I think I might do this with my old stuff to get rid of it.

[...] The College Politico » Blog Archive » Bill Clinton admits that … It was meant to be a complement, apparently, but it came off as Bill Clinton telling everyone that Obama was clueless on what to do about the economic crisis. Here’s the original story and the quote:. “I haven’t cleared this with him … … [...]

You’ve taken this WAAAYYYY out of context. I’m a McCain supporter, but what you’ve done in this blog is what I hate about politics in general. Take something that is very true – a leader should be smart enough to seek advice, weight options and meke a calculated decision – and spin it to make someone sound stupid. I was looking forward to finding something to show Barak’s weakness and instead this shows he is an adept leader.

Time for old Bill to go home and sit in twin rocking chairs with Hillary.
Thank God we’ll have a president who will know how to express himself in English and won’t be fooling around with the interns.
Of course, Obama consults with experts. It would be stupid NOT to. That’s what you have advisers for. McPain probably wouldn’t even know anybody to ask.

No one in the whole world knows how to fix these economic problems, because they were caused by “derivatives,” – mainly mortages that were broken into pieces, combined with other pieces, and sold all around the world. Nobody knows what they are or what, if anything, they are worth.
Clinton doesn’t know, and Obama doesn’t know. But at least these two know much more than McCain, whose knowledge of economics is nil. McCain’s chief economics advisor is, or has been, former US Senator Phil Gramm, who was instrumental in getting the banks deregulated.

I don’t think this is a miquote,”President of good Intentions,” because that is ALL the Democrat (not Democratic) party is about, good intentions. Look at some of their grand good intentions that didn’t work, or are failing. Social Security – thank you FDR. (I’m old enough to remember life before the following items.) “The Great Society” i.e. Welfare, and unchecked social program spending – thank you LBJ. The Department of Education – thank you Jimmy Carter.

The Dems don’t judge greatness on results, but on the good intentions and good feelings they promote. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t work, or doesn’t change a thing. Just throw some more taxpayer money at it and transfer wealth from productive citizens to people who will never be productive under the current climate. It doesn’t matter that Social Security is a ponzi scheme – we would put anyone but politicians in jail for such a plan. ‘Nor the Great Society has not changed the percentage of people below the poverty level any appreciable amount, or that our schools are becoming gang battleground daycares, it’s the thought that counts.

How about this novel idea. Help the sick, the disabled, and those who work but need a hand – to be repaid later. Every able bodied person should be on their own.

I voted Democrate all my life, but I sure can’t see where they found this Obama fellow. They must have been real desperate for a candadate. I have now turned Republican along with most of my family members and glad of it. Senator McCain is a true American and we are all proud of him. He made a good choice when he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate.

“You tell me what’s right — I’ll figure out how to sell it”

How does this quote stand with all you who are defending Obama?

He obviously had no clue what to do and needed to run to Billary for help… or, at least, that’s what Bill is saying.
