Clinton: Obama ‘Getting His Groove Back’Posted on Sep 19, 2010
Bill Clinton says Barack Obama is “getting his grove back” after being “socked by the intensity of Republican opposition” during the first 20 months of his presidency. The president’s failure to win the backing that he expected from the GOP “disoriented him for a while,” Clinton said. —JCL

Mark my words, IMO a deal was made between Clinton and Company and Obama
Report thisand Company. Remember those secret meetings between Barry and Hillary just
before Hillary capitulated her bid for the Presidency? Barry will walk into the
sunset after his first term allowing Hillary to pick up the Democratic ticket in
2012. Part of the deal made was Hillary’s position as Secretary of State to allow her
to look more worldly. Now Bubba is beginning to panic because Obama and
Company are into a tail spin with the Democratic base. He is just covering Hillary’s
butt. Don’t even doubt that Hillary and Bill don’t want back into the White House
and Barry just wants go on his merry way with all the perks of a retired and
wealthy statesman. They are all corporate shills.

This sucks. Here is blue dog ultra slick willie, a cause or the
cause, of the economic crisis playing MC about what is wrong
with o and the government giving the people a pep talk on a big
turnaround, especially since usatoday carried a piece about how
the recession ended in June 2009 after 18 months of no
quarterly growth. Means o is groving for sure and he’ll be
mojoing until the 2012 elections.
What it is, is slick willie trying to keep the clinton name in
politics cause I bet he’ll be damned if hillbilly hillary ain’t gonna
be president either in 2012 or at least 2016. You know, more of
that family ruling dynasty shit that has laid waste to this country
by reagan, bush clinton bush and now o, and slick willie is doing
his all to make sure it happens as his advice to dimocrats is that
they should focus on what the are going to do in office. What
kind of blue dog crap is that. Man, if the dimocrats haven’t even
thought they were in office they how in the hell will they start
focusing on what they are going to do in office?
And to cap it off this reference article comes from fux news.

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
I don’t think Mr. Clinton’s words are necessarily reflective of desperation, however. I think they more accurately reflects the depth of the cynicism and contempt that the Democratic Party’s thought-leaders have for the intelligence of their base.
It should impel the left, the indies and disaffected Dems to write the Democrats/DNC off now and forever. The good news is that much of that may be done by fiat at the ballot box in 2010.
As Naomi Klein recently said, it is time for a viable third party consisting of these same folks—a party that could actually command a plurality of voters—for the all-important elections in 2012.
Without it, there is a fairly good chance the Tea Party might win instead. It’s a very big deal, and we had better begin planning for it, or else begin planning for a third party of our choosing.

“The president’s failure to win the backing that he expected from the GOP ‘disoriented him for a while,’ Clinton said. “
You really can’t be serious about that, Mr. Clinton. It’s disingenuous.
Things really must have gotten bad for Obama, because the Democrats only call out Bill Clinton for disasters. Because they feel like it’s a safe bet his popularity, can help influence the voters.
But not anymore. People realize that Bill Clinton, wasn’t good for this country, that he was the best friend the Republicans ever had.
Now they expect to blow, off Obama’s deeds with this, piece of garbage, forget it.
Get, Rid of Summers, and Geithner, and all the others from Goldman Sachs, and you’ve got something to talk about. Not until then.
Obama’s in trouble, because got caught collaborating with the enemy, his seduction of the American people is no longer working.

does Obama’s failure to deliver his promises and vision show us that presidents have no power? Corporations (oil, drugs, insurance, military, emerging agriculture) are the real power?

What planet is President Obama from? The Republicans piss all over everything that Obama does, so why does Obama care one flip what the A-holes think, that includes all the clowns on Fox News. Maybe, it is because Obama is an A-hole too, where the financial elite plays him for a stooge.

The Democrats have become so morally, intellectually and politically degenerate that a new word needs to be created to describe them.
