The Big Dog needs to take a break
he needs to take a few days off from campaigning. get some rest. he even fell asleep at that king service.

i don't agree with him on a lot of things but i do want him to be well.

a few days off the campaign trail should provide rest and maybe a new perspective on everything . and he might even do better when he starts campaigning again.

1. He seems healthy enough
I'm glad he's campaigning for her and making one error in judgment after another. It just helps Obama.

2. I quite agree
If he makes himself ill pushing himself like this, a lot of highly partisan people will be screaming that he's only doing it to get attention. And who they will be depends on when it happens.

Ideally: Bill stays healthy. He still has a lot of work to do, and I do not mean helping Hillary get elected.

--p!

3. NO. We want more red-faced, finger-wagging rants from Bill.
Please keep it up, "Big Dog".

4. I saw the video of him falling asleep during the MLK service...
He didn't look well at all. And whatever you think of him, that's NOT like him.

7. He's probably being sent to the dog house for crapping on the carpet.

8. HRC's SC defeat came on the 10th anniversary
of the Clinton White House statement "I did not have sexual relations with that woman (Monica Lewinsky)."
There was a good reason Al Gore distanced himself from Clinton in 2000. The damage done to our party helped usher in 8 years of conservative rule and a preemtive war. I can forgive, but I'll never forget.

12. I am with you on that
I really had hope for our country and party when The Clintons became POTUS in the 90s. They blew healthcare big time. They caused the 94 GOP takeover in congress. They moved policy to center-right to remain in power and damn near got impeached for behavior so embarrassing you would think they wouldn't have the nerve to try to do it all over again.

9. Or find a different tree, and why is Hillary so curiously yellow?
:hide:

BTW: Why does Hillary need his presence to get anywhere in this race; especially given how far in the power chain he'd made it... That gives Hillary more of a unique perk than anything else.

10. Is Bill color blind? He's been wearing some wacky color combos lately.
:wow:

15. I think that may be the style lately. I was looking at the Sunday paper ads and noticed...
That the shirts are getting more garish in their coloring.

16. Oh no! Say it isn't so.
What's next, lime green leisure suits?

Big purple hats?

18. Remember how stylish he used to dress? Something is fishy to me...
When you combine Clinton's wacky behavior with these odd ensembles..I'm really beginning to wonder if he's alright.

13. I think he needs to back way off- for his
own sake, and Hillary's.

I can't help but like him, and he really did a good job as president all things considered, but his impact on this race isn't a positive one, for any of us.

While I support Obama, and much of what BC has done has backfired and benefited my candidate of choice, in the long run, negative- over-the top campaigning effects all of us in a destructive way.

We have to live and work together.

That reality is a big enough challenge without being fueled by the negative- self destructive kinds of campaign rhetoric that BC can't seem to avoid resorting to.

For BC's sake- for all our sakes, I hope he pulls back, and tones down.


peace~

17. He's not helping
He's reminding people of everything they hated about the Clinton Ad., and none of the things they liked. If he's going to speak, he should be talking about his balanced budgets, peace & prosperity, Hillary's strengths, etc. Not attacking like a rabid unbalanced pit bull. My suggestion for the Clinton campaign: Come up with a pageant platform for Bill. He can talk about the "issue" that he will focus on as First Husband (AIDS, tsunami relief, etc.) and his vision for what he can accomplish while at the White House. Show voters that he'll do more than have scandals & get in fights w/the press.

19. I agree. He is campaigning like it's about him even his speech last night
was about him rather than why Hillary would be a good president.
