During his first term, didn't Bill Clinton's wife (Hillary) have a DC staff member fired because the staff member was giving computer use advise to Barbara Bush the former first lady?

"Gus Tijerino, Miami, FL December 18, 2007 4:10 pm ET

Slammed that two-timing liberal scum in the mouth like I predicted. Good Job President Bush. Put this idiot in his place. And well said. W has done a great job. I don't care what the media says, he is a great President. Terrorists on the run, sound economy, two countries liberated from tyranny, a safe homeland, North Korea stopping nuclear program, Iran on notice, a real hope for peace between Israel and Palestine, Libya disclosing nukes… And all with a positive attitude and a ready smile… Love ya W"

How do you eat without sticking the fork in your eye?

"Terrorists on the run"

Yes, running after US military and killing them.

"sound economy,"

If you consider a recession to be a sound economy that is…

"two countries liberated from tyranny"

That's HILARIOUS!!!! Afghanistan is a freaking wreck and the taliban is poised to own it again in all of it's heroin producing glory and Iraq just knows a different kind of tyranny.

"a safe homeland"

With the exception of the biggest attack in our history that occurred on the mopes watch, it always has been safe.

"North Korea stopping nuclear program"

Riiiiiight…

" Iran on notice"

Uh-huh…and those whackjobs are just a tremblin' in their boots, right? How exactly are they "on notice"?

"a real hope for peace between Israel and Palestine"

There is NO hope for peace between them, never has been and there never will be until Jesus comes floating out of the clouds. Just because the worst president in our history needs to try and do something/anything to assuage the history books doesn't mean those two will miraculously bury the hatchet…unless it's between each others shoulder blades.

"And all with a positive attitude and a ready smile…"

That's just gas…

Your post should have come with a cover charge and a two drink minimum.

Hillary, hide Bill somewhere he can't be seen or heard. No wonder Al Gore did not want him on his campaign.
He is a liability.
Not that you will win but atleast you will lose with some dignity!!

Among people of goodwill, America has gained goodwill in the last five years.

Among those who support Islamofascism (those who call themselves American and those who don't), of course we are losing goodwill.

The president's primary job is protecting the American people, and Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would not protect us.

Hillary Clinton is a scary joke that even Democrats with good sense can see is bad for the country and bad for the world.

Read the story people.

She wanted this to happen for the good of the world – 41 and 42 trying to restore the goodwill that we have lost in the past 5 years.

Bush 41 said no. And that is his prerogative.

Thats the facts.

No one said anyone promised anything.

JHC think for yourselves. No wonder this country is f'ed up, none of you can think.

What if Al Gore were President on 9/11/2001?

Oh wait, he was. At least in the majority of Americans.

Unbelievable, another sly draw by a Clinton, I know we made a mistake electing W back in office for a second term, but bringing a Clinton back in?! Crazy!

Carter

Bush
Clinton
Bush
Clinton?

Bet Carter feels left out. Doesn't he have a daughter that could run for Pres next? Afterall, he can't seem to keep his mouth shut.

Wonderful…….Bubba impregnating the world……………alone, again…..

Another Clinton Lie.

Liar, hypocrite, clinton.

Would Bill Clinton be willing to accompany George Bush on a world tour under a Fred Thompson presidency?

What a rare but huge political misstep by Bill. He showed no respect for 41 thinking he was either too dumb or too soft and would let him use him like that. WRONG! He could have been way more tactful. 41 has already indirectly done Hillary a huge service (and the entire country) in the past simply by being honest about where he is on our foreign policy–why push it like this! Really stupid and certainly wreaks of some desperation. Maybe he is seeing his "dynasty" crumble before him right now?

Bill, is adding an idea into the minds of the sheeple of the United States. This is supposed to be the "brillant" way of Clintons politics, remember MEDIA !!!

You hit the nail on the head, Dinh of honolulu hawaii:

What the coolaid drinkers spout doesn't mean sqwat. Unlike Clinton, Bush made hard decisions, made mistakes for sure, but history WILL see his accomplishments as having made a significant difference for the positive. As for Clinton, well he's still trying to rewrite his since he will be deemed as insignificant in the history books.

Has anyone thought about who is going to pay for this little trip around the world? We all know that it will be our tax dollars used to pay for this trip. California has enough of these problems do we really want this in the white house. It is good to know up front how they plan to spend our tax money and why they feel the need to increase taxes so they can go traveling across the world and eating in five star resturants. I for one am not in favor of this at all.

Good call Mr. President.

Are people serious to think that Bush SHOULD travel with Clinton to fix the worlds issues? The world isn't issue here. Clinton referenced an action for Bush to essentially criticize his own son by 'cleaning up W's diplomacy mistakes'. A pretty low insult if you asked me to do that to my own son.

Clinton is way too smart to spout this without realizing the absurdity of the premise. He obviously wants to enjoy his time alone, and isn't as into Hillary 08 as she is. Plain and simple, and I don't really blame him. He's already been down the highest political road already and has the scars to prove it.

I feel a little bad for Hillary not to see the obvious.

I commend former President Bush for his refusal to go on a Diplomatic Mission with Bill Clinton. That would be a no Brainer for Bush to even think of doing something such as that. If he approved of it and agreed to it, he would be playing right into the Clintons hands in attempting to win over the White House again. 8 Years of the Clintons in Washihgton was to long as it was.

liar, liar that's bill and hill-liar-y

You won't get an apology from Slick Willie. What you will get is a replay of the debate over the definition of the word "is" which is in his quote.

I don't think it's a good idea to take the elder Bush on any mission. He'll end up puking on them.

"That family will say ANYTHING to keep up appearances. Hey Bill, this might be a foreign concept, but telling the truth is the best place to start!!"

Yeah, cuz GWB is great at telling the truth. Amazing (well, not really) that such an idiot can lie to an entire country about anything and everything and you find fault in a former president's statement about hoping to repair foreign relations. As I said, not really amazing that GWB has you all eating from his hand.

HUMA ABEDIN ……'nough said

Bubba has NO shame. It's all about him – all the time. The man has a love affair with himself and his self-worship. "Me-me-me-I-me-me-me…" – - Sick.

Maybe Bubba should go around and assure other nations that the next Republican President, like the and current one, won't be Impeachable. Bubba is, of course, one out of only two Presidents who can make that claim to fame.

President George W. Bush has more character and purpose in his pinkie than Bubba has had over his entire life. What a phony!

"No thanks to Bubba, this campaign is going down faster than the infamous intern.
Posted By downthere : December 19, 2007 3:32 pm"
That was crass and unnecessary.

As always with Team Clinton, it's a case of mouth over matter.

Bubba has NO shame. It's all about him – all the time. The man has a love affair with himself and his self-worship. "Me-me-me-I-me-me-me…" – - Sick.

What the heck is Clinton thinking? Why would we want to bother repairing our image with the rest of the world? It's filled with FOREIGNERS! Who cares what THEY think, buncha troop-hating surrender monkeys.

Besides, he had sex in the Whitehouse.

When are the "Clintons" going to realize they can't spew out lies to the crowd they are in front of without the whole world knowing and calling them on it. With all do respect Mr. Former President – You have gotten so used to lying that you actually believe what you say.

Another lie from Bill Clinton … this time it's not under oath.

The Clintons and the Bushes, ad nauseum. Thank God, Americans are waking up and rejecting the whole lot of these political welfare recipients.
Huckabee and Obama might be a good start. The best would be to get someone who has little self interest and the best interest of the nation at heart. RON PAUL is the answer!!!!
As for Bushes, Clintons and their ilk stop using this country for your own profit. For the uninformed, look at the benefits these people all gladly suck up, like Social Security (take but don't pay), Medical (Hillary nmay hate the military but she'll be getting all her medical at Bethaisda, just like Cheney), and need we mention the security. They are all rich enough to pay their own bills, but again they serve their own interests not the nations.

This could be the best political trick in history. Old George telling Bill he would do it in a private one on one conversation. Then when Clinton says it to the whole world George Sr. yanks the rug out to make the Clintons look bad. Not saying that this happened but only in the world of politics is it even remotely possible and there still has to be some bad blood from when they ran against each other.Easily could have been the single biggest political betrayal and smartest move in of the entire 08′ election. Don't put it past them.

It is funny to see people up in arms over a good idea shot down by a family protecting crony. It would actually help the U.S.' reputation to have the 2 of them around.. of course, Bush Senior cannot admit that his son has become the worst president in U.S. history…

Why would he backtrack from a good idea? People here are quite nuts!

No thanks to Bubba, this campaign is going down faster than the infamous intern.

I'll take Clinton-esque lies about oral sex and diplomatic missions over Bush-esque lies about WMD's and trampling on the Constitution ANY day.

I would just like to point out that while I do not want Hillary in office, Bill Clinton was an excellent president. Our economy wasn't going down the drain.

>>And then the Democrat who will replace him will start cleaning up the mess he made.

>>Posted By Wayne, Greenville TX : December 18, 2007 2:57 pm

Yeah, sure, dream on. The Dems have had House and Senate for a year now and haven't stopped the war. They just funded an additional 40 billion. You Dem Koolaid drinkers are a bore.

"Other notables"??? Yeah that's all we need – a bunch of old-school, eazy sleezy politicians running around the world trying to "patch" things up.
The world despises you bubble-boy, wheelin'-and-dealin' dirtbag$. Get a clue. Your bubble burst.
GO HOME! Get back under your bridges where you belong.

elder Bush was back at Yale this week. can ya guess what he was doing? probably don't want to know but he was at a Skull & Bones ceremony getting an award from them. sick freak.

It is very sad indeed that these politicians – past and present – have the faith and trust of so many Americans…you will find after a very simple history lesson that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the "Democrats" and the "Republicans"…check the spending all on its own as an issue and you'll find that they are controlled by those with the money to create their world government. People should look to themselves for the beginning of the clean up that is necessary in American life and foreign policy.

Another example of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton lying. We sure don't need another Clinton LIAR in the White House!

What do you expect from a known PATHOLOGICAL LIAR??!!

The Bush family should hope that history will define the differences between H.W. and W. If there is any doubt that history will confuse the two and their accomplishments, then maybe H.W. should consider the idea no matter who is in the White House next.

Actually, the round the world trip would be to tell world leaders that after 8 years without a Clinton in office, the US is back to pandering to dictators and America-haters.

Posted By Brady Ohio : December 19, 2007 1:26 pm

Sure, and Democrats would never regain control of both houses of Congress. Oh, wait. DUH. Silly me, THEY DID, even when you Clinton-obsessed haters said they never would.
And you think HRC would be responsible for pandering to US-hating nations? What are you, a moron? Virtually every single 9/11 hijacker came from SAUDI ARABIA, and Cokehead George still loves to hold their hands. Cokehead George says how much he hates Communist Cuba, but gee, the US still pays RENT to Castro's government to be able to use THEIR land for the illegal Gitmo detention center. In other words: "APOLOGIST, PLEASE!" Democrats couldn't make this country any worse than Boy George already has. Wake TFU.

as sharp and calculating a politician as Clinton is, his remarks are either ginormously careless (which I doubt), hugely presumptious (likely, but not probable) or an attempt to insert himself into the equation to salve his ego and improve his 'legacy' (much closer to the bullseye I think)

MARS HILL, ME – BREAKING NEWS

Posted By Billy Hill, Mars Hill, ME : December 19, 2007 1:21 pm

Wow. That was REALLY dumb. Thanks for wasting everyone's time, Billy.

Hillary is being done in by her husband. He isn't helping her at all!

Actually, the round the world trip would be to tell world leaders that after 8 years without a Clinton in office, the US is back to pandering to dictators and America-haters.

Fortuately, HRC will never make it to the office.

MARS HILL, ME – BREAKING NEWS

BILL CLINTON CLAIMS HE AND BUSH 41 WILL SELL LEMONADE IN FRONT OF THE WHITEHOUSE TO HELP BALANCE THE BUDGET WHEN HILLARY BECOMES PRESIDENT (developing)

it's not a bad idea that Bill has, given the disaster of the "we're better than anyone' policies by the younger Bush. Senior Bush's denial of a worldwide problem with the US's policies underscore how little awareness this family and this administration has for our declining influence in the world – we are our own worst enemy and we/they don't seem to realize it! I guess a head (s) in the sand makes it go away.

cnn is a "dumb blonde news source" really, its a gossip column. anyone since 2002 that reads from this source is self deluded – they laugh at how they think they can control the world

The Clintons lie when telling the truth will do.

I will not vote for Hillary the fake.

Since Hillary is running for President, Bill Clinton will do anything to search for more INTERNS. So families, hide your daughters!!!!!! Old dogs never change their colors, nor does telling the truth come easy for Liar Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was NEVER faithful to Hillary during their marriage and will never be faithful. Bill and Hillary Clinton are an UNGODLY Couple who are in it for the power alone, they are NOT there to help anyone but themselves. It was just a couple of weeks ago that Bill Clinton was using 96 I's in his speech. He only mentioned Hillary Clinton 6 times. What sorry egos they both have.. only the "STUPID" and morally currupt vote for a clinton.

The problem with him is that he is a sick man; he doesn't know what the difference between the truth and a lie is. He lives in a fantasy world, and once his wife sinks, hopefully they'll go away.

Why is a guy that never got %50 of the popular advice held up as the world's greatest politician? Take away Ross Perot in the the first election and Clinton would have never been elected anyway. Thanks Ross, you should be so proud.
How did Clinton manage to blow such a huge lead? The Republicans would have eaten her for lunch anyway. Go Obama Go!!!

TOLD YOU SO – IT WAS MADE UP BY CNN (CLINTON NEWS NETWORK) there will BE LIES ABOUDING BY THE DEMS/MEDIA–THEYRE STUPID. they are jealous and dangerous
WE'ER CLEANING UP A MESS CAUSED BY THE CLINTONS: IRAQ AND SOON IRAN

It was just a silly comment made by Bill 42 to a question. It seems the real problem is the word "again". As a NH voter, the issue for me is that there are too many loose lipped Hillary supporters. No other campaign has generated these kinds of gaffes.

Maybe Bill let the cat out of the bag to soon… And it isn't a Conspiracy Theory is you can connect the dots….

The Bush's have screwed up enough…glad to hear that crooked old man is staying home !!! Why further the embarassment? ps I'm no fan of EITHER party….they both subject us to
doom equally…..

This report makes George H. Bush look bad, not Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is simply calling out #41 to do the same thing for Hillary that Bill did for #43. But of course #41 can't go on a fence-building mission. That would mean that he acknowledges the damage that #43 has done to America's image around the world.

MOMORY JOLT FOR EVERYONE:

After the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, Clinton and Bush went out, together, and raised terrific moneey for the effort.

Clinton got sick and needed heart surgery, putting him on the shelf for several months. Bush, Sr. continued on the stump and failed to generate the excitement heretofore enjoyed – because Clinton wasn't with him!!!

Clinton comes back, healthy and joins Father of the Stooge and the money starts to pour in, again!

The Clintons are giving this worthless family of opportnists the chance to make good on the incredible damage they, the Bushes, have unleashed on the world!

But, Bush, Sr. says no, and the GOP claims their guy in 2009 will fix it. But, according to the right-wing gasbags on the radio, there are no problems, so what is it flip-flopping right-wingers?!?!?!

By the way, Bush, Jr., aka Jet-Pilot, has assured huge Democratic victories for years to come at the national level with his brand of failed, foreign policy!!!

An article about President G.H.W. Bush and his comments has a picture of President Clinton accompanying it? CNN is the Clinton News Network.

So I guess that means Bush (41) will not be available to support the President if it turns out to be a Democrat. No shuttle diplomacy for him unless it's in the service of the GOP. Always good to know where these mutts stand.

I really don't want the former President Bush talking to the Republican Candidate once he is chosen.
I think the citizens of the U.S. are tired of the Bush's and the Clintons and the new Presidential candidate doesn't need there input.

Seriously a very dumb move. Even if it had been discussed and approved by HW Bush, saying so would of course elicit a response from Sr. That was clearly an attack on the current President and HW' son. I don't think it is a bad idea and I like the bi-partisan unity of Clinton and Bush but honestly, Bill is too seasoned and saavy of a President to make a dumb mistake like that one.

yeah, HW Bush was too busy getting his freak on this week back at the 'ol Yale stomping grounds at a Skull & Bones award ceremony for him. what a creep.

When I think of Bill Clinton I think of the song "Behind Blue Eyes"
"…No one knows what it's like
To be the bad
man
To be the sad
man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience
seems to be …"

The question no one has asked is why Bill Clinton thought he might get away with this lie. On some level, he had to believe GHWB would go along with this. Why would he think that?

Little lie, big lie. Look deeper, folks.

Tom Dedham? You are dillusional! Take it from Rosie!

This isn't the first time Bill has made the Hillary campaign look bad. At the unconscious (maybe conscious) level does anyone get the feeling that Bill doesn't want Hillary to win? The next thing that happens is that Hillary will be asked about it on a morning talk show and laugh before the question is even finished being asked.

Come on Bill Clinton looks like a fool with all his baggage and and her too, with the huge Chinagate 3 with Norman Hsu talking to the feds after his indictement about Hillary, and trying to convince Hillary is human and has experience to be presidentis so pathetic! He looks like he is running not Hillary, she is an absolute zero, and the more he stumps the more she goes down! It's funny Bill Clinton got 5000 to see on the campaign trail, Ophra got 30,000 plus, he has no coat tails, he will always be malined by his scandals and letting Ben Laden go 9 times, She looses the more he is on the trail because it is all about him not Hillary who he hates and it shows! He mentioned himself 85 times campaigning for Hillary and 6 times he mentioned Hillary! She is third in Iowa, she will be third in NH. SC. FLORIDA etc. She is as weak as a candidate that you can get, when a Muslim who is charming who has limited experiece but far more than Hillary, he is self made will beat her the first 15-25 primaries, she is a witch not a human, 55% will vote to keep her out of the office, it's funny the Clintons forgot politics 101 you never get weak, now making her more human makes her even more rotten and twice as phony! The people who hated Clinton doubled after 2000 and now they realize the fraud he was and the don't trust either!

That any of you should be suprised that bill and Hill are liars is ..well, a suprise! He lied on the stand before the grand jury (perjury) and she has lied in his defense and harrassed the women he had sex with and molested.

They are small time AR crooks who made it to the White House and never changed their tactics. He is just a lying bubba….she is pure evil.

If Hillary becomes president I guess Bill wants to let Al-Qaeda know they can go back to the days when they didn't have to worry about fighting a war in Iraq and can concentrate on planning a way to kill 3,000 more American citizens. I can't imagine why Bush 41 doesn't support this.

Before Bill Clinton apologizes for what he said, George W. Bush has to admit his shame for what he has done to damage this country, and apologize for being a worthless dirtbag.

Are you kidding me? Dem's always say that GW has ruined this country, but they offer no support of how. Hillary Clinton would turn this country back into a terrorists feeding ground like it was under her husband. Stay the course..Thompson '08

Clintons made 20+M from the first go around in the White House. They must be shooting for 50M this time. Poor Bill is telling everybody how rich he is and should not have a tax break. What about his off shore accts….Why is no one interested … where are all those investigative reporter???These people will say anything and do anything because they know the liberal media will not call them on it.

When Clinton says "America is open for business again", I believe he means he is open to another deposit of 10 million dollars into his library fund or offshore accounts from the Saudis.

The best thing Hillary can do to elect a republican is to keep letting her man flap off at the mouth. He's not a help to the campaign at all. It makes her look like a weak woman who sends in her big bad tough hubby when the road gets rough. Not at all presidential.

If Bill goes abroad, where will all these countries hide their wives and daughters?

"If we take a look at the years former President Clinton was in office the foregn policy put implace was worse."

Dream on. On September 11, 2001 Bush had the sympathy and an unprecedented amount of support from most of the world. He had the opportunity of a lifetime to bring the world together to work to combat terrorism. Look at how completely he has bungled this opportunity. Because of their support of Bush, it is likely that major supporters like Great Britain and Austalia have replaced their leaders. Don't fantasize that this colossal failure had anything to do with Clinton.

Ooops – they did it again.

It wasn't exactly a lie, but it was a very clever, manipulative, deceitful statement. Exactly what we know we can count on from the world's foremost pathlogical liars – Hill-Billy Clinton.

Bill Clinton, like his wife, is nothing more than a political operative. Everything these two do is heavily analyzed for its potential impact on their popularity. They care less about this country and its people than their own power-hungry ambition. For all of the bashing of GWB that goes on, little substance is offered as to what exactly he had done that is so bad. Virtually everyone in a position of power acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was a nasty dangerous tyrant that had to be dealt with eventually. Congress voted to give Bush the power to oust Hussein. Iraq has been a costly struggle but, to be fair, Bush never said it was going to be easy–he, in fact, said it would be very difficult. GWB's tax cuts have stimulated six years of economic growth and record tax receipts to the U.S. Treasury at the same time. The latest IRS data shows the top 5% of income earners are paying a higher percentage of the nation's income taxes than BEFORE Bush's tax cuts. This is exactly opposite of what the mainstream press has led us all to believe. GWB is far from perfect; then again, so are the Clintons, Gore, Edwards, Obama, etc.

So to sum this all up: "READ – MY – LIPS! Not gonna do e. Idea is BAD – BAD! My son the President – GOOD!"

I guess Ol' George 41 didn't get the memo.

And Team Clinton tries to equate themselves as a dynasty approaching the accomplishments of the Bush family. Don't flatter yourself. Now, Huey Long, now there's a someone you have things in common with.

President Clinton just said it was an idea and a suggestion. He never said that Bush Sr. agreed to it. Don't you people read the articles before you comment??? Plus Bush no. 1 wasn't very popular abroad any more than his son is. He had a lousy foreign policy record and started the first Gulf War. He though was smart enough to know not to go into Iraq.

P.S. I don't dislike Bush Sr., in fact I like him a whole lot better now that he isn't President.

Bill ensuring Hilary's loss? No kidding!
What is he doing? Ensuring her loss!

Remember at the beginning of his presidency when he sent her off to do the health care bill? He knew it would fail, but it would keep her busy, and guess what, he really "wanted" her to fail – he did it accidentally on purpose. You think he loves her? You think he wants her off getting busy! You bet, gives him time for his hobbies and makes him look extra good!

I cant' stand watching him campaign for her — he looks desperate and he's making her look unable to stand up for herself. I guess he knows she's a weak candidate on her own.
He needs to give it a rest — it's embarassing.

Bush Senior wasn't much of a foreign policy guy either. Why would we be surprised?

Everytime Bill Clinton opens his mouth it reminds me of all the things I detest about the Clintons. The main thing is the absolute inability to tell the truth. And to think I was contemplating voting for Hillary. God forbid!!!!

HILLARY 'STINKS' WORSE THAN OBAMA, AND BILL CLINTON KNOWS IT. BILL CLINTON WAS AN EMBARRASSING LIAR WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT, HIS WIFE IS WORSE. THEY DIDNT GET THE NICKNAME, 'SLICK' FOR NOTHING. THIS TIME, OL BJ, YOU BLEW IT, NO PUN INTENDED. WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT WE CAN TRUST, AND THE CLINTONS ARE THW WORST EVER.

I am again aghast at what democrats consider OK. Bill spouts a blatant LIE and they ignore it to rant on about whatever is on their mind. you know who you are.
YOU have no shame and very little intelligence as well.

Posted By G Wayne, Houston, TX : December 19, 2007 8:34 am

Thank you Wayne for writing what the Clintonista's choose to ignore and as usual it is the TRUTH.

The FACT or the POINT of the story here is that Bill spoke of Bush Sr. basically already accepting an invitation to travel the world with Bill and fix everything under Hillary's guidance.

Never was discussed and that makes it a LIE.

She said that's what she WOULD do; she didn't say she had even discussed it w/Bush Sr.

Besides I agree with all the other posts; why do we care what the rest of the rest of the world thinks of us!? Screw them; WE'RE the leaders of the free world. U-S-A! U-S-A!

I find it funny how the Bush bashers come out and side step the issues and push them on President Bush. If we take a look at the years former President Clinton was in office the foregn policy put implace was worse. You can't build a house on sinking sand. GWB is only trying to work with what "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" left him.

Bush Sr. surely must be aware of the damage his son has done to this country that must be cleaned up, even if he doesn't acknowledge as much publicly. I mean, is there anyone left out there who really likes Dubya and thinks he has done an admirable job??

they call this guy slick willy but he really isnt that slick at all. he is very mean spirited really and looks very unhealthy.his antics will help the republicans hold on to the white house however so keep it up Willy!

I love this "the world hate us" BS. Remove all immigration restrictions and you'll see just how "hated" we are around the world.

It was pretty low, and somewhat desperate of the Clinton clan to use the current President's Dad to undermine the current administration's foreign policies for political gain.

With all due respect, Americans are just holding their breath until we can be RID of the Bush family…..ALL of them.

George Bush Sr's comment denying his willingness to help the next president on behalf of the country…..regardless of party….clearly shows us what we need to know.

He'll be planting seeds elsewhere for Jeb or one of his grandsons instead.

Country be dammned, eh?

HILLARY…….. PAAALEEZZZEEEE get on board and endorsement from PRESIENT CARTER!!!

Bill, and FOB work hard for Americans!

Tom, GNVL

More proof positive that the truth is relative to the Clintons. In other words, it 'is' whatever they make it up to be….depending on what what your definition of "is" is!

So, Bill Clinton did not answer the person at the Hillary rally truthfully, because Bill had never even consulted George H. W. Bush about this hair-brained "round-the-world to apologize for lil Bush" scheme. When are Bill and Hillary going to learn that words mean things, and that they shouldn't lie just to pacify the immediate audience. It reminds me of when Hillary decided to tell a reporter that she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, who was famous for being the first person to scale Mt. Everest, when in fact Sir Edmund hadn't even climbed Everest until some time after Mrs. Clinton was born!

I pray daily that both the Dems and the present group of Repubs fall to the side and a non-Politiction decides to step up and be a competent administrator and CEO for the country. While I don’t trust the present group of Repubs running, I flat out fear what the Dems will do to this country. I truly believe most of us could do a more honest and open job of running this country then any of the professional polititons we have in DC at this time. If we made mistakes at least we would be open about them and try to get the situation corrected.

Half you people have so much hatred for former Pres. Clinton that you missed the whole point of the mission. This was a good idea. It would help our position in the world and improve Americas image through out the world.

This goes to show you that Republicans are not willing to work with Clinton. Hillary will further divide the country with the same old politics as usual. We need real change from a leader that can truly bridge gaps and earn respect. End the family dynasty of the past 25+ years. Vote Obama 08′

I have become a minority. I still support the president, as I did Clinton, and as I will the next president, democrat or republican. You people need to get a grip. We have the democrats running against GW and the republicans running against Hillary. GW isn't running and Hillary may not get the nomination from her party. All I see here is a bunch of bashing from both sides. I will vote republican, no matter who wins the nomination. Not because I think they are anymore honest than the democrats, I just see that they know how to rule. The current congress shows it. You have a minority calling the shots in the house. When the dems were in the house this would have never happened. Yes, I'll stick with the republicans until a better option comes along, maybe a libretarian.

The Bush comment is a distraction from a deeper problem.

Bill/Hill's campaign decided to try to one up Obama's idea of talking to foriegn leaders with a petty my quip – "my friends are bigger than yours."

The problem is that the "Emperor with no Cloths" has lost his magic to deceive the public. Now he's just one more obnoxious big mouth whose primary interest is adding more feathers to his already comfortable nest.

Bill and Bush 41 are friends. They've worked on Katrina Relief together, so anyone who thinks that Bill doesn't know how Bush truly feels is naive or blinkered. I bet they discussed something like this, and all Clinton did was jump the gun. Big deal.

It's also hilarious to see people here blame Clinton for this, that, and the other. We had a healthy economy during his terms, we had a strong dollar, a cleaner environment, more cooperation with other countries, and the respect and admiration we had rebuilt after Vietnam. All that is lost.

The Clintons are just wonderful. I love them. And their children.

I am again aghast at what democrats consider OK. Bill spouts a blatant LIE and they ignore it to rant on about whatever is on their mind. you know who you are.
YOU have no shame and very little intelligence as well.

The idea is still a good one.
Loads of people are just afraid of common sense. They travel the world together now, and will continue to. Sheeehh.
The negative needs to stop whining within this blog, or at least get some cheese to go along with the whine in here.

Bill Clinton has long ago proven he has no shame. He will say or do anything to get what he wants. Have we heard Hillary object to what he said? She and he are a team. Does anyone in their right mind want years of this team again running our country?

And then the Democrat who will replace him will start cleaning up the mess he made.

What mess? A safe nation again? I have not heard of anymore embassy bombings, no more Navy Ships bombed, and NO MORE BUILDINGS in the USA being bombed. Those things don't happen when you keep your enemy on the run. Not to mention the domestic side unemployment the lowest in a decade, Inflation under control and some of the lowest interest rates in our history. This will all come to an end if the TAX and SPEND LIBERIALS get in office.

President Bush Senior has it right, go home Bill and lie to us no more.

It is so funny to hear Democrats talk about corruption…but at least it comes from experts. Harry Reid, scandal selling government land cheap to a friend. Nancy Pelosi Violating enviromental laws in her husbands development…all covered up by the drive by media. We have Abscam specialist "Jack (our Marines are murders) Murtha, felon Alcee Hastings (Bribery) of Florida and the ever Famous Barney ( I didn't know my boyfriend was running a brothel out of our apartment) Frank. This is the Democratic leadership….members of Nancy Pelosi's most ethical congress in history…..well, I feel better now…could someone please define the word "IS"?

Former President Bush still has a chief of staff? Chief over what staff.
And which bush are they referring to when they say "President Bush is exicited…"?
Worse type of politics. Print as much crap as possible and then flip a coin to see whose paying attention.
Heads says All of the Bushes and Clinton's will still have their gubby paws on anything that has to do with our country. They did their time – move on.

The Clinton's; Democrats tried scrubbing, soaking and even flames but you still can't get that stain out.

The Clintons will continue to make one ill-advised comment after another because they are never held accountable for anything they say or do.

And did you really think that the elder Bush was going to go along with this obvious jab at his own flesh and blood? The Bushes and the Clintons are both disgraceful, and it's high time we relegated them to the pages of history.

The Clinton's are doing the same old thing. They say what they think will get them votes without regard to consequences or impacts on others. Go Obama!!!

Bill Clinton may be a dog, but he's a brilliant politician. Of course he doesn't want to spend the next 4 years under scrutiny and unable to play around without being watched every minute. Anyone who can't see he's trying to deep-six Hillary's campaign is naive.

Yes, Clinton will accompany Bush '41 at the request of the next Republican President to maintain the strength of the USA under Bush '43. Now that makes sense.

How does anyone; after 8 years of this man and his inability to tell the truth about anything, believe what he says? Has this nation lost it's collective mind? Bill and Hill are crooks, the biggest to have ever lived in the White House. Accusations of rape, lost billing records showing up in their living quarters after two years, firing people to replace them with his cousin, money from China to line their pockets, two years getting his bone smooched in the Oval Office while terrorist were plotting another attack on America…it never ends with him and maybe soon…Hillary and Blll again. Lets stop the madness.

Wow. Are you guys getting paid to say this, or are you all really that dense?

Bill wants to do damage control on America's image abroad. Because of W's disastrous foreign policy, this country's once-favorable reputation in the world has been utterly ruined, so that damage control is in dire need.

HW, meanwhile, seems to be suffering from dementia in his old age, being "proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy", which it most certainly does not thanks to his criminal son's actions.

Bill speaks the truth. HW speaks of delusion. You guys… I dunno, but I hope none of you are voting.

Putin-Medvedev
Fidel-Raul
Bill-Hillary

Got to hand it to Bill Clinton for once, his political theater is certainly entertaining.

The only thing that can beat it is if Hillary manages to find a way to take the oval office.

Not good for the country, but I for one look forward to the entertainment.

These comments represent Bill Clinton’s undisciplined, arrogant, and self centered behavior which will be on display for the world to see during the election. He will not be reigned in despite the Hillary Clinton campaigns best efforts because his ego will not allow it. It will be very amusing to watch him during the campaign because he no longer has a compliant media that will ignore his half truths and he and Hillary still have not figured out how to handle the internet and Mat Drudge.

I am no fan of reality either Bill, but there are those times when we are bound by its constraints.

the elder Bush is right . In my opinion , these are the 3 best presidents in modern time:

Number One : Ronald Reagan , the great communicator , you gotta give him credit for Stared down the Evil Empire and won the Cold WAr for us . He is the Greatest .

Number Two: George W. Bush , the Gunslinger from Texas whose nerve is actually Titanium-plated , who got us the Missle Defense , Stared down Mad man after Mad Man such as Kadafi , Saddam, Kim Jong-il , Bin Ladin and the like.

Number Three: Bill Clinton , the Ivy-league , smooth operator from Arkansas , who got us into the longest economic boom of history .

Hats of to the gentlemen and the great jobs they did.

I guess Bush wouldn't do it even for the good of our country. He'd rather keep the hate going.

Kudos to the former president . He is right . There is nothing wrong with America's image . All who criticize Bush have to remember that :
1/ Bush is the one who pushed thru the missle defense that the nay-sayer said would not work , well, Japan has just shown us how happy they are after their successful test . The rest of the world will be too in the next decade , and Americans a generation from now can't thank Mr. Bush enough for that .
2/ Bush is the one who scared the heck out of Kadafi that Mr. Mad Man all of a sudden decide to drop his Gun (Nuke-gun that is ) and be our friend instead .
3/ Bush is the one who took out Hussein, thus relieved America , Irag and the rest of the world of another Mad Man fully capable of murdering thousands if not Millions of innocent people with a blink of an eye.
4/ Now , listen to this, Bush again , is the one who STARED down Mad Chairman Kim Jong-Il while NOBODY , Amrican or any one else , ever could , and see how polite Mr. Chairman is now , and I bet you that he will live up to his promise for the first time in last 2 milleniums to dismantle his Nukes , how about that for a change? .
5/ Bush is also the one who got another Mad Man , Bin Ladin to run for his life and though with the millions of money that he has, unable to freely rent an apartment and thus has to resort to Fox Holes in Afganishtan or maybe Pakistan instead .
6/ Mr. Bush is also the one who stood up to Congress for our Troops , thus allow them the chance to at least finish their mission and go home as victors rather than coming home in shame as our worth Vietnam Vets did . Remember folks , we were not defeated by the Vietcong , nor the Russian , we were defeated by our Jane Fonda, our John Kerry , our Arm-chair Generals who have neither the skill nor the guts to see a mission to the end , who rather called it quit and go home before long . Well, Anyone remember how our intelligent Senators all but 100% sure that the SURGE WILL NEVER WORK , well , at least they shut up on that for now.

To sum up my Points, disagree with Mr. Bush all you want but future generations give him the dues that a lot of us deny him today . Harry Truman was never loved in his days anyway , nor was Abraham Lincoln . I rest my case.

clinton lied again.

has bill clinton ever told the truth about anything?

itt appears that he wants hillary to lose. teach ehr a lesson for preaching to him!

Hey Bill…

You ASK first!

Off topic, but I feel so sorry for Elizabeth Edwards re; the headline on Drudge….

Yet another Clinton lie exposed. Buzzflash was proud of this one until it was reversed.

What a blunder. Bill should no better than anyone what a lousy, dishonest president Bush Part 1 was and you don't need a thouand points of light to point out that insinuating the senior Bush will somehow have a part in a future Clinton presidency makes many people uneasy. If he's gonna hire Bush 1, then he may as well make Bush some sort of ambassador. Let's face it, the only good Bush is a beer and when this arduously long Bush presidncy is over, no one wants a repeat.

I'd want to get away from the annoying phoney laughter as well, but traveling the world on America's dime is asking too much.
Go Obama

I can't believe I wasted my time reading these comments. I guess I just forgot for a few minutes.

Wow, the arrogance and concite is absolutely breathtaking..that Bubba Bill would consider such an idea in the first place. What on earth was he thinking?..the dems must be nuts to even consider Hillbillery for their party's presidental candidate, at this point.

Why don't the Clinton's leave politics and star in a reality show. These two just can't help themselves. Too funny. I bet some how the Clinton's and their hangers on, yes CNN I am talking about you, will blame Bill's lie on G. W. Bush.

um, is Bill or Hillary running for President??
I am also dumbfounded..if the wife (significant other) of the President has so much power, then shouldn't we be looking more closely at the spouses? Gee, I thought I was voting for a President, not the spouse. I'm a little put off that Clinton supposedly gave Hil so much power when he was Pres. We did not elect her back then (AND WE SHOULD NOT NOW OR EVER) What if the future Presidents give their spouses control as well?

It's a good thing this lie was not under oath. Then Clinton would have to lose his law license for another 5 years.

Bill Clinton has really been making himself look like a fool these past few months and it is killing his wife's campaign.

A new Iowa poll was just released, and the news isn't that great for Clinton. But stunningly, it's now Edwards who comes out in top, for the first time since August! Link.

So either Bill (let's face it, Hillary isn't the one running here) discussed the idea with George senior first, in which case George senior is lying, or Bill plans to reintroduce the draft, starting with George senior.

Which is it?

Hillary must really feel the heat from Obama now. She has Bill out warning the voters, "Be aware of that risk." If Bill were somebody with a little credibility, it might have helped.

If Bill were really as smart as he claimed to be, he should jump the ship now. President Obama may give him a diplomatic mission away from Hillary.

One big problem is that Bill is not a respectable former president. Sending him overseas won't help. On the other hand, Jimmy Carter is well respected as he is genuinely interested in the welfare of BOTH men and women.

Don't you guys get it? You are forgetting that Bill is way too intelligent to make such an egregious error. This is a well thought out plan. Under the guise of campaigning for Hillary, he does things ever so subtle to sabotage her chances of winning. He does not really like Hillary to win because he is afraid that she might overpower his legacy. Get it?

Well, hasn't the elder Bush been seen doing diplomatic work with Bill Clinton? They are just taking advantage of that real good. That's what the Bush family gets for carousing with the enemy in my opinion. A man can't pick up hot coals without getting burned!

Be kind to Hillary. Hillary did not authorize Bill's comments in as much as she did not authorize Shaheen's comments.

I've never seen an ex-president continue to dis-respect a sitting president like we've seen with Bill Clinton Whether you like Bush or not he's still the President, just like Clinton was at one time and we respected and tolerated his escapades.
The bottom line is the nation has Clinton Fatigue. Hillary is not a good candidate and everyone knows it, but them. When you stand Hillary next to a charismatic Edwards or Obama the decision is easier for me to make my choice. All the comments we post on these boards are monitored to get the pulse of the voter by the candidates. Its time the Clinton Camp "fold'em" and get out of the way of the other candidates

This rates right up there with—"I didnt have sex with that woman" I cant wait for more of his 'real' life commentary.

This is probably what really happened. Hillary knows the first thing she needs to do in the White House is to send Bill 'away and far away' from the interns. She knows Bill too well to keep him around so she made a deal with him.

On the other hand, Bill has to find an honorable reason for him to go away – on a so-called diplomatic mission. I don't know if taxpayers are paying for his trips. If yes, that would be even sweeter.

Obviously, Bill is lying again. Why would senior Bush want to go on a trip to listen to Bill bashing his own son?

Here is again a serious problem of having a dynasty. It's high time for a "Constitution Amendment that limits the presidential terms for the same couple". Our founding fathers had never thought of women working outside of their homes and voting or running for president.

If you compare Bill or Hillary with an uprising popular statesman, Dr. Ron Paul, he really should go hiding and stop spreading more shame around the globe. He is the most disgraceful former president in history. Let's not repeat what damage he caused during his presidency.

He can't be so arrogant and thick as to think Bush the elder would insult his own son to help Hllary out. Did he really expect silence from GHWB? To both questions, the answer is: Not likely. So, what's he up to? The man is devious, hypocritical and ad nauseum….but he is not stupid.

Come on people!!!!

Bill's comment just highlighted how out of touch the Republicans are: they are left to defend Bush's record on international diplomacy — they really can not afford to be seen as defending W's record and in forcing them to stand up on that Bill highlights his own glistening record on that front…

It's not a misstep…if we want change we DO INDEED need to repair our relationships abroad.

"Economy doing well, no attacks on the US soil, outrageous liberal legislation vetoed, etc…yet people still scream how he is so stupid".

Amazing. Blind Bush supporters totally ignor that he has increased our national debt by 50%. Mindlessly, they will complain anytime anyone talks about actually paying for it. How ridiculous can you be to think you are better financially if your debts increase 50%?

Bush completely failed to prevent the FIRST attack on US soil and there is no reason to give him credit for preventing another one. Is there ANYONE who thinks Bush is keeping illegal foreigners from entering our country EVERY day? This is the same guy who fought to turn port operations over to an Arab company, fought against increased inspection of incoming shipments, and hasn't caught bin Laden and "isn't that concerned" about him. Dream on while you read "The Pet Goat" with him!

Good. Bill Clinton must be going senile. That was about the most insulting invitation he could have given. George Bush, Sr. is a good guy and shouldn't have to put up with a sleaze like Bill.

He only tries what expedient for him. The guy has to take a poll before he can visit the john!
He's what you encounter when you visit a used car lot. A pure BS artist. But it does take some big balls to ask a father to stick a knife in his own sons back.
But thats good ol Bill!!!

Not sure why Bill thinks we need to have our creds improved in the world. Germany seems to like us now. The French Pres who was just elected campaigned on his desire to improve relations with the US, and has made favorable comments since being elected. Seems like the only countries that think the way Bill thinks are Russia(still pretty communist) China definitely communist and most of the radical muslim nations who really just want us dead. If you ask me our credibility around the world is in fime shape

He is doing the right thing, that is what he is doing.

When will this man learn how to stop lying? Will he ever shut up? His wife has no accomplishments, legislative or otherwise, other than standing by her man while he disgraced the White House.

It's just Bill Clinton being Bill Clinton. A great politician can lie with
a strait face, Bill Clinton is that great politician.

Those Clintons are not only arrogant but not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed to think Bush senior would approve of his trashing his son's presidency. Although Clinton failed to act on Al Quaida and Bin Laden after the USS Cole and the first bombing of twin towers … his administration was not another disaster like Carter's with runaway inflation, double digit interest rates and a ruinous foreign policy (IRAN) which we are still trying to recover from.

As an African American male I feel that this country is looking for any excuse not to elect a great black man as president. The Clintons can promote lies and constant racial slurs about Obama on CNN and nobody says anything. Bill Clinton has lied everyday and noone questions him on it. This country is a joke. I have noticed the media pusing Edwards for the last 2 weeks. This country will be in the same predicatment 4 years from now and the people will be begging for Obama in 2012. This country does not deserve Obama. They want to continue the political bickering. Hold your head up Obama!

SUCH TALK IS SIMPLY JEST, SUCH A MATTER OF BLOODLINE.HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED LONG AGO.

All those old rabid Clinton haters still around and posting here it looks like. Y'know every time I read the bile the spews from their twisted mouths I realize that there really is a qualitative difference between Rupublicans and Democrats. You people make me sick. I, for one, suspect that Bush Sr. did indeed make some sort of comments like this to Clinton but Sr. backed off when it was made public so as to save his son the embarrassment. Why do I think that? Because who in their right mind would be '100% supportive' of Jr's wretched excuse for "foreign policy" even if he were related? Who was it in Canada that called Jr. a Moron? You bozos, on the other hand, are the same ones who tore the country apart because of something someone did in his private sex life and because he would not just roll over for the dog and pony show you made of it – but you are willing to let boy George's countless real criminal offenses go. Oh, sorry if I offended. How's it feel.

You just gotta love lousy CNN for yet again giving slickwillie his out by mischaracterizing what he said as "an idea", "a suggestion".

Clinton said 'his wife "INTENDS" "is GOING to" send him and Bush…' – sounds to me like Clinton is intimating this has been set up and all that needs to happen is for his wife to be elected President.

So the Clinton News Network instead of calling it the lie it was now provides Clinton the ability to squirm out of the lie by saying "oh, that was just a thought I had".

Former President Clinton, please do not make stupid public statements that will embarass your wife's campaign or the Democratic Party. I am a supporter of your wife's efforts, but PLEASE, these few weeks are terrible. Between you and Shaheen, oh my god… what are you guys thinking?????

All I can say about Slick Willie is, would you buy a used car from him?

can any one say

TITANIC

Please grab your life vest the Clintn ship is SINKING

Better get off while you can and by the way

Got a big "O" life perserver to save

GO O Bama

I don't know if this is another Bill Clinton lie or if he just had some bad intel…

Is this the same Bill Clinton whose top aide came on FOX News, shortly after Bill stepped off his throne, to be asked; "So, what was the overall emphasis of the Clinton administration?…what was the general policy?
Wherein the top aide blurted out; "Policy!? What policy!?"

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing…I'm sure part of that was merely relief the sack of puss was finally out of office.

MIKE M LONG ISLAND NEW YORK LAUGH OUT LOUD WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT IS THOUGHT. THIS IS AMERICA, IF YOU LIKE A SOCIALIST GOV. EUROPE IS JUST A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES TO THE EAST.

AS an attorney in LA, I went to a lecture to be able to tell when a deponent is lying during a deposition or on the stand. BILL CLINTON WAS USED AS THE EXAMPLE OF A PATHALOGICAL LIAR. Go figure. This guy just can't help himself. I think he does not want Hill to win. Keep talking Bill, good job, we love you out here, especially when you prove why we don't want this queen wanna be back in the white house.

It depends on your definition of "H.W. Bush"

Bill Clinton spoke out of turn and owes the other Former President an apology for making this assumption.Hey who knows an apology might be the first sincere thing he ever does.

Besides the fact that Bush 41 shot this down, let's not forget what the question that Bill was answering…WHAT IS PRIORITY NUMBER 1 FOR HILLARY WHEN SHE'S PRESIDENT…

Hillary will lose the nomination, there's been a shift. I'm not even sure if Bill wants here in there.

Bill, you should have checked w/ HW Bush before making a statement that involving him.

It's a good idea, however, I don't know what Hillary has to do with it.

I mean, if someone other than Hillary gets nominated, would you refuse to go because it's not Hillary? If someone other than Hillary gets nominated, would you refuse to help them when asked? Is the only way to access to you is through Hillary? I doubt this. You like people. You like to be helpful. You like to build a good legacy for you.

NOW you know why Gore never asked Bill to help him with his campaign…he knows him better than anyone except for his wife. He will bring Hillary down. I predict this if Hillary looses doesnt become president she will divorce Bill.

Well, we now understand who will be in charge if Hillary wins. How desperate are these people for power? Insulting and breaking unwritten protocol against a standing president and speaking for Bush 41 without permission. They seem to thrive on a consistent palate of LIES, LIES and more LIES !!!!

At least all the other candidates try to tell the truth. Now he is volunteering other people??? Bill and Hillary seem to be hung on lies ('i never had sex with that woman', 'Hilary is the most experienced'). All the Magic from Johnson or whoever will not help!

Bill Clinton is a lying sack …his perverted partner is about to start with the ash trays and lamps…best he shut his diseased mouth. But it's too late as the syphlis is has already reached his brain.

It is so typical of the Republicans to value paritisanship over the good of the country. George Bush is one of the most respected figures our country has in the international arena. It is a crime he was utilized so little by his son's adminstration, and sad to see that he would refuse to help the next admistraton if it dares to change course from his son's failed policies.

Why is Bill Clinton such a dedicated lier? Why does he continually make thing up? Useless, needless lies????

It is sick just absolutely SICK!!!!

Excuse me while I go Vomit!

America continues be a beacon of hope for freedom and democracy, on what planet? George Bush is a tyrant, the Army is broken, the treasury looted, the Government is bankrupt, the world hates our guts, we are in for a fall.

How do you know when a Clinton is lying? His or her lips are moving!!!

I see the Bush family approach to foreign policy remains the same:
"We'll kill 'em but we absolutely, positively, under no circumstances intend to talk to them first"

Excuse me but shouldn't have the former impeached president waited until waiting till after the election to start salivating over how great things are gonna be? Hot dog! Man oh man…free trips, Air Force One, millions pouring in just for putting his hand out. Yes, life is good for the clintons. The hell with the rest of us! Too bad there's a messy election coming which will make their look like the idiots they are when they LOSE!

Excuse me but shouldn't have the liar, the former impeached, disgraced president have waited until after the election and then asked GHWBush if he wanted to go on a toot across the globe with him? It's too bad the clinton's have to go through a messy campaign…gee whiz, what's the matter with you people. Let's stick them in the White House today, why wait for a measly election. I'm glad GHWBush shot this stupid idea down..it's ain't happening!!!! Sheeeeeesh, I am so fed up with the clintons…

Hillary Clinton is still a candidate? What an ego. She's not only deplorable. She's also unelectable!

This was a foolish remark by Clinton. He doesn't slip up very often in terms of political strategy, but he blew this one.

Is it Hill or Bill running for pres?
It seems its Bill from what he sez.
He keeps opening his lips
And won't take the tip
That his wife wants him to give it a rest!

A Clinton lying, or stretching the truth? Anyone NOT surprised????

Bill Clinton isn't fit to clean the doggy dirt off of the elder Bush's shoes. What a toad. What a piece of garbage. What a CONVICTED LIAR!

Why is anyone surprised by this notion?
Bill will do anything (???) to get Hillary elected…therefore he will have access to more White House Interns. On a crazier note, she could ask Bill to be her VP…then she could see her demise and Bill will once again be our US President! Sure, another vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Maybe president Bush and Mr. Bill can stop off on the way to Europe for a quick visit to see Mr. Bill's daughter and try to explain/repair the damage Mr. Bill did to his family, and the nation, by lying about getting a BJ in the oval office with a 20 something intern.

Senator Clinton can moderate. She certainly must have a lot of experience in THESE matters of state.

What a \di-'skràs\
1. to humiliate by showing a superior showing
2. to be a source of shame to
3. to cause to lose favor or standing

I love how people say how stupid W is. How retarded he is, how bad he did in school. Thing is…if he is so stupid and retarded, then why does he keep winning? two elections won, and yes, it was proved that he did in fact win, Iraq funding secured, Economy doing well, no attacks on the US soil, outrageous liberal legislation vetoed, etc…yet people still scream how he is so stupid. I mean really, how can such a stupid person cause so much grief within the Dem party? How can such a stupid person keep the democrats at bay for 8 years? And if he is so stupid, then what does that say about the Dems that voted for Iraq that said they were duped into voting? Even Hillary admitted she was tricked (paraphrase) into voting for Iraq before she was against it, but not really against it, until Bill siad he was against it from the start, wait, no thats not accurate either. I cant keep track of those two. How can such a stupid person fool such supposedly smart liberals? Maybe he isnt so stupid afterall and actually has the Dems by the balls?? How else do you explain their support for the wiretapping, the war, etc…and now they even capitulated with the Omnibus bill that meets the Presidents funding levels?
wow, amazing how stupid he is.

I can't help but chime in again.

Former President Clinton tried unsuccessfully to help his wife's campaign. Sadly, he made "undecided" voters wonder about the legitimacy of her candidacy. Certainly his remarks about former President Bush joining him as ambassadors for the U.S., were premature, at best, and embarrassing for the Clinton campaign.

His remarks simply underline my decision to not vote for his wife. I'd prefer Obama first, but would vote for anyone other than Hillary in the general election.

Think, people, think!!

Hillary '08

Thanks, Bill Clinton, for letting us all in on exactly how crazy you really are.

America has always been "open for business." You and your equally sociopathic leswif have a warped perception.

By the way, when did you stop Arkaniciding people?

Perhaps it's time for His Slickness to seek the professional psychiatric attention he has needed for so many years. His poor wife obviously should be institutionalized as well. She is truly a pathetic character.

Clinton's answer was more than I could have ever hoped for!

And since when is someone who asks a question a supporter?!?!?! I'm not!

I think this is a deliberate strategy. Hillary's campaign is starting to sink like a stone now that Obama's numbers are rising. The contrast between his high road tactics and her devious old-style politics couldn't be starker, and folks just don't like the ugliness in this particular campaign.

Don't think for a moment that Bill Clinton is so stupid as to promise a major international relations initiative without having cleared it with George Bush Sr. It was just a fake claim. The Clintons wanted George Bush Sr. to disavow any such thing very publically and embarrass the Clinton camp. This is a very disingenuous ploy to have a non-Hillary reason why her Presidential bid failed "this time." It's all "Bill's fault", not Hillary's. This fable preserves her option to try again in four years.

you guys crack me up…maybe he said what he said because it was an idea they were toying around with, and bush is like yeah ummmm, no…darnit bill I told you we would talk about this later to the public…sheesh. Anywho, who gives a hoot, he said what he said, she said what she said, and bush is like I am tired of cleaning up my son's mistakes.

Hillbilly is getting to be as fruity and out of touch with reality as Carter and Al Gore.

In a few months be sure to ask yourself if you are better off, than before Dubya's reign of terror.

Hillary has staged another campaign event for her "Hilly Copter Trail of Tears" tour, this time carefully staging a "reunion" with her long-lost Sunday School Teacher in a firehouse in Iowa.

The event was staged to make it appear that Clinton was "surprised" to see her old Sunday School Teacher in the firehouse. The two hugged. The Teacher, Roaslie Bentzinger, even brought a photo of Hillary's confirmation class. Not a dry eye in the house! After all these years!

The event also provided an excellent opportunity for Hillary to expound on her religous beliefs (presumably contrasting them with Obama's). The entire staged event was started with a planted question about her faith. After Hillary exponded on her praying habits, the long-lost Sunday School Teacher came forward from the small crowd gathered.

The problem with the event is that Hillary and Ms. Bentzinger are hardly strangers, having met at a similar campaign event in April of this year.

Ms. Bentzinger is hardly an unknown retired Sunday School teacher living in obscurity, either. Ms. Bentzinger is a well-known regliious scholar and leader and even has a religious scholarship named after her.

Hard to believe Clinton did not recognize her in the crowd, considering they shared BBQ together a few months earlier:

Item Title: Presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., right, greets Keith Fraise, left, and Rosalie Bentzinger during a campaign stop at the rural Fort Madison, Iowa home of Eugene Fraisse on Monday, April 2, 2007. Bentzinger was Senator Clinton's Sunday School teacher when she lived in Park Ridge Il.

The "two for the price of one routine is getting stale."Billary" is so obsessed with circumventing the 22nd admendment and returning to office, he will say and do anything. Unfortunately he is weakening Hillary's image as someone capable of handling the job on their own.

Mr. Clinton's plan, announced on his own, relating to Mrs. Clinton's foreign policy if president is truly amazing. What does it say about Mrs. Clinton's leadership? Is she going to be a Bill Clinton robot? And, of course, do we really have a foreign policy crisis, or is it a manufactured "crisis" – typical of pronouncements by presidental asperants? Mr. Clinton must think that the American public is really stupid. Erin

"“wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy…"

See, Bush II is just having fun with us.

Start parsing, Bubba…

Lots of Bush-hating losers on this board. What are you guys gonna dow with all of your mindeless hate when Bush is gone?

Congenital Liar! He is a national disgrace just after his flunky, Al Gore. Democrats are a sad lot. Remember, he never got a majority of the American votes, so he is really a 'subset' of Americans. That subset is special. Merry Christmas!

Who cares about our image abroad? We are strong, they are weak. We are right, they are wrong. There is no moral equivalancy between the most generous country in the history of the world and third world hellholes. We have been bailing out our so called allies for generations and yet they never miss an opportunity to stick it to us or run their mouths about us. Bill Clinton was too busy getting nobbers from interns to worry about foreign policy when he was president, allowing AQ to blow up our buildings and ships and spend years getting the plans and assets for 9-11 in place. Why should we care what he or his power hungry wife think about foreign policy now? And why should GHWB undermine the excellent job his son has done in taking the fight to the crazies who would love to be blowing more of us up if only we would listen to the weak kneed liberals and back off the pressure we have been keeping on them?

The Clintons are idiots. Is anyone really shocked at this?

I like how CNN's headline states, "Bush nixes". That leads folks to believe that it was actually talked about or conceived at some point in time. The article clearly suggests that this was NEVER a possibility. But instead of calling a spade a spade, CNN covers the Clintons by spinning the title. Way to go CNN. Another "Diamond or Pearls" moment. The title should have been, "Bill caught revising history again."

Get out the vaseline, bj and hilary demand your attention.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the Clinton War Room tonight. Her Royal Thighness will be screaming, SCREAMING, at Slick to just SHUT HIS MOUTH! To catch that scene on video, and post it on YouTube. Priceless. It would be the most watched video ever! What an embarassment!

typical. another Clinton lie. surprise surprise.
with this family the truth is always their last priority.

Go Bill go. Keep talking.

Can Magic just say "washed up"?? Maybe then he can clearly understand what "rookie" means when reminded of his own career!! Young legs and young minds GO ALL THE WAY! Old players coach. Can you say COACH CLINTON? Magic is clearly on a losing team this time!

Bill Clinton:

a treasonous, inbred, lying scumbag?

Say it ain't so!

Who is actually surprised that the father of the Chinese ICBM program would lie to the American people?

CLINTONS, GO HOME!! Both are habitual liars. Bill can't wait until Hillary gets elected to the White House. Then he can get into another Intern's skirt. Hillary feels that the presidency is owed to her because she has to put up with all of Bill's affairs.

clinton simply looking for some new, strange tail.

this is why the clintons cant be trusted they are the quintessential
dysfunctional family who just dont operate like normal people

I think they should be allowed to go anywhere in the world they want. As long as everyone on the trip pays their own way. That would put a stop to it.

Please, dear God in Heaven, do not let Hillary Clinton be our next president.

Damage Control!!!

The two-party paradigm is losing it's potency. People are seeing through the charade. The elitists are banding together to save their sinking ship.

We always knew the Bushes and Clintons were tight like that.

yeah i knew president bush the son would make sure that his dad retracted that statement,,

Bill is a pathological liar, and a sociopath. If Hill were to get elected they'd have a special team just to keep up with all his activities. Spin, cover, deny, delay, divert, obfuscate.

Hey I'm getting sentimental, it would be just like de ja vu all over again. ( 90's )

this time billy boy IS inhaling

I am a Obama supporter, but a huge "Bill" Clinton fan. He slipped up by offering a glib answer. His biggest mistake was assuming HW Bush would actually return the "Katrina" favors as Bill helped pull Junior's arse out of the fire. But I'll bet you this: If the trip were to Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, daddy WAR-BUCK$ would gas up the plane and fly them, HIMSELF!!!
This really isn't a story. The right just took advantage of the slip up to create another diversion while simultaneously embarrassing the former president and current senator's campaign. TRIFECTA Christmas gift.

It appears that Bush Sr. also has his head up his, uh, in the sand. He should be very willing to help the Clintons repair the mess his son has made.

OOOPS! Bill did it again.

All u republicans want to say Bill Clinton is a liar well lets take a look into the guy we have in office now lied about weapons of mass destuction called this war a war on terror instead of telling the truth that its a war over OIL INTEREST in the region when MR HUSSAIN kicked them out do u think for a moment if there was no oil underneith that sand that we would be there fighting now i dont think so i think impeachment for BUSH & CHENEY is to good they need to go before THE HAUGE for WAR CRIMES AND HANG NOW HOWS THAT FOR A LIE FROM OUR POM POM BOY FROM YALE GREAT AMERICAN HERO BAHH

This is no surprise. Father Bush has never been able to come to terms with his own failures, let alone the tragic failures of his son. Trying to repair the damage his son hath wrought would be admitting failure as a father and human being, and this will never happen. The entire Bush family lives in a world of delusion and denial.

Bill Clinton would be wise to cut all ties with the Bush family.

Bush Sr supports all of Bush Jr's foreign policies? Did he forget that at one point he said that for us to remove Saddam would be to open a hornet's nest and he was proven right?

What? Bill Clinton was making it up? Bill Clinton?

Hey, everyone cool it with the criticisms of Bill Clinton. If we fool him by keeping quiet, he'll think he's doing the RIGHT thing for his wife and continue "helping" his wife. Ultimately, it'll result in the RIGHT thing for the country … a resounding NO vote for Hillary by the people when the time comes. SO, two rights won't make a LEFT.

Bush Sr. was not a supporter of the surge. He dispatched his operative James Baker to head the Iraq Study Group, which surrendered to all the Democrat members' demands, so as not to issue a fractured report. In advocating the Petreus plan, W broke with his father. His legacy of astounding success in turning around the Iraq War toward inevitable victory is a legacy his father has chosen to support and reinforce.

It's good to know that if Mrs. Clinton is elected President and she isn't up to the job Bill will be standing by to take over.
Of course that would mean all attempts to take out terrorists will be determined by focus groups to see how they poll.

"Bill is insuring Hillary's loss! What is he doing???"

He's doing all of us a great big favor, that's what. GO, BILL ! Screw the pooch !

America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yeah thats the impression we have given other countries in the last 7 years. Good one!

George Senior could do the country a far greater service were he and his wife, Barbara, to go to DC and take their son back to the Houston Hospital for the Criminally Insane in a strait jacket.

The enemy within mrs. clinton's campaign is no other than her husband. His ego won't let her be president so he is subconsiously saboutaging her campaign, or maybe by design. There's NO WAY he's not doing these stupid things on purpose. He knows she may share him with other women but she's not sharing the presidency. He knows that and this is why he's doing this to her campaign.

The balls of these Clintons. Don't bother to ask Bush 41 before you lie, I mean, make a statement like this.

I have HAD IT with the lying clintons! They heap it on, lie after lie after lie. And no wonder, we let them get away with it. Why shouldn't they lie if it gets them everything they want. It's no longer shame on them, it's SHAME ON US! Why are we so blind to the truth about these two immoral people. Do we crave financial gain as much as they do, after all, it's all about the money and who gets rich following them around. SNAP OUT OF IT AMERICA! Fame & fortune will come to the reporter who finally, finally stops licking the boots of the clintons!

Thats so dumb since dad Bush has been around the world representing US business. This is so gradeschool its dumb.

I mean honestly, is anyone out there really surprised by any of this?!

"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."
what is so hard to figure out about this one? bill made it sound like it was a done deal, and bush basically said that it was never discussed.

I understand Bush 41's refusal to do so, because it is embarassing to explain how bad his son has done to america in the international area.

Bush 43's international legacy is a shame.

WHEN we you Clintonistas wake up? This so-called run for the presidency by Hillary is really a workaround to a 3rd and 4th term for Bill. He just can't stand being out of the spotlight for any length of time.

Interesting, thre first CNN article used words like "said", "intends", in describing this so called trip.

The second article now says "made the suggestion" about this trip.

The next article will probably use the words " woke up from a drunken stupor" in referencing this trip.

Keep talking Slick Willy, all her opponents, Dem and GOP just love it.

Why are Bush Sr. and Jr. so scarry?

The way to get these UNGRATEFUL countries to like is to cut ALL foreign aid tomorrow. Watch them come begging to be our friends.

BUSH, CLINTON, BUSH,….C-L-I-N-T-O-N??? Give Me A Break. America We are better than this.

I thought she was for change now…..I'm confused. Hillary make up your mind. Is it experience or it change which you willing to work hard for??? I rather have Hope.

Bill Clinton is the greatest US President of my lifetime and Bushie is the worst. He is a warmonger and a war criminal. History will prove this in due time.

Bill just can't help himself. Hey Bill, next time you want George H.W. to do something with you, you might want to ask him first. Keep up the good work Bill. It's pretty bad when Hillary has to go around telling people what a nice person she is. What a joke. If you have to tell people your a nice person, YOU ARE NOT!

It doesn't matter what bill clinton says,,, RON PAUL's OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

The Clinton philosophy is a suck for Bill is a blow for freedom!

Add one sound spanking by former President who is a real gentleman!!!

OK, so Bill initiates the idea of extending the hand of bipartisanship and repairing our image on the planet and out come the Slick Willie jokes. There is no hope for this country. People all over the world must be rolling around laughing at us.

he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.
IS ANYONE SURPRISED, THE BUSHES JUST LOVE WAR AND LOVES IT WHEN THE WORLD FEARS AMERICA SO MUCH THEY FEEL THEY ALL HAVE TO HAVE NUKES.

I guess this means that Bill Clinton will finally STOP running down the USA when he visits foreign countries, right? His behaviour as an ex-President has been very poor. Why am I surprised?

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
BEST PRESIDENT EVER.

Posted By GRANT, EVERETT : December 18, 2007 4:53 pm

B. J. CLINTON
BEST PHILANDER EVER.

Didn't the American people kick George Bush, Sr. out of office after just one term? Thought so!

Not only will both Bill and Bush41 make that trip, but they will ride upon flying pigs, which will be abundant before Hillary actually makes it back into the White House.

What an arrogant comment by Clinton!!! But then, what do you expect from them?

Ignore the arrogance and the chutzpah and take what Bill said at face value:

According to Bill, Hillary's "number one priority" if elected president would be to send him on a world tour. Not taxes. Not the war in Iraq. Not social programs. Not health care. Not our energy needs. Not the environment. All of these, according to Bill, rank lower on Hillary's radar than sending Bill out of the country.

According to Bill, Hillary is an idiot.

I think we will not see a lot of Bill on the campaign trail for a while. Hillary thought that people's nostalgia for the Bill Clinton era would be a bonus.

Nostalgia works best when it is based on memories.

Putting Bill in front of the microphone just reminds us of "I did not inhale" and the lesser accomplishmnets of the Clinton White House.

Doesn't anyone think it is reasonable to be true to your constituents and principles (democrats can look that word up) than be "liked" globally? Please consider that some governments have "good"will not worth pursuing. Why do liberals worry so much about what others think?

Papa Bush must be so embarrassed. All of his children are such huge failures, especially as Christians. I liked Bush, Sr., but his children just have no morals or ethics. It pains me that he is constantly having to compromise his own integrity by having to make statements of support about W.

*****Question of the day:

If Bill Clinton thinks his wife is 'the single most qualified person for president in America,' isn't he by virtue of this saying:

1. there are no black men or women in the entire country more qualified than his white, very wealthy wife.

2. there are no Hispanic men or women in the entire country who are smarter than a woman who flunked her first attempt to pass the bar exam.

3. there are no Asian men or women who are more qualified than a woman who last year made a joke about Ghandi having worked at a gas station.

4. there are no lesbian or gay people in the entire country more qualified than a woman who says she wants equal rights for all, but cuts them off with a 'civil union' cop-out.

5. there are no disabled persons in the entire country more qualified than Hillary.

Get the idea–the very demographic these two use to propel their 'careers' are never a part of their lilly white upper class political machines or cabinets.

EXACTLY why this conservative (who would vote for Condi in a heartbeat) made America's only politically confrontative music CD-one that takes on Hillary, Congress, and the whole Ward Churchill crowd. One-of-a-kind stuff @

http://www.conservativemusiconline.com

If W has suggested that Al Gore accompany him on a tour back in 2000 saying to the country and the world that there will be no more shananigans in the Oval Office and the U.S. is open for business again, do you think Al would have gone? Of course not. I too have thought that perhaps – even subconsciously – Bill is trying to torpedo Hillary's campaign so when she loses she has no more need for him and asks for a divorce. That's Bill's out to catch all the women who have caught his eye on the campaign trail.

Sending Bush 41 is a bad idea, and a dumb thing for Clinton to say. Bush 41 said his son GW is "honest and decent", but he is neither, so both Bush's are partisan liars. GW should be on trial for his life because some of his crimes caused thousands of innocent deaths, foreign and domestic.

…So, in 48 hours, Bill has had to retract his hit on Obama, "I wasn't criticizing him", and now he's been caught out on the Bush/Clinton Post-Hillary-Victory world tour.

It's time for all of them to go – the Bush family, and the Clinton family.

I think Bush senior is a little to busy making millions of dollar in 'consulting fees' to foreign nations to get involved in actually helping out the USA. He's proud of the US's actions during his son's presidency???? thats just stupid!

W has done a great job. I don't care what the media says, he is a great President…..

LOL!! We dont care what the media says either, but the 70% of Americans who thinks Bush is a dope, now that I listen to.

Mr.Clinton has a bright idea as always , and by the way , I think he is the 3nd. best President we have had lately , you gotta give him credit for the awesome economy the 8 years he is in power and the 1st. surplus in a long time. With all that said , I think he needs to modify the mission a little if indeed Mrs. Clinton become pres. Not a goodwill trip , but a mending-the-relation and building-new-relation trip to countries such as :
1/ North Korean : to make sure the Mad Man do not go back to building nukes again and threaten the whole region again and to help the North Koreans who need the most help right now.
2/ Lybia : to make sure another Mad Man stays inline and continues to behave well and continues to renounce terrorism and also bring a US presence to the new terrorism breeding ground which is Africa.
3/ Poland , Czech , Japan : to make sure we have what we need to build the missile defense that will benefit the majority of the peace-loving nations against future Mad Men. Japan has already seen the benefit of it as they had just succeeded in their recent test.
4/ Irag: to capitalize on the tremendous success we have had since the "PRES.BUSH'S TROOP SURGE" . We finally have a chance to stabilize the country , begin to help them build their country to accommodate for a stream of returning people , help extract Oil so they can pay us back , establish a long-wanting-but-never-able-to-accomplish presence in the middle of the Middle East , right next door to another Mad Man and thus able to keep that Mad man in check.
5/ Taiwan: to help them with their defense against a Mad Country , China that is , from taking over the island-nation and thus threaten the whole region . Also , to help them operate new hardward that Bush has sold them recently and may be to sell them the Missle Defense such as we did with Japan.
6/ Afganistan and Pakistan : to keep Bin Ladin and his cronies and the Taliban in check.
These are the suggestions I think the next president will need to do , to make sure ,us as a nation, can capitalize on a unique opportunity to bring peace to the world by keeping Mad Men at bay and to not only give them carrots but also offer a few sticks when they do not behave ( as that is the only language these bullies understand anyway ). And all these bring to my Point : we would not be in this situation had it not for Bush's determination and shrew and skillful handling of these situations . Disagree with him all you want but future generations will thank Bush deeply for:
1/ Making North Korea give up its Nukes which no pres. is able to do .
2/ braving the storm to bring us a missle defense which the nay-sayers said could not be done.
3/ Scaring the heck out of the MAD MAN Kadafi so that he dropped his guns literally and decided to be our friend instead.
4/ Having the gut to stick to the SURGE which the Dem. said is a sure Failure , well, at least they keep their mouth shut now.
5/ Helping our allies and thus in turn helping ourselves in the case of Japan , Taiwan , Afganistan, Pakistan, Irag…..
Just a few of Bush's stellar accomplishments that people do not give him credits for . AS a Clinton's supporter independent voter , I have to admit that Bush is one of the best thing that happens to us at the right time. No other president could have got the gut to pull thru the criticism as he has , which should give him the standing in my rankings of 3 best presidents in modern time:

Number One: the great communicator , Pres. Ronald Reagan . No one can top his accomplishment of winning the Cold WAr.

Number Two: the Steel-will , gunslinger from Texas , Pres. George W.Bush , whose nerve is actually titanium-plated.

Number Three: The Ivy-league, the Smooth operator from Ark. pres. Bill Clinton , who is the smartest of them all and who gave us the longest economic growth in History .

Hats off to these gentlemen and Good Luck with the mission . Go america ….

I guess it just goes to show that Bill Clinton is a bigger man–*he* was willing to help restore the image of American around the world regardless of the president, why wouldn't Bush 41 look at it the same way?

hey bill i thought you were smarter then to ask any republican to do good for america and working people of this nation they got in this miss.

Ha.ha.ha.

Big mistake for Bill to bring to light the relationship they have with the Bushes. Now more then ever I want Obama over Clinton. Let them keep their friendship with Bush only not as my next president. My next President will not have anything to do with a Bush even if it is just a can of baked beans

I say EFF H.W. Bush. Didn't Bill help out his son's administration. Talk about ungrateful, and back stabbing. Bill was justified to assume H.W. would return the favor. I liked H.W., but if he keeps this politics first approach I will lump him in with the rest of the rePUKElicans.

One World. Independent and Proud.

Wow….you can see Bill is making up things everyday. People should listen to Obama and not Bill!! Obama is honest.

Boy. Nothing is going right for the Clinton campaign. It's like witnessing death by a thousand lies….

Bush 41 should have reciprocate what Bill Clinton has helped out in the Katrina and India projects.

Well, when Hillary becomes president, just ignore these two Bushes.

LOL! Now with PIE ON HIS FACE…does th!e Nation understand WHY Bill Clinton should never be allowed BACK INTO THE WHITEHOUSE….either as First Husband or even VISITOR! GOOD RIDDANCE AND LET'S BE SURE THAT BILL CLINTON DOESN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE EVER AGAIN…GO BUSH AND the GOP!

The Clintons make me want to puke.

How rude is Bush 41! Bill Clinton helped his son out in the Katrina and India disaster projects, and Bush 41 does not reciprocate.

Well, when president hillary gets into office, just ignore these two bushes.

Hey JC –

"YIKES!!! What a load of crap! This shows EXACTLY why the Republicans are going to be ousted. They spew deceitful, malicious and outrageous propoganda BETTER than any of Hitlers experts EVER did." I agree, but the only difference is "WE AREN'T BUYING IT ANYMORE! Maybe there are a lot of "political types" on this thread but I'm just a normal young person and I can tell you that all of my friends are on to the lies. Bush has made the GOP a joke.

Better if they send former president Jimmy Carter. He is held in higher esteem by the rest of the world than Bush 41 or Bill Clinton. It is odd that Carter's own country doesn't have that view. Must be because he is an Evangelical Christian and a Democrat.

Of course the only two flies in the ointment is that: (1) Hillary needs to get the Democratic nomination and (2) she must win the general election.

I am confused as to why former president Clinton would make such a suggestion to include former president Bush. I always thought of Clinton as a brilliant man but if his wife were to become president and such a mission a reality, in the context of its objective, it would be an acknowledgment of bad government on the part of Bush's son. Bush the father would never undermine his son like that.

Senior wholeheartedly supports what Junior has done? Now I KNOW stupidity runs in the family.

Bush 41 knows that Bush 43 has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster as president. Anything his press people put out there merely obfuscates his true feelings.

Bill Clinton couldn't stop lying if he tried. When he was president the World didn't like Americans any more than they do now. This is just a democrat lie they like to spread around like manure. Hillary might be liked by the Communists of the world since she is a Communist also.
\

Bill is OBAMA'S ACE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!

GO BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness knows something has to happen to restore our reputation. Why NOT send the two chosen by W to represent the USA in past overseas jaunts?

These clintons have lots of guts, as we already knew!!
How amazing that the Bil would even talk about this without consulting with the First President Bush. By the way, they will not be at the White House anytime soon!

Mary Abaz – Brasil/USA.

Bill Clinton and his tricks, trying to please the voters with whichever way possible, thinking that voters are dumb. This should be headline, how many more false statements is this country going to digest from the clintons? It’s time for OBAMA. OBAMA 08!

Who decides what news is worthy to be written and shared with the public? The past story on this topic (about how Bush (Sr.) had supposedly agreed to travel with Bill Clinton on a “reconnaissance”-style mission to rebuild America’s name) was clearly a blatant lie intended to further bash the president of the United States while at the same time promoting the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. How can the already biased news sources maintain their viewers’ trust if they not only present information that highlights only one side of the issues but also broadcast reports that are so misquoted and full of misinformation that they border on deception. The dishonesty in today’s media is startling. The prevalence of mainstream news being used to push agendas causes accurately informed viewers to cringe at the carnage littering the mass media outlets in the name of free speech. How can the providers of such obviously erroneous news maintain any personal integrity for themselves or their trade?

i voted for bill clinton twice and i am happy i did but now i am getting angry.
he is running for office with hilary and his suggestions are out of line …

dirty pool is the name of his game

I tried several times to write something. But I couldn't think of anything good about GB. How could anyone compare him to Bill Clinton is beyond me. GB has done more to hurt America than any person in US history. Clintons little scandel pales in comparison to GB. I would think daddy Bush would be willing to help this country in any way he could. But I guess he just doesn't want to see the mess his son has created.

Am I the only one to see this as a setup by Clinton of the Bushes and Republicans? Clinton knew Bush 41 was going to defend his boy, but how in the world he can say his son is doing a great job and that he is happy about it is beyond me. He is nothing like his son but obviously blood has blinded him to the truth of the mess his son has created for the US and the world. By ignoring the facts he comes across as just another Republican, completely uninterested in doing the right thing which is to restore this country's standing and credibility in the world. This is just more evidence the Republicans need to be retired so that responsible, reasonable, competent individuals can heal, renew and govern this country.

When will he ever learn?

I think the Slickster should go it alone and make the trip. There are so many YOUNG ladies he can meet and seduce all at tax payers expense like he did before. At the same time it would be a wonderful opportunity for "President" Hillary to back her moving van up to the White House filled with all the treasure and booty they pilfered from there when they were last evicted. American voters just can't be that stupid to enable such a clown show!

Man, yet another misstep for the Clinton campaign. I'm a Bill Clinton fan, but he's helping Hillary zero right now. I was surprised when he originally made the comment — pretty brazen, and it has turned around and bitten him. Not good.

I really enjoyed watching him on tv the other night. It's refreshing to see someone speaking off the cuff and not using cue cards like some kind of robot. Who cares what Bush Sr or otherwise thinks anymore anyway?

The idea of a Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton dynasty is unimaginable. When did we become a monarchy? This may be unconstitutional. Two terms then passed on to the wife? The wife (Hillary) was in the White House during the first two terms and I must assume that since she claims that she is experienced from those years (why else is she not releasing her records) then she must have been the "co-president". Or maybe she's lying again; which would mean she has even less years experience than Obama's 10 years plus as an elected official. Then again, experience is not the issue, I'd take Barack's judgement over Hillary's anyday. When are we going to wake up and stop this!!!

What about the image of America when Bubba Bill "didn't have sexual relationship with that woman?"

It was disgusting … I need to take a shower …

Having CHillary as Prez is absolutely chilling. This is a woman with zero moral compass, with such an overwhelming passion for power that she remains wed to a serial philanderer, with a stated intent to pass a scamnesty bill for the millions upon millions of illegal alien invaders (and that, of course, will allow them the drivers' licenses that she NOW claims she will deny them as 'illegals'), with the intent to turn the independent USA into a socialist version of Cuba, and with an absolute aversion for telling the truth. And besides all these terminal flaws, hasn't she – as "co-president" already served and can't be "re-elected"?

Is there any clearer evidence than this latest bungle by Bill that he wants to be co-president with Hillary? Why in world isn't Hillary the one to say what the first thing she'll do as President is? The Clintons are so second rate, it's embarrassing. Enough already!

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
BEST PRESIDENT EVER.

Thank goodness. The last thing a Clinton Presidency would need would be for a Bush to be involved in her administration, especially with regard to foreign policy.

Shot down? I don't think so! I don't really care what Bush Sr or Jr has to say about anything anymore. His comments at the end are just laughable, what planet is he living on? Get over yourselves…a new day is about to dawn.

What I don't understand is why he is campaining for his wife. Should the dog be out doing it herself? Why in the world would former President Bush help a democrat anyway…it just goes to show that the Clinton's are full of lies and will continue to be.

People, stop being so small minded. Regardless the motives of Bill Clinton, (and the stupidity of such an idea as this while Bush Sr's son is in office), let us admit that George W has been a disaster. Enough of the petty bickering on both sides. Will we never come to grips that this country and everything it stands for is in trouble and no amount of pretty speeches, guns, bombs, and human lives sacrificed will make things better in the world if there is not a change here at home? Lies, deceit and corporate greed run rampant and the only eventual outcome to this will be the demise of our beloved America. And what kind of a sewer are we leaving our children? Stop taking the mood and mind altering pharmaceuticals (psyche meds) and get real. Wake up before it is too late and realize the joke has been on us.

It was just a simple gaffe; President Clinton and President George H.W. Bush spend a lot of time together and they are friends. They even co-created a relief orginization. Bill simply thought his friend was on his side and would play ball; not really remembering that their 'enemy' is his friends son…

What is more pathetic is the knee-jerk love/hate fanatisism on both sides of the aisle… Grow up and quit being intellectually dishonest…

Why the old Bush has any thing to do if Mrs. Clinton is elected Bush junior the president has no diplomacy effective in the planet.

If Bills lips were moving he was lieing. What a piece of Crapola.

I find it difficult to believe that Bill Clinton even made such a comment to begin with. If this wasn't CNN I would think it is some make believe stunt to spew more bad publicity about Bill and Hillary. I support Obama as the democratic candidate. I find some of the moves made by the Clinton foundation difficult to understand.

to grace D. Washington right on. I'm lovin'it. but the serious side to all this is really sad for America. For any one to even consider those two, hill-billy duo. she says "provern leader – readiness to lead – clintons only lead the way to the darkest side of polotics that most Americans never see and hate to admit to lets get someone in our Whitehouse that we can trust. As much as I disagree with most of Obamas socialistic views he's still honest.With the hill-billy duo honesty, ethics, not there. they have no conscience never will admit guilt,only concern is to distroy anything outside of their little world of power, controll and to destroy just a game to them.

Wayne in Greenville, TX. You are an idiot. That is all

Is it 10 minutes to Wapner yet Bill?

I knew he wasn't so bright all along. Bill's a has-been….well, actually, in my mind he

Great idea but he should have checked with Bush senior first.

It is going to take a lot of diplomacy on everybodies part to repair the damage Bush two has done and all the neo cons.

To Wayne from Greenville TX. Shut up already with Bush needing to apologize. We can clearly see you can copy and paste and shoot down other postings, but do you have any ideas of your own? heh?

Haha! Now that's really really funny. I love how it ended with talk of him liking the Republican candidates.

Nice.

MEMO

RE: Clinton/bin Laden "Peace" Plan

TO: Boy Clinton

FROM: Your dear friend, Osama bin Laden

DATE: December 18, 2007

Dear Mr. President Clinton:

Now that the Bush crime family has further humiliated you and your beautiful wife Hillary, I just wanted to send you a note letting you know that Al Qaeda and I will always graciously speak with you and your beautiful wife Hillary to discuss ways to improve our relationship with you and others who hate the United States as much as we do. We also appreciate that you and your beautiful wife Hillary share our hatred of the Bush crime family.

Your friend always,

Osama

American people is not ready for lady president at this distrubing period of US history. Dems would wait for at least 4 more years before they can see the light at the end of the tunnel

Despites the self made polls. They're not true 90% of times. Money can not buy vote anymore nowaday

Oprah for secretary of state… now that is interesting and funny at the same time. Somehow though I feel like she could do a better job versus our current administration.

Of course the Bushes could never consider doing anything bipartisan for once. Instead of working together for the good of the whole, they place more importance on parties and labels.

Personally, I think the Clintons are old school and boring, but I think Bill has the right idea here when it comes to reaching across party lines.

I note that Clinton has the sense not to suggest sending that fool George W. as an emissary of cooperation and progress. Good lord, I don't think most places would even let the plane land.

This is at best immature, at worst delusional. Can you see these two back in the White House? I predict she will divorce him once she looses the nomination.

Also, exactly what would they fix – really – what would they do to fix our image and with who? Nobody can directly answer this!

Just Slick Willy being Slick Willy.

Hah! Clinton was so stupid about this.

You're not running Bill … shutup!

The guy who thinks the 1931 movie Wizard of OZ is about current events is ALSO voting 'publican. Makes ya proud of our country, don't it?

Thanks Bill and company. For the week ending December 21st, number of Hillary campaign backfires 5 out of 5….oh wait the week is not over yet, we still have 3 more days. Go Bill go!

OBAMA in '08!

Is this what the Clintons call Hillary's ability to "reach across the aisle"?

Judging by the righteous indignation being spewed by the plethora of mouth breathers on this thread, Bill was – once again – right on the money. Get used to it, rethugs.

That's okay. They'll be friends again once Bush Jr. ignores the next huge national disaster.

Can you say "Train wreck". What in the world is going on in camp Hillary? They can't go 24 hours without a negative.

Bill has not only wrongly inferred that America has been closed for business and cooperation under 'Dubya' Bush, but he has insulted 'Dubya's' father, GHW Bush. Starting under the elder Bush and continuing under Bill, America made economic outsourcing a priority so that foreign investors in America were merely looking to buy up real estate or invest in businesses that were already into outsourcing. Economic globalization has taken root and will not turn back, no matter what Bill promises that Hillary will do if elected president. We are now staring at a New World Economic Order under a One World Government, and with Hillary as president, America's economic and military superpower status is doomed. She is a socialist who will help make a NWEO and ONG possible.

Bill and Hil just need/want new furniture

How sickening ! Nothing for the good of this country , the Bushes forget that Bill Clinton helped them out when GWB looked horrible over the Katrina episode , but like then they won't lift a finger to help our reputation around the world after there son trashed it once again instead of bringing the country together they separate us further apart with there partisan BS. father like son !

Well, I guess what might be good for the country is not as important as partisan politics, for Republicans. I bet Bill would answer that call, if it were reversed. That's why we're getting rid of them!

"…the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

LOL!!!

Looks like somebody hasn't been paying attention to the world while his son was busy playing president!

"…he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

YIKES!!! What a load of crap! This shows EXACTLY why the Republicans are going to be ousted. They spew deceitful, malicious and outrageous propoganda BETTER than any of Hitlers experts EVER did.

What else is Bush Sr. going to say…

Aaaahahaahahahahaha! You got chumped Hillbilly!

Wow, this really shows that Hillary Clinton does not have very solid plans even though she keeps telling us she will be 'ready from day one'. If she doesn't even have simple details in place for her 'number one priority', what is she ready for?

Hillary is not a leader. She graduated from Yale at the bottom of her class (without any honors). She married the smartest guy in her class. She ran for senator in New York, a 'safe' Democratic seat. She can't run a campaign. She can't even define herself.

Blond Emily of DC, one only needs to read the response of daddy Bush to understand why Bill Clinton's idea is a senile one, and harmful to his wife's campaign too: Bill Clinton is unwittingly seeking to extract an admission from the father that the son has screwed up royally America's foreign affairs to the point of it needing to be fixed.

Everyone knows this is true; but not all truths about a son is going to be pleasant for a dad, who will stand by the son at even the cost of the truth.

Here we go again with loyalty to the party and more party politics. I'm beginning to think that politicians are running for their respective parties rather than for the interests of the American people. Is this really a democracy, or a modified aristocracy?

Only Bill and Hillary Clinton are dumb enough to believe that H.W. Bush (41) would be willing to trash G.W. Bush (his son – 43) to help Hillary capture the nomination.

Bill and Hillary think everyone is fixated on her desire to win. She fails to realize it's her own personal problem.

We're not all trying to move heaven and earth so that Hillary's lifelong dream of being president can come true.

Hillary is so focused on Hillary and she is so obsessed with becoming president, how could she possibly care about average Americans? She can't. She's only pretending to care.

Well, if any of you wanted an example of what Hillary in the White House would be like, here you go. It will be Bill saying one thing, Hillary saying another. Then, they will pick whichever one fits the popular opinion of the minute.

CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

Slammed that two-timing liberal scum in the mouth like I predicted. Good Job President Bush. Put this idiot in his place. And well said. W has done a great job. I don't care what the media says, he is a great President. Terrorists on the run, sound economy, two countries liberated from tyranny, a safe homeland, North Korea stopping nuclear program, Iran on notice, a real hope for peace between Israel and Palestine, Libya disclosing nukes… And all with a positive attitude and a ready smile… Love ya W!

Bill needs to calm down in a retirement community somewhere … the more he talks, the less I want to vote for his wife …

After 7 years of the Bush White House's total lockdown and manipulation of information, it is sad to see hillary's campaign run the same. I know that she wants to be perfect. I know that the press has been hard on the Clintons. But, I think that Hillary is already showing to be the same as a hyper-controlled Bushy, though of a different color. I wish she could try to be different – even take some risk – but appear as more real. The medium is the message. And her medium appears too controlled to be open to new ideas. Chili-Time david,magic johnson is doing it for you.

Mr. Anderson is a liar and Mr. Clinton has been accused of rape. I don't want either around anything of my family.

Comrad Clinton is just taking a page from the Soviet Union under Lenin, Stalin,Kruchev,and all the others including Hugo Chavez and Castro,"Controll the Media" and you win. Eventually all the lies become truths, written in scholl books, and then the Clininists have won. Not one journlists has the cajones to really tell the American people what is actually happening in the reporting of Comrad Clinton.If the light was really shown on Hillary1) record the late night phone calls,2) print the conversations when the pressure is applied BillHillary will not be able look the American People in the eye. Its a shame none of the so called "objective" media will report the truth about BillHillary.

Bill needs to shut up and go to Africa or something until after the Iowa caucus. He is messing stuff up for Hillary. She's the one that has to answer for the stupid things he says at 4am in Iowa today.

HILLARY '08

Both Clintons are naive and inexperienced.

Hillary Clinton can't even control her own campaign. Why in the world would anyone consider voting for her?!?!

Hillary came to mind over the weekend as I watched the Wizard of Oz. Hillary is the Wicked Witch of the West after the ruby slippers. The flying monkeys seemed loyal to her (the media), but after the Wicked Witch of the West went into her meltdown, they all cheered because they were free. Now that's when they made good movies that always seem to come back and reflect what is going on now. I can't wait to get rid of the Clinton's once and for all and sit back and watch the meltdown…..

MUST BE A GOP TROLL ON BOARD

"Looks like Hillary's vast experience ruining the possibility for healthcare isn't resonating well enough with the public.

The experienced Obama, on the other hand, is no doubt evaluating Oprah for Secretary of State, wondering if she can type, answer the phone, and take shorthand accurately."

Posted By Dryden01, Redmond, WA : December 18, 2007 2:44 pm

Or maybe it's doublespeak from an Opie fan who hasn't had his afternoon nap yet!!

Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason. Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation. Last link (before Google Books bends to gov't Will and drops the title): http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?&isbn=0-595-38523-0

Now I thought Bill's comments were bizarre in the extreme, to be sure, but I say GHWB's spokesman is laying it on a little thick. I mean,

"he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

Come on. Even a dad can't be that delusional.

I Love Hillary!….maybe this will get posted.

So is Kaus onto something with his theory that key Friends of the Clintons are close to buying a couple of the big tabloids so they won't be running any embarrassing stories in the next year or four or eight?

Keep it up Bill. You're helping us elect the right man for the job–Obama!

Another spurned overture–this time by a man!

Hillary Clinton only emulating the Bush administration model with her attack-dog treatment of the press? I don't think so! Hildabeast has raised spinning, distorting, threatening and lying to an unprecedented level of art form previously achieved on once before – by her husband, Bill Clinton, when he was president. What your article tells us is the media is scared to death of the Hildabeast, and doesn't have the guts to cover her like it should. One can only imagin what would happen to the fourth estate if, God forbid, she ever became president.

Don't you people get it? Bill Clinton said former President George H. W. Bush will help fix the damage done to America's reputation by his son, knowing full well that he wouldn't do it. Then when George H. W. Bush says he won't do it, who is it that is going to look bad?

Is it going to be Bill Clinton? No. Is it going to be Hillary Clinton? Again, no. It will be George H. W. Bush. You guys may not like the man, and you may not want to admit it, but Bill Clinton is a very experienced professional politician, and he knows exactly what he is doing.

Wayne, we'll see just who the successor is. If the GOP can get Romney and Huckabee out of the way, they might have a chance especially if the Democrats are dumb enough to nominate Clinton, but which Clinton is running? Oh, would you come get Ron Paul while you're at it and take him back to Texas!

Sorry, but no matter whether you agree with Bush, and I don't, the Constitution's quite clear on this.

Wow. Junior achied his goal. Dad has officialy said on the record he is "proud" of his boy.

Now can we stop killing non Chrisitian brown people around the world?!

Here we go again…Bill Clinton ("i never had sex with that woman") out and out lies about the father of our President concering a diplomatic trip should his wife become President. I want to know if the main stream media will hold Bill accountable this time for his lie.

Hey Ron from TX,

Yeah it sure is an embarrassment…. to the Bushes (and to this country) that we have to even think about asking daddy to help clean up W's mess.
Not surprised Bush 41 said no. Saying yes would have been tacit admission that his son is a screw-up. If W was my kid, I would distance myself from him too.

Well, it doesn't sound like GHWB ruled it out, and predicatably, he supports republicans. Sounds more like he danced around it, like any politican would. Wow, this story is much ado about nothing, just like 90% of these useless blogs. Keep up the good work, CNN. ROTFLMAO

"…as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

That's debatable.

More evidence that Hillary is just another corporate republican wearing the costume of a corporate democrat. Every time she and her husband open their mouths, they lie a little bit more.

Mrs. Bill Clinton will not and never will be President of this Republic called the United States of America.

<<>>

And "w" (the idiot-in-chief) did something about health care? Oh that's right, he did. He denied it to American children.

I know this has nothing to do with this topic BUT I read all these articles about this and that candidate raising millions and millions and millions for his/her campaign and it seems like such a huge WASTE. Especially for those whose runs go NOWHERE can you IMAGINE if some of those millions went to helping our economy, our needy people in OUR country. If people and business can donate so many millions to these nobodys running for president why cant they do it to better our country?? It just makes me SICK. I wish had the millions to waste on worthless politicians, oh but wait, im not that stupid. Where are our priorities??

Just like his son, NO ACTION for the American people, LIKE THE KATRINA VICTIMS. Let their bureaucratic bozos screw over the future of the lower and middle class. The Bush family is in dear need of compassion for his fellow man. Aristocrats can't take it with them.

So old man Bush is so biased, he will not help the country out unless another repuke gets into office.

Sad….

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!

THIS IS GETTING INTERESTINGER AND INTERESTINGER !!!!

WOW!

Yah, yah, blah, blah. Since when is this news? The reporter who commented was correct; it's hardball, always has been. Could it be that an overly liberal democrat leaning press is stunned that one of their own would become combative? However, sooner or later, there must be substance, or the newspaper/new outlet looses readers. Gee, could that be happening? The quote that Kerry could have won the swift boat battle is bunk. As they say in court, "the truth is the best defense against libel." Edward is a liar too, and there was not way out of it or he would have released the necessary information to sink the swiftees. The Clintons are liars as well. And unlike 1992, the dissemination of information has too many outlets to control. If she can't figure this out, she's not only a liar, but she's stupid as well.
Give me Obama anytime!

Either this is political mastery at its' best or the biggest political blunder of the week?

To a Hillary-supporter, this is political mastery. To re-ignite the Clinton vs Bush mentality, in hopes of getting other Democrats and Independents fired up about GW Bush's poor ratings, and then throw in Hillary's presidency at the fix.

To the rest of us, it looks like the biggest political blunder of the week. GH Bush Sr. would never betray his son and Republican party like that. The Clintons are caught again lying and deceiving the American public, AGAIN! Oh the shame!

Obama in '08!

given the track record of the republican party, i'm shocked and in awe that anyone would even consider voting for one of those clowns.

“President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for president, and looks forward to discussing their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.” – COME ON – LET'S GET REAL. DOES HE THINK WE WERE ALL
BORN YESTERDAY?

SEE BILL YOU ARE JUST TALKING!!! TELLING THE A WHITE LIE!! Did you even ask the elder Bush before you put him on the spot like that? NO! Why? Because you'll tell folks anything to get them to vote for your wife. You should be ashame of yourself to put a REPUBLICAN hanging on bait for your wife. When I first read this I was like "WOW!! Impressive! How did Bush sign off on this?" But now I see it didn't even go down like that you went out a limb and Bush broke the branch.

Read the book "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky – it's the Clinton/liberal playbook – Uh-oh, here he comes!

I doubt that if asked HW Bush would refuse a request from the President of the United States any more than Clinton refused to help GW after Katernia.

I feel that Clinton has a viable idea and that he just jumped the gun on this one and blind sided HW, with public attention that HW was not anticipating.

Exactly! Bush senior say he will not help America and the story is Bill Clinton assumed he would. Today's Republican party has sunk so low it is amazing! Priceless example: "How about we elect a President who WON'T inspire the worst in people, who WON'T encourage partisan bickering?

That would mean wipe out all the republican party, that is the only way to stop the partisan Bickering. We hate Hillory so don;t elect her so we can all get along? These people are nuts! No president in history has been investigated more with no tangable results than Bill Clinton. The hatred from the right is unprecidented. COntrast that with the criminal incompetant we have now. No president in history has deserved investigation and gotten so little as this idiot. Yeah BIll Clinton lied about sex and Heroge Bush Lied about treason, Scooter libby lied and commited treason. Scooter got off beacuse lying about betraying your country is not as big a deal as lying to a republican with hunt about sex. Republicans should be ashamed, they have earned it!

Did his wife go around cleaning up her adulteress husband’s image?
She sided with him against the women who were abused, (so much for women’s dignity).
It is dim-witted of Bill to think a father going against son.

So what?

It sounds to me like hysterical Republicans, knowing that their crushing defeat is imminent, are desperate to try and blow the most trivial things up into some sort of scandal.

Obviously (to anyone who has followed the news) Bill Clinton has many times responded to Bush 43's calls to help out with Katrina/Tsunami relief etc. I think that Bush 41, if called upon by the next Democratic President, will respond in kind.

Clinton has floated the idea of various notables (including perhaps Bush 41) being enlisted as unofficial goodwill ambassadors if Hillary is elected. Obviously, it depends on Hillary being elected, and it isn't going to happen until 2009 anyway.

Did anyone expect Bush 41 to commit two years in advance to something that may never happen anyway?

This is a scandal in the same way that hysterical far-right republicans made a huge deal out of "Travel Gate"

These people are really frightening. Their "media control" is only because they have plenty to hide. If God forbid Hillary gets elected one of the first things she will do is bring back the "fairness doctrine" to silence talk radio and we will be on our way to a dictatorship. There is more than enough reasons from the last time in power for Hillary to be rejected outright let alone be given the Democratic spot in 08.

Hey Mark from Shreveport … since when is infidelity a serious offense in this country? And what makes you think it's acceptable outside of this country? Have you even ever left Shreveport? Obviously not. Oh and incidentally, it is however a serious offense to have taken this country down the path that Papa Bush's idiot son has. Now that is a serious offense.

Is JD, Syracuse, NY suggesting that a Billary election is equivalent to the Katrina & India Disasters and the US will need a Bush to help recover?
He may be on to something there.

Fast forward 2 years and we'll see Dad and Bill doing the tour for sure. He may not care so much for the horrible impact dubya has had on this country, but the family name….oh no!! He needs to do everything he can to make the Bush name only a sad joke in the archives of history, rather than the retarded straw that broke America's back.

OF COURSE HE WOULDN'T GO, THAT WOULD MEAN ADMITTING THE FAILURE OF HIS SON AS PRESIDENT.

I voted for Bill Clinton in '92 & '96 but I can honestly say that I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. If she is the nominee, I will simply stay home. I simply want to have a democratic nominee that I can trust and be proud to call "our" president.

Does this country want to wake up to more lies, triangulation, and further control of special interests?

Just shows you exactly how the Bush family is nothing more than bunch of dirtbags!! They would sell their own country for a dollar…oh wait…they have already done that. Dirtbags one and all!!!

Well it was nice of Bill to cross party lines and go to Katrina and India as an ambassador of good will for George Dubya.

But Bush the first, a Republican only looks out for his party. Not surprised one bit.

Former President Bush basically stated that 'he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy"

This is his main reason not to 'support such a mission', he cannot admit his son made such a mess. Also, any favorable comment would be interpreted like supporting a Democrat in the WH, so it was nothing else to expect as response. Bill Clinton has simply challenged him, but the older Bush is what it is : a Republican.

To quote Nelson Muntz, "Haa Haaaaa."

BRING IT ON!

HILLARY 2008/2012!

SO MANY TERRIBLE THINGS WILL BE MADE RIGHT!

LIAR
I see now this is what we can expect from Hillary.
You and your wife are done.

hahahahahahahaha…..

another lie Bill is caught in.

Thanks Bill for a wonderful year!

Just cannot understand this. Hillary and Bill Clinton had all the chances in the White House for 8 full years to do something about HealthCare. But both FAILED miserably in getting it done. Period. So this new slogan of Agent of change by her campign is just plain dud, LIE and fooling Americans. Are the democrats so stupid not to see through the hoax of Hillary? Both Bill and Hillary were once in the WhiteHouse, don't forget, they had their chance already, while others did not. So why give another chance to the same Failed duo? Let us put up someone more capable to get things done for the country. Not Hillary and not Bill, who desparately wants to sneak in. When was the last time a Former President of USA got so involved in primaries for his wife, and attacked other honest democrats????

The elder Bush is too much of a gentleman, and has too much class to say what he really thinks about Clinton's suggestion. Pity. I wish he would tell everyone what a narcissistic jerk Clinton is.

Just the same way I will nix her this elections. I will not be fooled by this power hungery woman and get stuck the rest of my life….

I doubt that if asked HW Bush would refuse a request from the President of the United States any more than Clinton refused to help GW after Katernia.

I feel that Clinton has a viable idea and that he just jumped the gun on this one and blind sided HW, with public attention that HW was not anticipating.

Former President Bill Clinton getting called out on lying by another former President? How is this not the biggest story of the day?

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.
…..
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

Rest assured, Bush 41 will do the trip once Hillary is President. Right now, they have to issue such press releases as part of party obligations.

Even McCain and Powell will do that trip. They are all respectable individuals who know Hillary is strong and diplomatic.

Why is this a bad thing for President Clinton to suggest? Our image abroad has been hurt these past few years and denying that is just being out of touch with reality. I would hope that all past presidents will help which ever candidate is elected. President Clinton was saying what his wife's plan was to rebuild our image abroad. I hope all candidates have a plan to accomplish that. And I hope previous presidents can put politics aside to for the good of our country. President Clinton did that during President Bush Jrs term. Glad to see that divisive politics trumps national interest.

Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh!

Sorry i can't stop laughing at Bill, and the Hillary campaign for allowing Bill to open his mouth.

ah yes. More Bill Clinton double-talk. Thats what I said but that is not what I said.

Misleading works for the politically naive,
But lying is an insult to the politically savvy
Clintons do not seem to know the difference,
Bill! stop lying to the nation as if we did not have enough of it.

Bill should not assume that any back stabbing hypocrite republican would return the favor, the next time GW asks for his help he needs to tell him & the entire BUSH clan to get lost some where like the middle east since they seem to govern like the islamic leaders…This administration & the GOP are the most corrupt individuals in the entire world…VOTE DEMOCRATIC 08

Wait for it………….

Go Hillary go! Your the "bestest"!

Nobama 2008! I love you Bill!

We need you both in the White house.

The 90's were so wonderful and we were so loved.

I honestly don't know who I am more worried about mentally, the bible thumpers supporting Huckabee or the sheep that can't admit when Bill or Hillary blatantly LIE to our faces.

I posted on another blog that I think Bill is purposely trying to get her to lose, so he can "move on" and get a divorce.

Everytime he opens his mouth it hurts her. Maybe we shouldn't complain.

NO more Clinton's or Bush's EVER.

Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh! Hah Hah Hah! Heh Heh Heh!

Bill, Bill, Bill. This is very embarrassing for Clinton campaign. First Hillary slips up at the Philadelphia debate and he has been slipping ever since. Enraged Bill Clinton, tries to be the savior of Hillary's past two months of campaign sinking. Most political experts were not thinking that Bill's mouth would be the cons for Hillary but the political baggage he brings. Wow! If I didn't know any better I would think Bill Clinton was working for the Obama campaign. Thanks for lies, Bill! Politics as usual.

Obama in '08!

Really, who is running for president, Hillary or Bill? Do we need another four years of the Clintons. If the Clintons were to win, would we ever really know which president would stand up and speak; Hillary or Bill??

This is precisely why I love the Internet. It used to be a time where off the cuff comments like Bill Clinton's could fester in the minds of voters for weeks before a counter response came. Today you say something off the cuff and lesss than 24 hours someone across the country electronically backhands you and publicly tells you to STFU! I've never spoke to you about an around-the-world mission!

Haaaaaa….haaaaaa…
Is ANYONE suprised to see Papa Bush is not willing to go out and "mend" the ills of the world created by his progeny?

I can't believe how bold Clinton is. Another good reason why the "Clinton's" should not be in the White House again.

There's no doubt his sense of reality is seriously askew!!

John Edwards–on track with a strong agenda–wouldn't be such a dolt.

"He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton"

Someone is lying. Either Bill Clinton or GHW-Bush about this.

WHY does it always end-up into a he-said, she-said when the Clintons are involved?

FYI, like it or not George W. Bush has the final responsibility for foreign and domestic policy until his successor takes office on January 20, 2009.

Posted By Joseph W. Mathews, Manchester, VT : December 18, 2007 2:50 pm

And then the Democrat who will replace him will start cleaning up the mess he made.

Bill Clinton should be ashamed!!! He should also apologize!!!

Posted By Carl Belson, Boston, Ma. : December 18, 2007 2:28 pm

Before Bill Clinton apologizes for what he said, George W. Bush has to admit his shame for what he has done to damage this country, and apologize for being a worthless dirtbag.

Bill just wants to travel to countries where infidelity is not looked upon as a serious offense.

Former President George H.W. Bush handled this preposterous proposal of Bill Clinton's correctly. Polite "no go". former President Clinton knows better. This voter can't help but think it's a cheap political trick and does his wife's campaign no good and possibly raises questions of just which Clinton is running.

FYI, like it or not George W. Bush has the final responsibility for foreign and domestic policy until his successor takes office on January 20, 2009.

How is Bill going to back-track on this one? He HAS to be trying to get Hillary to lose this campaign!!

That would be fine with me. Any other Democrat gets nominated, I will support them. If Hillary gets nominated, I'm either voting Independent or not voting for President at all (I've voted Democrat my whole life).

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

So very, very typical of Bill Clinton who has more brass than anyone else out there in today's world….shame he doesn't have the good manners to first check with people before he says this or that about them.

On the face of this Bill Clinton claim, it appears that he must be confused once more about what the meaning of is is.

At best, it appears that the Clinton attempt to bypass presidential term limitations by installing his wife in the white house has gone too far astray and that he is having a sort of nervous breakdown by trying to enlist GHWB to salvage it.

He would have been better off trying to use Chelsea instead but would have had to wait a few more years till she was able to qualify by age.

Bill and Hillary are evidently going to have to satisfy themselves with writing the books they have already received millions of dollars for. The unflattering Drudgereport photo of the elderly Hillary suggests she should be checked for heart problems as she didn't look too healthy there.

Obama has their number and will probably not be inclined to have Hillary as his V.P.

Looks like Hillary's vast experience ruining the possibility for healthcare isn't resonating well enough with the public.

The experienced Obama, on the other hand, is no doubt evaluating Oprah for Secretary of State, wondering if she can type, answer the phone, and take shorthand accurately.

Well that sure must be embarassing for the Clintons! I've been waiting for Elder Bush to shoot down this idea ever since I first saw Clinton suggest it! How is it, exactly, that Hillary plans on working across party lines when even an ex-President shoots her down?

Oh, and I remember the reason Bill said health care failed: "Republicans were in a vote against [Bill]" phase. Well guess what, Republicans HATE Hillary, too!

How about we elect a President who WON'T inspire the worst in people, who WON'T encourage partisan bickering?

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.

Poor Bill, he was just tryinng to help his wife's sinking campaign. Oh well! I guest no matter how fast a lie can run, the truth always catches up.

Good try though

Clinton at least got some good news in state polls that were released today, including in places like North Carolina or Missouri where she either leads or is competitive. Full roundup of the 6 general election state polls released today is available here.

No Kidding!!! Former President Bill
Clinton had alot of nerve to suggest
that Former President Bush would have
even considered such a trip. It's the
cheapest of cheap shots against the
current President Bush. Bill Clinton
should be ashamed!!! He should also
apologize!!!

A clinton running his mouth when its clearly not warranted? Surely you jest?!

That family will say ANYTHING to keep up appearances. Hey Bill, this might be a foreign concept, but telling the truth is the best place to start!!

Bill is insuring Hillary's loss! What is he doing???
