Send In The Clowns: Clinton Takes Over Obama's Presser As The President Flees

This would be funny if it wasn't pathetic.

Mr. Bill had a private meeting with President Obama at the White House and afterwards the two of them attended a press conference. Obama spoke a sentence or two about what a productive meeting they had , Clinton made an initial statement about Obama's tax compromise with the Republicans.

..and then simply stayed at the podium to call on reporters and take questions.

Obama stood there in silence for a few minutes, and then said he had to go see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."



And then Clinton dismissed him, saying, "I don't want to make her mad, please go."

Not only did Mr. Bill ramble on for a while about economics, he continued on to a whole slew of other topics, including pimping for the START treaty, AKA unilateral nuclear disarmament by the US. I'm sure the reporters loved it.

On the tax deal, Clinton said, "Both sides are going to have to eat some things they don't like. We don't want to slip back into a recession. (What does he think we're in now??!?) We've got to keep this thing going and accelerate its pace. I think this is the best available option."

He may think so,but I don't see him or Obama convincing the Lame Duck House Democrats. it's probably better anyway to simply wait for the new Congress to be seated,pass a proper bill with fewer concessions to Obama and then just make it retroactive for the 2010 tax year.

This is beyond pathetic. Here we have a sitting president of the United States ducking out and running for cover to attend holiday parties with Mooch-elle while Bill Clinton, who is apparently now our Assistant President substitutes for him. 

Being president is more than speeches, golf, Airforce One and foreign trips...it's ajob and it involves work, especially when the heat is on. What did we elect ?

If any of you have ever been to a rodeo, you'll notice that there are clowns in attendance. But their job isn't comedy. They're there to distract the bull and allow a rider to escape when the rider isn't up to the job and gets thrown on his butt.

That's what we saw today.


Note: 
Dedicated to Obama and his entire Administration:
