Mr. Bush offered his thoughts not only on Mr. McCain, but also on the other remaining Republican candidate, Mike Huckabee, and the Democrats as well. He also defended former President Bill Clinton, who has been accused of playing on racial sentiments by attacking Mrs. Clinton's opponent, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.

"I can understand why President Clinton wants to campaign hard for his wife," Mr. Bush said. "And you know, these accusations that Bill Clinton is a racist I think is just wrong. I just don't agree with it."

Mr. Bush did not stick with his earlier prediction that Mrs. Clinton would win.

"I predicted Senator Clinton because I knew that she understands the klieg lights and understands the pressures," he said, adding, "And that race seems far from over to me."

:puke:

is that Bill Clinton gets along with everyone. The fact Bush stated Clinton is no racist doesn't make Clinton the enemy. Get over it.

to be in same room as *.

But smiling that genuinely in the presence of an evil man like Bush indicates a there's something seriously wrong.

I don't think I'd be capable of anything more than a scowl if I was in the same room as that asshole. More than likely I'd want to punch him in his monkey face.

Hey Bill, there's nothing funny about Bush, nothing.

:eyes:

Why pushing so hard for Hillary to get the nomination? :eyes:

:rofl:

Someone hasn't been paying attention to the Obamanation rhetoric post-SC, methinks.

"...these accusations that Bill Clinton is a racist I think is just wrong." These...is...? WTF, no wonder why the country is in such bad shape!

that after that picture was taken, Bill went home to take a shower and and change clothes. Then he sent that suit to the dry cleaners. Ugh.

One of the very few times that I agree with anything that Bush has to say. Bill Clinton is NOT a racist and Hillary HAS been under the klieg lights and knows what it takes to be president.

Accusations ARE wrong, you nincompoop! That, and nobody is saying Clinton is a racist. Geeze Louise, he's actually dumber than the most hysterical flamebaiter on this board. Is there any idea in politics this man can't dumb down?

prospect of an Obama Administration.

Seems like those of us supporting Obama are on the right track.

Oh, and nobody called Bill Clinton a racist. Seems those pushing that here on DU have an ally in George W. Bush, pushing that meme now, too.

HILLARY CLINTON!

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!

I didn't think Bush would know what a klieg light was. I always figured he called them "them bright shiny thingies there."
