Bill Clinton on Obamamania and the Economy

Posted on Sep 24, 2008

The former president gets a little hot under the collar in giving Jon Stewart his take on the financial collapse (without any mention of the deregulatory zeal of his own administration). He also explains why he thinks Obama will win, and why it’s not about whether people love Barack Obama but whether people think Barack Obama loves them.

Clinton has a talent for making people think he loves them. And that’s especially true of women.

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM CAMPAIGNS

At the end of the “Morning Joe” show each morning, each of the three regulars makes a tongue-in-cheek statement of what each has learned today. So, what have we learned from the campaigns for president? We have learned that:

You can actually see Russia from Alaska

Ordinary workers at their tasks determine the fundamental soundness of the U.S. economy

Obama’s use of “look” to introduce a thought has spread to pundits and other politicians

The negative and misleading ads of the McCain campaign were caused by Obama’s refusal to engage in a series of town hall debates

Small town people can be bitter and cling to guns or religion

Hillary Clinton will be ready on day one

McCain has the requisite experience; Obama gave a speech

Obama is a Christian, as far as Hillary knows

Hillary Clinton is from Scranton

Dennis Kucinich is conversant with UFOs

Dennis Kucinich has a gorgeous wife

Joe Biden can give a one word answer

Joe Biden’s wife is “drop-dead gorgeous”

Ron Paul is angry, but not as angry as Mike Gravel

Sarah Palin may be kept in Social Security’s lock box until the election

Sarah Palin can field dress a moose.

John McCain has heard of the e-mail and the google, but is unaware of possible use of telecommuncations and airplanes between Washington and campaign or debate locations

There is such a thing as credit default swaps

Hey Bill Was that Gauntlet Teddy Threw at you about what the Democratic party Really stands For Hit you in the Head as it was Hurled at YOU and HILLARY!

At least Obama is not a Southern Democrat.
We’ve not seen a Democratic president who was
not a Southern Democrat since Kennedy.
