Bill Clinton Snubs Obama

President Obama and Hillary Clinton may have buried hatchet, but Bill, it seems, is soldiering on: “In a slap at President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton will headline a fundraiser for a New York congresswoman challenging White House-backed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the state's Democratic primary,” the Associated Press writes. Gillibrand was appointed to fill Clinton’s seat earlier this year, and President Obama intervened at one point to dissuade Rep. Steve Israel from challenging her.

Obama didn't support Bill Clinton's first choice for president last year, so there is no reason for Bill Clinton to support Obama's first choice in the NY Senate race.
Why do I get the feeling
Plant-
That this is your first time out there
Supporting Bill Clinton?
I don't think that was support?!
OK squigg- I don't know
What's up with you today.
Let me rephrase.
It's excusing Clinton only because
He takes a position different
From Obama's.
Now your talking rita! I agree wholeheartedly!!!!!!
Absolutely!
Why should he have to walk in lock-step with Obama? Surely it's obvious to everyone who follows politics that both Clinton's are much less far to the left than Obama. Most recently, the story about Hillary Clinton urging Obama to use tougher language in support of the Iranians demonstrating/protesting in the streets shows that she is willing to take a strong stand for people fighting and dying for freedom, as well.
Not enough fun in Haiti!
Ha ha................I'll bet BIll Clinton could find a nice bit of "fun" in Haiti.....
Yes, I've heard it's much nicer than Argentina this time of year.
Got to love the irony......have the Democrats realized yet that Obama is far to the right of the Clintons?
huh?
It's called a 'choice', not a 'snub'. Bill Clinton is a former President himself, so if he looks at two candidates and decides one is a better choice for his endorsement than the other, that's his effing call. Anyone who thinks that Obama being President means that he gets to dictate where Bill Clinton goes and who Bill Clinton supports isn't a true Democrat, because that's filthy GOP thinking right there.
Democrats are supposed to have the freedom to decide, rather than have their decisions made for them by whoever happens to be the top party member at the time.
I agree. Well put.

Lame.
What's interesting is that New York magazine just reported that Gillibrand had the support of the Clintons, which is at odds with this report.
Much ado about nothing. Clinton is his own man and can back whoever he wants. Expecting anything less is ridiculous.
True.
Still, no matter how you slice it, Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton is a jerk and a fallen man, and I am a Democrat. Whoever put their love one through a public humiliation is not fit for leadership, that goes for both Bill and Mark Sanford, and many failed politician husbands in between. The post-presidency Bill proves to be petty and vengeful. He cannot resolve to the fact that his political style is so 1980s and hate Obama for his uppity gut. He can jab at Obama whenever he got a chance, but that is not going to hurt, because he is getting more and more irrelevant and will become more so if he continues his antics of not getting on board. I say, WHATEVER,
Mr.NAFTA opened up the drug trade even more with his freemason secret society agenda.Hey, Bill tells us about the Bilderbergs and when there going too meet again.Or tells about the old drug running days with you and your brother did'nt you pradon'd him.What about boys night out did every mother and father hide there daughters when you where there.Hey,I heard you and Bush where bothers according to the dictator.Tell us how your brothers Bill I know the Freemason brotherhood is'nt that right "BILL".Tell us how NAFTA was part of the Freemason secret society agenda to open up america. Come clean Mr.Clinton tell us about THE GOLDEN PHEONIX pin hillary wore on here trip to china when you where president and tell us what it means Mr.Clinton tell us Mr.Clinton that your not part of the secret societies.JFK tryed to warn us about the powermongers........!

Bill Clinton.
Does it matter to anybody who he supports?
An aging joke.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand must be thrilled. After Clinton supported his wife for presidency - she lost. He supported his friend for Democratic governor race in Virginia - he lost. Does anyone know who the last person he supported and won?
Not to be weird, but follow the link & you'll see the resemblance between Clinton's pick and his better half...
Thank you.
