bushes ~ all of them. The old man isn't much better than dubya. Skull & Bones and head of CIA and that's good? I had about decided I wouldn't vote for Hillary but now I pledge NOT to vote for her. I don't care if the democrats don't win if this is the best she can come up with. What crap.
Obama? Please, his mentor is 'bipartisan' Joe Lieberman, one of the worst politicians in Congress. If that's the kind of 'leadership' Obama intends to emulate I'll pass.
Why would the first President Bush help the lying and corrupt Clintons?
Hillary is toast. She can't improve her already darkened image. She can't be elected and what kind of scandals of the day can we expect from her? More FBI files found? More firing of career employees who get in her way to help her financial supporters? More furniture stolen?
She is bad for America!
Haven't we had enough of the clintons & bushes?
And you women that plan on voting for hillary... There are 150,000,000 women in the USA. Is she the best you can do???
She screwed up the interview with MSNBC David Gregory. This is the fall of the first domino. NO wonder she is crying..she knows the end is near.
I see Bill saying this and I wonder: would he serve if President Obama asked him? Would he be willing to travel to foreign countries with HW under an Obama Administration? I would love for someone to ask him that and watch him squirm and weasel out of answering, just as his wife would do.
Well of course, since Hillary is a Republican that's no suprise.
If a Latin American country were run by the same two families for (possibly)TWENTY-EIGHT years America would invade in orr to "liberate" them!
EDWARDS '08
It looks like Slick Willie is drinking his own kool aid!
If the Presidents father is going to stab his son in the back like this he should be so ashamed of himself. I can't believe this is true, but if it is all it means is H.W. Bush has sold out to the Clintons and the left and we should be VERY afraid. George W has kept this country from being attacked again for almost 8 years,What is wrong with Bush senior? or is he just to old now, and Clinton is just to sick, these old guys should just shut up and play golf, (they don't even do THAT well. )
Lorraine Maust
I for one am sick and tired of all the Clinton bashing. It goes on, and on, and on. Give it up, people. Deal with the issues that confront the nation and who offers the best solutions. Stop personally defaming and demonizing those with whom you disagree politically.
If two former presidents can be drafted to help this country move forward, that's fine with me. More power to them.
And to CNN and other media – grow up. Stop fixating on haircuts and cleavage and how candidates laugh, or clap, or sigh. Examine and explain their proposals and policies, and how they would affect voters interests, if implemented.
Are there no adult journalists out there?
Uh... CensoredByCNN,
Where in the U.S. constitution does it say it is the President's jobs to take care of people after a bad storm ?
What it DOES say, is anything not covered by the document is automatically a STATE'S responsibility...
Does President Clinton also plan to include/expand his "new" Diplomatic Club to include George W. Bush? What a shock it would be to have President George W Bush endorse Mrs. Clinton!
Looks like one of the requirements for being a spokesman for the Republicans is to be able to spout nonesense with a straight face and to live in an eternal state of denial.
The sad fact is it's going to take years if not generations to repair the damage done by the most arrogant, incompetent, and criminal presidency in modern U.S. history. Clinton and Bush traveling together might be a small step but I wonder if ANYONE with the Bush name will be welcome in the world.
Wow! This has officially confirmed all my suspicions. The two political parties are one in the same. They are simply playing the people for fools. The political profession for them, is about the same as a pyramid scheme. It's almost like calling a psychic hotline. You pay them money to have them say what you want to hear through campaign contributions and support, but in all actuality they dont care one bit about what is important to Americans.
Lets not have America represented any longer by such horrible people. I say vote for ANYONE besides Hillary,Huckabee,Obama,Romney. Avoid these BIG NAME politicans. We need someone who is more like a normal person, and not a professional liar.
Watching the Iowa meltdown of Hilary is more fun than Howdy Doody Time was in the 50's... Do they actually think telling us that a Bush will fix things if Hilary gets in will make us want to vote for her? Sometimes when you become desparate and panicky you become irrational. Billy's statement exhibits just how delusional the Hilary campaign has become.
classic woman thing to say (marvene Bowles). This conversation is not even about "hurting females". Thats why all men should be opposed to women in office because it will be another power trip to show men that women are what??? Men too? Please... stop the victim mentality. Yes, women are the crown of God's creation, but still the weaker vessel. Get over it and learn to trust and not become bitter and independant
GHWB has of last week stated that he would "NEVER VOTE" for Hillary. "Bill Cliton" a gift that keeps on giving. It's great for Xmas for all the poor kids.
This guy needs to go away.......
The complete arroghance and nerve to make a comment like that....it's almost as bad as Hillary's entitlement to the Whitehouse because it's her turn. I really think I'm going to vomit....
I'm a Republican, don't know who I'm going to support, but atleast Obama isn't a robot with poll tested ideas and a sense of entitlement.
The Clinton's aren't public servants, they only exist to serve themselves and their grandiose self images. Their marriage is a fraud, Bill is a pathological liar and manipulator and so is his wife. How people like that haven't turned on one another yet is what amazes me.....
It is apparent that Bill and Hillary are running out of straws and will say or do anything to further their interests (What else is new?). But to unilaterally invoke the participation of the senior George Bush to "repair the damage" done by his son, G.W. Bush, is grandstanding and utter nonsense. Comments like this are another glaring example of why no Clinton need occupy the White House ever again.
What a lame comment from the RNC. Besides the obvious (that the president in 2009 is NOT going to be a Republican), why is it that these knuckleheads seem to think that "keeping our nation safe" and "cooperating with the rest of the world" are mutually exclusive?
They're not. Quite the opposite, in fact: the only way to keep our country safe is to adopt a foreign policy which unites the world, as opposed to George Bush's policies, which have had the effect of uniting the world against us. I appears that only the Democrats understand this simple fact.
As for the story itself, I don't think that George, Sr. is the right man to try to mitigate his son's failed legacy. It is a great bit of politics for Bill Clinton to name-drop him, though. Junior is going to be enraged when he hears about this. It's like the story of Oedipus, only in reverse.
Bilary is the antichrist and her stupidity will doom this country forever. She wants to turn the govt not into for the people by the people but for Bilary and by Bilary. Anyone who votes for this witch must have some kind of mother complex. We need a warrior to run our armed forces not a two faced, lying, back stabbing boob like Bilary.
Did he say Hillary (heaven for bid) would send Bush and Clinton to go around the world and repair our image or give back control to the 3rd world arabs?
Marvine, I hope your not connected to Hillary network. She has had enough to feel sorry for. Do you feel the "fill of BIll"? Osama, er..Obama all the way!
Er, I meant Hillary.
A vote for Hillary is a vote for the establishment. This statement from Bill proves it.
Did Hillary advise Bill to be passive after all the terror attacks on their watch including the 93 WTC that led to the 9-11 atacks? or to save Bin laden's life when Sudan was offering him in a silver platter?
THERE YOU GO GO .................
I ALWAYS SUSPECTED THAT BUSH AND CLINTONS HAD A PLAN TO MAKE THE WHITE HOUSE, FAMILY BUSINESS.
MY GOODNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please! For the sake of our nation, "JUST SAY NO!" to both Hillary and her side kick Billary. The nation took a serious morality hit the last time these 2 were around. I really don't understand how anyone, regardless of political affiliation, could think another round of Clintonistas could pull this sinking ship from disaster. The back biting and in fighting to serve "us" is getting old. I can't say whom should be president, but I know who SHOULDN'T be the next president. God help this country if Hillary wins. We are doomed!
"Clinton is a pathological liar."...Those are not my words, but the words of a sitting DEMOCRAT Senator when Clinton was in the White House, Bob Kerrey. Bubba recently said he was initially against invading Iraq, when a check of his speeches proved otherwise. He, and his pantsuit wearing insignificant other, lie at the drop of a hat, so why believe this proclamation? Do not vote for "Elephant ankles, thunder thighs" Hillary.
"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."
Wow, what a nonsense statement. Republicans in the last 7 years have done more to harm our reputation abroad than any administration in (American) history.
Former President Bush could use his influence better by dropping his tainted relationship with Bill Clinton. Millions at home think Clinton is an ego-driver politician who uses every opportunity to boost his own tarnished legacy. We shouldn't be a part of helping him do so.
Bill Clinton is already running things for the wife. How arrogant of him. I'm not sure this article is correct. If it is, it's shameful.
ANYBODY BUT THE CLINTON CARTEL.
What worries me is the idea that two former presidents intend to tell the world "America is open for business and cooperation again." What does that mean? Folks, it means more NAFTAesque treaties, open borders, more jobs moved overseas, more banks for sale. Watch out. I feel like Clinton is selling my soul as an American. Personally, I don't care what anyone else thinks. We have to do what's right for our country first, not bend over backwards to the rest of the world until there is nothing left of and for US.
With a bit of patience, you will see the other countries coming around to the USA. Libya did. France now realizes that its welfare state is doomed and that it cannot accommodate an immigrant population. Denmark is not far behind. Holland may be beyond the point of return. Bill Clinton's "blind eye" foreign policy was a major enabler of the 9/11 attacks.
Not a Clinton for 2012, it will be another Bush....Jeb Bush.
Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.
Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.
Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.
Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of COL. E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.
Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) regisrant who has failed to report...remain liable for induction.
Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!
Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.
Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a
fugitive from justice.
Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.
Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States.
All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.
military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC. who are now dead would be alive today.
THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8
Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.
oh nice... Bill's already cozy with Bush (former CIA, war-mongering, oil stealing, war profiteer), and now he assures us that Hillary will be, too? It is time to stop this maddness. What will it take for Americans to wake up to this catastrphe in the making–another 9/11? Bush/cheney had no problem pulling it off. You think bush/clinton will have trouble doing another one?
No thanks,McCain,Gingrich for the ultimate ticket!
Obama's not ready
Edwards is a former malpractice attorney, and I'm a physician
So out of the top tier of cnadidates, Hillary is the only one I can support. Maybe it would be best to have someone other than a Bush or Clinton
but that's not how it worked out this time. I really do think she'll do a fine job as president. She is certainly a better choice than having another republican!!! I would really encourage people to set aside previous biases and give her another look. She is the candidate most ready to lead this nation.
Gee, if this is true, old H.W. must be a sorehead that he couldn't get elected twice, and also be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome from spending too much time with Bubba.
Besides, it won't work – BDS takes over, no matter WHICH 'B' you substitute.
Bill is throwing as much s**t against the wall, hoping some will stick.
The Clinton camp is horrified that their "Inevitability Aura" has been exposed for the fantasy that it was.
Obama will be the nominee, and fall into the same category as Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, Et al.
I think it's great when Billy Jeff opens his cigar stained mouth in public.
THIS IS INSANE!!! MR. DRUDGE FAILED ON THIS ONE. NOTHING IS MORE IMPOSSIBLE THAN OUR PRESIDENT'S FATHER TRAVELLING WITH CLINTON IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD COME ACROSS AS REPAIRING PRES. BUSH'S ACTS.
BEYOND INSANE- THIS MUST BE A HUMOROUS SIDE OF MR DRUDGE THAT HASNT BEEN SEEN BEFORE!! PHIL, LA
Obama's talk of HOPE sounds like he would wait for the tooth fairy to come along and do things for him. Obama's short history in politics show he is all talk no action. We need someone who will work for Hope and Change like Hillary Clinton.
an unending nightmare of jew supplicants in ZOG the deteriorating 'kwa.
We must be really duped into believing that these two families are not in co-hoots to control the world. Come on folks this is a monarchy of 2 families. How can this be anywhere near democracy? Why not try: Kucinich/Paul or Paul/Kucinich in 2008? At least these two have our best interest in mind. If you want to change America, change it from the top!
Hey Folks, Remember Bill Clinton is LIAR.
Why on earth would anyone believe anything the
Disgraced
Impeached
Dibarred
Adulterous
Full time politician says???
Another lie from the Clinton's.
First Colin Powell then George H.W. Bush, it's looks like to me they are saying that the democracts can not be trusted with foreign policy, which is the God honest truth.
I can't stand either Clinton they are absolutely pathetic and nauseating!
For what? Can't these guys just go home...
Bill,
GO AWAY.
I don't blame Hillary for sending the lying SOB out of the country under the BS notion that he's doing something good!
Does anyone else find it funny that the former impeached president doesn't consider the safety and protection of our country isn't the "number one priority"?
It sounds like a great idea. Our country needs anyone who can help with damage control. Stop bashing Hillary. We all know she is the best choice. I am not tired of the Clintons. Bush I doesn't bother me – its Bush II that I totally dislike. Once again it doesn't matter how many times they have been elected it's who is the right candidate. Hillary is that candidate. The DesMoines Register couldn't have said it better. So again say what you will she is the one. Clinton 08. And, I will be honest it doesn't hurt that her husband is Bill Clinton. Cuz I don't care if he couldn't keep his zipper up (like most men do?) this man I admire and respect.
So, if Mrs Cliton doesn't win, does that mean the ex-Presidents won't work with anyone else to help re-build America's reputation?
I think this statement says more about Bill than it does about his wife...and as usual, nothing good.
This guy is unbelievable – I am fed up with the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton Dynasty – THEY DO NOT REPRESENT AMERICA – stop them now... anyone but B and H...
This is exactly what we don't need. When Hillary looses the Clinton's will be gone.
Why does CNN and most other cable networks, put so much negative attention on the front runner? It is as if the new media wants to see the races tighten in hopes that the tightened races bring in greater viewership / ratings.
Oh wait, that IS what CNN and the major cable networks do (MSNBC largely excluded).
This is a fine article about what BILL CLINTON said. It referenced Bush Sr - not the RNC. So, no quote from Bush Sr., duly noted. A reply from RNC - WHY? Clinton did not say Hillary would get the RNC out on the raod to repair the damage of Dumbya's presidency.
The important point here is Hillary's plan to repair, albeit inpart, America's shattered image over seas.
I like the basic idea and think most people in America feel it is required afetr 8 disasterous years of Dumbya.
That is the point - not what the RNC says in response to it. Hillary is running for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S NOMINATION right now.
CNN used to do better. Not anymore (but what can we expect with you just hiring talking heads - Anderson Cooper "Watch out that's a piece of flying tin"! and the rest!
Problem: Hillary want be president. The Clintons are traitors to the US. The Chinese and Arabs have the Clintons bought and paid for. Bushes want to promote the new world order.
All of our politians have sold the american people out for the all mighty dollar.
The people should not be afraid of the gov't; the gov't should be afraid of the people. Lets take our country back before it's to late!
It is a "royal" family affair.
Nobody has anything against a woman running the country. Just not THAT woman (Hillary). Do I even have to go into why?
Yea, the Clinton White House will once again be "Open for Business" nuclear secrets to china, pardons, overnights in the Lincoln bedroom, ect, ect
Note to Marvene:
Tuned to CNN all day...disappointed by Hillary critics, will tune to MSNBC...
Ignorance is truly the most expenseve commodity this country has.
Right. This is the same guy who said, "I did not have sex with that woman."
B. Clinton is a goof, has always been a goof and always will be a goof... who says stupid things like this latest stupid, goofy thing he's said.
Remember, when you vote for Hillary, you get Bill, too.
"I leave our tv tuned to cnn all day. If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice. Why do ALL you select her as your choice to hurt."
Probably because they see her as a Stalinist that will complete destroy this country and the principles it's founded upon.
I don't know why Bill Clinton thinks he's important, when he was a drag on Gore and is a drag on his wife. I guess that should be expected from a man who originally won the office with around 43% of the vote (thanks Ross Perot...).
Bill can blab all he wants, it doesn't matter, Hilary will be lucky to get the nomination, and even if she does, she's going to lose, just as Obama or Edwards will lose. All 3 top tier democrats are complete political lightweights compared to the Republican they'll face. They have no experience as leaders.
Another big whopper! He even says them under oath.
Clinton (Bill) must have started inhaling.
Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08
We can only hope for a ticket like either of these...for a great Republican win!
IF A CLINTON LIPS ARE MOVING THEY ARE LYING
Oh good grief.
The first thing the new president should do is declare that they lead a co-equal branch of government and send a bill down that takes the legal standing of all signing statements to ZERO.
Then maybe we can work on important issues like getting Dick Cheney to go around the world apologizing on the behalf of anyone who's ever shot somebody in the face.
Carry on.
-Wexler
More and more, Bill may be becoming more of a liability to the campaign than an asset. Now Hillary is 're-packaging' her image .. again.
This is just becoming so pathetically like desperately reaching for anything..ANYTHING..to hold on to power.
Unfortunately, more and more it just underscores how very much we need a total change to something real. Say goodnight, Bill. Go home, Hillary. Please.
Elect Ron Paul and you won't have to worry about all this tripe!
No more Clintons are needed to ruin our nation!
Thanks but no thanks. America's reputation is just fine. Why else would millions of people sneak in every year instead of the reverse.
BJ Bill is just looking for a legacy that is not sex related.
Bushes and Clintons, joined at the hip.
We don't need Bush Sr. and WE DON'T NEED HILLARY (OR BILL).
Bill will do or say ANYTHING to get back in the White House.
America, let's move on. Bill and Hillary have been living off your tax dollars long enough. They are just freeloaders with the ONLY THING ON THEIR MIND IS THAT POWER. They CARE NOTHING ABOUT YOU.
They need to GO AWAY.
How many times does Bill Clinton need to remind us all that he is nothing but trailer trash? No class whatsoever.
All we need is a Bill Clinton, who had a part in destroying the reputation of America's greatest office by his personal indiscretions going around the world to try to repair America's Reputation. Let's see now, wasn't Bill Clinton, impeached, or perhaps my memory is fading? An impeached President, hanging out with the Father of another President that should be impeached; hanging out to try to repair America's Reputation. Even I can figure out that proposal to America's electorate, is really asinine. Hillary have you totally lost your political mind??? DUHHHHHH
Hillary for 8, then maybe Jeb for 8..and then Chelsea would be how old?
We are in serious trouble! GW made an eerie statement alluding that "Hillary will be the next Pres".
I truly believe that GW may know something that the rest of us don't – Remember he said the same thing about himself and regardless of the actual votes – he made it to the Whitehouse.
Wake Up People! NO, NO, NO to Hillary!
I am a woman and I could care less about the gender, Character is what counts!
All of these Bushes and Clintoons are just too far right. When will we realize that nothing will be right until everyone gets the same amount of pay and all food is rationed evenly and equitably by our beloved party, I mean Gummint. When everyone with the ablility to do so contributes so that everyone in need has all they need, we will be a prosperous Peoples Republic.
Bush senior is the one who used the phrase "NEW WORLD ORDER". (Just like Hitler, whom his father bankrolled).He is part of the elite globalist society who want global government, no borders, a North American Union, and the UN to run the US. It's coming, folks. I used to think that nothing could be as far from the Clintons ideologically than the Bush family. Now it is clear that they are all in league together for power, it's just scary. Get rid of these criminals and vote for Ron Paul to return our sovereignty before these bums finish destroying America. Oh, look, this is by CNN...they won't print this.
I keep asking myself..can America be so stupid as to put these people back in the White House?? He is a narcissist and she is a scripted, conniving fake. Are we out of our collective minds?? I mean it freaks me out that she has gotten this far...but I absolutely blame the media...for years they have been shoving this down our throats!! Please America anyone but THEM...just imagine the internal power struggle between these two arrogant self-important bullies. The whole thing is SICKENING. I feel like I am living in the twilight zone! And Marvene it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman so take your blinders off! It has eveything to do with her being completely unqualified and a REALLY SCRAY person.
Ialways suspected that there was some kind of arrangement to maintain BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON as the face of America.
This is an outrage!
The 90s are over. No one's buying it.
Paul Vincent Zecchino
Manasota Key, Florida
18 December, 2007
Wow! Thats all we need in the White House is a President named Clinton that will again go to the rest of the world and say "Hi, its the Clintons again, and we're glad that America is back into the business of being the World's Doormat. And I can assure you we will make this Socialism thing work this time. You can count on us. Just contribute generously to our libraries when were finished."
i knew this was going to happen some months ago. that the bush's would be helping mrs. clinton into office. they are from the same club. they're into the one world government plan. if this doesn't scare you, you need to get your elevator fixed cause its not going all the way to the top
CensoredByCNN, you are a complete fool. such ignorance. no wonder you are reading CNN.
No more Bushes and no more Clintons.
No more northern educated elitist.
So The Impeached One, a common criminal who ought to be pounding stones in Leavenworth with his wife, thinks he can repair our image throught the world?
This time he must have inhaled what he smokes.
Clinton News Network. Will this guy ever stop? This is a preposterous comment by a narcissitic aging hippie. Good grief, can we stand more of this...ugh.
Vote Laura Bush in 2016!
No, I'm NOT serious. Get these people out of power, the lot of them!
Obama's "negative background" is a fabrication of the political machine that is CLINTON/BUSH...just think....we can have more govt run by alliances with the Saudi Royal family with George SR by Bill's side. Don't any of you wonder about this?
Bill Clinton is such a liar. What damage around the world? A great economy and no 911 type attacks? He got into office lying about the economy in 1991 and he is doing it again.
What Bill is saying is that "Heck, we (the Clintons) will promise you anything to get another whack at the White House! Sure, the federal government will be "open for business" again. Hey China, time to collect the dividends for all the cash you have given us!"
Thank God we have someone with a little courage to stand up to the sleazy French, Russians, etc...However, George isn't perfect and we really need a much more CONSERVATIVE President this time around!
Oh, that's just what we need, those two boobs running around... We need a president... not surrogates... And poor surrogates at that. Bush, like his son, is a loser. Bill is a cheater. What more needs to be said? D.
What an insult to all of us as Americans, that it is insinuated that out of a Country of 300 million people, we NEED only 2 families and bloodlines to run our country. NO MORE BUSH, NO MORE CLINTON.
No No NO! This is insanity!
These are the WORST TWO PRESIDENTS in HISTORY!!!
Its Like Hitler teaming up with Stalin!!
Oh My GOD
Our country needs a fresh face in the WH. One too many Bushes already and a possible repeat with the Clintons. Are we so talent strapped that we have to keep sending the same worn out policies to Washington. Let's try some other flavor.
Wow! That's an interesting report. What does W think of this? Have he and his father had a falling out? It sounds like a good thing.
Curious in Austin.
The Clintons want the world to know that when they're back in power, America will be "open for business and cooperation again". No wonder the world loves this guy. Got a serious problem with the USA? No sweat. Bill's "open for business" wink, nudge. Just ask the Chinese. I hope GHWB stiff arms this clown publicly.
What exactly are we supposed to be voting for in this election?
Has the campaign become "who is more republican?" Leiberman endorses John McCain and Bill Clinton claims his wife will be aided by the father of the existing president.
Sorry, the "old guard" of the Democratic party has sold out their base. Time to go Obama.
Bubba must have just INHALED.....
what a crock.....
If you're gonna call them at least spell it right, otherwise your risk having the same label applied to you.
We talk about unity, like it's a good thing, right? They why isn't this a good thing? Is everyone really that cynical?
Just to put things in perspective:
1) 9/11 occurred because Clinton had
Bin Laden -let him go!
2) 9/11 cost the economy $1 trillion.
3) President Bush inherited a recession
4) President Bush inherited corporate scandals
5) President Bush had two hurricane seasons cost economy over $1 trillion.
In spite of that:
1) Unemployment the lowest
2) GDP growth the greatest
3) DJIA over 13,400
4) More money in circulation than at any time
5) 50 million people freed in Iraq/Afgahanstan
6) Lybia no longer terrorist state
7) Military rebuilt after being cut in 6 years by Clinton
8) All of this in spite of the fact the mainstream media
has done nothing but report only the bad news and instead of reporting once, continues to pound taking good news and making it bad.
Proof that happened?
http://www.mediachannel.org/views/dissector/affalert153.shtml
Ladies and Gentlemen, the elites are preparing the "hand off" right before your eyes. Is this what we have come to? Dynastic succession? There is only one man worthy of the position by sacrifice and experience. His name is John McCain. If Hillary is elected, we shall become Mexico North. Bush Sr. and Bill obviously admire the Caudillo form of government. Democracy is so...messy! How much easier it is to simply...rule! Wake up people! You elect Hillary, you do not elect a President of a Republic, you elect a Queen and she shall be anything but a benevolent monarch.
I see that the RNC takes the high road and essentially lets clinton know that, as usual, he is the consummate low life politician: Self first then all else.
Why don't these ex-Presidents just retire (Bill), play golf (George H.), and shut up (Jimmy) like they used to do?
CNN stands for Clinton News Network- all Clinton all the time.
What a bunch of crap from a a convictod felon. This man just needs to go away.
No one should vote their gender or race! It's issues. I will vote for anyone that will enforce our borders and immigration laws and stop sending our jobs overseas!
No more Parties for me...it's issues!
So now we're electing two ex-Presidents by voting Hillary? Why can't she carry her own weight for once?
Jesse from MN:
So if I read your comments correctly, i.e., that you don't like candidates that are "Pro-War and Pro-Corporation", we should stop fighting our enemies and shut down corporations. Please explain what the country would turn out to be like then? I'm guessing you'll be riding your goat to your family owned business with your wife walking 10 paces behind you in a head scarf, no?
Throw them all out and lets start over again! Im sick to death of all these political dirt bags! We need new blood from outside the Washington loop!
Bill should not speak for George Sr. Hillary is a very BAD choice if you are serious about the future of America. America is best served by taking a strong stance against terrorists. I will elect the best person for this job and I am not hearing solutions from Hillary, Obama or Edwards. You will not get my vote unless you have a plan. Complaints about past mistakes are not a plan. We need to solve this issue before all other issues become relevant. Iran, N. Korea, Russia and China are all watching... waiting... and planning our end. Turning our backs on this fact is allot like leaving your doors unlocked at night in a crime filled neighborhood. All other issues can wait, this issue cannot!
leave our tv tuned to cnn all day. If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice. Why do ALL you select her as your choice to hurt. Are you opposed to females'in office????
***********************
Not at all...we are opposed to known liars ,cheats a smear masters being elected..NO HILLATY IN 2008.
We donot need another buy one get one corrupt administration.
Another example of what a liar Bill is – why would Bush Sr. do this?!
the power elite must really be laughing at the american people ..ha ha ha you stupid americans you get all three next time around..hillbilly and king george
This assumes that there is damage. Again no specifics from either Clinton. What is the specific damage and what specifically are you going to do to fix it. If you have not measurable action plan you just have noise.
Last time 'America was open for business Bill decide that China should be sold our ballistic missile technology. This minimally helped them jump ahead almost 20 years and their ally North Korea is firing off longer and longer range missiles. Coincidence? Why anyone keeps listening to Clinton’s fact d’ jour must mean they like to listen and read fiction. The good news is that if you do not like the fiction it will change more than one time in the future.
The fact is that the more we look to government in almost any area to help us, fix things, make things fair etc, they have and continue to do an abysmal job.
The Constitution requires the government to protect our boarders and run the courts. After that, everything else is optional. The candidate who can, not just promise to role back government, regardless of party, gets my vote.
Highly ironic. In light of the fact that W Bush has successfully dealt with the dire consequences of 8 years of Bill Clinton's ineffectual governance, Mrs. Clinton proves once again why she has become the Leona Helmsley of politics.
We dont need a Bush in the white house or G Sr or Gw
Why did we fight the American Revolution if we were going to pass power between families for over two decades??
Luke A. Bollerman
No more Bushes, No more Clintons.
Havent we been played by fools long enough by these two families?
Break the cycle of stupidity.
"Back to the Future"? Send Bill home as he's killing the campaign. George H.W. Bush will be out of office 20 years on January 21, 2009. Like the son or not, Bush senior had his moments, but enough. Bill's seeing stars or is he grasping at straws?
Both Clintons' holiday prayer"
"Oh help save us, George the Father, George the Son and Jeb the Holy Ghost".
Both Clintons are idiots. Trust me....we do NOT need another liberal in charge of anything. Just look at the fine job the Congress is doing. What a joke. Liberalism.....the last great bastion of ignorance!
Hillary 08!!!
The time is now and If we want to take the White House, She is our only Hope!!
Hillary 08!!
Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that will offer real change and a positive new direction for America. He is the only candidate that is NOT a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR is controlled by the Rockefeller family. Their international banking interests control our economy and all the political decisions that effect your every day life. Life in the USA does not have to be so hard!
The Clintons and Bush's are inbusiness together, and their monarchy is part of a long term agenda in place since Bush senior was director of the CIA back when Kennedy was assasinated...
Vote Ron Paul!
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/17/paul-pleasantly-surprised-at-record-fundraising-haul/
He is not 'radical' as some would have you believe, he is the only candidate that wants big government to let people live their lives in peace!
Hillary just lost my vote, now we know she's in bed with corporate corruption, unless Bill is deliberately trying to sabotage her campaign... who to vote for now? Obama, Kucinich, Dodd, Biden, Edwards...hard to choose, they're all good...I respect Pentagon Paper Gravel but he can't win...and I hope Ron Paul gets lots of votes on the other side.
Marvene, honey, I spend a great deal of time watching MSNBC everyday (love the combo of Chris Matthews, Dan Abrams, and Keith Oberman), and they aren't too kind to your sister Hil-dog either. Maybe you need to do a little investigating into a term you've been hearing on CNN a lot lately (and will be hearing on MSNBC as well): Politics of Destruction. Hillary is bad news when it comes to politics. I'll "Amen" the Edwards/Obama supporter from Minnesota.
*IF* Hillary is elected, she'll need all the clout she can pull together to rebuild this country's reputation.
I can see Bush-41 doing that. Even he must see that things are not looking good for the United States right now on the world stage. After all, he's not the stupid one, that's Dubya.
But for heaven's sake, Hillary...just don't send him to China. He'll puke all over somebody and start WWIII.
I hate to say this But will both the Clintons please just go away
Bill you are beginning to worry me
This is the best reason yet to vote for Barack Obama or John Edwards.
ME ME ME...It's All about ME Bill!!! The first thing Hillary WILL DO AS PRESIDENT is to use ME !!!! I bet GHWB doesn't even know about this.
ANYONE who thinks the country won't stay torn apart with Hillary in office is crazy. IS THAT WHAT WE NEED? She IS NOT GOING TO UNITE ANYTHING. And as far as this story goes, HE HAS TO BE PRESSED on it...where did it come from? ARE WE TO BELIEVE GHWB has agreed to go around the world to bad mouth his son? I think THIS IS ANOTHER CLINTON LIE!!!
republicans4obama
Another puff piece from Clinton News Network. Blah blah....
QUESTION TO PRESIDENT CLINTON "Hey Bill, why do many of your former foreign policy advisors back Obama over your wife?"
ANSWER: "Probably because they've been out of a job for so long that they've run out of unemployment - and Hillary wants all fresh new faces."
Bill just wants to go travel the world to get some foreign booty.
Gag me. The last thing we need is another Clinton in the White House. Bubba, get a clue. The only people we are more sick of than Bushes are CLINTONS!
Bill's over-inflated ego just won't let him stay out of the picture. Him shooting his mouth off all over the place makes him Hillary's biggest liability. Keep talking Bill!
God help us if we have a Clinton/Clinton presidency again!
The reason people don't like Hillary is that she's a COMMUNIST. If GHW Bush is willing to help her, that goes a long way toward supporting the contention that we've been snookered by a stealth liberal the past 8 years.
"In 2009, a Republican president will be working..."
HAHAHAHA. no, they won't! Thank your Dubya for that!
How can be have a "President Hilliary" based on the disrespect shown to our military by "their" administration?
are we doomed to forever have the groper-in-chief out there running his mouth and idiot reporters hanging on his every word?
let's send the clintons and bushes to mexico with the illegals.
Correction, this is why people are sick and tired of the Clintons!
He didn't start the charity for Katrina he started it for the Indonesian tsunami victims
What has Hillary accomplished as a Senator that shows she is capable of being president? I'm not a Hillary hater but I don't see how she is qualified for the position.
Did anyone ask W's dad if he wanted to go on a "my son sucked" tour? How arrogant are the Clinton-Rodhams? Methinks the answer is: "extremely."
Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clintom-Then its Jeb Bush's turn? We gotta stop this now people. If that socialist witch is elected next year. Hang on to you wallet and your freedom it will erode quickly.
Come on America, we are a culture that likes to recycle. Do we stay the course elect Hillary->Jeb->Chelsy->than Jenna? Take a look at this picture. Is there any change in pattern? Vote for change take a look at Obama, It was the Obama girl that made me take a look at him. Let this race come down to good honest people. Obama or the base guitar player huckee!
Thanks for the info Bill, Hilary just LOST MY VOTE! I agree someone needs to try to undo what this president has done to our nation and the world but to send another BUSH out there to speak and represent the United States of America on this issue is a big mistake in my opinion. Maybe she should send him to the broccoli farmers to try to erase that memory of that while she is at it! I dont think anyone can correct the damage this president has done to our reputation, its all part of our history now...so sad.
If Hillary is so wonderful for our country, why does she need help from Father Bush? Or help from Bill Clinton?
Open for business, eh. Well, I guess more secrets will be sold to China...
Keep it up Bill! Fantastic idea!
(what a maroon......sheeeesh)
It's a good thing that CNN doesn't even claim to be fair and balanced. The partisan bias is blatant: "to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush." That's the Democratic Party's view, not a neutral one.
I assume that H. Rodham is so delusional about her popularity that she is certain that W's father is willing to go on a "my son was horrible" tour. That delusion stems from a level of arrogance never before seen on this planet.
Exactly who do we need to repair our image with. The Muslim terrorists who are trying to kill us? They seem the only ones Democrats can be referring to when making this statement. Europe continues to elect leaders who closely reflect our own administrations views on many subjects {France, Germany}. If you want to see who is responsible for bad feeling abroad {if it exists at all and if it really matters} you should point fingers at the press and the President's critics who have assassinated the man's character day in and day out for six plus years. For what he was handed Bush is doing a good job, these are difficult times and they require difficult decisions. He is President of The United States, not ruler of the world. His responsibility is to the American people, they elected him and when given a choice re-elected him. When the rest of the world supposedly loved us under Clinton Muslim extremists flourished. 9/11 was plotted, The USS Cole was attacked, the first WTC attack took place, the bombing of embassies occurred. Under Bush this has not continued, that is a simple fact!
How about the Damage you and your wife has done to this great country BILL?????? Selling secrets to the Chinese?Letting Bin Laden get away? I could go on .....GW is protecting this country and to tell you the truth as long as my family and I am safe I could really care less what the world thinks of us.....
I'm stunned at the comment above fighting off anybody who attacks a Clinton for the reason that they're "anti-woman" for president. What a load of crap.
PLENTY of women don't want Hillary as their first representative in the Presidency because she plays dirty, carries the stench of former scandals with her, and has a panicking, out-of-control husband who is campaigning hysterically right now to get himself back in the White House as First Spouse.
Ever think what it would be like if ol' Bill kicked the bucket? I mean, look at him. His face is so red these days you have to question whether his blood pressure is sky high. What if he does croak and leave us with JUST HILLARY?
It makes my blood run cold, I'm telling ya.
This is typical Bill Clinton BS. Now he's speaking for Pres. Bush 41? I'm so sick & tired of both Clintons.
The audacity of the Clintons! It has taken 8 years to remind the world that a President is a leader and defender of freedom – not a serial sex offender.
Hey Marvene....why
The rest of the world will only like us Americans if we dismantle our military and destroy our economy. And Hellary has a plan for that.
I understand how all you people that really can't stand the site of Bush feel, I have the same feeling when I see a picture of this piece of white trash. Reputation? What did this idiot do to the reputation of the highest office in the nation? Turned it into a Motel 6. Bill Clinton NEVER got %50 of the popular vote, yet CNN acts as if he is the Messiah (and he may be in their eyes), he dragged the country through impeachment, lied to a federal jury, etc. I am frightened that we live in a time where such a person would not be shunned by the majority. CNN is really working hard for Hillary now because they fear she may not get the nomination and their collective little hearts would be broken. There is a reason for the ratings decline at the Clinton News Network...
What an idiot. Our terrorist problems grew to be a danger thanks to good ol' Bill's ignorance while posing as a president. As a member of the Armed Forces during his terms I know first hand what and inept idiot he was as our Commander in Chief. Anyone remember Somolia and his adminstrations refusal to provide even the basic resources needed to secure the safety of those of us on the ground there?? And the weakness he portrayed pulling us out some fast after one messy mission. Most folks call that fight a failure but in terms of kill ratio it was probably the most one sided fight the U.S. Military has ever been in. Heck, the objective was pulled off but the lack of armored vehicles set the negative events in motion when problems started arising. Now who was the idiot that denied the Commander on the ground armored vehicles...
RE: Marvene
You said, "If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice"
Now you know how Republicans feel. Except it's been happening to us since 1973!
The only way the rest of the world will like us Americans is if we dismantle our military and destroy our economy. And Hellary is just the gal for that job.
Any image problem America may have undoubtedly springs from the preposterous crap spouted by Bill Clinton, a former president, for whom the meaning of "is" is a riddle wrapped in an enigma cloaked in a mystery. First, Bill Clinton shows no class when he trash talks the current president. You didn't see the elder Bush publicly undermining Clinton when he was making a mess of his presidency. Second, what kind of white trash talking is that when Clinton claims Bush's own father will take Bill's side against his own son.
These Clintons are awful people who disgrace America with their low personal character and endless personal promotion and partisanship at the expense of the country. Send them on a lecture tour, let them make their millions, but don't let them get their hands on the wheel again.
Liberating 50 million people from tyranny and we need to "fix" our image because of a bunch of America hating self loathing liberals? I don't think so...
In response to Marvene Bowles of Florence, AL, it is not about Hillary being a woman that causes the feelings about her. It's about Hillary being Hillary. If she were a Margaret Thatcher many would have no problem, but she's a no-experience, dishonest, and poll-driven person that we should be wary of. And as for TB of FL commenting on "buffoons" (notice that it's spelled correctly this time?) please check your spelling so your comments will be taken seriously.
Hilliary just wants to keep Bill away from the interns!!
And Mitt Romney is the answer!
I'd love to have a woman for president, but what does that have to do with Hillary?
And what about term limits? She's already had two terms in charge.
Bush, Clinton, let's move on down the alphabet a little. It's time for a change.
If you really want a democrat that bad, vote for McCain or Guiliani.
the Clintons are confirming she is dropping like a rock and that comment is a great way to start todays "Likeability Tour"
Bill Clinton is a preverted joke and does not represent the America I know..
Go ahead Marvene. Switch to MSNBC. You'll get the same left slanted garbage. But if it feels good I guess its ok... Just like supporting a candidate because she's a woman. Never mind all the corruption associated with the Clinton Regime or the barrage of lies spewing out her mouth. She's a victim of her own follies. Period.
"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."
Sounds like "STAY THE COURSE!" -if that's what you want, vote Republican.
Mrs Bowles,
Most of us aren't against a woman in the Presidency, just this one.
I don't think that it really matters who the next president is, but it would be smart for the next president to follow on Bill Clinton's statement. The current administration has fouled our reputation around the world in many ways that I am sure that most Americans know.
To presume that Hillary Clinton is going to win is good for Bill Clinton to say since that is his wife running for president. Do I think he correct in terms of Hillary winning the presidency? I can't say that right now because there is so much up in the air and so many candidates still out there.
Marvene Bowles of Florence, AL, no one is opposing females in office. Just THIS female!
Mr. Bill Clinton is a good talker...
The demographic winter in the US.
Aging workforce in the US.
geocities(dot)com/demographic_crash
Good information on the subject.
Welcome for a visit.
When Hilary was first called Bush-Lite I laughed it off.
But it is obvious she is one with the clan and is a Bush clone in everything but appearance and IQ levels.
We now have Bush senior climing aboard the Hilary train, adding to Bush W, Karl Rove and the rest of the neo-cons.
Yes Obama has more ex- Bill Clinton advisors in his camp.
Telling. Very telling.
Ironically – thats what President Giuliani or President Obama will do too....send Clinton away....both of them!
This is a royal succession at its finest.
And Marvene, this has nothing to do with Hillary being a woman. It has everything to do with her being a liar, a cheat, an accomplice to crimes committed that she will never be brought to justice for, and a power-mad individual.
All of these people are consumate pro-corporation, pro-globalization, anti-individual fascists. Why do you think all of these people want to subjugate the US to the UN? To make YOU easier to manage. To make your money, your labor and your life easier to control.
Mussolini said that Fascism really should have been called "Corporatism", because Fascism is merely the marriage between the State (that means government for some of you out there) and the Corporate interests. Look at what we have today, people.
Ron Paul 2008
Bill Clinton is the most honest, and honorable man in the world. Hillary is the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world. Chelsea is also the coolest young woman on earth.
How will Hillary be using her husband for advice if she sends him on a tour around the world? Seems to me that she is saying that she will do her best to distance herself from old Billy Boy, and as soon as possible after taking the White House. Isn't that a contradiction to some of her earlier ramblings. I am a Republican, and I liked Bill and still do for that matter. That being said, I just don't trust Hillary at all.
Why not the Republicans want her more than the Democrats. She is the Republicans pick because they think that they can beat her and if not it will be business as usual. Either way the big money interests and lobbist will have a great day.
Danny Diaz, we need a President who wants to keep us free. What we don't need is another President who thinks that keeping us safe means giving all of our pesky little rights away. People like you are just thrilled with the cowardice of Americans who want to exchange liberty for security. Sorry. I'm not one of them. Ron Paul in 2008.
We dont need a Bush in the White House!
Is this guy (Clinton) really this arrogant? He makes no bones about a times 2 clinton white house coming up does he.
If you think CNN is unfair to Hillary,you should tune in once to Hardball,he spends the majority of his program spewing hatefull remarks about Hillary1 As if she is Bill Clintons mother and responsible for his actions.So far Chris Mathews is the most sexist,mean spirited commentator on the air....I wonder how he would fell if we exposed his "drunk" years on national television,then blamed his wife Kathleen.As a woman I reszent the vitiol against Hillary ......and I am a Republican woman.
Did Bubba actually say that with a straight face? Are we really supposed to believe that George H.W. Bush will go on a worldwide tour to say, "Sorry my son was such a jerk, but we've got a real sweet lady in the White House now and America is 'open for business'"? It boggles the mind how gullible the Clintons think the American people are. They really will say anything to get elected.
To the Ca Native, this is no conspiracy theory. The Bushes and Clintons are FRIENDS. If you look at all the ties between the 2 families, you wonder where they really have any differences. In Barbara Bush's book she said they even vacation together. You all need to wake up if you think that a 'bad' guy took the office in 2000 from a 'good' guy. There is no difference.
Right. Bush and Clinton. What a team. Bush and Clinton make the mess, and then expect us to believe that Bush and Clinton will clean it up.
I am not sure I get this.
Does this mean that if someone other than Hillary is elected President, that Bill Clinton and Former President Bush would not step up to the plate and travel overseas to help repair America’s image overseas?
Sounds like blackmail to me or a spoiled kid who if he doesn't get his way will take his bat and ball and go home. Seems to me this Clinton campaign is getting to be more and more about them and not necessarily about what is good for the country.
Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo
I don't trust any of the Washington DC hooked-up crowd. We need someone that has never been in office in that snake pit of self serving elitists. No more of the same old, same old. All those in both parties (R & D) that are in the drive for power at this time just want the power. Vote them all out and start over. And what is B. Clinton thinking? The rest of the world may trust him, but I don’t know any Americans that do.
Hogwash! For three reasons. Chirac and Schroeder are gone. Their anti-American rhetoric is gone. Sarkozy and Merkel are both repairing the damage done by those two.
Second. Former president bush is not going to undermine his own son.
third. Whoever becomes president is not going to make major changes in foreign policy!
CNN, LOL
I'm not sure if Bill Clinton wants to remind people that we may have a Bush-CLinton-Bush-Clinton White House for the course of four decades.

I wish the Clintons no ill will, but they need to go away, just go away forever. I want their hands out of my pockets and their faces off everything.
Rugged individualism and free markets are what America is all about. They want the Nanny state. They would oversee the fall of the America.
Boy Clinton "thinks" that after the 2008 presidential election, George H.W. Bush will travel with Boy Clinton to suck up to every America hating terrorist group and every America hating, terrorist loving "leader" in the world? Someone may want to inform Boy Clinton that his "wife" won't even win the Democrat party nomination and that George H.W. Bush will not be traveling with Boy Clinton to suck up to every America hating kook on the planet.
absolutely repulsive. the new world order at work. papa George, please go softly into the night.
Well this takes the biscuit. This article just made my day. I cannot wait to see the justification of this. I am actually starting to feel a bit badly for how badly these clowns are doing. It is surely a spectacle.
With the Clintons, you can bet your sweet wallet that America will indeed be "open for business" again. Step right up! Get your missile secrets right here! Buy one, get one free!
Can we please have someone in the White House, P or VP, who is NOT named Bush or Clinton for the first time since 1980?
Please?
This is interesting to say the least. We have two former Presidents, who both at various times in our history where involved, one way or another in trafficking cocaine.
They are now uniting in a bipartisan effort to actually accomplish something productive without using their combined power and authority to profit off the illegal drug trade, manhandle female reporters, or get hum jobs from fat girls in the oval office. Now that my friends is real political progress.
That said, I believe that adequate caution should be taken to insure that these two very creative and cunning criminal minds do not use their persuasive talents to further erode the principles of liberty and freedom within this sovereign republic of America.
Great. When Bill was in office we had the first lady trying to single-handedly revamp our health care system behind closed doors. Now we learn that if elected, husband Bill wants to become de fact Sec of State and he's trying to get a few votes for HRC by dropping golf buddy George Sr's name without his knowledge or approval. How exactly is Bill's traveling around the world hitting on other people's wives going to help the US cause?
If we really do want change (it's sure needed) why don't we wise up and put a fresh mind in the White House in 08. Keep the Bushes and Clintons as far away from the front door as possible. Not because Hillary is a women - because she is the same old same old BS. On the other hand put her in the White House to get her out of NY. All she has offered as a Senator is a bunch of unfulfilled promises with little beneficial action for upstate New York.
More silly made up fodder from President Clinton. Seems like the more he fantasizes out loud, the steeper the hill(no pun intended) gets for Ms. Hillary. I say GOOD!
Further evidencethat the 2-party system is a load of crap
Maybe President Hillary could use George H to promote birth control. All he has to say is "I didn't use it, and look what happened." Other than that, we really don't need the old codger running around apologising for the last 8 years.
If this story is true, then GHW Bush the daddy could be considered a turn coat to his own son. Politics aside, I cant accept a father turning on his own son and agreeing with his enemies. Judas?
If Bush the elder had finished the job in Desert Storm we would not be back in Iraq now. If Clinton had done anything constructive for our security 9/11 would probably have been prevented. We need a president who will put the welfare of our republic first,but with 48 million abortions done in our country since 1973 I doubt we are going to escape judgement.
I don't think the way Pres. Clinton referred to "damage done by President GWB" will set well with the father. Its no doubt that the Senior Bush is a great Ambassador for this country. I am not one to think there is very much damage to repair. I have not seen this on the morning shows, but then they usually run a day behind Drudge.
Consider this. Bush has betrayed us.
He has:
1. Sold us out to the World Economy.
2. Allowed our means of production to be transfered primarily to China.
3. Takes the side of Mexico and other countries over us just for cheap labor. The citizens of Mexico are a Mexican problem NOT OURS.
4. REFUSED to fix Social Security
5. REFUSED to address Heath Care
6. Sounds like a moron and most likely is.
7. REFUSED to address our energy dependence.
Here is what will happen.
Once the American People realize they are screwed and there is no way to get back our former dominance and wreath they will go after everyone they can that means the far left and the far right. There will be no safety for anyone. The environmentalists who have blocked every energy production method will be held responsible. The free trade people who promoted the World Economy at the expense of the USA will be held accountable. And on and on it will go when the cross and flag rule.
There is nothing Clinton or Bush or any of others can do to stop what is happening to our county.
People you have screwed yourselves big time and you don't even know it.
The only people who think America's reputation is ruined are the Democrats. I travel the world. America is the least corrupt of all of them. You people who have never left the U.S. don't know too much about the rest of the world.
Go figure George Bush Sr. long time and powerful member of the CFR/UN and Bill Clinton another power broker in the CFR/UN ...
Actually I think Daddy & Mama Bush are seriously beginning to wonder about their little baby Shrub's true identity?
And this is good news to dems? Of course not. Why not Carter? He has proven to be a foreign policy stud! : )
Bill Clinton is a Republican, He passed all those Republicans trade deals the Republicans came up with!
Hillary is also a Republican!
Who is supprised that Bush and Clinton will travel together?
Birds of feather, travel together!
It is humorous to me when people will talk about how they hate G.W., but will end their comment with "Go Hillary" or something similar. If we have another Clinton in the white house it will be worse than G.W. and Clinton's years in office combined.
Marvene Bowles Florence, AL
Are you kidding me? Where were your complaints when ALL of the media was busy annointing Hillary our new queen for the last year?
NOTHING is being said about Hillary's travel-gate, staff suicides, cheating cover-ups, refusal to release her whitehouse correspondences.
She is getting a free pass from the media. But the republicans are just waiting for her to become the nominee. . .
Bill is so full of it it's ridiculous. We're supposed to believe George H.W. is eager to help "restore America's image" after his son leaves office? He's going to go on a big worldwide tour highlighting what a crappy president his son was? COme on!
I'm sick to death of two families running this country Bush/Clinton...
It's time for a change! Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who filters every decision he makes through the U.S. Constitution.
Everyone else just bows to those with money/power!
Ron Paul is America's last...best hope, if we ever want to take our country back from the special interest groups who have run this once great nation into the ground.
Zulu Cowboy
God have mercy on us all!!! We don't need anymore help from the Clinton's or the Bush's or any other truth challenged politicians. We need a man who has shown you can trust what he says, will get us out of foreign entanglements, out of killing the innocents around the world, and help restore true constitutional government, and only Dr. Ron Paul can do that. What other candidate has been given UNASKED for millions to run for president?
I thought the democrats were trying to get BUSH out of the White house, now you have Bill trying to keep him there. Even if it is the father, time for change!!!
The last thing we need is to continue the empire..don't let hitlery in there. give peace a chance...Ron Paul '08

This is the most profound statement on this forum! If the American People are unable to understand how UTTERLY HORRIBLE this is, perhaps it is time for our great country to become a distant memory.
Or maybe elder and younger Bush will decide to jump onto the partisan insult bandwagon with Bill and Jimmy, the only two other ex-presidents to ever have broken those unwritten rules of dignity as an ex-president..
this is why no one watches the clinton news network
Where has Mr. Clinton been the past couple years? France adn Germany have both elected pro-American leaders, Chavez had his referendum denied, the mid-east leaders are turning away from Iran and Syria. As much as Dems would like you to believe it, the world does not hate America, it's the LEFT that hates America.
Of course Bill wants to hit the road for his wife; that's where he does most of his sleeping around, apparently. Of course, he ought to check with George, Sr. first before making such an outlandish statement.
As for their involvement in Katrina, if the state of Louisiana had shown the least bit of the competance you see in California, Florida and Texas during times of disaster, their help would not have been required. Remember all those idle, waterlogged buses?
Ca Native, I wouldn't say GHWB has been "protective" of his son. It may seem that way, but rather, I think he's just respectful of the office of the president. Much more so than his successor. Notice how through 8 years, he hardly had a peep to say while WJC sullied the office. If only Bush pere's Democratic counterparts (WJC, JEC) would show the same deference for the Presidencey itself rather than attack personally the man who may currently be holding the office they seem to feel they're entitled to.
The Clintons need to answer a question: If America was loved so much while Bill Clinton was president, why did Islamic terrorists attack us numerous times and plan 9/11 on Clinton's watch?
Also, it doesn't appear that Europeans (not to mention the Russians and Chinese) were too pleased with Clinton's illegal war of choice in Kosovo.
http://www.commondreams.org/views/040900-106.htm
which is just another reason why this feminist Democrat is supporting Obama. Hillary is looking more Republican by the day, and yet she continues to sing the 'we need change' song. PLEASE.
I say we should have Romney on the R ticket and McCain on the D ticket.
That would be more realistic.
All this buzz about Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton is silly. Leaders sometimes come from the same families, look at our Presidential history:
2 Adams, John and John Quincy
2 Roosevelts, Teddy and Franklin
2 Bushs, George HW and George W.
3 Kennedys have ran, John, Robert and Teddy
and Cheney is Obama's cousin
Clinton relied on focus groups when it came to his position on issues, vacation destinations, etc. I wonder if he also focus groups his lies? There are plenty of Americans (mostly lunatic Democrats) who will actually believe Clinton's statement. So this may get Hillary some votes.
Creative? hardly...the Clintons are scraping pretty low to achieve credibility by association...what makes Bill think George The First is interested in denouncing his son?

Could Bill Clinton suggest anything LOWER or MORE HATEFUL .....than to include President Bush's Father in this OBVIOUSLY FALSE CLAIM and Statement? The Clintons are RUTHLESS AND HATE-FILLED, POWER-GRABBING Politicians who will stoop to any form of solicitation. To suggest that President Bush has done harm to this Nation through his behavior to Foreign Governments is so distasteful and untrue that is borders on insanity Bill is so afraid that she is going to lose, and she IS going to lose, that he will do and say anything.
Besides, there will NEVER BE A President Hillary Clinton.....Voters have already decided. Good Comment Response from the GOP!
Is anyone really surprised that Bill feels his wife’s no. 1 priority is to run to him for assistance?
What an arrogant buffoon. We need an impeached president repairing foreign relations just like we needed “deer in the headlights” Pelosi negotiating with Syria.

They keep trying to Marvene, but they can't find anything so they keep making stuff up. That's why Hill's numbers are dropping. People are turned off by the dirty tricks.
As for a woman in office, fine by me, if it's the right woman, which she ain't.
Rather than the Bush-Clinton strange bedfellows issue, I find three other issues more interesting:
1) That this announcement would come one day after Lieberman endorsed McCain. It looks as though the moderate/liberal Republicans and the moderate/conservative Democrats are lining up with the other party,
2) That the RNC didn't actively deny that George H.W. Bush had agreed to this sort of role, and
3) That the RNC didn't take the opportunity to express their confidence that a Republican would win the White House, not Hillary.
Strange days.
Another Bill Clinton gaffe. He just doesn't get it. Do the American people really want to see him flying around the world at the taxpayer's expense (again).
Wow I can hardly wait!
These people think we are stupid.
As much a I can't stand the Bush administration, ask yourselves who the terrorists fear more. By separating themselves from every Bush-related policy, these candidates are digging themselves a hole they won't be able to crawl out of later on. Where are the Independant candidates when we need them?
This is really a great idea. We've been run by a very small group of people since 2000 who are unwilling to tap the huge intellectual resources that we have in this country for ideological reasons. And looks what it's got us.
It would be a breath of fresh air for a new president (any of Hillary, Edwards, Obama, McCain, Paul) to tape the resources of our past world respected presidents of both parties (united together) to undue the damage of this small neo-con group led by GW.
I hope the next president $h1t-cans this ideological positioning that this current president has used to destroy this country and really be a uniter.
"..because the federal govt under G W Bush failed to do what was expected of the Govt to do in times of emergency."
Didn't we see the Louisanna National Guard roll into New Orleans 3 days after it flooded? Inspite of their own base being destroyed too?? You mindless dem sheep are so helpless.. Bring back survial of the fitest and let's put an end to this experiment in reverse darwinism that we call a progressive society..
Millions of middle class hard working Americans have lost their jobs to Mexico and Communist China , because of these two Republicans, now lets not reward them with a Hillary Presidency. She will force all Americans to buy high priced health insurance from her donors to her campaign.
She will also reward those illegals, coming across the boarder, to undermine the wages of the American middle class worker.
Don't be fooled again,
Hillary is a Republican!
TB, just to clarify it's buffoon, not buffon...I would give you the typo benefit of the doubt but you did it twice, and I see this thing has spellcheck. Just thought that if you're going to insult someone you should at least spell the insult correctly, otherwise you're left looking like a buffon!
The fact Bill Clinton is so involved in his wife's campaign is reason #1 not to elect her.
You had your 2 terms, and we have term limits for a reason.
Move on.
With friends like that, who needs enemies? The rest of the world will not be cozy with another Bush.
Let's change this long running nightmare.
Let's see, hmm, what word is about halfway between demigogue and sexual harraser? Oh, of course, "Narcism", or in Bubba's case, "NARCISM".
Bad move on Bills part to bring up Bush. Everyone hates George W Bush and his entire family now. The conntry is almost in a depression.
Im voting for Ron Paul!!
Or else I will be voting AGAINTS Hillary and her friend Daddy Poppy Bush.
They can patch things up with all the leaders that opposed Bush on Iraq. Oh wait! They've already been thrown out of office by their own citizens. Former President Bush is a sucker for thinking that Clinton wanted him for anything but political reasons.
Of course the Clinton News Network (CNN) will announce something like this without checking with Bush SR., Why is he even making plans for what he will do, she has not been annointed president yet.
come on people – it is not the job of the federal government to do anything other than what the constitution says. read it, or at least the 10th amendment. To review, it clarifies what is already in the constitution, that being; powers not granted to the United States (federal government) are reserved to the States or to the people. All the rhetoric amounts to is lazy people wanting a handout and feeling deserving of another entitlement. Can you say redistribution of wealth? Why would one ever aspire to do anything when the government is willing to take care of you – the more you depend on the government the more power they have. The more power they have allows them to grab more and you are all so willing to give up your freedom so someone can wipe your nose or butt.
it didn’t work out for eastern Europe and the communists so why do you think it will work here? Are you all that lazy or afraid.
This is another reason not to vote for Hillary. Aligning with Bush is just one more way to say to the American people that she is in with the same old group that has been running this country for decades. Can she be that dense as to send somebody with the Bush name out in the world to represent America?
To those of you who object to another Clinton because Bill Clinton also served failed to observe the big difference in Clinton and Bush I & II.
Hillary is a huge change from Bush II as was Bill Clinton a huge change from Bush I.
For example, what has happend to the Clinton surplus under Bush?
This story should be redacted and apologized for – it is entirely unfounded by factual evidence; I must ask, when did Pres. GHW Bush say that he will repair the damage done by his son? Or is this the biased opinion of the CNN South Carolina Producer? That answer is rather obvious – its says he was not available for comment... good reporting.
And you wonder why the FoxNews crowd calls CNN biased....
"Bill Clinton: George H.W. Bush will help President Hillary"
I'm not a hillary fan but that headline is greatly misleading... Bush Sr. is not helping Hillary... He is doing what all former presidents do and what he has done since he left office... Be an ambassador for this country. Your headline makes it seem as though Bush Sr. is campagning for her.
Just what we need...a womanizer and a dope...going around telling people we're their buddy. Hillary would just want to get rid of the pig, and Bush is a harmless old elf that didn't do much good in office and can't do much harm on the road. That "woman" will NEVER be elected!
There is no way that the elder President Bush would agree to this. It shows the arrogance of Bill Clinton to even suggest it. There is no possible way that Hillary will be elected. Fred 08.
George H.W. Bush needs to come out right away and repudiate this wild and untrue statement that Bill Clinton made
The Bush's have never learned the deadly game of political infighting that Bush1 learned firsthand from George Mitchell in 1991. Bush1 and or W needs to slap clinton down for this statement, publically – AND HARD
Both Clinton and Bush's senior have alot of foreign policy experience; it would help alot more than one with no experience in this area like Obama and Huckabee.
It should be pretty obvious to all Dems that Hillary is the one to nominate – Fox News has been rooting for Obama – what does that tell you?
Restore our reputaton in the world = we won't attack you if you attack us as we didn't when Slick Willy was president. Hitlery will lose BIG in '08 for the same reason CNN is a joke compared to Fox News, the majority of the American people remember 9/11 and don't buy bogus polls cleverly crafted to show massive anti-war sentiment when none exists. GO RUDY!!!!
I think Bill inhaled this time...
This is about as digusting as the Buhes can get if they even alude to helping the Dragon Lady. She won't be in the White House anyway except to have some tea and cookies with Mrs. McCain.
Marvene, could it be that folks are just against Hilary's politics and not against her because she's a female? Sheesh, grow up.
Barack Obama can do this on his own. He doesn't need their help.Of course,the White House Rose Garden may need pruning...and come to think of it,there might be a pair of pruners stored away somewhere...
Bill is losing it at his old age. Do we really thinking H.W. Bush is going to out to the world and admit that his son was a bad president? No way H.W. would throw his son under the bus like that.
No more Bush/Clinton!!!
OBAMA '08
Marlene in AL–
It's too late, MSNBC doesn't have Mrs. Clinton's back either. I daresay, with this latest announcement Bill made, that FOX will have to take up the ugly task of carrying Mrs. Clinton's water, so to speak.
I hope that happens, so that her supporters wake up before it's too late.
This is absurd!! I think Hillary and Bill are being a bit too presumptious thinking she's going to win. I wouldn't vote for her if she were a man AND sending Howdy Doody around the world to improve our image!!
What a shame. Going around fixing the wrong your kid has done. Hey... isn't that what this father has been doing his entire life?! The kid is 60. The father should have known better before financing his presidency. Too little, too late, dad.
This is a serious misstep by President Clinton and demonstates their shared concern about Senator Clinton's current standing.
Puleeze! This Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton stuff is enough to make us all ill! In a country of 300 million people, surely there are others better qualified who should sit in the White House!Neither of these families are anything to brag about. Enough Already! Anyone else, either Republican OR Democrat...but please no more of the Bushes and Clintons! We need a break!
"Does this seem right?:
1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH
2004=BUSH
2008=CLINTON
2012=CLINTON"
Yes, just get rid of all the "BUSH"'s and we probably would have been just fine!
I love the Bushes, but even I recognize that the US and the world has Clinton/Bush fatigue. You cannot have "CHANGE" with 28 years of nothing but Clintons and Bushes in the White House, and the world sees that, too. Hillary Clinton and the Republicans HATE each other so bad NOTHING will get done while she is President. There is no figure more hated in the Republican world as Hillary Clinton, and her 4-8 years would be the most brutal, battle-filled, stalemate this country has ever seen. She should recognize that and bow out of this race for the good of the country.
That is totally, utterly absurd! It fully reveals Bill Clinton's arrogance and contempt for voters...
This is so full of BS. The reason our reputation is so bad is because of all the libs trashing our president, our troops, undermining the U.S. at every opportunity. How can anyone respect America if Americans don't respect America...Reed, Dixie Chicks, on and on and on and on and on! I am sick of it.
oh man.. as much as I like Clinton.. i dont like that he said this statement..just opens up too many doors for a rebuttal from the GOP. But I have to think that he has a plan....
Seems as though the Clinton's and Bushes are pretty tight, and a LOT of money is involved. Look at: http://www.worldreports.com for more info. Click the link re: Bush Senior.

Seems that Billy is just a little too confident that Hillary has bought her way into the presidency. As if he didn't expose himself (no pun intended) enough while he was in office, but now he is already tell the public what HE is going to do to keep in the public eye once his wife become president.
...this is the biggest bunch of crap , I've heard in a long while .
... if people think either of these guys care anything about you , America deserves what it gets .
I doubt the President's father would do anything like that. After all he cried while talking about what a good and honorable person W. is.
Do you think Bill might be trying to sabotage Hilly's campaign?
Does anyone know if the Clinton's get the use of Air Force One? One of the older planes?
ElaineKramer
Marvene Bowles, are you kidding me??? I'm an INTELLECTUAL woman who isn't just going to back someone based on gender- I back based on virtue, knowledge, and ideas. Therefore, I am vehemently backing Barack Obama in 2008. I was supporting Hillary before I actually heard Obama speak and really looked into his position on issues important to me. I think her reaction to her plummeting poll ratings is a true statement of how unscrupulous she really is, and I, for one, do not want another four or eight years of lies and arrogance...
check it out:
http://www.barackobama.com
Just like everything CNN broadcasts – a day later they're always WRONG – They are paid lackeys for the DNC and they dont really care about reality – they want to create reality
This is miss imformation by CNN Headline. President Bush was not available for Comment!!!!!
Clinton News Network!!!
Sounds like all they REALLY want to do is send their friends on extended vacations around the world, and let us pay for it.
Oh man, she just lost my Vote, Go Obama!
Oh God, come on CNN. Of course Presidents are going to help each other. That's what they do. Clinton has helped GW. But it is pretty blunt of a statement to read President Hillary. Does she not deserve to be called by her last name? Hmmmm...interesting.
A 'publican winning? Never happen. Arrogant, bunker-mentality thinking.
Yeah what this really means is if Hillary is president it will be Bill's job to be out of her sight so as not to embarass her and travel the world and let nations like North Korea, Pakistan and terrorists like Osama know that America is ready to sell them nuclear secrets, arms and really fail to even attempt to stop them. We are open for bribery, terrorism and utter wussification
He forgot Poland.
First of all, it's spelled buffoon.
And I have had enough buffoons in office for the last 15 years, thank you very much.
I'm sorry, is the idea that George Bush Sr. would be "helping" supposed to make us feel better? Are you kidding me?
This country is in shambles thanks to a Bush....our foreign policy is a joke, and our President seems to think that he can do whatever he wants while telling the public what he thinks they want to hear.
We need a CHANGE. That means new blood, new ideas, and a breath of FRESH AIR in the White House.
And Marvene.....for most of us it has absolutely nothing to do with voting for or not voting for a woman. She is NOT the most qualified, nor is she the right person for the White House. And I AM a woman too. That argument is ridiculous.
Voting RON PAUL is the only way to end the military industrial complex, the only way to change America. Vote for anyone else if you like things the way they are.
Surely the American people are not gullible enough vote for Bill Clinton's partner. I think we have had enough of the Clintons and Bushes.
If Hillary thinks we can be diplomatic with these terrorists. Constantly bending over, shes honestly crazy. These radical muslims want our heads and to destroy Israel. They want us to convert our religion to theirs. NO WAY JOSE. We need to take back this country NOW and forever. Close our borders. A US defense is a national defense. People get you heads out of the sand, if we will still have heads in the near future.
I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton is telling the truth for once. I've always thought Bush's old man was as strange and disfunctional as Clinton and W. It will move from the Sublime to the Rediculous if Hillary gets in. Then Jeb will be next.
Bill wants his wife to lose. Then he will be free to get "favors" from whomever he chooses. If she wins, he's a first husband. No upside for him.
1. Bill Clinton has the biggest ego among all current politicians.
2. Bill Clinton is incapable of being a shrinking violet and staying in the background.
3. Bill Clinton wants Hillary to think he is doing everything possible to help her candidacy.
4. Bill Clinton does not want Hillary to become President because that would make her his equal. He does not want to be First Husband.
5. Bill Clinton will say just enough tone-deaf things like this to subtly sabotage her campaign.
6. After Hillary loses, Bill Clinton will be able to look her in the eyes and, with that annoying raspy voice of his, say, "But dahlin', Ah tried."
There has never existed in American politics a couple so driven, so shallow, so willing to say anything, so without principle, so dangerous.
Just give me 1 accomplishment of hillary:
I have a better strategy. How about we end all foreign aid, and then see who our real "friends" are?
I have had way more than I want of the Clintons, now "Slick Willy" is up to his old manipulative underhanded trickery again. No more Clinton no more Bush, enough is enough. America is still respected in the World if you stop listening to all of the leftist malcontent twaddle, leftists are out of power and besides them selves over it.
Please, noooo! D:
Stop it with the dynasties and the status quo! Let's bring in some CHANGE and HOPE in 2008! Ron Paul for president!
So long as Hillary can do as much for our economy as Bill did, I'm all for it. I guess most of you forgotten that although Bill wasn't the most savory person, under him we had the largest surplus in national history.
Its time for a CHANGE!!!
Those two familys have run our country for the last 20 some years GOODBYE...
GXPI nasdaq...read the news
All you Dems that are so upset...
The Clintons know they NEED Bush.
Why? you figure it out.
As a lib should feel like an idiot.
Let break the Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton pattern. Vote Republican!!
BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Is this really HOPE??
Yet another reason to avoid voting for the establishment candidate.
People have had enough of the Bush/Clinton era and are ready for a new brand of American leadership.
Political Ruling Dynasties are Anathema to The American Dream. America parted ways with England because we no longer wanted a Royal Monarch and a bunch of rich Nobels to "lead" us. Enough of Clinton and Bush, and Kennedy for that matter. We have seen the damage this type of leadership brings. It is time for fresh names and faces to lead our county, instead of pulling us back to the Hyper-partisanship that these people have brought us.
'open for business'? like the business of selling secrets to the chinese? i hope not again....
Great, So they can fly around the world, and hand out money and tell people Like us! The last thing this country needs to do is give out More Hand Outs!
she is a communist, Ms. Bowles...
Ron Paul
Please America...Wake up! Don't let eh media decide for you who is oging to be the next POTUS
Didn't we see the Louisanna National Guard roll into New Orleans 3 days after it flooded? Inspite of their own base being destroyed too?? You mindless dem sheep are so helpless..

Posted By therealist
Are you serious? Three days is a good response in your mind?
I wonder if you’d still be okay with a three-day turnaround if we stuck you in the Superdome without any clean water, surrounded by sick and dying people and their feces and urine. Your "survial of the fitest" scenario might not include you.
Marvene, here is how to put it to you as straight as possible:
Put up, or shut up. As a woman myself I can't tell you how much your comment embarrassed me - Just because Hillary is a woman DOES NOT make her good presidential potential. Maybe if you would stop clouding your head with femnazi ideals instead of rhyme and reason, you'd actually see electing Hillary will be spelling disaster for this entire country.
Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's good for us. So how about you cut the crap and stop trying to emphasize the gender card when it honestly doesn't mean jack. Negative remarks? If speaking the truth about the Clintons' actions is considered negative remarks, then I really don't want to know what your idea of a good remark is.
Hillary is being attacked in debates because she's a wishy-washy, flip-floppy sly little cretin who loves the polls with all her heart - She doesn't take strong stances and when she attacks another candidate, she cries and tries to play it off with the gender card because the others aren't afraid to hit back. Boohoo.
Anyway, this is politics, lady, put your big girl panties on like the rest of us gals and deal with it.
As for this actual article, this totally deters me from voting Hillary even more than her own antics.
Did anyone out there besides me ever read the book "Compromised" about the Clinton-Bush-CIA connection in the 1980s and early 1990s? Good luck trying to find a copy now. Why do we keep voting these people into the Presidency?
With the Clintons, you can bet your house that America will indeed be "open for business" again. And Sandy Burger will be VP of Sales and Marketing.
RE: the comment by Mr. Wilson.
These people don't think we are stupid. They KNOW we are stupid. They bank on it. If the vast majority of Americans weren't stupid, none of these people could be elected. The best think to ever happen to Politics was C-SPAN. You see what muppents our elected "leaders" are with cameras on them. Good lord, think of what it was like in 1978?!?. If Americans actually made an intelligent decision instead of letting the media force feed them opinions, we might make some progress.
In other words, Bill, Hillary will depend on her hacks, pollsters and advisors to 'lead' for her, which is what she's always done.
"America is open for buisness again" more like back up for sale.
"For example, what has happend to the Clinton surplus under Bush?"
Umm, gee, I don't know, Marshal...could it have been some major catastrophic event that happened about 6 years ago? Oh wait, that was Bush's fault, too. Despite what you people refuse to listen to or beleive, the economy has done remarkably well despite everything that has happened in the past 6 years (news you will never hear despite the actual numbers! Look them up yourself!). And I know that this will be news to you all since you won't hear it on CNN or MSNBC, but despite of all this, this administration has succeeded in paying down our national dept!!! (GASP!!) I know, you would never know it otherwise, but that means you would actually have step outside of your liberal wonderlands and look for news from other sources instead of taking everything the aforementioned networks are feeding you! Oh, and I don't expect CNN to post this. Have a great day!
Ol' Slick must be back on the coke if he thinks '41 will fly around the world trashing '43. This is a highly debatable DNC/Moveon.Org talking point anyway. Those who buy into the simple-minded idea that the world hates us because of '43 really need to provide some solid evidence. If it’s third-world dictatorships (whose “elections” were certified by Jimmy Carter), radical Islamic states who vote in the UN and want Israel wiped from the Earth, or one of the few backward countries still clinging to communism who hate us, I’m pretty much Ok with that. Remember, France used to be the go-to example for Democrats when trying to “prove” this idea, that is until the French people, in their wisdom, democratically elected pro-America, pro-West, pro-Bush Nicolas Sarkozy to be their president. Tell you what, if Slick’s words are true, then obviously we can just shut down the INS and save the taxpayers some money. After all, no one would choose to move to place that they hate. Right? Think it through, just because you might hate your President doesn’t mean that the world hates your country.
The Hillary campaign would do itself a favor by putting a muzzle on Bill and hiding him in a closet somewhere. But, then, I never thought Hillary was ever all that bright to begin with.
Go Bill! And George H. W. Bush wasn't that bad a president, not as great as William Clinton, but not miserable like his son... I think this wouldn't be a bad idea, but what's the point exactly.
Didn't we see the Louisanna National Guard roll into New Orleans 3 days after it flooded?

Posted By Marshal Phillips, Wichita, Kansas : December 18, 2007 9:53 am
No, actually she's not.
Who is running for President Bill or Hillary? There is a reason that we have term limitations and a reason we only have one person elected President.
The Clinton years were not that great people. And they were filled with one stupid drama after another. Enough already.
It's the first line that's so funny.
All these men are Bilderbergs who want control of you.
If what Bill C. says is true, he just blew it
How can he expect a father to attack his own son and support that kind of nonsense talk anyway? Enough of the Bush and Clinton crap. Hillary already was co-president. She shouldn't even be taken seriously as a candidate. What kind of a wacko insists on being a leader when half of the country is disgusted with her conniving ways and insincere BS?
IT'S HIGH TIME FOR A CHANGE. Obama, Paul, Giuliani – anybody new. No more old school nonsense.
I doubt President H.W. Bush is that chummy with that he would agree with a direct slap in the face toward his son. I do not see the need for the former co-president Clinton to travel on behalf of America. Our image is fine. We don't need the help of a sexual predator to give our country a "good" name. He gave us a name in 1998 in China and it was not one of respect.
Clinton is now going over the top. Hillary is already tarnished goods and won't be elected. He is now ruining his own reputation. Yeah right, W's Dad is going to come up and denigrate his son publicly before he leaves office. Get a grip, Bill. Your wife is headed back to the Senate where she belongs.
America should not be worried about image.......it's safety we are concerned about and Hillary can't make up her mind on ANYTHING let alone security..............
If only we could all live in a country without a Bush, Clinton, OR Kennedy in charge......*SIGH*
Great! It would be even better if they stayed on a permanent world tour, never to return.
Chelsea could do a better job than her mom.
Too many people are looking this at the surface and thinking that the Bush's are chummy with the Clintons. While both George H.W.and George W. and Bill Clinton are "bonesmen", the Bushes are doing what they can behind the scenes to "prop" up Hillary. This is because she is very polarizing and would be just the thing to energize the base and everyone else who hates Hillary to vote against her in the general election.
Funny they didnt mention Carter or Teddy
Hillary will win, because the stupid American middle class voter will reward her and her husband for sending their jobs to Communist China.
They re-elected Bill and George W. Bush.
I rest my case about the middle class being stupid!
(Begin sarcasm)
@Margo: Pfft, of course Hillary is being hated on cause she's a woman. I mean, seriously, what do you think? America's ONLY had 50-60 years of getting over the fact that women can do stuff too, I mean it's gotta take AT LEAST 1000 to realize this fact; it's so hard to believe. Hillary has great politics; y'know, the whole double-speaking herself and complaining when people gang up on her cause she's a woman (and not cause she was winning in the polls or had bad politics, cause that could NEVER happen to a Clinton), and now she's gonna send her hubby out around the world just cause she can. Seriously, what more can you ask in a president? She'll be awesome!
(End sarcasm)
I'm so glad I'm not an American...if I was, though, I'd probably vote Obama (not paying enough attention to the Republicans to decide who I like on their side)
Where does CNN come up with this stuff. CNN, you get a clue. I am positive Bush Sr. did not agree to this deal.
But "truth" and "Clinton" are oximorons. CNN looks stupid for even giving this story legitmacy of anykind.
Can Bill and Hillary tell us and explain why almost a million people in Rwanda were butchered when he was president.He did not do anything to stop the killing that went for over 100 days.We need a president who act,not look the other way.
I don't think Bill is being all that presumptious here in saying what Hillary would do if she were elected president, being that the article says he was responding to the question of what her number one priority would be if elected president.
HELP!!! Go Barack!!
it is time for a CHANGE – not the same old politics as usual – the next thing will be CHEALSEA running – AMERICA deserves much much better – OBAMA 2008
Read the RNC comment again. They are indicating there will be a Republican president in 2009, not that one of their X-presidents will be doing this.
That said, I am rooting for Hillary. We need her.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Why in the world would you libs think that Bush Sr would do anything that bull-dike asks/says/requests? Anyway, we won't have to worry about that because NO Dem will win, and for that I thank God!!
Who cares. What really matters is what comes from July 08 to Nov 08. Get a grip people and let it go. Enjoy the next few months... let the political parties sort them out, choose their candidate then get your panties all twisted then.
I don't know what Big Bill has been smoking but it's definitely not a fine, hand-rolled premium cigar. The whole proposition that GW Bush's actions have 'damaged America's reputation' is simply ludicrous, approaching preposterous. The foreign leaders, rulers, despots and crackpots who've worked against our interests since 9/11 are the same leaders, rules, despots and crackpots (or members of the same ruling group) who worked against our interests prior to 9/11. They didn't like then and they don't like us now...Net effect: no-to-little change.
I have no use for either of the Clintons and even less use or respect for the cabal of 'UNists' they collected around them. Fortunately, the Clintons only produced one female child so a Clinton political dynasty is unlikely - and that's a good thing.
The Bush family has a long history of public service, and yes, they are open to criticism - some valid, some venal - but on the whole that family's contribution to America has been positive.
And when the history of this era is finally written, the Clintons will be shown to have been venal, vile, villains; while the Bush Family - and especially George W. Bush - will be shown to have been correct, forward-thinking people who took the decisive action necessary to preserve the Union and our Republic.

We already have government mandated health care in America = It's called the VA
What an arrogant fool he is-does he think a father would make a world tour to rebuke his son –in the service of a woman who has defiled his family for years. He did service for Bush Jr. but the opposite does not play. This is their attempt to change the dialogue and make them look nice. That will never happen.

The haters are always shouting “Hillary Clinton is polarizing”, but when she reaches across the aisle and proposes bipartisan foreign policies the haters shout “Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton, no more monarchy”. Ying yang Ying yang. PLEASE STOP HATING. That’s enough. Let Hillary Clinton run a campaign without hate for one day, PLEASE. There is nothing the haters can say anymore. Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate, the most experienced candidate and she’s READY TO LEAD ON DAY ONE, plain and simple. We can’t deny this. Hillary Clinton wants to work for the American people. She wants the job. The others can run great campaigns. The others can go out and get great celebrity endorsements and make pretty floats and buttons and balloons and pander and smile and wave all they want. Hillary Clinton has put out her resume which highlights 15 years of helping ordinary Americans. When people get to know the real Hillary all the hate, lies and demagoguery the right wing has festered disappears. We don’t need a symbol of change. We need an agent for change. We know that Hillary will deliver the change we NEED.
Critics of Bill Clinton’s foreign policies are often demagogic. The world loved America when Clinton was president. We almost had Bin Laden. The right wingers will try to sell the notion that 911 was Clinton’s fault when in fact it was not. The right wing will say anything because they fear Hillary. Independent voters sometimes buy into to the demagoguery. Then you’ve got so-called Democrats on the left that add salt to the wounds by feeding into the sensation the right wingers have created. Americans must understand this by now. Just take the time to read the negative blogs of Hillary. The people who write negative blogs are often the angriest people in the world. If you meet them personally I bet you they will be mad at you for something. They need to let the sunshine in. They, too, should vote for Hillary because when you really, really get to know Hillary and see her compassion you will vote for her because it JUST MAKES SENSE.
I don't care about a President whos first priority is to restore our reputation. I want a President whos first priority is to keep America safe from attack. Also what does this phrase mean; "America is open for business " that we will be selling rooms at the White House to the Chinese again?
I can't wait to move to New Zealand
Please tell me again that Hillary isn't Bush lite! They have a never ending bag of crap to pull from.
Talk about more of the same. No more of this two family dynasty. Remember how just a few months ago Hillary said it was dirty politics to call her Bush Cheney lite. LOL
They have had their turn and it did not work. We need to try something new.
Obama/Edwards/08
How do you know a Clinton is lying? Their lips are moving.
Those posters that think CNN is being biased FOR Hillary for posting this – think again. It makes him look like an ass and her unable to control him. As soon as the republican commentators address this – watch out!
Well this is a nice surprise. Two of the better presidents doing their best to support proper diplomacy throughout the world. Bush Jr. sends his PR girl out to put a shine on diplomacy. It sounds like Clinton has a much better plan to clean up the past seven years of diplomatic decay that has been destroying our credibility.
Way to go Bill!
Telling it like I see it,

"Where does CNN come up with this stuff. CNN, you get a clue. I am positive Bush Sr. did not agree to this deal.
But "truth" and "Clinton" are oximorons. CNN looks stupid for even giving this story legitmacy of anykind."
It can be right out in the open and yet people still don't want to see.
The Clinton Bush Regime has been vacationing together for years...they have always been great friends.
Don't forget that Bush Sr. was basically considered president for at least the second term Regan had. You can tack on some years to the Bush Clinton era we can't seem to escape.
And we still have people like the yokel above who just refuses to believe that people he always thought were bitter enemies were good friends and taking us all for a ride.
Lets dump the Clinton/Bush NWOites! Vote for someone that will actually do something positive for the U.S. instead of promoting why we NEED more taxes, more federally funded social program money pits, more government intervention in our lives, more police state.
This is EXACTLY why we need Ron Paul as our next president.

Slick Willie at it again! First Slick Willie claims he was against the Iraq War from the beginning, even though there is video and transcript footage that says otherwise. Now Slick Willie claims he and GH Bush, Sr. will be dispatched by a Hillary presidency to do good in the world. I think Bill is losing his mind along with his weight. Someone please give this man a cheeseburger!
And now the Hillary campaign has decided on what their winning formula will be going into the last weeks of the Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina caucauses; PORTRAY HILLARY AS THE SOFT AND EMOTIONAL CANDIDATE AND HAVE BILL CLINTON ATTACK OBAMA. Makes sense right? Hillary has an image problem and now her family and close friends are stumping for her in Iowa ( a perfect opportunity to shed a few campaign tears) while Slick Willie uses his remaining American influence to attack Obama's experience record.
Well this is a quote from a previous presidential candidate"
"'The same old experience is irrelevant. You can have the right kind of experience or the wrong kind of experience. And mine is rooted in the real lives of real people, and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change.'"
Sound familiar, this was Bill Clinton in 1992.
How much more proof do you need that the Bush's and Clinton's are in bed together, as members of the CFR, working toward New World Order?–as phrased by daddy Bush himself in 1991.
If any CFR member is elected (which includes almost every candidate), you can kiss the US goodbye. Hello North American Union. Goodbye Constitution.
Clinton loves to talk about the World's negative image of America. I doubt that there is one, other than what was created by the American liberal lead hate media against G.W.
The weak minded liberals are so threatened by the prospect that we as a country have our own destiny and have a right to fulfill it as we deem necessary. I don't believe anyone throughout the world, other than like minded libs, have the time to evaluate
or judge the actions of America. P.S. tell the U.N. to shove it.
BEWARE THE GOVERNMENT/MEDIA COMPLEX. WE HAVE LOST OUR REPUBLIC. (Madame)
We do not need another Clinton or Bush. How about a Joe Biden,Pres/Ron Paul,VP and send Obama around the world to explain the US foreign policy the correct way, At least he can speak correctly!!!!
Just wishful thinking!!!
One more reason to not vote for Hillary – as if I needed one! Bill, sit down and SHUT UP!
And this is the reason I will be voting Hillary.
In one of the earlier blogs, one person chided CNN for negative remarks about Hillary, and threatened to switch to MSNBC for relief. Many people have done just the opposite and wonder if she's checked into Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson and others at MSNBC talk shows. Compared to Fox News, who finds nothing attractive about Hillary, these people at MSNBC seem to be out of control as far as she is concerned. There you'll find that Chris Matthews show, Hardball, has turned into The Hillary Clinton bashing show.
Compare the above talkers and I think you'll find CNN the fairest of them all.
Well, it's finally here – the complete meltdown of Bill Clinton. You've all been a witness to it.
what a scum bag. He really does want back in our Whitehouse doesn't he? I wish the cameras were running at night If these two ever communicate I can just hear all the laughter. Telling each other. you really came up with a good one with that line. Just keep repeating it someone will believe it. I can't find my clicker fast enough when either of those people are on camera. and America has a year to have to put up with this type of garbage.
I find it laughable that you Americans still believe there is an ounce of difference between the two political parties. You, like those in my country, have been duped and are paying the price for your short-sightedness.
LOL!!!
Bill C needs to wake up and stop dreaming.
Time to lock bad bad Bubba in the attic with Opie's crazy Uncle DiCheney
Senile? Please,Anyone but a Clinton or Bush!
I am sick of the Democrats looking at everything through the rear view mirror. I want a President who doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks about us. What happens when you try to please every one? No one is pleased. Dr. Phil can tell you that. The President and all the rest of these nit wits we hire with our votes need to work to get the RESPECT OF THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If, by accident, that makes people in some other country happy, it will be an added bonus.
What happened to "Live Free Or Die"? We are living under a new Royal Family. It's the dictatorial oligarchy versus us. Out of control tazing, loss of property rights, search and seizure, total surveillance, confiscatory taxation, can't smoke, can't spank your kid, can't tell your 11 year old not to have an abortion, forced acceptance of deviant lifestyles, loss of sovereignty and heritage...AND YOU CALL YOURSELF FREE????? What a joke.
BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON
I thought democracies were supposed to be free from the oppression of the continuation of families in the executive branch. Isn't that why we fought for independence from King George?? Do we now need to have another Revolutionary War against the Bush/Clinton corruption scheme? Give me a break! If Hilary gets elected, I might just have to enter politics so I can fight against her and take back the USA.
"The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation." – RNC Danny Diaz.
I hope Bill Clinton is listening.
Stop damaging our national security and economy, Bill!
Let's unite as a country – Democrats, Republicans and Independents – and elect someone other than a Clinton or Bush. We need something new to bring us back together – we've had enough of the red state vs. blue state, us vs. them mentality. Barack Obama appeals to people from all walks of life and political backgrounds.
has there EVER BEEN....a "silent" understanding of THIS magnitude (by the GOP)...
that Bush Jr, ..........has created a MESS that is impossible to ignore any longer??
Saw where OUR troops guarding the Iraq borders. This is why I'm cynical about bushes motives. Flooding in from Mexico,
and we protect other countries borders?
Bush and Congress should all be kicked out, the sooner the better. And term limits on ALL gov. elected officials. And eliminate all the lobbyists.
LORAL would be back in Business!
The comment that the Clinton News
Network (CNN) is against Clinton is
one of the most hilarious things that
i have heard in a long time. Fox News
is horrible, and CNN is certainly
catching up. They're already on the
same level as Fox in terms of being
blatently biased. They're quickly
catching up in other areas. It used to
be the one place where one could go to
get balanced information. Not any
more!! They're very good at bating as
well. They indirectly hurt other
candidates by bringing up old news
packaged as "new news with recent
developments". Only show polls that
have hillary up. Like right now, obama
leads by and average of 4-5 points in
iowa, but you wont hear CNN say it.
They used to use realclearpolitics.com
to show and average of polls. They
dont do that any more because Obama
leads the average of polls. I would
have never heard of RCP had CNN not
mentioned it when Clinton was up. The
people are increasingly recognizing
that they are a joke and heavily
biased.
Does anyone else not see that the first thing Hillary would do...
is kick Bill out?
What a stupid response from the Republican National Committee. I know they're just playing politics, but it seems we're never going to move forward so long as we keep building these massive walls around political ideology.
All potential conspiracy theories aside, perhaps George H.W. and Bill's extended collaboration reflect something really positive we haven't seen in politics in 7 years: collaboration.
Bill, you are one hilarious dude.
Judging from the impassioned speech given just last month by France's new president, I'd say we are gaining allies not losing them.
Gee Bill, did you forget what you did to Serbs? Bombing them on Easter Sunday? Oh, and that whole impeachment thing, and the fact that you are a disbarred lawyer? Maybe you can go and clean up your own reputation.
George Bush has done great things for this country, our economy and our neighbors, earmarking Billions to help fight the devastating effect of AIDS in Africa, helping to bring hope and freedom to innocent Iraqi & Afgahni citizens...
Btw Bill, we wouldn't be in this Iraq quagmire if you had allowed the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden.
I really don't know how you can show your face in public with you all your failings as human being and as president. Tsk tsk!!
Just a disgrace!
Is this also part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy?"
These are the people that made the world what it is today. Father, son, husband, wife, whatever ... these people have been controlling the world's resources for too long and have done a horrible job with the responsibility.
Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Enough is enough.
Who cares or listens to what Bill Clinton says anyway. And, for that matter, what is on CNN. Both sources are losers.
"Does this seem right?:
1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH
2004=BUSH
2008=CLINTON
2012=CLINTON"
You forgot to include Jeb Bush in 2016
Now, common sense is being...embraced.
Hats off to this idea!!
We can solve this. Both Edward's and Obama will send the best rep. possible–themselves. The nation...and the world, are a little tired of the Bush/Clinton regimes. I say we encourage them to stick to philanthropic projects, and their respective book deals.
At least somebody will for a change try to improve our image, unlike Al Gore (former VP), who just trashed the USA abroad.
If your are part of the Hillary,Bush neo-con what does that mean? Does Micheal Moore have a movie that involves the Clintons and Bush negociating with the terrorist leaders around the world to continue the scare!!!1
Excuse me? Bill Clinton you are NOT the savior of our democracy and the garner of goodwill toward our nation. You were impeached, sir, and made a disgrace of our whitehouse. Please stay away from our national affairs. Come on people, anyone but bush/clinton...we are done with them.
What would Clinton and Senior Bush actually do? Their apologies would be ineffective. Sorry doesn't cut it when your government has enforced policies that have killed thousands of innocent people and, not to mention, trampled on the opinions and advice of your supposed foreign allies. Go on your jaunt, former presidents, spend more of our hard earned tax money, and please forget to write.
Look at all the DUMB SHEEPLE...still being fooled by "good cop/bad cop" elititst politicians! Don't you get it!? Both sides (Democrat/Republican) play us...the American people off each other! Enough already! WE NEED A STRONG 3RD PARTY AND WE NEED IT NOW!
I was going to vote for Hillary. I loved the economy when Bill was in. After researching and reading about the Bush-Cheney plans for the New American Century, I ABSOLUTELY will not vote for anyone associated/associating with the Bush or Cheney family.
Ill be sure to "Watch Bush Srs Lips"
This has to stop. I'm voting for the people in '08. Im voting for Ron Paul.
It's amazing how two people with such opposing lives, with a history of animosity and so little in common can come together and be so close over one single issue.....their mutual hate of Hillary.
This right here in enough for me. Anyone that has the name Bush attached to it in anyway I will NOT VOTE FOR. That family is an insult to Americas. So Have a Bush attached to Hillary made up my mind. Hell No on Hillary.
Man, is Bill Clinton suffering from Alzheimers or his he just fatally stupid? None of us Republicans support Hillary – I know Dems who can't stand her. C'mon. Give me a break.
Bill CLinton, does not speak for Bush Sr. This is CLinton's underhanded way to make his wife look ligitimate Vs The reality of incompetance taht she will bring.
Bush Sr. should respond with a rebuke of Clinton's arrogance.
Bill Clinton, you are so phony. Every President except Jimmie Carter has assisted who ever is in office. What a phony suggestion that forner President George Bush is supporting Senator Clinton for President.
Get real.
Dick West
THE FIX IS IN!! Prez Bush has also made comments that Hillary would be a good president but fails to make the same endorsement for a Republican. If you think your vote counts, you're smoking something. THE FIX IS IN!
Hillary Clinton will be elected president in 2008. She's got a double digit lead in the polls over Obama. All she has to do is keep giving speeches and whip Rudy in the debates (which she can, easily). And we will have the first woman president. The fix is in.
Boy, I can think of other things that should be the next president's first priority instead of this junk. Nonetheless, Pres. Clinton, you are so desperate, as usual, for your wife. You act like the polls don't matter but to see how your strategy has played recently, it appears that they do matter to you and your pants are getting soiled over it.
I would be so happy to see President Bill Clinton, again, talking with world leaders. If Bush 1 wants to help, fine. He was a voice of sanity compared to his son and Cheyney. However, it is exciting for me to think of Bill lending a helping hand to out country. The 90s look awaful good compared to the past 8 years.
Not even GHW Bush can undo the harm to America's image that would come from having Hillary elected president.
Bush 41 was the US Ambassador to the UN in the early 70s (during that other oil crunch we had, remember?) and ran the CIA before moving serving as VP and President. Unlike his son, Pres. Bush (41) "gets" international politics, diplomacy, and has a history of keeping our troops needs in mind as well.
Between Clinton, who was often well received overseas, and Bush 41 I think they would make a great diplomatic duo.
Oh, and I'm a liberal DEM making these statements.
Bill & Hillary are such power hungry fakes, they both make me sick. They think they can just say anything and everyone will believe them. someone needs to tell them that the Jedi mind trick isn't real. It was just a movie.
How arrogant of Bill Clinton to think that Bush 41 would actually travel abroad under the (false) premise that his son did all this damage to our reputation in the world. The "allies" who made things so difficult for us in Iraq and the War on Terror in general have been voted out of office (France and Germany). They were replaced by leaders who are more interested in being true allies and cooperating with us rather than impeding the good that our country does. Count the Clintons at the head of the "Blame America First" crowd.
Jack, then I suppose "safety from global terrorism" is far more important than the Constitution as well? At what point does "safety from global terrorism" replace the threat of terrorism itself as the #1 danger facing our country?
THE WORLD LOVES AMERICA -
where is the evidence it doesn't?
There is no evidence at all "the world hates America".
This absurd fabrication is just tired, old, outdated,
false, phoney, Liberal Democrat Propaganda they would like
people to believe.
The U.S. has more long term economic and military cooperation treaties
than ever before.
The available evidence conclusively demonstrates that indeed,
The World Loves America.
Hail to MAGOG (HW's illuminati pseudonim).
I'm going to make a lot of cash betting on Hillary. It has all been decided a long time ago. Ron Paul's role is just like Perot – to be the spoiler. One can never overestimate the inteligence of the American sheeple
This is absurd. Radical Islam started and rose under Clinton? Why did Carter send those Helicopters to crash in the desert again? How many Marines died under Reagan in the Middle East. This story didnt start with Bill Clinton. Radical Islamic Terrorism is, at its root, the responsibility and failure of the Islamic institutions and leadership. It certainly is not the responsibility of Bill Clinton. To argue so requires not only a lack of historical perspective but lacks an understanding of the root causes of Islamic Terrorism to begin with. They prey on the weak, vulnerable, and those that can be easily influenced, and thus terrorize their own people more then they terrorize anyone else.
to go along with an early post, yes these two former presidents got cozy with their trips of charity for the hurricane victims. just making sure the government gets all these people conditioned on the welfare state/control. and yes, Robin, the CFR and Bilderbergs pick and choose these elitist's to be their puppets while slowly but steadily pushing us toward a one world government while we check out our latest gadgets and hear about the latest escapades of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears and see what movie we can plunk down our cash on or what can we tivo on tv next. Just the perfect plan being executed. we bury their heads in the sand.
Forget that. That's the last straw for me... I do not want any Bush to represent the U.S. anywhere anytime anyhow. If we get Bush will Hillary,
my vote will be cast for Obama, Edwards or Kucinich.
That is why I'm voting Ron Paul. A real man of change.
Bill & George's presentation will be very simple: WE SURRENDER!
I think it would be a great move. Bush has ruined this country in the eyes of the rest of the world and to many here as well. Clinton is loved world wide even more than in the USA. The Clinton years were wonderful compared to the wreck we are in right now.
yes bush will help because hillary has been annointed to be the next president its all done in the backroom. she was being groomed for the position, people don,t pick presidents the [commission] does.the secert kabal the ones who really run this country,or the [new world order.]take my word mark it down. hillary clinton is going to be the next president.
More Bush! More Clinton! MORE MORE MORE! – THATs the change we want?!
I think we have all enough of the Bushes and the Clintons.
You need to ask yourself, who do you want sitting across the table from Putin? Hillary – hardly, Obama – please, Edwards – HA. Fred Thompson is who I want sitting across that table.
I think our former President has lost his mind. He alone is doing more damage to his wife's candidate than any media or rival campaign. He is a loose cannon that this country cannot afford to have near the source of power. Instead of destroying Obama and putting that campaign on the defensive, he has put his wifes on the defensive. For heaven sakes – who would ever think a dad would endorse trashing his son.
Who cares? We are still voting for Clinton. We don't care if she is an undercover republican. We don't care if you don't like her or her husband. We don't care what she will say or do. What we do say is Clinton is our choice and will remain so. So write what you want. We live in freedom. Doesn't change our minds. Clinton 08
W is not responsible for any damage to our reputation. The damage was done in the media. #1 – NO ONE is pro war. If you think those actions were not necessary, you're ill advised. You think it's not better now; speak to someone from there. #2- As for Pro-Corporation; who pays you, Jesse, welfare. Wake up. You just believe whatever the media says, don’t ya. You do some research. Get some firsthand facts, not editorials.
... I'd rather ride with Teddy Kennedy across a bridge , than have another Clinton or Bush involved in anything .
President Hillary!!??!! If that doesn't scare the crap out of you – nothing will.
This is merely more "smoke and mirrors" from Clinton Inc. we cannot trust a word she says; her only goal is power at any cost. She is as dangerous as any despot of previous generations...besides that, her "experience" is as imaginary as her likability...
Backstabing sitting presidents is the last brick in Bill's pitiful legacy, no one needs Hillary to win more than he does..
All Bill wants is to ride on Hillary's rather large pant suit tails back into the White House to govern..
"Willy" just keeps running his mouth, whether what he says is the truth, or not, is purely coincidental. Hillary Rodham is more disciplined – she just panders and obfuscates – all the time.
A VERY misleading headline by the liberal Clinton news network. Without reading the article , it appears that Bush Sr. has endorsed Ms Rodham. This is actually a proposal by slick Bill that Bush Sr. has Not even commented on. VERY IRRESPONBIBLE REPORTING!!!!
Great. So for those who are tired of administrations run by Clinton and Bush, here's your chance to have both at once?
No wonder Obama keeps talking about "the wrong kind of experience" and is gaining in the polls!
Bill Clinton just loves to rewrite history. Look into the archives back in 1991 to see what he thought and said about 41's foreign policy expertise at the time.
Face it, the Clintons would hire Karl Rove if that's what it took to win.
This is all we need. The Bush-Clinton oligarchy is entering a dangerous phase when both families meddle in each other's diplomacy and affairs. The New World Order is now in effect when both of these foolish men begin to interact with each other to run the country through Hillary.
This is no different than Putin taking the "backseat" to a new president. The powers to be will use the CIC as a puppet to their evil plans and eventually will take absolute power of everything government. It's bound to happen.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton,
Are Americans REALLY dumb enough to "vote" for our very own 2-family monarchy?
You bet we are!
Oligarchy is great.
Fascism is fun.
America needs to get rid of the Bush's and the Clinton's . We dont need them USA.
All the personal attack aside, one has to admit that the standing of America in the world had been MUCH MUCH stronger during the Bill Clinton and the senior Bush's era. America has lost its way, and all its moral standing, in the world stage under W.
So, what's the problem with all you people saying this and that is no good, with Bill and Bush Sr trying to repair the damage? Why don't you people come up with just ONE darn idea that is the least bit positive and constructive?!? Where is the conspiracy, when all the "conspiracy" does is to get America back on track again?
I just cannot understand the seemingly blind faith the Clinton supporters operate on. There were many other reasons why I would not vote for Hillary but this just seals the deal for me. The whole Bush/Clinton empire rule has to end for our country to truly recover and prosper once again.
Most of the world loves America.
Clinton's premise is false.
Not only are immigrants standing in visa lines at U.S. embassies around the world, but new bilateral miliary, economic, and defense treaties are being concluded – more bilateral treaties than ever.
For example,
1. INDIA
2. VIETNAM
3. JAPAN
4. TAIWAN
5. SOUTH KOREA
6. AUSTRALIA
7. ROMANIA
8. BULGARIA
9. UKRAINE
10.MONGOLIA,
11.POLAND
12.CHECK REPUBLIC
13.GREAT BRITAIN
14.TAJIKSTAN
15.TURKMENISTAN
16.UZBEKISTAN., ETC.
Are among the greatly expanded list of U.S. Allies.
These are many new long term mutual defense and economic cooperation treaties.
“The whole world hates America” is empty propaganda.
“The whole world hates America” is a tired Democratic canard, just hollow anti-American propaganda.
Again, this is factually documented by many treaties, newly written during the Bush Administration years.
Forget the Clintons and the Bush's America...We dont need them.....their trouble. Anybody but a Clinton or another Bush in politics.
The Clintons and Bush's need to get out of American politics.....their Leches of the taxpayers $$$....get a real job, Bill, George I and II and Hillary.........you should all retire from politics.
Bill Clinton's involvement on his wife's troubled campaign makes his wife look like a lightweight.
It's like calling your big brother when ever you are losing a fight.
Not needed Bill, Bush Sr. Dispatch the idea that Hillary will be the nominee.
regarding this development, george w bush replied, "i'll drink to that."
Fred Thompson 2008
Enough of the Bush and Clinton families. We need real change not the same two families. Both families have brought us to where we are now - do we want this to continue? I certainly don't.
Ok – I have one thing to say – ready...New World Order...Bush the elder, Clinton and Bush the younger.
It's funny that the international community is turned off by George W. Bush. I guess having a backbone and sticking to your guns is offensive to Euros and the assorted turd world leaders that now hate America. And since the first Bush and Clinton have no backbone, it makes perfect sense they'd be extending the gutless olive branch. Just pathetic...
What do Yugoslavia, Sudan, Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan have in common?
All were bombed by Clinton, most unilaterally. What do NAFTA, the WTO (Gatt) and free trade have in common? All were supported by Clinton. Who gave OPIC more money to move American jobs overseas, Bush or Clinton? Clinton! Will the stock market bubble of the '90's occur again? NO! Anybody But Clinton in '08.
Will Bill do this only if Hillary is elected? If so, sounds like he's serving his wife rather than serving his country. Time to get your priorities straight.
not sure I want Bill Clinton representing the USA. Under his watch the US was opened and led to Sept 11th. Would rather rely on a personal invite to business to come to America
The Clintons scare me more than the terrorists. At least we know what the terrorists stand for; with the Clintons no one is sure. We can't afford Hillary (She said) and I don't want to role the dice on my leadership choice.
What role is Jimmy Carter going to play? Isn't he full of great ideas about foreign policy? Bill needs to give it a rest.
For 2 years Bush Sr. has been pushing Hillary like she's the hottest thing since the iPod. Either he's gone senile or... someone is still loyal to the Republican party and thinks Hillary doesnt stand a chance in a national election.
The citizens have had enough of the Bush-Clinton Dynasty!
Marvene, why do you decide that this article is negative against Clinton? It looks like a pretty neutral article that some people think is positive, and others think is negative. I personally think that its pointless, as Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr should do that no matter who wins the election.
Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-
Surely we can do better than this in a country of 300+ million. These people are torturing us!
GO BILLY G0, GO!!!
Great move Bill! You have now tied Hillary to a Bush (no pun intended). Now Republicans will become more angered by the union of Hillary to ex-President Bush Sr. and at the same time Independents, Independent-leaning Democrats, and liberal Democrats will move away from Hillary due to her association with a Bush during her presidency.
We need to turn the page on this era of negative politics.
OBAMA in '08!
The Clinton's are a joke. I can't wait for Bush to be done with his term, but Clinton and/or Obama are not what this country needs. Under Bill's watch, the Democrats lost control of the congress... Under Bush 2, the Republicans lost control of the congress... The funny thing is, that even with Bush's poll numbers in the toilet, the Democrat congress has even worse numbers than he does. I think I'll pass on the Democrat socialism, weak military, and tax increases.
And the folks who bring up Katrina can get over it. A Democrat mayor and Democrat governor didn't do their jobs and allowed that mess to get out of hand. The Feds are the last resort, it's the state's responsibility. And as far as the Feds bailing those folks out... I was angry to find out that those fine people down there were spending the Federal money (our tax money) to get tatoos, go to strip clubs, etc. I donated $2000 to help those idiots. Boy do I feel like a fool. Never again!
this sure is proof of the bush clintion dynasty we must avoid hiliary at all costs

"Delve into Obama's negative back ground & report on his for a CHANGE of scenery & TOPIC"
*********************************
That is precisely the problem for CNN & other media outlets. Obama doesn't HAVE a negative background. The worst anyone can find was that he tried drugs when he was a teenager... and since he's been open about that his whole life, it's kind of difficult to "delve" into it.
Hillary and Bill on the other hand.. well, they have volumes to dig into.. stuff that frankly they created themselves!
Yes the damage control mode in which the current administration has taxed us will be a substantial undertaking and will take many many years. The world will sigh with collective relief when the most incompetent,bereft of conscience and law breaking President the world has seen is no longer in office.
I want to hear how someone who isn't a Bush or Clinton is going to go around the world bringing a new message to the world from this great country. The last name Bush is not a good one anymore. He has his son to thank for that. Wow so Hillary's first act as president(yeah right.) Will be to send the ex president overseas to give the world a sense of how our foreign policy will change? oh please... this is stupid.
Bubba just needs to go away and take his carpet bagging wife with him.
I don't think the people of the United States will ever vote a Republicsn president after the disaster that we are having now. The whole is watching and know what's happening of our country. We don't need a Republican president because it will be the same thing if not even worst than what;s happening to our country. Bill Clinton is right and I am glad he said that. Former President Bush will and I know he will, do everything he can to fix the problems that our President Bush has done to our country. Hillary Clinton I bet will do that......ask former President Bush and former President Clinton to fix our issues or problem that has been damage by our current president. This will be the best thing that former Presidents, not only former President Bush or former President Clinton but all former Presidents that would help fix our problems around theb world. This will be history. Imagine all former Presidents will be ask to help rebuild our country under Hillary's Administration. This will be GREAT PART OF HISTORY! Mr. Bill Clinton.......I know you and your wife will do everything in your power to cjange or rebuild our country.
I cannot wait to vote for our new President. Hillary is the best qualified so far.....strong, determined, experienced candidate to be the new President of the United States of America. I am so glad that you are running..........Mrs. Clinton. It is about time to rebuild our country..and I know you will do it. God Bless America.....God bless you too.
If I hear the word 'Islamicfascism' one more time I'm gonna puke. The world knows there is way more to Global Foreign Policy of which Global Terrorism is just a SMALL part of. Even George H.W. Bush knew that. Honestly we've shamed the legacy of Reagan and Goldwater.
Our former presidents have no class when they lambast GW the guy has more inner strength than all of them put together, he has done a class act under so much criticism.
Bill Clinton was criticized for not being active enough in stopping terror. Bush, Jr. is criticized for rushing in to stop terror without getting all the facts.
Hillary isn't the greatest choice to be the first female president.
Obama seems a little too inexperienced.
No one is perfect.
It looks like we've got no great choices once again in this election so we're all gonna have to pick the lesser of two evils... again! But how great is it that Bush, Sr. and Bill are agreeing on Bush, Jr's awful job.
Lets see a Republican was President for almost a year when 9/11 happened.
A Democrat (Jimmy Carter)negotiated the release of the of the Iranian Hostages in the 1970's. (An Republicans arranged for their release to be DELAYED to support the LIE that Reagan had anything to do with it.)
The Republicans and their supporters are not TRUE Americans. And they are innept and destroy the country financially everytime they come to power. Just facts.
Can we please have someone other than a Bush or Clinton. Come on people, we've had one or the other for 20 years, it's time for new faces. Send Hillary home for good.
This is a major issue. No doubt that repairing our reputation around the world is important but I would place before it the absolute necessity to correct the selling out of the American people by our elected representatives in congress. Decades ago our representatives (both sides of the aisle) sold the people out to the highest bidder and the corporations now rule the roost. Let's start with term limits. That my friends should be our primary focus ...I might add in parallel wiht the urgency of our global environmental issues. The American Electorate is asleep at the wheel...or better yet abdicated this to big money interests long ago.
Any Democrat in the WH will open us up for terrorist attack, and weaken our sovranty!
Posted By David, Layton, Utah : December 18, 2007 2:57 am
Uh, would that be soveriegnty you meant there, skipper? Any Republican in the White House will open us up for four more years of bad grammar.
I agree, there is a pattern developing. We need strong leadership that is different from the past several years. As a woman, I would be embarrassed to have Hilary as our first female president. Does anyone really think the the Islamic leaders will respect her? She is no Margret Thatcher. What about all the real estate scandals? Why didn't she fire the aid who planted questions? I will vote for whoever is NOT Hilary. I have no respect for her and do not one to tell my children one day that this was the best we could do for a famale president.
You must be kidding!!! The current president is a traitor and a liar. Now we are going to send his father who is in bed with the Saudis on a good will trip??? Are Americans crazy!?? Bush former should go back under the rock he crawled out from under.
As for Clinton, he is politics as usual too. Both these guys need to disappear. If another Clinton gets elected, then America, you get what you deserve. I couldn't be more fed up with the people of this country. We have a $@#(load of problems to solve, and guess what? The Bushes and Clintons have been at the wheel for the last twenty years. They are the cause of the mess we are in now. Americans need a sharp kick in the ass if they want more of this!
And enough with the "afraid of a woman in charge" feminist nonsense! If we cloned a younger, American-born Margaret Thatcher to run on the Republican ticket, she'd trounce Mrs. Clinton (or B. Hussein Obama) in a landslide of Reagan/Mondale proportions...even with all the trashing she would have to endure from the NYTimes, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, TIME, 60 Minutes, DailyKos, Moveon.org, George Clooney, Al Franken, Bruce Springsteen, Teddy Kennedy, Larry Flynt, Rosy O’Donnell, etc., etc.
And, let's also get off the 2 dynasties bandwagon. There is no Bush running for president now or in the foreseeable future. Jeb certainly is lukewarm on the idea. Especially compared to Mrs. Clinton, who has spent her entire life running, right down to her business-arrangement marriage to Bill. She is the only dynastic issue in '08. Bottom line, she is a stunningly dishonest political opportunist with a core belief system centered on radical leftist concepts mixed with a love for fascistic big-government control over our lives. She is also a self-anointed elitist who has remarkable disdain for her constituents and sycophants. Throw in the well-documented and unparalleled Clinton corruption...well, do we really want 4 years of this? Even more to the point, can the country survive another Clinton presidency? We barely did the first. (and save your revisionist history of the Clinton years for those with 2-digit IQ’s and/or spend their evenings viewing ‘reality’ TV).
I think it's too bad that Colleen Powell got fed up with this kind of polictical trash. I would vote for him as president in a heart beat and he certainly has as much experience as any one of the "wanna-be's" going on the ticket for 08'.
Well let's see we have the new-world-order wackos chiming in, and plenty of Bush-Clinton conspiracy theorists, and then we have those that think our constitution is only meant for "easy" times.....a quick path to security by ignoring our values, a position held by the very people who wrap themselves in the never-to-be-questioned constitution when it suits their feeble arguments. Goodbye constitution indeed, you hypocrits.
The Hillary haters are incredible (i.e. literally, not credible). Please document the so-called lies, or whatever else is eating at you. Just repeating it over and over doesn't make it so.....the repeating lies-as-truth scheme is status quo for you [R]s, but you [D]s that are following this line should be aware that you are no better than the Bushie [R]s by doing so. Shame!!!
And I like the repeated falsehood that somehow all [D]s are soft on security. Why is this...becasue they wouldn't denigrate our constitutional rights as an easy way out of a complicated problem? Security?....please pay attention now right-wingers: the bottom line is that 9/11 happened on YOUR watch, and the subsequent decisions and policies of your King Bush has only made things worse, including our security. The next [D] president will work to make things better, even as you shrill rodents on the right scream out your hate. And if its Hillary, so much the better, because I will love hearing how things are so bad from people who's lot in the world will improve under her administration.
We've had 7-8 years of dominate [R] power and "leadership" in DC. Just where has that gotten us? And all we hear as an explanation for the abject FAILURE from the right-wingers is that its the [D]s fault, especially Bill Clinton. BooHoo....this from the party who preaches taking personal responsibility!?? And these dingbats even have some of you [D]s convinced.....if you are so mentally lame as to fall for this demagoguery, you should look into the [R] party...it just might be the right kind of intellectually light-weight party for you!
I sure am tired of all these Bush's and Clinton's.
What is wrong with the elder Bush? He has become friends with Clinton who constantly trashes his son. Is he sick?
This story only demonstrates another reason GHW Bush was sent packing. W has more sense than his Dad with regard to the Clintons.
Hanging will Bill gets you dirty. As to Bill: let's see. He sent Algore to Russia with $50 billion to install a market economy and the former USSR now has two new ICBMs, one of which it claims will evade ABMs. Then Bill allowed his minion Jimmy Carter to negotiate the disastrous deal that provided Kim Jong Il with nuke technology, and ensured Red Chinese companies would control both ends of the Panama Canal and other strategic facilities in the US.
W has my respect and has done a good job. His main failings were that he never cleaned the Quislings out of the State Department or expanded the military after Clinton cut it by 40% in the 90s. Most serious is failing to understand the importance of Genesis 12:1-3 with regard to the Middle East.
clinton is:
cunning
underhanded
nasty
tasteless
Former President Clinton's Improv/Statemanship is Elvis, no wait, WC Fields like. Imagine Bill Clinton as a NYC Greyline bus tour guide where everything he utters is made up & bought as gospel by the tourists. It may make for a great SNL sketch. Unfortunately, CNN et al continue to perpetrate this fraud as credible.
Here it is, people.
Finally.
If this does not conclusively show that the Clintons and Bushes are intimately connected, and are part of the exact same power cabal, I don't know what does.
Just like when they ran their little drug dealing and terrorist arming operation known as Iran/Contra, now George Bush, Sr. and Bill get to partner up once again to ensure that America, the republic, is finally extinguished forever and replaced with a corporate-fascist police state which will lead the world on the march towards a one world empire.
Could this be any clearer?
There is NO DIFFERENCE between Republicrats and Democans-both parties have been completely compromised and corrupted.
They represent no interests but their own and could care less about the people of this country.
The consolidation of the global empire is their only goal.
Wake up, America.
It is time to stop the endless "us vs. them" culture war that has allowed the elite to divide us into two easily conquerable divisions.
The terms "democrat" and "republican" mean nothing to those in Washington.
It is all power and money-party affiliation means nothing.
Break the endless cycle of Bush/Clinton domination!
I'm afraid Bush, Sr. will have his work cut out for him! His son is a terminal idiot, and I don't care whom I would be, in relation to him, Little Georgey would have to suffer the consequences of his stinking legacy.
Our reputation is only damaged by folks like Mr. Clinton and his ilk who never seem to be at a loss for words in crapping all over our country, and never having the guts to do it at home.
Maybe Mr. Clinton should take a look at both France and Germany: two nations with Socialist governments who worked like crazy against us at the UN, and now whose governments have ideologies that closely mirror our own.
To state that the people of a nation reflect their government is against everything Thomas Paine ever stated. The peoples of all nations are a lot closer than these Socialist/New World Order types like to believe.
We think we're a democracy [which we are] but you figure with democracy we would have more diversity in leadership...
Oh Lord god, Please Enough of the Clintons and the Bush..we need change..No More under the cover covert spending of my tax $.. I sware to lord god I will move out of the usa
Old Man Bush is as bad as Duyba...Waiting for the old geezer to kick it.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS??? When has that NOT been the case? Even immediately after 9/11, Bush pleaded with us to get out there and shop while he conspired to invade Iraq...
DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN "CONSUMERED" BY CAPITALISM. Sold to the highest bidder; everything must go. Skip the replay of "It's the Economy, stupid"...it's about representing the people!!!
Could it be any plainer that there is NO DIFFERENCE between Republicans and Democrats now? Republicans were smart enough to include a few Democrats with their secrets. That's why the Democrats in Congress haven't changed a thing. And why the waterboarding video was destroyed and investigations are stalled/non-productive. They are in this quagmire together having decided that WE CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH.
Forget experience. What we need now is some COMMON SENSE and an HONEST EFFORT to respresent THE PEOPLE (not big business).
Yes, its now time for the bigots to chime in, they can not stand partisan politics, and when a bipartisan effort is talked about they can not stand that either.
This nation has become a nation of hate. Former Presidents, world leaders, that actually were respected around the world. Former Presidents of different political beleifs working in harmony for one cause, the United States, how shocking.
The only disgraced President I see in the mix, florence jones, san diego, ca : December 18, 2007 2:54 am is the current President who is how do you say, not invited to the party.
As a life long Repulblican, I shall be voting Clinton.
Wow, I think this is great – for Bush Sr. to be a good ex-Pres rather than a Daddy – that shows some real leadership. Go Hillary go! We need you, Girl, the guys have f'd it all up!
Nice to see the Clinton machine at work again. Bush Sr. will tour with Bill to spread goodwill across the world again.
Bush Sr. can't really come out here and say he won't support America and the next president (no matter who that may be), that would sound foolish. Therefore it is tough for him to refute this. If he does come out and comment, he may end up looking bad and uncooperative. If he doesn't come out and comment, it will appear that he agrees with the Clintons and agrees that his son messed up the country somehow.
Bill, while an awful President, was and is still a great polititian! Kudos Bill! Unfortunately for Hillary, Hillary Clinton is no Bill Clinton.
By the way, what ever happened to Hillary Rodham Clinton. I guess she wants to give up her individuality when it suits her and can more closely associate herself with a "winner". If she is elected, I'm sure that it will be "Hillary Rodham Clinton" again.
What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular. I think we should be worried about being right and not popular.
That's her first priority?!
I can hear her telling Bill now: "Oh, nevermind with keeping up the pressure on Islamic terrorists, just you and Mr. Bush go make nice with the nations that abandoned us in our time of need."
That woman as president would be the downfall of this nation.
I think I should run for Presdident. Here's my list:
1. Public healthcare to everyone who wants it. (Private healthcare still available to those who choose it).
2. Eliminate welfare. You don't work, you don't eat. Need a job? Protect our borders.
3. Illegal and wanting citizenship? Sign up for 5 years active duty. You make it to the end, then you've earned your citizenship.
4. Free Algebra tutoring to all middle and highschoolers. Once you make it past that class, you can do anything.
5. Free college or technical training for everybody. Everyone should be enabled to be a contributing citizen.
6. Up the taxes on luxury items and legalize pot. Payoff the national debt.
7. Free childcare to everyone who need it or want it. Educate those little ones...not just babysit them.
8. As a govermnet, help ourselves before helping other countries. We've got our own problems. Stay out of other countries business unless we have HARD evidence to prove their aggression. Make that evidence public. Then take out the bastards.
9. Develop other alternatives to gas fueled autos. Come on folks, we don't need to be hostage to other people's oil.
10. Stop buying so much Chineese crap. We don't need it. Stop being so materialistic. Give Wal-Mart an incentive to sell American Made items like they used to. Let's face it, Wal-Mart gets most of the business from most Americans, so let's buy American made products. Shop at Target more often. The lines aren't as long.
11. Bring our jobs back from Mexico. Giving them our jobs hasn't worked in keeping them inside their own borders. Either buy Mexico or close it off completely.
We ain't going to have to worry about this scumbag (Clinton) going anywhere representing this country again. Cuz his token wife ain't going to sit in the oval office...EVER!
What a joke.They forgot one. I"M sure that peanut picker, Jimmy Carter, will want to join this troop also, as I sure his spouse will go to at taxe payers expense. These four, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Clinton, Carter are all cut from the same cloth. They are out to destroy the US as we know it. Carter, the Iranian fiasco and the Panama Canal; Bush Sr. new world order, and his comment that if the American people new what we where doing, they would run us out of town; Clinton giving away our military secrets to the Chinse(they were not given away, they where paid for); Bush Jr. North American Union: opens borders: keeping Border Patrolman in jail while pardoning other drug trafficers and other low life. And lastbut not least, Bush Jr. saying that the constitution is just a piece of G– D- paper. If anybody can see any difference, please let me know.
This is what really disturbs me about our media. The article states "to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president, Bush's son, George W. Bush."
Did he really damage our reputation? George W. Bush did nothing more than fulfill his obligation of protecting the best interests of the USA. The political opposition along and the media are the one's responsible for the damage to our reputation. They both believe that the public disparagement of our President and Country is acceptable. Sorry, they are responsible because they are irresponsible! If you are going to fix anything Bill Clinton, fix that!
Does this surprise anyone? Bush was doing insane stuff towards the end of his term as President. Why not continue. I will give piece of credit, at least they have a republican in place to work with the dems on this issue. I still wonder why we care so much about how we are viewed in the world? We need to worry about the displeasure our own people have with the government first.
There is so much hypocrisy in this world today it makes realize the end has to be near.
Bill is the last person that needs to go around trying to repair any reputation unless it's his own. It's like letting Roger Clemens going to speak to youngsters on how his work-out regiment is the sole reason for his late success.
This man's audacity knows no bounds! I'm sure he checked with former President Bush before making this statement....NOT! Thanks to Perot, this man's presidencies were an accident of history. His administration's policies emboldened terrorists around the world by looking the other way for 8 years while our embassies, naval ships and the WTC (twice)were hit. His military policies, with the help of Congress, gutted our military and its readiness and it cost us dearly. The last thing we need is his incompetent, socialist leaning wife in the WH and him out on a dog and pony show to "repair our image in the world". Providing leadership is hard and not popular most of the time. The poll driven, finger in the air strategy the Clinton's used in the 90s is a scary thought in the world we live today.
NO THANKS!
Let's see –
1. Clinton is well respected on the world stage.
2. Bush Jr. is despised but Bush Sr. isn't.
However, can Bush Sr. overcome the "Bush" name and the negative feelings against it to be a positive force? Can Clinton's likability and world-respect help get Bush Sr. past all that disapproval?
All in all, these two working together might be a new type of "ambassadors" appointment, but it could have a positive effect. I think the one stumbling block they're going to have to overcome, and it won't be easy, is the fact that Bush Sr. is Bush Jr.'s daddy. I doubt if anyone will be able to "forget" that Junior is in the White House and what the name "Bush" has come to represent.
I still see too much senseless negativity toward Hillary/Bill here. Honestly, it doesn't help the situation. Many of you know plenty about politics, so please, use your knowledge to show the public why we should not vote for Hillary. Write professionally! That will go much further than calling Hillary or Bill derogatory names. Barack Obama and his wife are intelligent, educated, and dedicated. I honestly believe they are a much better choice to represent the democratic party. Go to the barackobama.com website and learn about their ideas and goals. GO OBAMA!!! Thank you.
Hurray for George Bush sr. Maybe if the people around the world see him trying to clean up Bush JRs mess, they will not blame the rest of Americans for the trouble Jr has got this country in. Thank yoy Mr. Presidents
This country does need help repairing its reputation abroad. There is a misconception that America's Americans are god loving world hating people. WE AMERICANS NEED A LEADER who is good at keeping the peace, not another one who is bad at planning a war.
Though I know the libearl media will never let this happen it seems to me the only real change would be to elect Ron Paul. The rest of these characters are the same old politicians. NO MORE BUSHES NO MORE CLINTONS!!
lets hope hillary doesn't EVER reach the whitehouse. the last thing we need is another clinton whitehouse, lets get some fresh clean blood leadership, lets get Ron Paul!
Can there be any doubt that the two-party system is a sham?
The real two-party system in this country is that between the haves and the have-nots. The Bush-Clinton dynasty represent the haves and the have-nots are the majority of Americans.
Vote Ron Paul if you want to end this tyranny of the elite classes.
Bill Clinton is brillant. He is not obsessed with party politics- just policy.
Reagan and Clinton were the only two presidents in the last 50 years to work with the other party as well.
what a joke. does anyone honestly believe GB senior would go around the world "fixing" all the "problems" created by his son? why would he legitimize the clintons' claims that george junior has ruined America's global image?
nice try willy . . .
Don't be so quick to dismiss Bill Clinton's comments of himself and papa Bush teaming up to do a world tour if Hilldabeast gets elected.
There is an under current that has been going on between the Bush and Clinton families for a few years now, and there are ties between them that are far more important to them than papa protecting his kid's reputation.
If Americans only knew 1/10th of what goes on between the power brokers in our country/world, they would puke.
I have the perspective of 60+ years and can tell you that America's "standing" in the world, moral or otherwise, has always been a mixed bag of love, hate, envy, fear and need regardless of who sits in the White House. If the world leaders of his time regarded Bill Clinton with a certain affection, it's only because he was obsequious on the world stage and willing always (or so it seemed) to apologize on behalf of the US (and us) for our perceived past, present and future "sins". WJC also was far more likely to bow to international pressure than his successor. All of you who need the rest of the world to love us should get over it because it's not going to happen and it won't matter who the new president-elect sends out to declare "American open for business again". And does anyone actually think George HW Bush would agree to a "goodwill" tour that would denigrate and undermine his own son, the sitting President?? Get a grip. An increasingly desperate Bubba is just blowing more of his customary smoke. The act is old and isn't selling so well anymore.
Just what we need Bill Clinton useing Air Force One as a PIMP MOBILE. How much will he charge for rides ? The last time the Clintons had control of AIR FORCE ONE it cost the tax payers $78 million dollars over 8 years. Thats more than every president combined in history. Maybe Bill can team up with Jimmy Carter and call it THE APOLOGY TOUR.
At the end of Bush's term, we will have had either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House for **20 CONSECUTIVE YEARS**. That LAST thing this country needs is another Bush or Clinton, i.e. Hillary Clinton, in the White House for 8 MORE years. This country needs to elect someone other than Clinton, and someone other than a neo-conservative war monger!
I thought plastic surgery was supposed to make you look better?
Perhaps Bill sent her to a bad surgeon because the last thing he wants is to see his wife in office having a shot at a better legacy than he hopes for. Remember, It’s ALWAYS all about Billy. Last week in a speech about her he mentioned himself like 27 times and Hillary 3 times.
The only upside from Billy’s standpoint is with her as president it would be easier to advance his continuing attempt at revising history concerning his tenure in the Oval Orifice.
Yea Right. Once they have lined thier pockets with the soul of America.
That's a vaguely ominous post-script coming from the RNC. Basically, he's saying RNC will do the opposite and say the damage should remain. So we should expect the "R" neo-cons to continue the arms-length relations and hegemonic hard line?
Oh? Since when is it President Hillary? Did I miss something here or is someone being a little presumptuous?
Hillary is the best qualified to be president and Bill and Bush are the best in America to restore Americas badly damaged foreign policy. Jeb Bush will be the best qualified for presidency in 2012. At least that's the way Bill and Hillary see things.
Hey Ted from Phoenix: that's right, the current direction of this country isn't far-right enough! Why don't you run for president? I'm sure you would protect the "US as we know it". Ted for president! Heil Ted!
This is for all the people voting on bases of color and gender. I'm black I'm voting for Obama not because he's partial black, it's because he's ready to go to work and make a change for the postive in a country that really needs that know. I'f you vote for Hillary because she's a woman or a canidate because there a republican or democrate only then your continuing to run this country in to the ground. Pity people voted for two terms of Bush and look where we are. I'm not saying vote for Obama I'm saying vote for the right leader leave the prejudice, bigotry and devisevness alone, lets get it right this time.
Father of the king helping HRC- Now if THAT doesn't send shivers down your backside, nothing will! Same old same old- TIME FOR CHANGE! OBAMA 08!
Who determines what America’s image in the world is? America’s image is tarnished for having the guts to break the back of international terrorism (which Clinton allowed to fester) and bring democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq? As I recall, America’s image was also tarnished in the 80s when Reagan defeated world communism (which Clinton also allowed to fester.) Shouldn’t the world be a little more worried about Iran and Korean Nukes? Russia’s deterioration into fascism? Chinese designs on Taiwan? Of course not; only pro-Americans and Patriots would concern themselves with such things. I have a better idea: the world had better try to improve its image in the eyes of America!
The real question is whether President Huckabee will want to send them on this mission or not.
The father of the current king helping HRC get our allies back- Uh, NO!
It's time for CHANGE!
OBAMA 08!
Jesse stated: "Hillary is more like Bush than Bill (Pro-War, Pro-Corporation")
Jesse – just where were you during the 90's. Remember NAFTA? Enron? GX? The corporate fraud and accounting scandals? The resulting economic crash in early 2000 that cost millions of Americans their jobs, health insurance and life savings. War? Genocide? Remember those 984 cruise missiles Bill launched? Those 5 named campaigns in Iraq? Kosovo (which Carter and Mandela condemned)? The complacency over Rwanda (800,000 dead)? Over the DR Congo (4 1/2 million dead)? Afghanistan taken over by the Taliban - remember all the activists groups and TV specials ....."Save Afghanistan"? Remember Clinton's historic as President to tackle the HIV/Aids pandemic in Africa - oh sorry, that is President George Bush.
Save Darfur? noble enough. There was no save Rwanda, save the DR Congo, Save Afghanistan, Save Sierra Leone, Save Iraq - Why? The only thing the media wanted to save was Clinton's legacy - so we don't talk about the tens of millions who died, or will die because of his self serving leadership.
If any Bush helps Hilary I will not even consider voting for her. That's pathetic Mr. Clinton.
Doesn't this guy know when to shut up? He already sunk Gore's chance for prez in 2000 with his ways and now it looks like he's sunk his wife's chance.
Consider this: BC could possibly be the only representative of the entire '60s liberal movement that made it to the White House. The WWII gen had almost every prez from Eisenhower to Bush Sr.
BLAME ROSS PEROT FOR CLINTON GETTING ELECTED FOLKS, WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO 9/11 VULNERABILITY. PEROT ALMOST DESTROYED AMERICAN BY LETTING CLINTON GET ELECTED. CLINTON - THE JOKE'S IN YOUR HAND PRESIDENT.
Did Hillary just lose the election because Bill opened his mouth?
Sure looks like it.
Well played Bill Clinton... Well played.
to: RJP3:
"a Republican was President for almost a year when 9/11 happened."
- – - Actually only seven months, three weeks, but as long as you're going to make up facts, you've obviously made them up to suit your wild thesis. And, by the way, Bush didn't even have his cabinet totally in place, thanks to the Democrats.
"A Democrat (Jimmy Carter) negotiated the release of the of the Iranian Hostages in the 1970's. (An (sic) Republicans arranged for their release to be DELAYED . . . "
- – - You are either making up more facts, delusional, or forgot to take your medicine today.
What a sad, pathetic group you Bush-haters are!
We don't need Bush Sr. and WE DON'T NEED HILLARY (OR BILL).
Bill will do or say ANYTHING to get back in the White House.
America, let's move on. Bill and Hillary have been living off your tax dollars long enough. They are just freeloaders with the ONLY THING ON THEIR MIND IS THAT POWER. They CARE NOTHING ABOUT YOU.
They need to GO AWAY.
What an arrogant statement ... as if Bush senior agrees his son has damaged this country's credibility ... i expect Bush senior to comment on her remarks.
I find it ironic that if Hillary is going to be such a great President she needs two former Presidents to come in and do her Job. Hillary if falling apart at the seams and I hope all democrat's are watching. Hillary and Obama will be a sure loss to republicans in 08. We as democrat's that want a democrat in office need to Unite behind Edwards, Biden, or Richardson they are our only hope of a Democrat becoming President. Hillary and Obama are the two most controversial canidate's in the democratic party. They have both falled the democrat's within their own party. When you can't unite your own party you will not stand a chance in the final election. There will be democrat's that will not vote if these two are the nominee or will vote Republican. Democrat's are running scared and we should be. Hillary don't seem to be able to make a decision on her own and change's a decision to please those listening at the time. And Obama has no experience as a senator much. took office in 2005. And he still has not proved to the people if he believes in the Bible or the Koran. I will not vote for someone who has not proved He is not from muslim background To many questions unanswered. Read where his father is a muslim so I went to his website He skips alot of time in his life. We better be careful.
I tired of being disappointed by both the Clintons AND the Bushs. We haven't had anyone approaching a REAL conservative in the WH since Reagan! That's why I'm voting for Duncan Hunter – FOR A CHANGE, (for the better).
Note to Paul Olympia, Washington:
Did you not notice who was reading a book about goats when the 9/11 attacks happened? You cannot in any way throw this back on Clinton, as inept as he may have been. GW was the only reason we suffered the 9/11 attacks and still are allowing our troops to be killed by terrorists every day. GWB=EVIL incarnate.
Bill, is assuming our image in the World needs mending, has he not looked resently at France and Germany, they have changed. You will never change a socialist view of America, but these countries silent majority love us that's why they voted Chirac and Schoerder's Gov'ts out. Just wait the same will happen in America in the end the silent majority will vote Republican, because they know they are the only ones to keep us safe from the New Russian Threat(Putin), China's military buildup and Islamofacists. P.S. socialists(current polite name, they are still really communists) will always hate America, it does not matter if they are American or Eurpoean or Asians.
The RNC is right you know, a republican present will lead the country in 2009: Ron Paul!!
Gee! Then the Clintonistas really aren't in the loop. They think that global warming is man-made and the wheat shortage is an accident put together by greedy Americans to hurt other people. Oh Plese1! Stop the music.
This is poor journalism. Former President Bush did not offer to help "President Hillary" nor did he comment about broken relations with other countries. However, the headline and picture are clearly meant to make the casual reader assume as much. I expect this from Move-On.org (or Hillary's campaign website), not CNN.
First of all Hillary will not even be the nominee she does not have a chance. Yea, Bill cleaning up the image of the country. I just wish the Clinton's would both just go away.
How about we send them on a one way trip to Mars. This country and world has seen enough of the Clintons, Bush's, and Carters. Time for a change, time for a revolution! RON PAUL 2008!
Ok, I have come across some fairly recent information that may be helpful or perhaps just interesting to some. Go to msnbc.com and highlight POLITICS down and to the left. Then click on topic – 'The woman behind the candidate'. You will see actual interviews of Hillary. There is more than one video. They discuss the current situation and how 'desperate' they are because Obama has so suddenly gone on a roll. At one point Hillary is asked a direct question and she refuses to answer. Next she becomes upset with the interviewer for pressing the issue. The Clintons are attacking Obama because they are frightened. Bill Clinton admits that Obama is a man of enourmous talent. Watch with an unbiased eye and judge for yourself. I realize this is nothing new to many of you, but I found it interesting the way this information was put together. Thank you.
When Huckabee is elected he will distance himself from all the old guard politicians, a welcome move.
There seems to be this prevailing attitude that confronting terrorism is more important than our reputation as a nation .. I for one, as an American, value the honor of my nation far beyond that of my safety, esp when confronted with the minuscule threat of terrorism when compared with much more mundane things like heart disease, car accidents, etc. But more importantly, a nation that gets 51% of its engineers from abroad really needs to be concerned with its image, otherwise its S.O.L.
Perhaps Bush 41 can show Bill the finer points of puking on the shoes of fellow world leaders.
Why are we to assume that our nation's world-wide reputation needs fixing? Our president has successfully, in my opinion, portrayed our nation as a country that will not be swayed from our belief that we are in the right to protect ourselves from our enemies wherever they may be. If other countries do not like this, they may either be part of the problem or contributors to the problem. Another story by cnn aimed at proliferating their agenda to have another clinton in the white house at the expense of our sitting President's integrity.
Bill and G.H. Bush Traveling Envoys for Hillary? May as well drag in Neil Bush to carry the Bags. Yes, G.W. has Screwed it Up Badly; But, there's still Rupert, whats in his "Card of Tricks"?
Who is running for President, Bill or Hillary? The world does not need anymore Clinton's in power. Sounds to me like Bill thinks the dad will stand with him against his own son, that is probably what Bill would do to Chelsea but I find it hard to believe Dad would do that to his own son. I think Dad has love and respect for his son and would not sell him down the river like some people would do to their children. Does Bill talk for the Bush family, he seems to overstep his bounds even as a personal citizen.
even more reason not to vote for her!
I think Bill's brain is going – perhaps he has syphillis? or perhaps his failing heart is shedding thrombi to his brain – that has to be the stupidist comment I have ever heard – he might as well tell Hillary to quit now – save the money for her next Senate run... maybe go back to Arkansas... now, everyone will say anyone BUT Hillary, Bill and Bush, SR.
Hey Gus T, from Miami.. kicking terrorist butt? Hmm, by demoralizing our military, getting into a meat grinder in Iraq, and creating a new department that can't find it's own hands, he sure has done a "stand up" job of keeping us safe!
Strong economy.. ever been to Michigan or any other rust belt states lately? I think people there might have a thing or two to say about the 8-10% unemployment rates. Lowering taxes.. unless you make $400,000 a year, your taxes were never lowered. Capital gains taxes on the average person came out to nothing more than about $120 on average.. while CEO's of places like Chase bank, etc, got a $20 million tax cut! Yea, GREAT JOB he's done!
Fiscal responsibility? the dollar is the lowest it's been since the 80's.. great job.. oh,. and more free trade signed. .good for major companies HQ, bad for the workers who lose their jobs.
Check out the ton of new state polls released this morning by different institutes, and they mostly have good news for Dems: There's one from Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa and Dems are even competitive in NC! Full roundup here.
CLINTONS – PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading these comments, it's apparent that many on the right need professional help for their fear of terrorists.
It's also apparent that too many of them can't remember short term history. The Clinton Administration warned Dubya that Al Queda would be their biggest concern. Bush was give a PDB warning that Bin Laden was determined to strike the US.
What the scared right wing can't see is the carass and naked profiteering adventure that is Iraq. If these scared wingnuts were really concerned about national security, they would see that we are spending our blood and treasure to make Bush and his cronies rich.
How many people out there are SICK of both these familys? I can't stand them anymore!!!! You can put Ish Kabibble in as President but no more Clintons or Bushes !!!!
Meanwhile....back on topic....
I think the underlying theme here is that the W administration through its preemptive war policies, mishandling of the war, bogus and botched intellegence claims, inabaility to handle domestic emergencies (Katrina) and laughable objection to science and environmental concerns has ruined our credibility in the world.
Are allies are shrinking year by year and we are a joke to the rest of the world.
Doesn't matter to me which repair guys you send out, the point is there is a lot of repair to do from damage caused this president's (or Cheney's)policies.
I dont see athing wrong with a GOP Moderate (Bush Sr) and a Dem Centrist (Clinton)teaming up.
Some of your comments about Bush-Clinton conspiracies are most amusing though. Are you really upset at the prospect of Bill and George Sr working together, albeit hypothetical?
Were not George Sr and Bill working together to help clean-up another one of W's botched responses; KAtrina?. Wow, bipartisanship sucks, huh?
Ok, let me get this right. Bushes help Clintons return to power so they can still have influence, access and you guessed it, power. I'm confused. Two guys that layed the groundwork and set a foreign policy plan in place that alienated us from the world, now want's to go out and say "we're open for business". We does the image of vacuum cleaner salemen come to mind.
Weapons Grade Bull-onium
Bill Clinton–what a fool!
Michigan and Detroit are the products of Democrat state and city administrations for years – not the Federal Gov't.
I don't mean to be dense but is that supposed to be comforting in some way? I find it nothing short of terrifying. So much for change. If Hilary is elected it will be more of the same and this country can't afford more of the same.
Obama in 08!
the USS Cole bombing, the first WTC attack, Khobar towers among 6-8 total attacks that Bill ignored while he was "busy" doing other things.
RIGHT WING LIE ALERT!
The '93 WTC preps are in jail.
USS Cole bombing – October 12, 2000. The Navy's investigattion wasn't done until Jan 19, 2001. It was GW Bush who ultimately took NO action against Bin Laden for this.
This is how your typical wingnut lies. They give a half trust and then build an alternate reality around it.
More Clinton lies... man, I want to like this guy but enough is enough. Is there anything he wont do? This campaign is like a big, clumsy Karl Rove production gone bad. Truth is, before moving to the US Senate, Obama spent 8 years implementing and honing policy (e.g. ethics reforms, etc.) in the IL State Senate. He has also worked closely with Dick Lugar and Russ Feingold in the US Senate on wide-ranging issues from fuel standards to weapons stockpiling/shipment regulations. That makes 11 years in elected office. For comparison, Clinton has 7 years in elected office. The relevance of time in elected is debatable; the facts aren’t. Unfortunately, facts don't matter if they get in the way of a Clinton and power.
Why are we to assume that our nation's world-wide reputation needs fixing?
Get real. Bush can't go to any nation, no matter how close an ally, without being greeted by huge crowds of protesters. Look at how few of the nations that joined us for Bush's War in Iraq are still there. Support for Bush has apparently cost the jobs for the heads of Great Britain and Australia. When Clinton travels, he gets huge crowds of admirers. All the polls show Bush is widely disliked throughout the world.
"If other countries do not like this, they may either be part of the problem or contributors to the problem" is typical of the Bush mentality that the rest of the world must be wrong and he is always right. Time for a reality check.
Kucinich is a freak. Destroyed Cleveland.
Edwards is about as worthless as a hypocrite can be.
Obama's gotta' watch out for his questionable activities in Illinois.
Hillary's ... well – c'mon, she's a carpetbagging joke. Literally the answer to a question no one wanted to ask.
Ron Paul? Are you kidding? Why not elect a frozen pizza, instead?
McCain – yawn.
Rudy? Dude ... no.
Mitt? Phpt.
The only person who, at this point, has even the slightest shadow of true character?
Fred.
No more Clintons. No more Bushes. No one steeped in either ethically challenged legal maneuvers, or corrupt politics.
And no whack-jobs.
Why are people involving the Bushes in Bill Clinton's drama, one can say or imply of people anything they want, who in their right minds thinks that there is any validity to his comments. Bush SR. wouldn't even give Hillary a ride it she was standing on the side of the road, to think he would go out of his way to help her presidency, Bill thinks everyone is like him and would do just about anything if it gave them publicity and the limelight. Bill Clinton is not only a liar but morally corrupt, to convolute Bush Sr in his conquest of a 3rd term.
The only way I could possibly vote for Hillary would be if she divorced that idiot Bill during the primary season. He is a continuing disgrace to our country. How could anyone think that he would be an asset to another administration. He'll jump the first intern/reporter/contrinutor/staff member/foreign diplomat that he can.
well all this speculation is for naught, as Hillary,(or as I call her, "the cackler") Has a better chance of finding aliens under her bed than becoming president. And libs, please retire that meme that the world now hates us because of W. or at least clarify it and say the socialist/communists hate W. That would be more accurate.....
OK Everyone. This is a serious comment roll and is a newsworthy movement. (1) the foolishness of the act (2) the fact that it got nearly 400 comments in less than one day 98% of which have been anti-clinton. The tide has turned. This is her Dean Scream. I emplore everyone who is still posting or still reading to send this CNN link to every blog they read and are allowed to post on.
People....Obama will NOT be president. You might as well get that thought out of your tiny little heads.
Clinton better watch out!! You are talking about Barbara Bush's son, and she won't like that!! Neither will his Dad. What are you thinking?
"Love me...love me...love me." That is Bill Clinton's fundamental mantra and it's why he danced-around making difficult, real-world decisions to take appropriate action during his presidency, e.g.: the first WTC bombing, Rwanda, Somalia, the attack on the Cole, decisive action in Bosnia, etc. Clinton is driven by the pathetically adolescent need to be liked and avoiding the fact that making hard decisions intrinsically means that somebody somewhere is going to dislike, or even hate, you. The U.S. is disliked not by the world, but by the left because we act on issues, while others, like the U.N., are largely impotent out of fear of offending anyone. The poll-driven Clinton sadly never grasped the adult reality that being disliked doesn't always mean that you're wrong.
Cant you people see that we will not get a change with her. If they are suppose to be two different partys, then why do they hangout? I have never known of any other presidents of the opposite party, to be budddys. technically they should be polar opposites.
http://www.Ronpaul2008.com for president. Finally a change we can believe in.
If you believe that George H.W. Bush is
going to travel around with Bill on a
P.R. trip to improve international
relations that his son has (supposedly)
ruined, I'd like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge, the Washington Monument and the Clinton Library!!!
Maybe what Hillary really wants is to keep Bill away from the pages until she can find some that look like Janet Reno. Bet that's one even Bill didn't hit on!!
Any they wonder why we don't trust the pols anymore ? Bush/Clinton working for Hillary ? This report makes it clear that America cannot have the government we need. They are all working as a team to defeat 'we the people'. Bush – the SON , must be real proud of his daddy. Help put dems in office ? I am tired of it all. I refuse to vote ever again !!
Why do women feel so defensive about Hillary becoming a first woman president. If she is qualified then by all means it is woman's time to be the president. If it is HILLARY'S TIME then to repair the damage done by G.W, surely recognized by his father, it will be necessary to send emissaries around the world to reassure the world of a different approach by US. Who would be better than the father of the son who has caused the most damage, and the spouse of the current president.
I think Bill must have miss heard his wife. I think she may have said when she reaches the White House she's going to simply "dispatch him". All the other stuff about Bush 41 was just the voice in his head going off.
Some of you are so limited in intelligence. The former president didn't say he would be going around the world to help restore the U.S. image. The Clinton campaign did. And if the image of this country is so bad, why are so many people trying to get in here?
Now I do believe this (even though it comes from CNN). Old George Herbert Walker Bush is even more stupid than his son. The Bushes and the Clintons, and most of the members of congress...what a sorry lot!
"minuscule threat of terrorism"
Posted By John, Huntington Beach CA : December 18, 2007 1:40 pm
9/11 miniscule? Good to know.
People….Obama will NOT be president. You might as well get that thought out of your tiny little heads.
Posted By Paul TX : December 18, 2007 2:08 pm
And you know this....how, oh mighty Paul of the Big Head. What a gomer!
To whatever your name is in Gallatin TN:
Don't even mention the word integrity in the same post as GWB. The man has never and will never have any semblance of integrity in the minds of true Americans.
What is it you Americans don't understand? They are all from the same money clan. Democrat-Republican means nothing. If you don't know who runs your country you better find out soon.Yea, nice New World Order you got going there!
I continue to like Bill Clinton, but I find this comment very confusing. The father will agree publicly that his son made a mess? I'd like to see that happen but can't believe that it will. What is more likely to happen is that by November next year, we will all know who Ron Paul is. We will have finally tired of the Bushes and Clintons. And Ron Paul will abolish the Fed and put the U.S. back on the gold standard, thereby growing the economy more than any wayward tax policy ever could.
A yes the Clinton News Network and it's devoted sheep pissing and moaning about how everything is Bush's fault. Lets face facts..The economic boom of the 90's was due to bills passed by Regan in the 80's. Look it up. There are several Dems that will tell you the same. The reason the economy went south in the first half of the Bush jr. years was due to the fact that Clinton was a lame duck his last year in office and let several bills lay there on his desk. You can tie Richardson and Clinton into the reason North Korea now thinks it has big balls and why Islamic
fanaticism was rising in the 90's. The Clintons are obsessed with power. You can't blame Bush for the crap going on now. It's like blaming Lincoln for the civil war and slavery. The ball was rolling long before...it just fell into their lap.
Are they kidding? Like we want more of the Bushes/clintons? They are trying to bring about this "one world government" Bush sr., is always spouting off about, which no one wants but him his son/& the /Clintons. Stupid must be in the Bush family. Don't they know we are looking for a
CHANGE in government? That means "THEM", a change from THEM!
Sick of Clintons and Bushes? That's truly idiotic - as though there's no difference between the two. I hope whoever finally wrestles the keys away from this cabal will bring its illegal, incompetent buffoonery to an end.
I sure hope we don't see the return of a Clinton to the Whitehouse. I just could not bear to have to live with all that peace and prosperity again. And what about our reputation in the World? People might actually start respecting the USA once more. We can't have that!
I am a Moderate leaning towards a Democrat who is anybody but Hillary. If by some freak chance Hillary gets the nod, I have no problem with switching up and Voting for a Republican like Huckabe, if he doesn't get the nod I'll take a strong look at whoever gets GOP nod. If I strongly dislike either candidate, I'll take the lesser of both evils and vote for whoever the GOP candidate is over Hillary. There are many people like me and this is precisely why the GOP wants Hillary to win primaries.
More Clinton lies perpetuated by Clinton News Network.
How can so many Americans be so stupid as to believe even 10% of what CNN reports let alone ANYTHING said by either Clinton?
In the early years of this country only educated people and landowners were allowed to vote. This was done to prevent the ignorant among us from having imput as to who is selected as President. Nowadays, the ignorant control things and look at the mess we are in.
Both Clintons are pathological liars and always will be and the ignorant executives at CNN will continue to report their lies as truths.
9/11 happened after the Clinton Administration did not realize that the best way to deal with the evil that exists in the world is to fight back. Was Bill Clinton this much of a wimp as a kid? Oh, that's right – he was, as seen in his book. Now, the Clintons want to make the rest of the world like us again? When did they start not liking us? When we stood up for ourselves and our interests? Save it. We need a Republican President this year, not because the Republican Party is perfect, but because they put the American national interest first.
First off, Bill did things right and wrong security wise. He did, however, sign multiple secret executive orders for the assassination of Osama Bin Laden by a clandestine or covert ops team. However, the intelligence apparatus decided this was too risky to American lives, and did not follow through. If you want to accuse Clinton of being weak on terror, fine, but give specifics. He certainly seemed to care a whole lot more about Osama than "Lets run into Iraq where there's no Osama" Bush.
Hey Bill,
Maybe you should talk with H. Bush before you make any more unauthorized comments like that. By the way...H. Bush said NO!
Funny but I thought that was the Secretary of State's job and not yours.
Keep talking...you are going to torpedo your wife's campaign
To Ronnie from Toronto...I'll take the USA's government over your socalist state any day of the week...talk about not knowing who's running the show.
Does this scare you as much as it
scares me?
hmmmm....

A Bush or a Clinton has been in the
White House for the past 27 years!
I like Ron Paul & John Edwards.
Bill Clinton's statement is only logical.
Bush 41 will change his mind if Hillary gets elected. Besides, Bill Clinton helped out in the Katrina and India disasers, per Bush 43's request.
It's the pattern of the powerful and elite.
I believe that, like any former president, the elder Bush would help the next president if asked without regard to party. That role is more likely to be public if it involves foreign relations or humanitarian efforts.
What's more (though he would be loath to make such a statement right now) the current President Bush would probably take such an attitude, too. (Frankly, I think this should have been the message sent both by former President Clinton and the Republican party for former President Bush.)
As much as I like Bill Clinton (I voted for him 4 times and would vote for him again) I would bet real money that he knows I am right! This is just another example of him parsing words, which will not help Hillary at all once people are reminded of this unpleasent trait of her husband.
America is ready for a female president. Just not Hillary Clinton. We need a break from the dueling aristocracies of Bush and Clinton running America. America would also like an African-American president, hence the GOP begging Colin Powell to run in 2000, but Obama seems like an acceptable pioneer. I'm GOP and if these were the matchups, this is how I would vote were the election today:
Clinton/McCain – McCain
Clinton/Romney – Romney
Clinton/Thompson – Thompson
Clinton/Giuliani – Bloomberg
Clinton/Huckabee – Bloomberg
Edwards – see the Clinton scenarios
Obama/McCain – McCain
Obama/Romney – Romney
Obama/Thompson – too close to call
Obama/Giuliani – Obama
Obama/Huckabee – Obama
People….Obama will NOT be president. You might as well get that thought out of your tiny little heads.

Bill Clinton is an ASS and his wife is a WITCH. And the George Sr. is oblivious. Enough already with the dynasty! Who does Bill propose after Hillary? Jeb Bush? Then Chelsea Clinton? 200 years of Bush/Clinton?

Over 3 decades and the U.S. will have been completely and utterly ruined by the likes of these two families – time to vote AGAINST them all.
How can CNN justify the media neglect of Ron Paul? They report when Clinton sneezes but dont mention Ron Paul at all. The media agenda does not include Ron Paul, that is why America Loves him. Ron Paul for President in 2008 !!!
Send Bill around the world. Send him to the moon. Send him to Mars. Just keep him the hell away from the White House!
So far I have seen at least 50 posts stating – If Hillary gets the nomination I am voting 3rd party, Republican or sitting it out. I have not seen a single – If Barack gets the nomination I am voting 3rd party, Republican or sitting it out. Who is the bigger "roll the dice" gamble going into the general?
BREAKING NEWS!
HILLARY TELLS BILL TO SHUT HIS YAP. (developing)
Doesn't matter WHO is elected. This country is no longer one nation. It's polarized and Balkanized into special interest groups.
White, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Democrats, Republicans, Christians, Atheists. And they all despise each other. And I thank the media for that- the media who is constantly pitting one side against the other in a constant 24/7 assault on our common sense.
United we stand, Divided we FALL.
I am voting for Romney too.
News of this collaboration between Bush and Clinton SCREAMS...for a third and fourth Political Party. Are we Americans losing our minds, to even entertain these two Bufoons as candidates.
(Bush + Clinton) * (Nafta + H-1Bs + open borders) = 0 middle class
America is ready for a female president, just not Hillary Clinton. Ameria is also ready for an African-American president. Had Colin Powell run in 2000, he would have won. However Obama is an acceptable pioneer, unlike Al Sharpton or Alan keyes. That said, I'm in the GOP and were the election today, this is how I would vote under these scenarios:
Clinton/McCain – McCain
Clinton/Romney – Romney
Clinton/Paul – Paul
Clinton/Thompson – Thompson
Clinton/Giuliani – Bloomberg
Clinton/Huckabee – Bloomberg
Obama/McCain – McCain
Obama/Romney – Romney
Obama/Paul – Paul
Obama/Thompson – Obama
Obama/Giuliani – Obama
Obama/Huckabee – Obama
Edwards – see Clinton scenarios
The smartest nominee Dems could make is Obama. The dumbest nominee GOPs could make is Huckabee.
I HOPE THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE–EX-PRES CLINTON HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP THIS COUNTRY BUT RUN IT DOWN!!!
Jacob said......yes he will be president, we need fresh blood no more bush-clinton-bush dynasty lets end it and take AMERICA BACK OBAMA 08!
--I think he meant to say take AMERICA BLACK OBAMA 08!!
ENOUGH of the bush/clinton alliance. I'd like to see them all exiled to another country forever. BTW, I'm a woman, Hillary's age, and I will not vote for her because of this. I was leaning away before but this sealed it. I'll be happy if I NEVER AGAIN LAY EYES ON ANY BUSH. THWT
Please, no more Clinton or Bush. We need something different. Desparately
All this drivel by Slick Willie does is remind me that for Democrats, lying, up to and including felony perjury, is something they admire and celebrate. As was so comprehensively and undeniabley proved in 1998.
Help her bring in the New World Order you mean. These CFR freaks should be brought up on charges of treason for selling out the USA.
Another Clinton lie – hear that giant sucking sound? And why am I not suprised?
Oh yeah, that's what we all need. Watching clinton & hw bush run around the world like buddies while we have to listen to Hillary's screeching voice, day after day. I hate the bushes, every last one of them, and I'm beginning to hate the Clintons. So daddy bush & clinton did something in New Orleans? What? The people are still in tents. What the h- did they do? Give everyone an extra blanket?
I don't want to hear or see any bush ever again and that includes daddy, butt ugly mama & most definitely sonny boy.
This makes me so mad I really hope it does in Hillary. Why would they think the American people would go for this?
Reading these posts only convinces me of one thing. We are definitely a divided country over Hillary and the Bushes. That's why we need a new face and direction–to come back together again. I also believe we no longer have two different parties.
Might as well pull this article down, George HW Bush kindly backhanded Bill and told him to STFU, I don't want to tour with Hillary, in fact I've never even spoke to you about such things.
Right, left, right, left...Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton...Republican, Democrat, Republican, Democrat...In case you haven't figured it out yet, both, the Democrat and Republican parties are like well lubricated pistons in the same globalism engine. One party signs onto a controversial war or policy and the supposedly opposing party initiates it or carries it through. I can't get this image out of my head. Bill Clinton in bed with Hillary, Cheney, Bush 1, Bush 2, Gore, Obama, and Rice, with Guliani popping his head out from underneath the covers.
May the Divine Right of the Bush and Clinton families endure!
Of all the arrogant statements ever made by Slick Willie, this one takes the cake. He slams GHWB's son in the same sentence as he's asking him to help "President" Hillary, who as anyone with half a brain knows, will never be president anyway. ARRRGGHHHH!!!

AMERICANS ARE PATHETIC. THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO PICK WAR AND SEX MOVIES. HOW ABOUT COMEDY? WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TODAY ARE NOTHING BUT LAUGHTER!!!
This is just another Clinton lie. You can't trust one word that they speak.
Just like they have always been–liars. Who in there right mind would put that family in the White House again. Might end up being a PLAYBOY mansion.
yayyy! one party system whoohoo!
Ron Paul '08!!
Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist,
most the rest are globalists
"chummy in recent years" ?
Over twenty years to be sure.
Bush ran drugs, guns, and money through in the eighties via the CIA, Arkansas, and the governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton.
The Globalist Agenda. These two are partners.
Personally I “Do Not” think it makes a real difference who becomes President. The real problem is Congress and the House of Representatives. I can only hope the young people of this country will get fed up with what’s there and start voting in some new blood everywhere! Get rid of the “Big & Slow” elephants, and the “Stubborn” _ SSes!
Ps:
1. Get rid off the gang activity here on our own turf first. Rescue the US of A from the criminals of “This” country!
2. Also investigate the corruption within our own colleges. How these professors get astronomical wages for minimal amount of hours worked. Along with selling their “personal” text books over and over again for “their” classes! All they do is shuffle a few chapters around and make it a “New” edition. Then end up not even teaching from it!
How much will all this travel cost the taxpayer if allowed? Perhaps Bill 'Slick Willie' Clinton can sit on the runway again at a commercial airport to get a four hundred dollar haircut, and the Clinton Network News (CNN) can ignore the story and the insane costs involved.

Who cares or listens to what Bill Clinton says anyway. And, for that matter, what is on CNN. Both sources are losers.

Everybody hates George. He is such a loser! Now how did that happen? WMD's for one. But even the Brits admit that they were duped with their own intelligence. But, that gets lost quickly with the visceral Bush haters. I have learned to hate Bush because: 1. The media tells me so (no ax to grind here) 2. My profs tell me so (and who is more street wise than a tenured professor?) 2. Harry "scrawny neck" Reid" tells me so (and we see what a fine job he's been doing in the Senate with that rubber backbone of his.). And we hear it over and over and over. I can't think of anything worse than Iraq starting to settle down and see the madness of Al Queda. I hate the thought that Bush's tenacity might actually work. It reminds of that other loser, Abe Lincoln, who was continually ridiculed and hated for not negotiating with the Confederates to bring about a peaceful solution while each side was locked in a bloodbath.
This is another reason we Should take our Republican votes and give them to Ron Paul. A real Republican
Republican complaining about Clinton's impeachment just points out their monumental HYPOCRISY.
Republicans apparently don't believe that marital infidelity is worth removing someone from office or we wouldn't still have Republican senators Larry Craig and David Vitters in office. Blatant infidelity wasn't significant enough to keep Bush from giving our nation's highest civilian award to Republican Senator Henry Hyde who had a 4-year affair with a married woman.
Republicans who would protest that they prosecuted Clinton only for perjury and not his sex life, only increase their hypocrisy. Many Republicans believe that being guilty of 1 count of obstruction of justice, 1 count of making false statements to federal investigators; and 2 counts of PERJURY is not worthy of even ONE MINUTE in prison.
HYPOCRITES!
I guess it's inevitable that the shallow and false DNC talking points regarding the Bush '43 administration make an appearance here. It's important that factoids be exposed in public discourse. To wit (I’ll choose the most recent example from Tim in Seattle):
>> preemptive war policies
Also known as the Clinton Doctrine, as outlined in his speeches and attacks on Hussein (Saddam that is, not Barak as he is doing now) in 1998 and affirmed by Gore, Kerry, Albright, Daschle, Kennedy, and, well, pretty much every prominent Democrat in subsequent years, including Mrs. Clinton. ‘W’ was Governor of Texas at the time, in case you’re interested. If anything, Bush 43 can be accused of being a bandwagon jumper.
>> mishandling of the war
I’m amazed at the number of war experts who call themselves Democrats nowadays. You guys must really have a problem with that D-Day fiasco back in ‘44. Maybe we can try Ike and Roosevelt posthumously for war crimes. Fact: the war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq have resulted in historically low casualties in relation to the number of personnel involved.
>> bogus and botched intellegence claims
Now leave Valerie Plame alone!! I’m sure she was doing the best she could. It couldn’t have been easy working in the intelligence community after years of decimation by Clinton. Not to mention the military. Bush had a huge task in rebuilding these areas, and handle 9/11 at the same time. I’d love to see either of the Clintons or Gore pull that off. That Bush had some sort of double-secret special intelligence and then lied to Congress is one of the worst lies propagated by Democrats and the media. Btw, the best thing that ever happened to Gore was to lose the election. Had he been elected, there would have been no one else to blame for 9/11, the Clinton/Gore recession, etc.
>> inabaility to handle domestic emergencies (Katrina)
How so? FEMA? FEMA doesn’t rescue people, neither does the President. The first responders are the city (Nagin) and the state (Blanco). They are the ones who failed miserably, and using the complicent media, deflected blame to Bush. Ask yourself this, how is it even possible, in 2005, to be surprised by a monster hurricane? The truth about Katrina is that the country, and the world, saw how Blue-staters really “take care” of the poor.
>> laughable objection to science
Give an example. Fetal stem cells? Virtually irrelevant now (because of science). Kyoto? Thank God we have a President astute enough to see through this fraud. Kyoto IS NOT based on science. It’s strictly about politics, that our “moron” of a President understands much better than the “brilliant” Clintons. But again, give an example. Don’t be afraid.
>> environmental concerns has ruined our credibility in the world
Again, care to give an example? Perhaps some hard data to back it up?
>> Are allies are shrinking year by year
Do you mean “our”? Factually untrue, as pointed out by earlier posts regarding the number of treaties and agreements around the world negotiated by the Bush 43 administration.
>> joke to the rest of the world
This is getting old. Care to prove your statement?
>> Doesn't matter to me which repair(?) guys you send out
Or facts…yes, we know. It’s called Bush Derangement Syndrome. Hatred seldom is logical.
I regect Willies premise, Chirac is gone, Schroeder is gone...we have no "enimies" amongst our friends.
Clinton? The man who let Ben Ladin escape numerous times?He should keep his mouth shut he disgraced the US more than any other president in recent history.By "open for buisiness" I guess he means open to more chinese bribes in return for trade deals and missile technology.
No more Clinton, no more Bush: almost anyone else would do. What ever happened to Pat Paulsen? Oh yah, he died in 1997. Still, he would be a far better President than Clinton or Bush!
No more Clintons.
No more Bushes.
Deal?
It is plan to see that america i getting the run around, we can stop all of this talk about clinton, bush and etc...when it cames down to it america will decide who will lead, its tome to put up and do what will need to be done.
I find it amusing that the military deferment/avoid Nam chickenhawks from the right hate their draft-dodging counterpart on the left, so so much.
Both are the type of weasels who would make our forefathers gag.
I have been a supporter of the Bush family, the Bush Library,and anything related to their activities. I do not believe this is true, however, if it should prove to be so, i will be forced to turn 180 degrees and consider this to be one of the worst things that could happen.
Let me explain somethng to all you Clinton fans re: the Clinton surplus.
If Clinton ran from 2000-2008, there would have been NO SURPLUS. Why? Because the federal government was making a very good return on the market.
"And the market was good because of Clinton".
Wrong, the market was good because of Greenspan, and Clinton wasn't dealing with 9-11.
Now he did have a surplus, but hell, GWB would have had a surplus too with the economy then, and no war in Iraq!!!!
ANY help from ANY former President will help with foriegn policy, its a smart suggestion. Unlike obama thinking he can run the world ALONE! well with oprah leading him by the nose
1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH

2012=CLINTON
Skull and Bones. "Don't taze me man". 'Nuff said.
Of course. We need to bust up the duopoly we have in power, and you still think that they don't agree in backrooms whos "up"? I mean c'mon people. They are both the SAME. Hillary is George Bush III. Everyone knows it. And unless we elect someone REALLY different – and there is only ONE candidate who is very very different from the rest. But I won't put his name in lest it get cut by the CNN censors. Hint: CNN gave him more airtime this morning on American Morning than Fox News did – and he's a Republican!
"If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice." Oh boy! You've got 'em worried now, Marvene. lol
The original headline was, "President She-Rat to Send a Couple of Cockroaches on a World Tour to Pump Up the USA" ... but then the editors realized that the media is not into telling the truth.
She'll first need to buy her soul back from Lucifer before she can be elected.
Huckabee for 08 WE WILL BE FINE!!!!
the Slickster at his best!! SURE - George H.W. Bush is going to wander around the globe "apologizing" for the actions of his son.
Clinton is a liar in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, 24/7, but CNN and the other lefty news outlets eat his stuff as if he is reading from tablets from God.
Disgusting.
does anyone understand the depth of the stupidity of this remark? bush senior is going to tell the world his son was incompetent! after reading that, i was speechless. this has got to be one of the most moronic moments in the this world's history. bar none!
Bush, Clinton, Bush, ???. The Bushes are as corrupt as the Clintons. The cover to the book just looks differnt. Americans wake up, get rid of both parties. Vote Obama or Guiliani, or if you have to, Romney. NO MORE BUSH CLINTON.. Enough of the corruptness.
It is President Bill Clinton, Hiliary and the Democrats that are to blame for our great country's reputation being dirtied with their "blame America first" attitude. God help us if Hiliary or any democrat wins in 2008.
I suddenly understand the full meaning of the word "spin," as follows:
Via indecipherable & spurious reference to Bush 41, Les Liaisons Dangereuses Clintons attempt to make our heads spin.
What a lie. And what a hoot.
Wily Willie Clinton still takes the US public for a collective fool, huh? Ah, well ...
Whither goes Wily Willie, so too goes his fool of a wife.
And now I won't vote for her. So much for the Clinton era, I'm out.
How can CNN report this as credible news...Please fire CNN South Carolina Producer Peter Hamby. This is classic drive by media for people who just like to read headlines.
There was more fraud in the Katrina giveaway program then Medicare. People came from out of state and received benefits not once but several times with duplicate names. That city is the most corrupts of any city in the USA. The politicians are an absolute disgrace.
It's even worse if you add VP roles:
1980=BUSH as VP
1984=BUSH as VP
1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH
2004=BUSH
2008=CLINTON
2012=CLINTON
2016 = end of second term
Can anyone seriously support
36 years of this!!!!
Can one person give me one attribute that qualifies a first-term senator with no military, business or acedemic credentials to become Commander-in-Chief.
Obama is the emptiest of empty suits and Hillary is an empty skirt - but both are life-long Marxists. I suppose that's counts for sosme on this thread.
1980 BUSH Vice Pres. (Reagan Slept)

RON PAUL in 2008 we need change
Bill Clinton seems to expect Hillary will win, it's not happening, it's time to end Bush Clinton families hold on the USA! Oboma wins hand down on the DNC side he looses the general because he has no experience, only Hillary has less she and is the most unqualified candidate ever to run for president, Hillary is skanky and old news, no matter what the second worst president next to Carter the most corrupt human on the Planet Billy Bob says! For some one to win the nominatation they need to lead or have an agenda other than my mother my friends vouch for me and my impeached disgraced Ex president has great glowing things to say except they can't be in the same room togetherv for more tha 5 minutes his hatred for her transends onto the TV, and she acts like a victim, and Buda does not help her one bit, he has lost 15-20% of his own popularity campaigning for the witch Hillary! He just killed her campaign by saying George Sr. will be helping him repair the damage he(that he did) George Jr he says did! Another BS story by Commy News Network, Clinton News Network which will increase the likely hood that she looses 15-20% in Iowa! Bush Clinton Bush, and no Hillary Clinton, the worst most stale out of touch rotten CORRUPT person to ever run for president, you can't forget Hsu is talking to the feds about Hillary and Chinagate 3, his indictement of corruption puts a huge target on Hillary! Daily Klintoon scandals again , she looses the first 15 primaries. then it's over the Corupt Clinton leagacy is over for ever!
There he goes again. The compulsive liar just makes it up as he goes along. It is absurd that 41 would agree with 42 to the detriment of 43 but nothing has ever prevented 42 from making up any whopper at any time.
Hmmmmm. Bill telling another boldface lie. I could tell because his lips were moving. That's all I have to say about that.
At this rate I guess Jeb Bush will be Hillary's VP pick...geez.
America has had enough of the Bushes and they've certainly had enough of the Clintons.
Huckabee '08 Baby!!!
Wait.....you mean Bill Clinton lied about something that someone else said? I don't get it. He and his wife are so honest and forthwright (dripping with sarcasm).
Jack from Chicago,
I think you watch a little too much Glen Beck. If you want to stop radical Islamicfascism, then we need to repair our country's reputation with the rest of the world. I think it would have been a great idea for them to travel abroad. It would have shown unity. Something this country has been missing for about 8 years now!
C'mon America, vote for Hillary in '08 and then Jeb in '16!
http://www.bushandclintonforever.com
This is unreal, now I say Go, Go Obama, we realy need a change, tired of the Bush's and Clinton's, enough is enough.
What friends and allies?
I doubt if Bush Sr will clean up Bush Jr's messes. The conservative's have been out of control for quite a long time. I think the straw that broke the camel's back was refusing to support congress's effort to set a timeline to pull out of Iraq and refusing to fund children's health care. GOP is not even American anymore. They seem to have a foreign agenda.
This made me throw up in my mouth a lil bit. I mean, serioulsy, what the hell-o is Bubba thinking?
A) Elder Bush would agree to no such thing.
B) In the Bizarro universe where Elder Bush WOULD agree to such a thing, why exactly would anyone in the Clinton campaign THINK that Elder Bush has the credibility to wander around the middle east or elsewhere "fixing" anything? Here's an idea, team up with Jimmy Carter too and you will have the three former presidents most responsible for the mess in the middle east due to their own foreign policy impotence "correcting" the "problem created by the current President."
Bubbleheads, ALL of them.
Just another lie for the Clinton News Network to broadcast to the millions of followers who refuse to think on their own. Bush senior never said this he put out a statement this afternoon. Just another lie from Clinton Inc.
I heard on the news that GW Bush did NOT say he would work with bill clinton to restore America's image, in fact, he's very proud of the work President Bush has done! Bill clinton lied again. That guy is crazy. He knows not everyone will hear that Bush senior is not going along with his plan. What a liar clinton is!
The Bush supporters hate the Clinton supporters, but have you noticed that Bush and Clinton don't hate each other ? They just use the media to divide the populace, then rule as an oligarchy. They all need to go !
Clinton is not half the man that GH Bush is. This president initiated his life as a fighter pilot champion in World War II.
His honor be will be evident on the world stage when he responds by defending his son. Whereas, it will reveal Bill Clinton's true self: white trash.
Here is the solution in 2 words.
Ron Paul
Blessings
Knowing that this article and my response to it is hosted by CNN, my comments are likely not to be posted, however, here goes.....
The Clintons are the most politically, morally, and ethically corrupt duo in American history. Bozo Bill has lost his mind! He makes these "sound bites" in the hope that they will be misconstrued as truths. The man is incapable of telling the truth.
I have no like for any of the Democratic candidates whatsoever – and not because they're Democrats. They're all representative of what's wrong – and would become dangerous in their hands – with American politics.
FDor the record, if a Democrat DID have to become President, I would prefer any single one of them over Hillary Clinton. In my opinion, she is a socialist (at the very least) and a Communist, in the most likely case.
She represents the worst disaster that could ever hit America during these times. Anyone would be a better alternative to her. Yes.... even the Huckster.
Let me get this straight...Bring in a Clinton to restore America's reputation and bring in a Republican to restore the Clinton's reputation.
I voted for Bush Jr., and honestly, I don't think Hillary would even make a bad president, other than the fact that it is becoming a dynasty. We desperately need new blood in the white house, this isn't what our system is supposed to be.
What did Bill Clinton inhale to say that former President G.H.W. Bush would go along with a "mission" requested by a future President Hillary? He should have known #41 would deny such a proposal, making #42 look silly, while scoring one for #43!
The guy who barfed all over the Japanese Prime Minister and the guy who made the whole world belly laugh with his cigar tricks, are gonna clean up the crimes of the current "commander"-in-chief (the one who went AWOL) and his war-mongering buddy (the guy who got FIVE DEFERMENTS to avoid military service)? Stand back...I always barf when I get belly laughing this hard!
I cannot believe this... So the "old man" is going to admit to the world that his son is a screw up. Is supposed to magically make things all better? Why isn't our Secretary of State already working on our credibility rather than getting in her world traveling on the taxpayers expense? Why on earth would the Clinton's want to be a part of this? Oh my head hurts... I have to lay down now...
A respected Priest was on his dying bed and ask for Bill and Hillary to be on either of his bed when he died. They came and Bill says, Father, we are honored to do this by tell us the reason why... Father says; I want to die just like Jesus with two thieves on either side.
I can't wait to move to New Zealand
Posted By Mack M, Anaheim, CA : December 18, 2007 11:00 am
We cant wait either...see ya!
So many "nut jobs" are right: Republicans and Democrats are the EXACT same thing.
I sure hope we don't get a woman, regardless of elephant or donkey.
I am so sick and tired of BOTH the Bush and Clinton families! I am reminded of how both bush and kerry were both skull and bones members. Bill joined the masons when he was 15. America needs someone LOYAL to AMERICA, NOT secret societies.
So, what's the problem with all you people saying this and that is no good, with Bill and Bush Sr trying to repair the damage? Why don't you people come up with just ONE darn idea that is the least bit positive and constructive?!? Where is the conspiracy, when all the "conspiracy" does is to get America back on track again?
Posted By tiddle, nyc, ny : December 18, 2007 12:07 pm
What's the problem with this???? Such a question shows your political naiveté. The reason this is a non-starter is in order for something like this to work, Bush 41 would have to admit publicly that his son is/was a moron and damaged the reputation of the United States.....FAT CHANCE!!!! (as demonstrated by Bush 41's PROMPT denial that he was even remotely interested in any such damage-repair, globetrotting mission with WJC.) Bush will not admit in any way, shape or form that Bush Jr. screwed up our reputation....and WJC was either naive or arrogant in suggesting that this would be the FIRST THING HRC would do if elected president...IN ADDITION...for Bush 41 to agree to such a suggestion by WJC would mean that Bush endorsed a Democrat for POTUS.....FAT CHANCE!!!!
THE WAY POLITICS HAS BEEN DONE UP TIL NOW JUST WON'T DO!!!!
Obama '08!!
Ron Paul. He will lock these Treasonous fools up. Posse Comitatus.
When in the heck did CNN become so dumb as to publish an article which is so completely off the wall as this one is?
I read another version of this story and it never said anything about the damage that our current president had or has done. A fine example of editorial censorship people and total lack of professionalism.
Insanity is when you do something over and over and over again and expect different results. How much clearer can this be? The Clinton/Bush dynasty is no friend of We The People. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us. How many times are we to be fooled? Shame, shame, shame on us. If only there was a candidate that supported the Constitution. Electing such a person would restore confidence in our country again by the entire world. If we actually followed our own Constitution, we would be respected the world over. I trust none of the above. Well, maybe one. Who could that be?
A Republican President....in 2009?!?!
To my GOP friends:
Bush has all but assured that the GOP may need many years, if ever, before they are ever trusted again to be at the controls of this great country!!!
You people don't get it. The real reason why Bill wants to be appointed by Hillary to go around the world is because he wants to be as far away from Hillary as possible. His mistake was thinking that the senior Bush would go along. He forgot that Barbara won't let Georgie leave. OK all now together – OOOOWWWWW.
While everyone is wondering why Bill made this remark, one can't but admire the man's political savviness. In one quick move he distanced his wife from the Bushes. A relationship he had built up over the last four years. Hard to imagine he had not planned this. Closeness to the Bush administration would have been very difficult to take into the elections. Now Bill will claim he feels let down. Play the sympathy card while letting everyone know that the Clintons and Bushes have nothing in common.
So what is the Secretary of State for?
One of the other candidates needs to change their name to Al Pacino or Dennis Miller so they can get name recognition too.
Interesting, a pedophile, a sex addict
and a gay in the closest Presidential
candidate. Quite a crew!!!
After reading these blogs it really shows how crazy american people really are.
Just what we all thought....The Clintons have always been in bed with the Bushes. If Hillary is elected she will definitely pursue war in Iran which is why she is getting more contributions from defense contractors (bomb makers, tanks, guns etc.) than any other candidate including any Republican. DON'T BE FOOLED AMERICA !!!! STAY AWAY FROM THE CLINTONS !!!!

Bush senior commented that is very unlikely...unfortunately, CNN will not print the truth. They are supporting the incompetent woman with the nasty personality. Our country needs a strong competent leader and t=CNN plays games with our future!
You've heard of 'Bad-cop, Good Cop' ?
This is more like 'Bad-con, Really-Bad-Con' !
It's time for the rEOVLution !
Hello media! Is anyone going to ask him about this big fat lie he just told? Or are you gonna lick his boots and ignore this lie? I am sick, sick, sick and tired of the clintons!
Vote Ron Paul 2008
He does not tolerate special interest. He is not a douche bag like Hillary and he is more experienced and capable than Obama.
Vote Ron Paul 2008. Hope for America
LOL> All they do is play good cop, bad cop. They're all one mafia. Want to see change, vote Ron Paul.
end the bush/clinton cycle. RON PAUL is the ONLY SANE choice if you value your freedom and love your country
Keep it up, you all who work for the campaigns and who blog as day job for all the candidates (what of all the vote-for-this-or-that, or ditch-him-or-her). Do you guys/gals even realize that however many times you blog the same darn theme/voice, the rest of us who actually vote have long since tuned out. Well, but at least you guys got a job still before they run out of funds paying you.
I thought America didn't have royal families
We need a change in America and it will begin with Hillary! This election might be the first time that the young professionals and college students are able to make a big impact in an election... I remember the "Rock the Vote" campaign in the past, but I'm not sure what impact it really had??? This year we all can make history by voting in Hillary Clinton in 2008!!
http://www.WellesleyInTheWhiteHouse.com
Iam voting for a new Beginning .
the current Government look like the muppet show.
Hillary do not have more exsperience then Obama .
she was campaining for Universal Healthcare and got nothing accomplished while she had a chance 8 years as first Lady , nor did she urged the issue while she is a Senator.
Because she been a Presidents Wife ? , dont give her entitlements to be President or claiming more exsperience .
She think she is smart because she dont bake cookies.
her Campain had no sustance in iowa, she talked as she wastalking to a bunch of sheep.
this whole Government is worse the the Sopranos.
I VOTE FOR A NEW BEGINNING . I VOTE OBAMA BECAUSE HE DID NOT SOLICITED CORPORRET MONEY , HE AND RON PAUL ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT REMEMBER THAT : WE THE POEPLE AND BY THE POEPLE..
HILLARY IS TOO MUCH OF THE SAME.
THE BUSH AND CLINTON DYNASTY GAVE OUR SUPERPOWER TO THE COMMIES .. THEY SEND OUR MAN TO DIE FOR A LOSS CAUSE .
EXAMPLE : WE FOUGHT AND DIED IN V-NAM AND NOW HEWLEY PACKER MOVED PROGRAMMER JOBS TO N-VIETNAM . OUR TROOPS TURN IN THERE GRAVE .
THIS ANTI AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ARE NOW AFFRAID OF EACH OTHER BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY DESTRUCT FROM WITHIN . LIKE A ROTTEN APPLE.
THEY ARE WORSE THEN THE SOPRANOS.COULD EVER BE.
HILLARY HAD NO SUBSTANCE IN IOWA.
No More Bush. No More Clinton. Electing another Clinton is NOT change, nor is it going to mean fresh ideas.
Are we actually admitting to the world that democracy doesn't work - that we only have two families with ideas for running the country?
The only way to have REAL CHANGE is to have fresh blood in the political process!
NO MORE BUSH. NO MORE CLINTON.
Let's make it happen in 2008.
Oh Yeah.
And you gotta cringe at the Campaign of Fear being waged by the Hillary camp. She's the only candidate that can win the general election. Please. Don't believe it. (Bill was elected despite of the fact that he couldn't claim to be the only viable Democratic candidate for the general election!) This campaign of fear is insulting to Americans - we all have the capacity to make real decisions based on the person that is the candidate: character, personality, values, etc. NOT based on fear of the opponent. How sad that the Clintons have to resort to fear to win over voters...
This proves that the line between "Republicans" & "Democrates" was been erased! They [media, etc.] keep trying to make it a 2 party issue. Sorry to tell you, the Tyrannts are all in it together!
I'm so glad we FINALLY have someone to vote for that ACTUALLY cares enough about the families in america. Hillary Clinton, has shown time & time again that she cares about US the people. Without Mrs. Clinton, my child would not have insurance. My child is on Health Choice which cost me $ 50.00 for the first year, and the next was free. With a broker arm, up to date shots, teeth cleaning, all the while we were fighting cancer as parents, this was a God Send.
Please don't say, "she has done nothing for healthcare", ask someone who has used the healthcare.
About her being not strong enough, that's a bunch of........... junk. We have a president in office that has turned the whole free world against us, cause it's his way or the highway. It's about time we can put someone in office that cares to listen to problems, and find a solution! Emotional............. I would hope so!!!!!!!!
Wake Up America – Put on your thinking caps......
Stay away from Obama for lack of his experience. Don't be carried away by Obama's suave personality. When one compares the state in which America is in, Obama's inexperience defies all sanity. Let's go for EDWARDS.
We really need Hillary in the White House. Obama has not experience, he does not how how to talk, I do not like his record or his plans.
America wants George Bush Jr. out of the white house, but America is planning to vote for another worse that George Jr= Obama.
Clinton's plan to go on a world tour with Bush, Sr. to undo the consequences of W's horrendous presidency is the height of arrogance!!!. Those two have done so much damage...their hypocrisy knows no bounds! For starters, Bill Clinton, or "Slick Willy" was a hypocritical president: genocide in Rwanda happened on his watch and he chose to do nothing; that NAFTA Treaty has driven the indigenous farmers off their land because they cannot compete with SUNKIST or DELMONTE! (See Amy Goodwin's DemocracyNow.org site and check out the archive of the 1/3/08 show to learn what else he DID NOT DO WHEN HE HAD THE CHANCE! Further, those two going on some sort of B..S... goodwill tour serves to give W a pass!
As for Bush Sr., charter member of the Carlyle Group...Please. Both of these men are responsible for the MidEast Cauldron along with Bush's inept son! I am sick to death of ALL OF THEM!
I have had enough of the Bush-Hillary regime, Bush Sr. goes back to the 70's. Enough is enough. Bill will the next president if Hillary wins, she can take her experience yarn and her new "change" motto and shove it. Please, please, please quote me on this William H. Clinton will be our next president if she wins.
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!
Bill Clinton did nothing in the White House the 90's was all an illusion driven by the dotcom bust. The rise of radical Islam and the complete lack of stomach for anything difficult means that the usa was not ready for 9/11. His foreign policy team was great at cozying up to China even after Tianamen square. He supported NAFTA and sold the middle class down the Swanee!!
Eight more years of the most duplicitous pair in US politics God save us
dont vote for hilary
grace is hilary
I used to really like Bill and I still think he was a good President . I don't like what Hillary is having him do for her campaign. Now I dislike Hillary more then I dislike Bush. And I'm a Democratic! Im pretty sure no Democratic's can win the white house. Its gonna be another 4-8 years of a Republican Administration. I hope its McCain.
