Sorry, the post title was a bit inflammatory, but seriously -
Speaking at a "change we need" rally for OBC today:
"I'm here because I love my country, and I love this state, and you know we have to change America's course. I'm here . . . because Hillary sent me."
WTF? You couldn't say that you were speaking because you believe Obama will bring the change we need?
Update: I've been listening for like 5 minutes, and I've yet to hear him say Obama's name. 
Edited: because "courts" should have been "course" ::sigh::
Re: Fvck you, Bill Clinton
Ditto. They don't have to use him, but they continue to do so because people like the Clinton's. Why else would they? If Bill, or Hillary for that matter, started gushing about Obama it would seem so disingenuous that I would begin to feel nausea.
Woohoo!
Okay, he's redeeming himself a little:
"This is why you've got to vote for Barack Obama - (1) He's got the right philosphy, he knows you've got to grow an economy from the ground up, not from the top down (2) Obama's answers are better - on economy, health care, education, etc. (3) He's got better understanding, better advisors, and better answers on this economic stuff..."
Okay, Bill. I take back my fvck you, but you better be on your best behavior from now on.
Obama should have known better than to use Bill. I did love him but his behavior throughout this election has been really weird, I think he's gone off the deep end.
my read shelf:
NIFTY.
BC is now trying to explain the bailout in "real people" terms, i.e. this isn't about wall street, this about you guys. About you being able to buy a refrigerator on an installment plan tomorrow, etc.
I don't think there's anything tinfoil hat about your theory, Tef. And if there is, please. Pass me a hat too and I'll sit with you
I think Bill sometimes believes any other Democrat winning--Gore, Kerry, Obama--will just tarnish HIS legacy.
Think about...he was the only Democrat elected in what, nearly 30 years?
mega-dittoes to this. I was, well, incensed is too strong a word, but highly agitated that he sat there, talking to Jon Stewart with his chin in his hand, like he was bored to tears. It just seemed disrespectful. Don't insult the host with your half-assery, just stay home.
Wasn't Bill in the hospital or having heart problems durin Kerry's campaign? I remember him supporting Kerry but he wasn't able to campaign for him.
It might be for the better, what with Clinton's connection to the sub-prime mess. It might not hurt to have a little distance from Bill right now.
I thought the same about his Daily Show appearance. He's seemed rather crusty lately--aggitated and defensive. I kept thinking back to a Letterman interview of his from way pre-primaries where he was relaxed and good-humored--it's like a total 180.
