SubscribeBill Says ‘Family’ Will Stand Behind Nominee
From a relieved ABC News:
Bill Clinton Promises No Matter the Outcome, His Family Will Stand Behind the Nominee
May 11, 2008
ABC News’ Sarah Amos reports: Speaking on behalf of his wife at the annual Truman Dinner in Billings, Mont., Saturday, former President Bill Clinton assured the crowd that no matter the outcome of the Democratic nomination, his family and Hillary’s supporters would firmly stand behind the party’s nominee.
“I also wanna say, on instructions, I’ve been a Democrat all my life,” he said. “And I’ve been working in these campaigns since I was a young man. I remember what it was like in 1980, when the people who didn’t win tore our party up. And I’m here to tell ya that however these last states come out, my candidates, our family and our supporters will be here to get a victory in November for the Democrats. It is too important. We’ve got to turn this country around. And we will do it.”
The crowd rose in a standing ovation at the sentiment…
Don’t you just love the way the Clintons calibrate their diction depending on where they are in the country?
Anyway, note that Mr. Clinton made this grand pronouncement “on instructions.”
Hillary finally realizes she can’t win and she is now running to be Mr. Obama’s Vice President.
It’s official.

I don’t think anybody in this country wants WJC anywhere near the White House again, even as the spouse of the VP. And that would include Obama and his supporters. There is already too much that would be unorthodox about an Obama presidency without adding that to the mix. Besides, this clash of egos isn’t likely to vanish over night, if at all, and Hillary would be hard pressed to conceal it. Gore managed to mask his dislike of Bill Clinton, but in my opinion,Hillary couldn’t pull it off with Obama. I don’t believe a Clinton has ever “let by-gones be bygones”, irrespective of the goal.

“Hillary finally realizes she can’t win and she is now running to be Mr. Obama’s Vice President.”
They’ve got a problem:

Yes, I saw that Novak column.
Still, one suspects that the Obama camp will be just ambiguous enough to keep Mrs. Clinton in line until the convention.
And I still wouldn’t be surprised to see her get the slot.
After all, one of Obama’s first jobs was as a vote buyer for the Clintons on the streets of Chicago.
He knows what an effective machine they have, and he might very well want to utilize it.
No matter what all the political mavens — or wives — say.

…….”And I still wouldn’t be surprised to see her get the slot…..”
I’ve maintained throughout, never count the Clintons out of anything, and this primary is no exception. That powerful “Clinton Machine” is the reason for the struggle within the democrat party. None of the party bosses seem to know how, or have the nerve, to handle it.
What I find ironic is that during the Bill Clinton presidency, avoiding a confrontation with Hillary occupied a high priority with Bill, spilling over into policy decisions. In an Obama presidency, Michelle has already demonstrated her disdain for some of BHO’s habits, and he has admitted that he defers to her on many issues. Two separate cases of two very influential women behind a supposedly powerful figurehead. It makes me uncomfortable to think of either one of them that close to the seat of power.

Wonder how much Obamayamama’s life insurance will shoot up(little pun threre) if he is elected with The Bitch as his VP?
May 11th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I think us taxpayers pick up the tab for that, don’t we 1st? And as for the pun, well…….”shoot up” elicits some speculation of its own.
Obama ought to be really nervous if Hillary ever tells him “I’ve got your back”.

Yeah, that’s comforting. Imagine Bill & HIllary standing behind you.

the number on most likely scenario (never speculated in the MSM, but definitely number one regardless) for HillBilly to get the nomination is for BHO to die in a fiery plane crash somewhere over the Rockies on a campain trip to Oregon. As hashed a million times before, something like that would not be the first time someone in the path of a Clinton wandered into unfortunate circumstances.
Now that I have written this, I actually have to hope it does not come true, simply because someone will be tracing my IP to find out how I came to possess such powers of prognostication. LOL

Unfortunately, you’re probably right Bull, (or fortunately depending on one’s view of the political world).
The Clinton machine has shown the proclivity to rid itself of threats, real or perceived, in the past. I see no reason why they would change tactics now.
Oh my, the crocodile tears would gush from the Clinton’s in public if the Obamessiah were suddenly “Vince Foster’ed” or “Ron Brown’ed”, but inside the machine, Shrillary would smugly cackle and cluck all the way to the WH, riding the wave of the fallen martyr.

Knowing the propensity of blacks to believe any and all conspiracy theories I think they would immediately blame HillBilly if Obama so much as stubbed his toe. Or republicans. Or whites in general. Anyone but themselves.
