Obamaâ??s performance made our former â??nextâ?? president so confused and seemed to be not happy about it. Bill spent most of the hour praising his wife Hilary and unfairly under-estimating Obamaâ??s ability to be the next president. As far as Washington is concerns, experience means doing same old policies over and over again, and for that reason Hilary is not the one. We know if Hilary elected, Bill would be running the White House again. Obama is the only change agent in this campaign and was experienced enough to vote for that awful war in Iraq, but the experienced Hilary did!
I came here to see the one hour Clinton interview that aired on 12/14/07. Instead all I could find was a short phoner from yeara ago. Why is that? When will the current interview be streamed? Is there always a delay? Thanks for an answer.
From the uninteresting comments below, I think people generally are not enthused about Mrs. Clinton and her family. That's my prediction.
Charlie, please disregard Margaret please!!! She needs to be the one to shut up!! I was very glad to see Bill Clinton face up to the fact that Hillary is not going to be the front runner!! Why doesn't Bill want to give Obama the credit of his 7 years as a State Senator the same as he thinks his 12 years as State Governor in Arkansas prepared him for President. Personally, I don't think Hillary was prepared to be a Junior Senator. The country really needs the change and someone who is really going to look out for all americans brown and white.
Seems a worldly Mr. Clinton kinda lost his composure in his attempt to declare Hillary as the most experienced and accomplished at helping people compared against any? of the senators running... Hillary's campaign equation is about the same as Bill's: know the audience and say a bunch things (intentions) you know they want to hear--also known as prevailing wind platitudes. Just watching Bill fret that nervously about Hillary now in Iowa(in fact not being the obvious candidate to stop this Bush nightmare) was almost creepy in his desperation get the CR audience to vote for Hillary and dynasty Bill in order to lift some personal guilt from his soul? Please, Iowa don't allow it!
Charlie, thanks for reminding us why Bill was impeached by the House. Now, we must demand that you give equal time to all the Presidential candidate spouses.
Charlie you got "cheesy" by trying to get Bill to say that Obama does not have what it takes to be President. Pushed to hard to have Bill say that Hilary was the best prepared to be President.
Charlie, don't worry about what Margaret says. I think the most interesting part of the interviews IS the action between you and the guest. Let's go to lunch! It's on me here in Ann Arbor.
Charlie, Ask the questions and get out of the way! My god your questions just go on and on. You ask great questions, but it takes you forever to get there, and frankly, we don't want to listen to you, we want to listen to your guests. I've been waiting for President Clinton to just tell you to shut the hell up. Get over your own self-importance. It's getting in the way of what once was a great show.
