[...] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive – Bill Clinton says Dems shouldn’t a…. [...]

Good going Bill. Good job on raising the expectations on her for the upcoming debates. Treat her like a hard-knock politician so Biden can squash her good. Let her drown herself. She burst on the scene quickly, and she will be gone just as suddenly. Easy come, easy go.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

Well Bill would celebrate with her!

…and who said they were attacking her? can someone please tell me when Obama attacked Palin??

Gee Bill, Maybe Sarah can run with Hillary in 2012.

Why did he have to open his mouth and give his opinion? Talk about being bitter. He can't over the fact that Hillary Clinton wasn't picked. Well let me give you some advice. Just SHUT UP! If you are looking to have her in a good position for 2012 you may loose the minority vote. I don't think anyone in their right mind will vote for her when she may just ruin Obama's chance to be president.

He's right but they won't listen, just look at all the hateful posts on this comment board along. You guys are helping McCain/Palin with this crap, same w/ the Hollywood attacks also.

With "Friends" like Bill Clinton, who needs enemies?

If he put half as much energy supporting Obama as he does defending Sarah Palin it would be good. This fake suppoprt he and Hillary are giving is sad. I will NEVER vote for a CLINTON again.

This is a CALCULATED move by Bill Clinton to improve his public image, which was severely damaged during his wife's campaign. The media have characterized him as bitter and vindictive. Now he's trying to repair that image. I guarantee that his publicist told him to do this so that he could continue to draw huge speaking fees, retain the shine on his presidential legacy, etc. BET ON IT. Bill Clinton does nothing that is not calculated down to the very detail….except covering his tracks when he's out cheating on his wife.

Me thinks Bill just wants to dip his cigar in her humidor.

"i did not have sexual relations with that WOMAN"

Well, I see all the little nitwit obamabots who have no life except to sit at a keyboard and bash Lovely Sarah are back at it tonight. What vile, rabid, ugly little people you are. Too bad your mothers didn't abort you little turds.

He was attacking Obama with all he's got, but now he is defending Palin. If I read Bill carefully, I think he has the hots for Palin. The Republican Party does not need Bill Clinton to defend Sarah Palin!

Take your hypocrisy and scram!

I can't believe anyone still takes "Moose Girl" seriously. All she does is get up there and screech and wink and introduce Grandpa at the traveling wacko show.

All of this is just a whiny distraction. I hope when she is impeached for her role it Troopergate she can get her old job back as part time weather girl at Channel 2 in Anchorage.

the only experience Obama has is running for political office and spending tax payer money as an "organizer." we'll see in his presidency that all "change" is not created equally

SATIRE?

I think Bill is eluding to enough of the disgusting inuendo and smearing.. husband insestious with daughters, hacking and posting her private email, saying her only qualification is that she hasnt had an abortion..

I dont know who to support but cheers for Bill standing up like the party leader he is and aksing it to stop!

Why shouldn't she take the heat like every other candidate. She sure can dish it out. Sorry Bill, but coming from a 55 year old white female, I say she should be treated just like everyone else.

OK. Are we somehow not to know about all the lies ?.people are not supposed to get upset about this? Thank you Media for exposing her.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Palin who?

As far as I've seen, Dems have pretty much completely steered clear of even mentioning Palin, because they know very well that would be a stupid move. Why is Bill suggesting that Dems are attacking Palin? He's totally sabotaging the party. We don't need him.

I hate to say that I for one cannot stand Bill Clinton's smug demeanor when Palin/McCain and Obama stand.
Of course you support your wife Bill, we get it!
If you can't "party up" get off the road. That is the first GOP rule: Party Up!

Bill's right. No need to say anything bad about Palin. The target is too easy and distracts from the issues. It just makes one look , pick one, sexist, juvenile, small, and Atwater/Rovian (or just stupid).

Mining the issues where Palin is on record reveals all we need to know to bring to the discussion: left Wasilla with a deficit by funding an NFL-sized hockey arena when the inadequate local library serves a geographical area equal to West Virginia; charging victims of rape for the rape kit used by police to gather evidence; having a degree in journalism but advocating suppressing freedom of speech by wanting gay/lesbian themed books from the library (and attempting to replace the librarian); supporting creationism taught in public schools as science; opposing abortion for victims of rape/incest; depriving teens of health facts necessary to prevent STDs and teen pregnancy; cutting funding for special education (sorrythere, Down syndrome children–that's your 'friend'); COME ON FOLKS, ADD TO THE LIST–IT'S ALL ON RECORD!

Get smart–stick to the facts. We don't need to sling personal attacks. No one can help who they are related to or control their every move. The truth will set us free!

here you go again Bill! Insert foot in mouth. You still can't stand the fact the Obama won the nomination fair and square. You are just not over it.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for working with the Bush family to deregulatie the financail institutions and thanks for NAFTA and CAFTA too!

Excuse me ………what was it that Bill said to Obama after he was attack from folks about what he said about Obama?

bill clinton is so correct. people can relate to gov. palin and her family. i am glad is speaking out against the sexist treatment gov. palin is being subjected to. hillary had to put up with it, and he can see they have a new target now. thank you president clinton for having the courage to speak out honestly.

NO WAY! NO HOW! NO PALIN!

Bill is getting old. Obama got this Bill. America knows Palin is a fake and dumb and doesn't care about women rights. Americans aren't stupid.

She is a good choice for the GOP ticket, but not a good choice for this country. McCain/Palin…..no how, no way!

bill shut your mouth if you have noting good to say! both you and your wife is a looser.

And we all know how sensitive Bill is to women. HA!

Where's his self-righteousness about Palin's trivial, dishonest attacks on Obama?

You're old news, Bill. Deal with it.

"Why say, ever, anything bad about a person? Why don't we like them and celebrate them and be happy"

What?! Please…as if Bill never said anything bad about Dole or Bush 1…or Obama.

When the McCain campaign is personally attacking Obama with lies and smearing Biden, and the Obama campaign has had a recent misleading ad attacking McCain, it's pretty sexist to pick out the only woman on either ticket and say "don't attack HER!" as if women should be held to a different standard in politics. Especially when she has received the least and lightest attacks lately of all the candidates.

Oh, I forgot, you want McCain to win so you're trying to suggest that the Obama campaign is disrespectful to Palin/women.

I agree with him but I haven't heard/read Obama say anything negative about Palin. He reacts to McCain's silly lies and should continue. Now the surrogates are another matter but Clinton is wrong to suggest that Obama and Biden are attacking Palin because I just don't think its so. Of course, by suggesting it he implies it is happening, keeps the Palin folks riled up, and begins the HIllary '12 campaign. They don't call him slick for nothing.

As an independent I really didn't like President Clinton….well I stand corrected on that. He was a great President….it took Bush for me to see that. God help us if the GOP wins. Those arrogant, intolerent Republicans have changed my whole thinking. Go Obama!

Unless the media is willing to take on Palin for her outright lies, than what she says is left there as truth. Unless the media is willing to step up and quit with everything must be balanced it looks like both sides are equally at fault.

The only option is for at least the surrogates to get our there and call her on her bridge, her lies about international "travel" her fiscal incompotentcy leaving a debt free town of less that 7 000 people with a 22 milion dollar debt…the list goes on. It was only then that the media did start investigating.

The irony is she keeps lieing!! I just shake my head wondering what goes on in the "bus" when they make this up!!

The other facet to the experience debate that the right doesn't want to talk about is the EIGHT YEARS Obama was a state senator.

BILL GETTING HIS SIDES CONFUSED AGAIN.

HE HAD PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA.

SOUNDS LIKE HE IS WORRIED ABOUT AN

OBAMA WIN HERE. WE WILL ONLY CONSIDER

HIS WIFE AFTER 8 YEARS OF AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION,

AND ONLY IF WE ARE CERTAIN OF THEIR SUPPORT.

I totally agree that Hillary would've been the perfect choice for VP…
She carried nearly 50% of the delegates, and Obama carried about the same. They easily would have the election all wrapped up now.

He was betting he could win the highest job in the land– However, if he loses, he'll have the biggest FALL of his life…. back to the lowly first-term Freshman Senator he was when he started. I think he blew it!

So Bill is already positioning for 2012; that was pretty transparent.

Thanks but no thanks. She put herself out there, so she will get the same treatment as the boys.

DOES ANYONE EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM BILL CLINTON………."I GET WHY SHE'S HOT OUT THERE"….ONCE AGAIN, BILL'S NOT THINKING WITH HIS HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER…..

Nonsense. Of course you shouldn't attack her personally (only Republicans do that to their opponents), but I don't see why her policy or her record – or her refusal to be questioned about them in the first place – is not up for criticism.

When it comes to anything related to Hillary Clinton, Bill is not a reliable source. Even CNN's "journalists" should know what a conflict of interest is. Yet they still source him as a viable third-party source. If I showed that kind of journalistic integrity when I got my degree, I would have been expelled.

WHY ISN'T BILL CLINTON CAMPAIGNING FOR OBAMA?

IF HE WANTS THE DEMOCRATS TO WIN, HE AND HILIARY
SHOULD BE A LITTLE HARDER FOR HIS PARTY.

Yeah, let's stop attacking her and look into tony rezko, ayres and rev. wright. There is alot that we can learn by a candidate by the people they hang out with. By the way 4 years of Obama as President would be like 4yrs. of rev. Wright as our president. You decide, I guess the U.S will have to change it's name to Obama"nation". "ABOMINATION:

Obama and his supporters seem to be in their element when they are demeaning women, so I doubt they can stop!

I do not like her policies or her personally, so I do not get what he is saying. I can not be happy she might become president oneday, the thought blows my mind .Bill clinton must stick up for her because she is cute, he never said how talented and smart obama is ( and he is way smarter than everyone running). Bill is still mad hillary did not make it, to bad she did not make it because of him. he destroyed her, now he basically attacks obama by what he does not say, I think this man is kind of pathetic. I am feed up with Bill clinton his time is done!

Bill Clinton, I am going to vote for McCain, but I would support a constitutional amendment which would allow you to run for a third time. You just HAVE it.

Well said, President Clinton. You fellow dems should take note of his eloquent intelligent statements and stop your "shout-you-down" antics. This ticker is full of that nonsense. It just makes all of us dems seem bitter and immature.

BOTH sides lie and misrepresent the facts – not just the GOP.

Bill, why did you say to stop attacking Sarah Palin? Everytime the press and the liberal left including Obama and Biden attack Palin, the more it brings good attention to the McCain/Palin ticket. I did get a good laugh tonight watching Fox News when Obama was called a centrist. I guess that means all the Senate democrats including Teddy and Vermonts Socialist Senator are centrist since Obama voted left of them.

I agree that she and her family should not be attacked. and McCain should insist that people who support him should not personally attack the Obama family. But she has been misstating her position on numerous issues, and we are oblligated to hold up a mirror.

@Griff,

Seriously, dude. I couldn't understand a single word of what you were trying to convey. You must be a republican. Get thee to some kind of education institution, posthaste. I feel sorry for you.
No offense. It just seems like every time I read a comment that is all misspelled or makes no sense, it's in defense of Palin or McCain. And that speaks volumes about their supporters.

I wonder if Romney and Hucklebee's wives are upset with Mccain for picking someone like Palin as VP when they were candidates for president as well? Why can't Bill leave this alone and realize that Hillary was not entitled to be the nominee.

what little respect i had for bill clinton, just got flushed down the drain.

As citizens, we have a responsibility to investigate all of the political candidates. To close our eyes and say, we should avoid talking negatively about them, is not only stupid, but irresponsible. As Palin has never worked in Washington D.C. and has only experience at the state level, and a state with a very low population, she deserves very close scrutiny. She is relatively unknown to most citizens of the other 49 states. A candy-coated background with little substance, or truth, is not adequate with today's voter. Both positive and negative aspects of a candidates career must be closely scrutinized. After all, she is only a heartbeat away from the Presidency. I find that scary, don't you?

Obama-Biden democrats are attacking Palin just like Obama democrats attacked Hillary.

Look at the comments. Look at the fear. Go get 'em Sarah. They are runnin' scared!

Bottom line is Obama's numbers are absolutely horrible considering this was to be the year the dems slaughtered the republicans. I'm a democrat and I can tell you straight up Obama will not win this election. Personal attacks on Palin have hurt us. Why not keep the attacks issue based instead of being so personal? Trust me it is turning independents off big time. If we lose for the 8th time in 11 tries (and everything looks like that will happen) I will officially give up on my party as one that doesn't get it. It sure isn't the party I joined 18 years ago. Not even close.

Why is Bill talking about Palin and her kids instead of the issues that are facing Americans in this economic crisis today?

What the hail do we care about her and if someone likes her or not?

I am on my way back to Iraq for the third time and my wife and children are going to be broke when I leave, as usual.

Talk about that, Bill!

Instead of helping the ticket you are too selfish to see beyond your own ambitions.

Bill and Palin have a lot in common. Both are selfish and both lie a lot.

Uhhh Sneaky Pete have you ever looked at a world map? Last time I checked Alaska was the largest state in the union. Learn the difference between population and physical size.

And yes Sarah Palin does have more executive experience than Obama accept that fact. And military command is executive experience so McCain has that as well. If you fail to see that then you are dense.

Next time think and fact check before calling people morons.

Final vote tally? Hillary received 300,000 more votes than Backtrack Obama and he received a mere 17 delegates. Most of his wins were in caucuses.

This should explain why Backtrack Obama is pulling out of Georgia and North Dakota and only concentrating on Swing states.

…oh wait, there goes the air out of more delusional supporter who kept repeating…"but he's going to campaign in all 50 states." ROFLMAO

Everyone, just ignore Bill! Praising McCain on "The View" and now saying Palin is good too; Bill Clinton may as well be spoke person for Republicans. Still bitter, Bill? Let it go! Bill keeps giving Hillary's supporters subliminal messages to vote for McCain and hoping Hillary will have a chance at the White House in 2012!

That's a slap in the face Bill. Hillary was a better 'political' pick but not a better 'governing' pick? A political pick is cheap. It lacks integrity. Maybe that is what Bill was saying. Obama did not use Hillary in a cheap way. I agree with that.

Bill, if you are not going to help Obama then be quiet and not help the repubs. The Repubs know that Palin is not qualified, but you don't hear them stating that. They will back Palin all the way to the end.

why is it that we are not suppose to attack Palin but she can spread lies about Obama and she never even met the guy before.
She is a liar and she is a fair game.
If she has nothing to hide than cooperate with the investigation.
I think she will put her foot in her mouth more and it will help Obama.
I can't believe that Bill Clinto would defend her and yet she said mean things about Hillary.

clinton likes anyone in a blue dress.

Every time someone expects her to answer questions from the public, they claim she is being attacked. I'm not about to ignore the fact that she is THE most UNQUALIFIED person to run as VP in this nation's history.

She is also the only candidate that has ever avoided being interviewed for weeks.

Sorry Bill, she is bringing most of this on by her own actions.

Who cares Go Dems!!!

I agree that it is a lost cause attacking Palin, although I haven't heard Obama or Biden attack her. But all I've heard from Palin is attacks and snide remarks. I wish Bill had given that same advice to his wife when she started her relentless attacks on Obama.

WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS MR. PRESIDENT!!! I'M STILL FOR HILLARY THOUGH

President Clinton is right and if Obama wants to win he would tell his surrogates to stop attacking Palin and keep the focus on McCain.

i still don't trust bill clinton

Um, he's married to Hillary. Why does it continually surprise CNN that he's got a Hillary bias?

This is the same Bill Clinton who said politics is a contact sport.. and that if you couldn't take the punches you shouldn't be in it….

Well, well, well……

And btw, can't remember him ever coming to his wife's defense like that… hmmmmm

I have just one question to Bill: WHO ATTACKS PALIN? What "democrats" is he talking about? Specifically? Because Obama's camp is definitely NOT talking about Palin at all. Only if they are asked, and only in neutral tone. Now PALIN, on the other hand today lied and even said that Obama's "attacking her family". This is a stupid lie and she should be called for it. But no! Bill is "protecting" Palin…. What the hell is wrong with this idiot Clinton, I wonder?

As a big Sarah Palin fan, I really do not want to see her win in November. The country is going into a depression and I want that woos Obama to bear the brunt of the public's wrath as he fails to cope with it.

Sarah can run for President in 12 & 16′. She's only 44 and will be around for a long time.

We love you Sarah.

GO AWAY.

This is the Good Ole White Double Standard in full force!!!

Bill Clinton is pathetic and a Liar no wonder is likes PALIN!!

One poster wrote: She has a big mouth! I laughed. Palin is going to be under attack until this election is over. She came out of nowhere and then…in her first speech, starting swinging at Obama. And now, that she getting licks back, she can't take it, and Clinton, is like a parent who after his child got a good punch in – approves of it – and out of the same breath say…don't hit them any more. Palin deserve every pop across the head she gets. She has her nerve…launching attacks and crosses her legs like she did nothing to receive the retaliation. Clinton should even try to defend her.

It all about Mccain he's running she JUST there to get the emotional vote…

Bill if you won't help Obama to win the election please don't criticize his strategy. We are still doubtful about your intentions but we still respect you. Please don't destroy it.

Never ever trust Clintons!! Do not blame Palin, Hillary, Monica…. You are right, guys: campaign of 2012 has started. They never give up.
Do not even ask them, Barack, to help you. It will never happen. They (Clintons) are great actors and in addition do not have any moral limitations.

Bill, pointing that Palin does not have a skill-set needed to make decisions as a president isn't attacking her And if we all sit back and talk about how great of a mother she is and how much she reminds us of Betty-across-the-street, we'll forget that we're choosing a presidential ticket and not someone to just have coffee with. A president has too much power to not hold her up to the same standards as every other person on the Democratic and Republican tickets. President Palin would be a disaster.

PS, what happened to you saying you would work with Obama to get him elected?

The interesting thing is that Obama is not attacking her and never did. He was the first AND ONLY one saying to leave her family alone. Now, for Bill to pretend like Sarah's his homegirl is disingenuous to say the least.
"Why say, ever, anything bad about a person?" — Bill, sorry but you are being just a bit hypocritical…

Bill keeps forgetting what side he is on. He should really stop saying they are as qualified and ready to be president. Doesn't he want a Democratic President?

You are one of her campaign leader who don't want see her win anyway. Would you stop your b.s. please. If Hillary was picked as vp believe me the gops were ready to go after her and you. And that you don't say.

He's trying to sweet talk her into the oval office. I bet she reminds him of an older but thinner and better looking Monkica Lewisky. Sam body type but a hottie.

Here we go again. Trying to find spotlight Bill-O. I tell you, you really don't want Obama to win but it's okay. With friends like you who needs enemies. I guess he would like her. Hell she looks much better than the mistresses he had.
Another vote for Palin because of her beauty. Way to go Bill-O.

Persident Clinton is right. It is not Gov. Palin's fault that she is not bright enough to know John McCain is using her like Lieberman and Romney

Hey sneakey pete, Arkansas had a population of just about 2 million when Clinton was elected in 92′. He had just as much foreign policy experience as Palin has, and yes, She has more executive experience than any other candidate on both sides. Better to have one maverick teamed up with someone with executive, as opposed to two windbags that don't know when to shut up. Try watching Obama without his teleprompter sometime, it's painful. Unless of course if you like the word…….UH! Nothing like a Harvard grad who says uh for 8 minutes out of a 40 minute press conference. The guy is an empty suit.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TELLING THE TRUTH.

THE BUSH SIDEKICK & HIS SIDEKICK SHOULD TRY IT

SOMETIME. NEITHER OF THEM QUALIFY TO RUN A

SMALL PIZZA STORE, LET ALONE A NATION, ANY NATION.

Way to go Bill Clinton! At least you have the courage to go against unfair liberal bias.

Obama should have the courage to talk down his supporters as well. He did not do this with Hillary, and the result of that was, to this day there is animosity between Democrats.

The candidate who has the courage to tell it like it is about the financial crisis on Wall Street without fear of political suicide IS the candidate who deserves to WIN. This will be supreme proof who is putting country ahead of political ambition!

she`s the only woman in washington he hasn`t tried to hit on

Bill, Sarah P. and the Republicans Ask for it. If they don't want any beefs they should just say so. All attacks will be drop, but don't expect for dems to retaliate.

Besides she gives good head…..

I think Bill is flirting and he probably doesn't even know it…
…he just goes on auto-mode when there is a pretty lady involved.

You nutroots are hilarious. I guess we finally figured out who the real bitter clingers are — the ones clinging to Daily Koz.

Hi, Bill:

Here is a news for you. Exposing lies is not attack. Allowing someone smearing your records and characters is a personal attack.

He's right, leave her alone, and let her get comfortable in her surroundings. Then as soon as she thinks the coast is clear, she's going to get asked questions, lots of questions, and the "experience" will then shine through for what it is – not much!

OBAMA / BIDEN – 2008!!!

And look what ALL that experience that BUSH has has gotten US!!!!!

No one needs to attack her. She is going to self destruct all by herself. Give it a few more weeks of not appearing on any Sunday morning news shows.

Hey, this is politics in the big leagues. As long as she is dishing it out, and much of that is untrue, she had better learn to take it. As Hillary said "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Bill, why don't you just shut-up. You're just pissed about Hillary not being chosen and this is your only viable option of complaining. Sara Palin's record "needs" attacking, for fear of her becoming second in command. Besides, if she is on the losing ticket, maybe you could offer her Monica's old position. By the way, which one did ya'll use?

I agree with the President. If everyone just ignores her and talks about McCain they lose anyway. She isn't important enough to talk about.

Is this the Hillary 2012 push? Give me a break. Palin is up for grabs. Biden needs to let her have it. Bottom line is, she was a good pick politically, but horrible considering McCain allegidly puts his 'country first.' I trust her about as much as I trust Wall Street. I do agree Obama should not attack, but the rest of the dems should do as they please. Sorry President Clinton, I'm not on your side on this one.

Why is he praising the woman? Is he trying to get Hillary supporters to switch over to the GOP and start supporting Palin? He really has it in for Obama huh? This is EXACTLY why Hillary would not have been a good VP. Her husband is a loose cannon.

Don't attack her personally. Attack her lack of credentials. She couldn't even answer her hand-picked interviewer's question about the Bush doctrine. What exactly does she bring to the table for republicans?

I thik Bill is right over a non-issue:
He is right because Obama does not need to attack her, since the truth about her, exposed by investigative sources, is damaging enough.
And it is a non-issue because Obama/Biden never attacked her in the first place. If anything, both of them were extremely corteous to her, and focused their attacks on the substance of the proposed plans and policies of her running mate.
Oh, by the way, her running mate is on the top of the ticket, in case you were not sure about it…

Based on Clinton's prior record with women, it’s understandable why he thinks Palin is "hot out there". Also, history has already proven that Clinton has never met a woman that he didn’t like.

Good job,Bill.
You can take the high road,but we don't have to. There is more than enough to laugh at,without using her family.
McCain made a good choice alright….sure makes him look like an OLD FOOL!!!

Bill

They are angry because she has more experience than Obama.

You don't see them posting about Obama's accomplishments during his 143 days as a Senator.

Easier to tear down other people to keep the topic of Obama: thin resume, no accomplishments, hateful spiritual adviser, Rezko slumlord, terrorist Ayers.

But she's such an EASY target….

I agree 100% with Bill. The Democratic Ticket should leave Palin alone. Let the New York Times and Time Magazine call her a liar.

Let me and other outraged Americans attack her on these forums, I like sparring with the Republican toady trolls who post here, it's fun to see how inarticulate and ignorant they are.

Well what about the attacks on Michelle Obama? The double standard smacks of hyprocrisy and racism as, unlike Governor Palin, Michelle Obama isn't even running for office.

Obama is clear family off limit, well…she is the candidate and she is full of lies, nobody is attacking her…

Is it me, or is Bill Clinton gradually morphing into Joe Lieberman?

The reality is that she is not doing well, except with her base, and even some of them have openly expressed their concern about her. Her views, her checkered history as Alaska's governor, and her rants are turning most people off. It is beyond dispute that her qualifications to be Vice President – or more properly her lack thereof – are fair game.

President Clinton, of all people, should be able to recognize that it is possible to criticize your opponent without having to go ad hominem.

You finally got something right Bill. Sarah Palin drew 50,000 people in Central Florida yesterday. Joe Biden's biggest crowd ever was 2,000 and they had to give away free beer to get that many.

Sarah is only 44 and she's a model for our daughters. Mayor, Governor with the highest approval rating in the U.S.–80%, candidate for VP, Member of the Alaskan Energy Board, and all while raising 5 kids. Few people can match that kind of performance.

She'll be a powerhouse in republican politics for the next 20 years.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16′

he wants Obama to lose…its obvious

Palin is dangerous and this reality has nothing to do with her gender .

Obamabots are so defensive they can't see their own ignorance.
A backlash is building against these personal attacks.

Bubba's right. Besides, actions speak louder… and you know they will.

Donald Trump has a tremendous amount of "executive experience"

Would you want Donald Trump running the country?

The presidency is judgement not executive experience.

No one from the Obama campaign is attacking Palin.

She wants to be on the front page again and she's not front page news.

I'm sure there is a method to Bill's madness here but I can't quite figure it out.

I agree that the Dems should not 'attack' Sarah Palin. No politicians should be attacking each other for that matter. What people need to realize is that Sarah Palin is not being 'attacked' she is being questioned or investigated, which in my opinion is appropriate giving the office she's running for! All of the candidates have been investigated, Sarah Palin should not be given any special treatment, after all that would be SEXIST!

I am sick and tired of people saying Democrats need to stop attacking the Palin family. I read all the left-wing blogs and I have not seen anyone attack the baby or her for having the baby. I have only seen criticism of her hypocrisy regarding sex education as it may impact someone like her daughter, or the hypocrisy of those who would criticize Spears or young black women in the same position. Please remember Palin herself injected her daughter's plight into the national discourse. Mr. Clinton only gives credence to the myth that Democrats are "attacking her family". He is too saavy a politician; he is obviously trying to hurt Obama's chances.

President Clinton is CORRECT. Let her spew her nonsense about President-Elect Obama. Let's focus on McLame, I mean McShame, oops McBlame, dammit, McPalin. This is their plan, get us worked up over her (look at THIS hand), while McPOW runs free (the other hand). She runs the SAME tired lines OVER and OVER and OVER again. Notice that:

1. Re-thugs are tiring of her.
2. Her numbers have fallen now that we ignore her.
3. She really has nothing to say other than roads and bridges to nowhere.

Focus on McBush people, ignore his attack dog, her bark is worse than her bite.

You're right Bill.

However, I think the lying will catch up to her.

Obama/Biden '08

Bill and Hillary Clinton just got done running a nasty campaign against Obama.. and now all of a sudden they think we shouldn't attack Palin's resume!?? If you can't challenge Palin's resume then WHAT CAN you challenge her on??!!

Bill is an expert politician and a sell out to his democratic party at the same time. They both run around the country doing the bare minimum to support Obama to show their party that they're not sell outs and yet they are quietly running a subtle campain to support Obama's opponent.. all just to give Hillary a shot at the presidency in 2012.

Disgraceful. Someone in the party needs to speak up about this trojan horse.

Why can she dish it but cant take it, she is trying to get sympathy. Yeah they should leave the family out of it, but this is politics she is fair game. Most of the things that have been said about her so far are true. I guess its true what thy say…..THE TRUTH HURTS!!!

I like Bill Clinton … but I will like Hillary Clinton even more in 2012!!!

I Think The Democrats Should Attack Her Everyday In Every Way! Hit Her Above The Belt, Them Hit Her Below The Belt, Them Hit Her With The Belt! Then Maybe She Will Get The Message! Hillary Was Hit Ten Times As Much As Palin But Do You See Her Crying?

Come on Bill at let us laugh at her!

It is absolutely great that Obama selected Biden as his VP. Hillary has too many scandals and very inconsistent. Bill's talks has been to shaky.

Joe Biden is loved for his very human and politically unreserved speeches. His occasional gaffes just add charm and trust. People trust him, see he is not a lair, and he has good life path and work experience.

As for Palin, she lies so much and shows so much extremism that anybody with sense should have seen through. Really, it does nto worth to talk about her. Whoever wants more Bush – that's for them.

Obama/Biden 2008

Bill is correct. Personal attacks are the mainstay of the g.o.p. and not worthy of Obama/Biden
Policy is another story:
Did you hear that Palin is in favor of outlawing abortions, even when the woman is a rape victim?

Barack Obama did everything to make these Clinton folks happy. they humiliated him and said everything they could say about him. He is so gracious but these Clinton folks are not having straight talk. Who attacked Palin? Palin is copying every sentences of Obama's speech. does she have her own words? so bankrupt. Clintons will never support Obama. they are waiting for 2012. everybody knows it.

HEY CONNIE – OBAMA HAS HAD A FREE RIDE SINCE THE BEGINNING. IF THE MEDIA AND REPORTER WOULD GO TO CHICAGO AND LOOK FOR DIRT ON BARACK I AM SURE THEY WILL FIND IT. BUT THEY WANT BARACK TO WIN.

Both Obama and Biden have said family is off limits. I have seen anything to the contrary.
Besides McCain and Palin have given Obama and Biden so much material (lies) they should donate to their campaign.

Thank you, Mr. President.
The attacks on Gov. Palin are hurting Obama…

Clinton is right, which is why women will vote for McCain/Palin in droves.

PS. What a terrible disappointment is was to watch Tina Fey on the Emmy's. She showed herself to be just another mindless, liberal follower. How sad to find out that her portrayal of Sarah Palin is born out of a meanness of spirit.

Darrell Hammond's take on Bill CLinton was seen on both sides a good natured ribbing.

So sad Tina to see you lose half your fan base Tina over a few ill chosen words – just to fit in!

I am sick and tired of people saying Democrats need to stop attacking the Palin family. I read all the left-wing blogs and I have not seen anyone attack the baby or her for having the baby. I have only seen criticism of her hypocrisy regarding sex education as it may impact someone like her daughter, or the hypocrisy of those who would criticize Spears or young black women in the same position. Please remember Palin herself injected her daughter's plight into the national discourse. Mr. Clinton only gives credence to the myth that Democrats are "attacking her family". He is too saavy a politician; he is obviously trying to hurt Obama's chances.

I have never seen someone with such a safeguard around them because of their gender.

And this is someone that called Hillary a "whiner"…

the professional bloggers are always out on CNN

Wow – I have to admit – Clinton sounds like he's got a bit of dementia here – unless he was terribly misquoted.

I say "attack." Palin is one scary extremist.

Yeah right, Bill. Why would anyone dare attack the queen of lies, secrecy and mooseburgers? Give me a break.

This woman deserves no better treatment than Obama, Biden or McCain. It's actually an insult to women to insinuate that she should be treated any better. She's a big girl, and if she can dish out the attacks, she can take 'em.

BTW, Bill, aren't you supposed to be on the campaign trail for Obama? Get to work.

That's all fine and dandy but seriously, this is a tough election Bill. If Obama loses this we can all look back at Bill's campaign for Hillary starting now – and we wont forget!

WE SHOULDN'T ATTACK WHO? I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT PALIE. THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE, SHE IS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

HE IS SPOT ON ABOUT PALIN.

ONCE YOU SEE HER GO AROUND THE POLL, IT'S OVER.

NOT MUCH ELSE YOU CAN SAY ABOUT HER.

I can't believe how disgusting the dems have gotten over Palin.

You're all pathetic. So what if she doesn't share every single one of your views? You shouldn't all be such Obama lemmings.

I'm voting for McCain.

Oh, I get it now – Bill is suporting Obama

Obambots need to explain the frozen angry-face of Michelle Obama.

Seems she was taking notes during Rev Wright's sermons.

Bill Clinton is being positive on Palin , makes you think he is trying to get a date with her.

I am with President Clinton on this one. It is wrong to attack her…she is off limits. The rules changed since she was chosen to be the VP on the Mcclain ticket…so she is off limit…Back off DEMS.

Yes it means she can attack but you can't attack… well by now you should know that life is not fair. The french says c'est la vie.

Mcpalin-08

Bill Clinton was elected POTUS (for real) twice. Something no other Dem has done for a very long time. I guarantee you Obama will never be elected POTUS twice.

You would think that all Dems would have at least some respect for Bill Clinton and his viewpoint, even if they do disagree with a viewpoint.

But, the left wing extremist fraction of the Dem party is so Out There, they are really on their own planet.

Like any politicians, Palin deserves to be flogged and dragged across the finish lines.

it's a ritual that all politicians go through to wear the crown…

So get your caning stick out and give her your best shot

Why don't you tell Sara to stop lying to the American Public. It okay for Sara to attack Obama but it not okay for anyone to say anything about her???? Bill you can't have her she is taken.

What! Who is atacking her? She doesnt even talk to the media. So from where does Media get the news that she is being attacked?

What about her attacking Obama and Biden and Democrats and we never get to known her "reasons" behind it?

how come nobody mentions obama's executive experience as president of the harvard law review…his staff size was probably on the order of the 50 palin had in wasilla and the review is without question a further reaching institution than the wasilla city government…not to mention obama managed the law review while also a student, not in middle age

Bill is Right.

Palin may be popular, but that does not mean she can lead our country.

No way, no how, no McSame!

Sorry, Bill but not no but hell no. This lady has sad some bad things about Obama that are out right lies..

For example when she sad Senator Obama has new worked across party line when he did … This lady need to learn about how he co wrote the Ethic reform act, wrote the Vet. Bill that help returning injuried Vets.

This lady needs to return to Alaska and look at Russia from her front door.

Give me a break.. give her a clue..

Bill:

We hear you!

We aren't voting for they empty suit named Obama who plays the race card.

We saw the same crazed Obama supporters posting "Shillary", "Hillbilly" and calling Hillary a "liar" in every post. Must be the crazy kool-aid and poor parenting.

McCain 2008
Hillary 2012

sounds like bill is on the pipe or something. he and hillary sure had no problem attacking barack obama. maybe bill just wants to jump her bones i've been sick of bill and hill since the primaries and it doesn't seem to me they have doing much to campaign for obama.

If this is the best that the American political system can produce shame on America. Whats with a 72 year old war monger who will most likely die in office, a man who runs on being the first black president but is half white and flops around on issues like a fish on a dock, neither of these idiots should be the leader of the worlds most powerful country. Putin will make fools out of both of these clowns

It does make sense because my momma always said if you can't say any thing nice then don't say anything at all. Maybe we should all think about that. Let her be the one who bad mouths people. Think of what that will look like. Very ugly and ugly is as ugly does.

I personally think that Bill is still a bit bitter and wants Obama to lose. Funny how he's backed off the "win handily" to the close race thing.

And furthermore, he should have taken his own advice during the primaries. He had nothing but criticism for Obama on every level. He is clearly campaigning against Obama and in a not very subtle way.

We need another FDR

Finally, a voice of reason.

But isn't this what BO said he would do since the beginning.

Just saying.

Gees, Bill Clinton is the last person on earth to talk about being critical about others. Get real Bill!

Obvious that Bill is still Mad!

It's the same old mess! I respect Bill but Palin does not deserve to be placed in a bubble. She can't expect to be able to stand infront of thousands of people say whatever she wants and you can't touch her because she's a "girl". Bill and Hillary said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. McCain said to Obama, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. If anyone said that to Palin, it would be sexist. I'm a woman. If this woman wants my boat she better grow a pair and act like she wants it. And I think Bill is speaking with his other head.

He's just trying to get in her pants.

*
Funny come from a guy who ripped Barack on the campaign trail all summer long…. Not buying his agenda.. BUT I do say McCain's issues are wrong the Country..
*

Love ya Bill, but sorry or should I say thanks but no thanks for the backin off Palin advice. She's fake. Yep a total lying fake.

I think Bill is trying to tell us to back off of Palin, so that she and the Republicans can be the fault of her demise. Everyone knows that she is clueless on National/International politics…hell, she couldn't run Alaska without ethics scandals. We should just let her screw this up on her own.

Nothing to see here, folks…move along.

He is trying to be nice. We all are sick of Palin……let this lady's big mouth dig herself a hole.

Obama/Biden 08

Bill let it go, we are running to Win, if you don't want to win then sit down. We are tired of you and your wife. Obama won fair and square. And Obama will win the Presidency the same way. The lies and cheating will catch up with McCAIN and Palin. If Palin can't stand the heat then she should concede. This is a job running the US of America, not Alaska. Stop making this seem as if this is no big deal. We are in a reccession. Maybe to Bill and Hillary, or McCain and Cindy that all is well, because they have no money issues. But the American people are in trouble, because we allowed and trusted people in high position to do what is best. Now we must vet, investigate and do whatever it takes to uncover what she's hiding. McCain's judgement in this matter is ridicules. Biden is the best choice for VP, Barack is best choice for President.

I don't recall Obama saying anything about Palin at all. Thats the funny thing about this. What has he said about her? What has Biden said about her? Nothing beyond she is a skilled politician. The media is attacking Palin not Obama and Biden. They are focusing their efforts on McCain and McCain alone. Why? Because Palin is not a poltical factor. They know that she can do them no harm. So why bother attacking her. She will hang herself in the end.

The McCain's Paid Full Price For Their Homes , Don't Have To worry About These 12 Homes being part Of The Forecloser Probem !!! .

The Obama's Coruptly Aquired Their House !!! , Thur Their Chicago Buddy Rezko !!!!!

The Mccain's Own 13 Cars , 11 American Made ,

The Obama"s Own 1 Car American made ,

The McCain's Have Supported The UAW 10 Times (1,000 % ) More Than , The Obama's Have .

This Life Long Democrat Can See Which Canidate Is Really Backing America . It Ain't The Obama's ,

My Vote Goes To McCain/ Palin 2008 , Maybe 2012 !!!

First time in a long time that Bill has said anything that made any sense when it comes to this race for the White House.
McCain/Palin are a far better duo for the White House than Obama/Biden OR Obama/Anybody!
Obama knows nothing but how to give a good speech~
Scary that so many of you don't require more from the future POTUS!

VP Candidate interview count, to date. Biden – 82; Palin – 2. Why isn't she being asked more questions? Where IS the press?

The Clintons dont want Obama to win,when Mccain was ahead in the polls after the Republican Convention the Clintons was very silent,now since Obama has pull back ahead the Clintons are all over the networks,so is their surragates sayin stupid things,its obvious they dont want Obama to win,its that simple because they only comes out when Obama has the lead,so whenever Obama takes the lead the Clintons goes on tv to praise Palin.

Feel free to send all of your money to Obama…. he's gonna need every penny!

Why bother, she is doing a great job of attacking herself. Bill should know as he did that to his wife's campaign.

If any one ever made the mistake in thinking that the Clintons would roll over an die . The proof is on this page and if I were the attackers of Hillary,( Whom Barack did Not ask to run with him) id be watching my back. Bill's coming and Hell is coming with him. Bring it Bill!!!

It is not us Mr President.

It is the Obamabots and the crazies at MSNBC. The same that attacked Hillary during the primaries. Nothing changes.

We support Hillary and now will support McCain.

Dear CNN,

Neither Obama nor Biden have attacked Palin personally. NEVER. EVER. Get that straight.

Bill should shut up and stop this stealth campaign to drive women voters towards McCain. I never saw Obama and Biden attacking Palin. It's pretty clear that he already started Hillary's 2012 campaign. why is it that this man started talking like this the moment Obama's numbers are going up? It's pretty clear he is trying to sabotage Obama's election.

He realizes she was a smart pick. Her resume is growing.

It was a hard primary so I don't expect him to be crazy over Obama. I'm not either.

Sara Palin should comply with the investigation. She nor her husband is above the law.

Oh, puh-leeze.

Bill, you didn't help your wife, you didn't help Obama, you didn't help your party, and now you aren't helping your country. Take a cue from Carter and HW, and get the hell out of the spotlight for once.

It's not just the Democrats! What about the bias media?

I've been watching the bios of the Candidates, and their VP choices on the Television, and one thing I have noticed is that they interview old friends from the candidates past, and family members as well. You can get a lot of information about a person from those closest to them, but
Why is it that the close friends, and or family members from Obama's past will not agree to interviews. They were asked, but declined to make statements (Obama's sister, grandmother, college friends, friends that Obama was close to that he mentions in his books)?
What are they hiding? Why does Obama have so many "Ghosts in his Past"?
Why isn't the press rushing all over the country to get informative information on Obama like they did in Alaska to Palin?
Bias Media coverage is UN-AMERICAN!
ISN'T THAT EXACTLY HOW THE RUSSIAN MEDIA WORKS FOR PUTIN (Russian prim minister for you youngsters)?
ISN'T THAT HOW THE IRAQI MEDIA WORKED FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN?
ISN'T THAT HOW THE MEDIA WORKS IN COMMUNISTIC COUNTRY'S?

SHAME ON YOU BIASED MEDIA!

Okay, I am glad Bill is so in love with Hillary now. I think if Bill has asked Hillary to be the only woman in his life, she would have gladly accepted that as well. He should not be out there making those type comments this close to the election. He is either for Obama or against him. He knows better than any one else that Hillary was in the race too long to be considered VP for Obama. The republicans would have had mounds of negative attacks to use on Obama by his VP if he had chosen Hillary.

Bill didn't bother to say Hillary shouldn't be so negative toward the front-runner during the primary. Of Hillary didn't want the VP spot, then move on and stop talking about it.

Obama/biden 08

Bill Bill Bill your an idiot. I am still wondering what side you and Hillary are on…oh ya Your Own!

PUMAs we have Palin now so you can keep whining.

Looks like it is going to take Bill Clinton to seal the deal for Obama.

Go Bill!

This is absolutely ridiculous. The McCain camp, and Palin in particular, is slamming Obama personally and professionally all over the place. They are not acknowleding that he is a "good choice" for the president. In fact, just the opposite is happening. Obama has said families are off limits and that should cancel out Clinton's remarks here. Whatever criticism there has been of Palin was directed at her record, and that is fair game since she is a candidate. Look at what the McCain campaign is doing. Clinton is still harboring a grudge over Hillary and everyone can see that.

It's one thing to attack her, and quite another to point out the blatantly obvious facts.

Complete lunatic with no intelligence, utterly incapable of proving her honesty/integrity as well as an absolute joke when it comes to practicing what she preaches. That is not putting her down, they are simply the facts.

Aside from that, I'm sure she makes a good pig with lipstick…she's just not a good mother, politician or VP.

Sarah Palin is a DISTRACTION….and McCain and his team are trying to get the attention back on "lipstick" and off the "economy"…Dems don't fall for it. The press is doing a great job at vetting her. Let's not fall for it!

Pres. Clinton seems to very soft on his supposed support for Obama. I agree though that they should not attack Palin or her family, they should just ignore her. The more attention you give her the more people will focus on her. Don't talk about her at all, then she'll probably come out and say something stupid just to get attention. Anyone who every read or saw The Secret knows that you focus on what you want, so let 's just focus on President Obama!!

Palin who?

She seems to relish her attack dog role for the Republican ticket, but thinks it unfair when someone lashes out at her? Give me a break! If you want to play in the rough and tumble world of presidential politics, you have to expect to take a few punches along the way.

I wish Bill Clinton stays out of this.

agreed. I disagree with McCain/Palin on almost 100% of their policies, ideas and views of the world. No need to say anything about them personally.

Bill Clinton – 1st Dude – sooner or later -

Give me a break. The guy supports Palin more than he supports Obama. They should not attack Palin who is a meber of an opposite party but they can viciously attack Obama. Why do they want to treat Palin like a flower. She is running for VP. What is she going to do if she has to face world leaders of extremely patriarchal and sexist countries. Whine. Deep down the Clintons are hoping he looses so they can say I told you so and jump in in 2012. I was never in favor of an Obama/Clinton ticket and I have been proven right.
Obama/Biden all the way.

thats' like a gentleman Bill, very sauve.

now, you must keep away from the Obama-Biden campaign that tainted you as RACIST, thay you never were.

An unsolicited but nonetheless wedged commentary; to what effect?

Palin and all she represents herself with are fair game in the political arena.

It is unfortunate, but it is what it is: POLITICS!

Go get them Team Obama/Biden '08.

Strategically, I think he's wrong.

Attacking Palin for her inexperience, constant blatant lies, and scandal plagued stint as governor and mayor has been extremely effective (and totally justified). Her favorability ratings have deteriorated. The more we get to know her, the less we like her. Democrats have not been attacking Palin or her family. They've been attacking who she is as a politician, and she has deserved every one of those attacks. She's a rancid extremist, and I'm sick of her playing victim.

Never let us Elect from Fear… But never fear to Elect…

Bill Clinton needs someone to get a shovel to carry all of his s—–t! He is such an imposter – he makes me cringe. I see right through him. I will not vote for another Clinton in my lifetime.

So, it's OK for her to distort her record and continue to lie, and the American people are supposed to take it?? I think the American people have been "taking it" from the Republican Party for too long!!! It's time to call them the liars (i.e., Iraq War) that they are!!!!!

You know, it's a little disconcerting when the candidate at the top of the ticket (McCain) isn't secure enough to campaign without his second, and that second isn't trusted enough to have her own press conference , or be questioned by reporters.

I think Bill Clinton is right about not attacking Palin. He's saying to let Palin dig her own grave, which I think she began with that Charlie Gibson interview. Don't worry guys, the Palin bubble will pop on its own. Let's just sit back and enjoy the ride to the white house like Obama is doing.

Who is attacking her? Does speaking the truth, or pointing out that your opponent is less than truthful constitute an attack. Bill shouldn't have even dignified her whining.

Bill is playing games in hopes of Obama losing. He should be quiet or help Obama.

Obama………..08

Clinton is absolutely right. Agree with her or not, she is charismatic and has reinvigorated the Republican base. Personal attacks only discredit any attempts to intelligently counter her positions and give the Republicans fuel to criticize the Democrats.

To Lee from FLA-and all the other bots-you are making a BIG Mistake by attacking her-I thought "The Messiah" taught all his bots to NOT partake in the "Silly Season" of politics???? Tit for Tat won't work this time bots!

NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA!!!!

Bill,
She would have been a better choice for prez period. You know that, I know that and 18 million plus other people know that. Because the DNC dissed your wife and Obama and his camp and supporters were so consistently sarcastically rude, most of her supporters will vote for McCain or not at all. Mostly we will vote for McCain because he's simply better than Obama and your wife was better than both of them. But we don't have that choice. I do agree with your comments on Palin, however. But the DNC, Obama, his camp and supporters aren't exactly known for taking the high road, know what I mean?

Both McCain and Palin have sold their souls to the devil to win. It is one thing to "play to win" and it is another to "play not to lose". Maybe they should begin speaking in tongues to help their lost cause.

Sorry, but if someone han't a clue about our failing economy and how to fix it, they shouldn't be the No. 2 person. PERIOD.

I say call them out on every flaw, as much as possible. Its the only way people will wake up.

I cant help it. I cant stand Palin, and when I hear people that love her,it just plain makes me sick. She's unqualified, and McCain's judgement is skewed for putting her on that ticket.
I am not attacking her person, I am attacking what she stands for and the fact that she is just plain and simply put, a terrible choice for VP.
Not to mention she scares me to death and now has McCain singing that same tune of "Lets make Georgia and Ukraine a part of NATO, and if we have to go to war, then we have to"… No thanks! Not for my young boys.

HE should know the vile comments and distortions about Hillary the Obama camp directed at his wife, liberals can dish it but they can't take it , @ sneaky pete, the fact that she's more qualified and smarter ,didn't need a teleprompt at all at the Republican convention , it broke down, has your head in flames , Obama can't inprovise a single original thought let alone give any detailed plan on any one issue , just wait until the debates he will have a melt down before millions.

So it's OK when she attacks Obama/Biden, but it's not when they attack her! What am I missing here?

Bill, no one is attacking her! In fact, instead of giving us facts about how she and McCain will fix this country, she spends more of speechs attacking Obama. That's all I ever here from her, attack Obama, attack Obama, attack Obama that's all she does is attack Obama!

Tell her to STOP!… and STOP LYING TOO! She'll get more respect if she learns to give respect as well.

Like your wife said Bill, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!

Your correct Mr. Clinton in declaring no attacks on the family members.
Maybe the necon repugs – including Palin – should step up and declare – NO LYING, HALF-TRUTHS OR MISLEADING STATEMENTS ABOUT OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why he said this….. He WANTS a piece!

yeah we miss Clinton..

Someone destroyed twin tower but Bush destroyed US

(Economy point of view)

If McCain is President forget about home run for gas & food.. select your choice Obama at least Dems will bring some level of security and we can keep what we have not loose

Vote Palin for Constable of Arctic Animal Control '08.

If she is the only one attacking then she looks like a sniping bitter broad. That is what happened to Hillary and why SHE lost. But, I have to say, I don't see anyone attacking her.

I have the news shows on all day and I'm the internet (when I should be working) and I've just not seen it.

Who, exactly is supposedly attacking Palin? Not any of the national democrats. If Bill is only going to say things that help the republicans, then he needs to just shut his mouth until after the election.

sorry Bill, thanks for the surplus you left and the GOP spent but I have to disagree here …

After months of ignorant rants and outright lies by the GOP against Obama and his family, turn about is not only fair but needed.

Palin's "speed-dating" agenda of meeting as many world leaders as she can talk into a "photo-op" while the UN is meeting does not give her international credentials… any more than claiming the a stop in Ireland to refuel is a visit to Ireland.

Nothing more pathetic than the GOP when playing the victim card – let's all have a pity party for someone who is not ready for prime-time.

Thank you Bill Clinton for keeping it real. Palin is likeable, not only that, she understands the common person. Something the hollywood elite 'does not get'.

But wait its ok for palin to attack the dems, Barack, Joe and palin even said hillary was a whiner during the primaries Bill i have to disagree with you sir if she can dish it out she can take it!

It funny how the "political ticker" is sponsored by ExxonMobil" lol Go Bill, and hill.

Spending 10 minutes with a foreign leader will not help Sarah Palin in the foreign policy department. She should stick to worrying about reducing taxes in Alaska for studded snow tires.

Well, it's just so sad to see America so deep down in the dark. We elected TWO oil-based politicians into the White House. Let's not make the same mistake and elect another set of oil-based politicians, with the same profile as Bush and Cheney again.

Experience? What's that? Experience without judgement and the vision to move the country forward, is as good as being the best horse rider, but never been on a BMW.

Obama has never said anything negative about Palin except in regards to attacking her position on real issues. Is that not allowed anymore either???

I'm sick of Palin saying she wants to play with the "big boys" but everyone needs to handle her with kid gloves.

Sarah Palin, you had it wrong when you called Hillary a whiner. Palin is the whiner and I'm sick of her and the McCain camp's hypocrisy!!!!

Bill who cares what you think … except rednecks who like their chicks … you have 00000000000 credibility on any 'family' issue and 000000000000 credibility on any element of loyalty …. Come to think of it Bill — SHUT THE H*LL UP!

You're right Bill…let her kill herself off. She's been doing a good job of it so far.

The DNC can afford to stop the attacks because the media will do it for them. Right CNN ?

I think Repubs do that to themselves.Dems need not do anything just run the repubs comments again again on air.
noway nohow noflopper

I understand you Bill but I don't agree with you. Palin is a liar and it will be a very scary thing for her to be the next VP of the United States. I am totally voting for Obama/Biden!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

Bill is the real deal, unlike the Obama cheap car salesman type.

Obama has never said anything negative about Palin except in regards to attacking her issues. Is that not allowed anymore either.

I'm sick of Palin saying she wasn't to play with the "big boys" but everyone needs to handle her with kids gloves.

Palin you had it wrong when you called Hillary and whiner. Palin is the whiner and I'm sick of her and the McCain camp's hypocrisy!!!!

I come from Arkansas, I get why she's hot out there," Clinton told reporters in New York. "Hot" Mr Clinton is a sexist remark.

Bill…I loved you when you were in the white house ,but now, you just need to go gracefully, it is evident you are still not united….instead of playing nice…dont play at all.

No one is talking about her personal life anymore. She's a burst bubble. Dems could care less.

Now if she lies about her positions-she's going to get called on it.

If the tables were turned and the Dem's had chosen Palin as their VP pick the Republicans would have shown no mercy!

The Dem's (including Bill) have to stop second guessing themselves and go in for the kill.

The McCain-Palin ticket is weak on substance and weak on the issues.

Bill I hope by saying this you mean to stop attacking her smal worthless resume and start focusing on McCain

I long for the day, when my Grand-Daughter, can run for Office. She as the same rights, as any Male. What have you to offer your Daughter Bill??

OH come on Billy-Boy Gov. Palin is a big girl, if she can't handle some one being critical of her, then how can she possible handle the rest of the world.

Besides, when she or McCain, or anyone else for that matter Lie, shouldn't they be called on it?????

Come on, we al know Palin's daughter won't be marrying the baby's father; the guy is 18! No one has, even, mentioned the word love between these two.

Bill – what has have the Democrats said about her?

And I am not talking about staffers at the junior level or some off message surrogate that no one can remember their name.

Go home Bill – Go the *** home!

I completely agree she should not be attacked and I am pleased Obama has shifted to talking about issues. My rationale for saying this is that Palin should not be getting so much publicity.

This isn't that Bill Clinton likes Sarah Palin or that he wants McCain to win the election.

This is Clinton saying, in code, that the election is not about Palin and by attacking her the Dems risk losing it all. And he's right. They need to focus on the economy and the war. That's it. If they hammer McCain on those two things then they will win the presidential election.

Barack and Joe Biden have long forgotten about Mrs. Pain (oops I mean Palin). It is the McCain campaign that keeps trying to make her a victim so they can distract voters with a cultural campaign rather than a campaign on the issues.

McCain realizes that he can not win a campaign on the issues.

who's palin?

People will stop talking about Palin's kids when she stops dragging them to political functions.

Palin: Leave you kids alone!

“The belligerence, the misspeaking, the defensiveness…all of those things are early stage Alzheimers symptoms. If anyone watched 60 Minutes last night, were you struck by the difference in appearance and affect between his interview earlier this year in Iraq, and his interview with Scott Pelley last week? He was full of vim and vigor earlier this year; now he looks drawn and ill. His eyes looked empty. We can not afford to elect this man, especially with his new puppet, Palin, as VP, with her strings being pulled by Rove, Cheney and the far right.”

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks he’s showing the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

I love this man. I never understood why Obama's supporters turned so viciously on him and on Hillary. The only reason that I can come up with is their hard -to understand fanatism over Obama, an inexperienced, junior senator with a long and close relationship with a racist pastor.
Change???? Gimme a break! Who said "Change" is always a good thing? Obama's arrogance, inexperience and questionable beliefs have the potential to "change" this country's dire situation from bad to worse.
As a Democrat, I rather vote Republican this time around. I simply do not trust Obama.

Give me a break !! Bill Clinton statment like this is hurting Obama How he support mother of 5 children with no expierience to be VP??

Palin is a narrow-minded and dangerous idiot just like Bush

God bless Bill. Just love him. Sure wish he could have a third term.

I love me some Bill Clinton, but after today he has just loss me. His legacy is history. Whenever he spoke we listen but that's gone. I watched him on the View and he stated that Hillary didn't want the VP position, I don't know why it wasn't reported in this article.

This is a dirty and bitter man. Watch out Obama, we got your back. This is the 21st century.

Obama/Biden 08-12

I love President Clinton, and I think he wants Obama to win.

I think his comments indicate he's got something up his sleeve to derail the McCain-Palin ticket.

He didn't win 2 landslide elections by just sitting on his hands and doing nothing.

I love this man. I never understood why Obama's supporters turned so viciously on him and on Hillary. The only reason that I can come up with is their hard -to understand fanatism over Obama, an inexperienced, junior senator with a long and close relationship with a racist pastor.
Change???? Gimme a break! Who said "Change" is always a good thing? Obama's arrogance, inexperience and questionable beliefs have the potential to "change" this country's dire situation from bad to worse.
As a Democrat, I rather vote Republican this time around. I simply do not trust Obama.

Uh, Bill? It's been the bloggers and the media making the biggest stink. Obama himself said "hands off."

But it's hard not to attack her. She asks for it when she calls herself a 'pitbull with lipstick' while she lies on the campaign trail everyday.

Obama/Biden '08!

I find it ironic how Sarah Palin is whining about how the dems are "attacking her". It is hypocritical of her and rather pathetic since her ticket has been doing some of the same attacks. Sarah…get over yourself… karma has a funny way of coming around.

if you talk about her crappy resume that's not being personal.

when you apply for a job the employer wants to see certain things on your resume. when those things aren't on the resume the employer isn't being personal when they tell you you aren't qualified.

they may even tell you that you suck and that you are a horrible candidate. which is the case in this instance. and that's not personal, that's just reality. better luck next time. maybe she wants to look into a nice exec position at an oil company? that's more her style.

WAY TO GO BILL…. YOU MIGHT JUST DIG YOURSELF OUT OF THE HOLE THAT YOU MADE FOR YOURSELF

Everyone knows that Palin is the dumbest pick anyone could have ever imagined… but they don't call Bill slick for no reason.. the more they attack Palin.. the more ATTENTION she gets….. she is a nobody wanna be.. let her have her time… it will come to an end soon. Nov 4th.

Go Slick Bill… I see you still have .

Bill has game.

And whose side is he supposed to be on. He is as 2 faced as the rest of them out there. He attacks Obama then says Palin is a good choice for McOld and stupid. Gee with friends like Bill we dont need enemies do we.

Why not call a lie a lie when the lie is a lier?
Sarah Palin in not but a lie!

McCain = no change

Obama/Biden 2008

Stop saying, not State saying is what i meant

I wish both sides would listen to Bill Clinton. I am sick of the negativity. Of course, I am sure there will be 200 negative comments in response to this article.

there is no doubt this is an appeal to clinton supporters upset at the biden pick to vote palin

monday am: hillary would have been best pick

monday pm: i get the palin pick

mmmmh . . . .

oh give me a break! Clinton take a good look in the mirror

Wild Bill should have used the same advice when he was making his comments about his wife's opponent. Hindsight is 20/20 and he should be making it his business not to offend any women, sounds like a thinly veiled endorsement of Sara Palin for VP.

I'm tired of seeing people say she is more qualified than Obama since she has executive experience and he doesnt. They fail to mention that SHE ALSO HAS MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN MCCAIN AS WELL. Also, Bush was governor of one of the 3 largest states (Texas) and she was governor of one of the 10 smallest (i dont know the exact number it is but my hometown of San Jose has more people 980,000 than all of Alaska 660,000) and look how well being a governor prepared Bush. State saying she has more experience than Obama because it just makes you look like a complete moron.

Why didn't they include the other comment that Bill made about Hillary? You know, the one where he said Hillary didn't want the VP spot?

you are right Bill, Palin will kill her own chances if she keeps lying and refuses to cooperate with trooper gate

Yes they should!!!!!! she's a liar, and no telling what else.

Bill Clinton is Correct. There is no justification for the smut and unkind words and accusations on Governor Palin. Saturday Night Live sunk to a whole new LOW on Saturday with the skit on Palin and her family, sick humor that has no place in American Family Life. Also, SNL was so disgusting, it cannot be repeated. Shame on the Democrats, for Obama will not win anyway. Nasty words and thoughts don't win a presidency.

Very nicely said…i applaud that but my vote because they choice Obama over Hiliary is why i am voting for McCain/Palin this time around.. Maybe by 2012 they may have the DNC straightened out to listen to all not just who they choose.

I agree…….don't be harsh on Palin. And I really agree that Hillary would have been a better choice than Biden.

?????????

WERENT WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT HER ANYMORE BILL???

With his history of flip flops, I'd still accept McCain dumping Palin and bringing on Romney!

You should not attack Women, Period! I still have wonder what you are about??? Your a Democrat! But Hillary is a Republican… Your own Daughter, will run for Office; as a Republican. I know this! You???

I agree, she is good, good-for-nothing. She sure has a big mouth on her and every time I hear her talk I send Obama more money. She is good for Obama and the way she is going she is starting to help him get elected.

I agree.

and so the hillary 2012 campaign begins . . . .

If no one should attack Ms.Palin, how is that she has free reign on attack
Obama and Biden. If you can't take it don't dish it out. Obama/Biden 08
Connie from Indiana

Well said Bill! You are still the leader of the party.

but its ok for palin to attack DEMS?

Can I still laugh at her?

Maybe he should have given his wife that same advice about Obama during the primaries.
