Bill Clinton Says: Obama Must “Kiss My Ass”

From the UK’s Telegraph:

Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must ‘kiss my ass’ for his support

By Tim Shipman in Washington and Philip Sherwell in New York

Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama’s victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support…

The Telegraph has learned that the former president’s rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.

A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support.

A second source said that the former president has kept his distance because he still does not believe Mr Obama can win the election.

Mr Clinton last week issued a tepid statement, through a spokesman, in which he said he "is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States "…

It has long been known that Mr Clinton is angry at the way his own reputation was tarnished during the primary battle when several of his comments were interpreted as racist.

But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: "He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.

"He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.

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

"Hillary’s just getting on with it and so should Bill." …

Joe Klein, the author of Primary Colours, a fictionalised account of Mr Clinton’s 1992 election, who has known the former president for 20 years, said he also heard that he was "very, very bitter", from people who have spoken with him…

We were wondering why Mr. Clinton was a no show at yesterday’s preposterously phony "Unity Rally."

Let’s see if any of our stateside media pick up his pithy remark.

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

    I realize the person this reporter is quoting is supposedly anonymous but come on, where’s the outrage from the MSM? This is far worse than Imus’ nappy headed ho’ statement, IMO. Talk about racist, jeez.

    “he risks damaging his own reputation” IS this a joke?

  6. 1sttofight

    For once Bill Clinton and I are on the same page.

    Barack Hussien Obama can “KISS MY ASS” too.

  7. pagar

    Ever since I saw this story I have been trying to figure out how a current Democrat political figure could damage his reputation. Then it dawned on me, there is an example: Sen Lieberman damaged his reputation by believing that America could and must win in Iraq.
    His reputation has been trashed by the Democrats. In order to retain his Senate seat he was forced to leave the party. One simply can not state publicly that America can win in Iraq and retain a leadership position with the Democrats.

    I am in total agreement with Mr. Clinton, look at how Barry’s camp treated him during the primaries.

  10. Lipstick on a PIAPS

    At least all he wants is his ass kissed…it could be worse.

  12. wardmama4

    So this whole story is based on what someone, supposedly close to Clinton said - omg, Clinton’s been McClellaned

    Man - when the liberals turn on their own, it is really kind of sad to see.

  13. David
