Bill Clinton: Obama can kiss my *ss

Bill Clinton is still begrudging Obama over Hillary's loss. He expects Obama to come apologizing to him begging for his support. As of yet Obama hasn't contacted him, which has hurt Bill's ego. Obama is set to reach out to Bill Clinton soon, but he hasn't done it in time for Billy Boy to not be offended.

Sources close to Clinton are shocked at his rage and contempt towards Obama. The Dems aren't used to his rage being focused on them. In any event I thought it made for an interesting article:

The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.

A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support.
But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: "He's been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn't. I've spoken to a couple of people who he's been in contact with and he is mad as hell.

"He's saying he's not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.

"You can't talk like that about Obama - he's the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around.

"Hillary's just getting on with it and so should Bill."
Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must 'kiss my ass' for his support - Telegraph

I read another article about a reporter asking Bill Clinton what he thought of Obama and Bill laughed in his face and then walked away without answering the question. It's amazing what has happened to his reputation over this campaign. I wonder if his legacy will be Monica and his crybaby attitude after his wife lost the nomination.

I'd imagine it's often much harder for the spouse of a candidate to move on with things after an election.. I think he still harbors a lot of guilt, because really it was him that galvanized the African American population.. Before his comments there were still a lot of questions about whether he was "black enough," after his comments they heavily rallied around his campaign.. and that made the difference in many important primary areas

He gives great speeches. He just needs to focus on those and not make comments on how he feels or his position on things. He needs to realize he is not the one running for office and his positions do not matter. Maybe he does realize it but the verbal diarreahh he has had lately doesn't support it.

I think it hurts Bill that he's not as powerful as he may have thought.

I have to admit I'm shocked that he couldn't get Hillary nominated. It really says alot about Obama to overcome the Clinton brand name and get the nom.
