great for him, John McCain for president.
surprised??
the clinton dyansty is pissed off
They lost
the american people is telling them NO for the fist time
the DNC does not put them in the spot light
the DNC is less fearful of them
ohh billary billary time to go,
hahahha
but they helped electg mccain they know we will not let them come back to the white house.........
What a whiny baby. Talk about a sore loser. Hillary should have left him years ago.
Slap his face.
He's petty and getting awfully old looking these days – I have a friend his age who already has alzheimers. Too bad – happens sometimes.
GOOD FOR BILL...IT IS ABOUT DARN TIME SOME ONE STOOD UP TO THIS DNC steamroller that wants to install their pick for president. GO BILL..GO BILL.
Like he needs to get real. His wife lost. But I think that she stayed with him all these years after Monica-Gate just because she wanted to be President. And now that it is a no go, I think that whatever deal they had between wife and husband has gone south. I probably went something like " Bill I will stick by you only so that I can get the Presidency, but so help me God if I don't, cause hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! I will make your life a living hell!!" So of course Bill is angry that Hilary didn't get the nod. Bill, welcome to the rest of your life!!!
Fascinating... way to spend time and money pursuing important leads. We all appreciate it greatly. Where will he be eating dinner? Will he be having dessert? Will the Clintons be sharing a bed or are they in a double queen room?
I'm so clad you're the Senior Political Correspondent. Otherwise we might learn about irrelevencies like health care, economic distress, the Iraq war, the credit crisis, or what any of the people speaking at the convention think about any of those issues.
Go Bill
DNC need Clintons
Clintons no need DNC
Hillary 2012 / Mc Cain 2008
why is anyone surprised???
this guy can not stand it that he is not in the spot light
but to their little surprise since billary gave the presidency to McCain and Mcbush
she is not worried
but he is furious, he wanted to run around the interns again
the clowns = clintons
the circus= cnn
That is just wonderful. We could care less to hear more of his lies.
Good, Obama does not deserve Bill...
He better not!! I don't want a Barry Bonds at the game and give distractions. Or let alone he's probably worse than Barry Bonds...
IF BARACK LOSES THE CLINTONS ARE TO BLAME. BILL IS ACTING DISGRACEFULLY AND SELFISH. UNBELIEVABLE! DISGUSTING!
Is there some reason he should? Obama has made it more than abundantly clear that it's all about HIM.
I'm sure he finds Clinton's absence entirely appropriate.
....he'll be off in a corner somewhere, pouting while the rest of America puts the Bill Clinton years behind them. Legacy over.
Well, Guess Bill Clinton is not 2 faced.
My god Clinton, stuck in the 4th grade much?
Selfish man.
WHY does the media need to keep this NON battle between the Clintons and Obama going ?
i agree and i fully support Bill. He will always be my president.
yea ... that is good news for democrats
If Bill Clinton cares anything about his real supporters like me, he'll understand that it is imperative that we come together. I was a Gore supporter, then Edwards supporter, now I'm an Obama supporter. The beauty of this process is that you take twists and turns and then you have the candidate that represents best what you stand for OVERALL, not necessarily on every fine point. Obama has been trained by the best- a primary against the Clintons. He will do an incredible job, and no more Bush-Cheney business!
Good for you Bill, don't blame you!
Will he be missed?
What a surprise....
