Priceless: Bill Clinton Says Obama Must Kiss his Ass for his Support … Democratic Unity?

So this is what the Democratic Party calls “unity”? The wrath of Bubba … Bill Clinton, I am still important dammit … don’t you Democrats know who I am! Bill v. Barack is not over yet.

From the Gateway Pundit … Perfect!

Sometimes things that happen in politics are priceless … this one goes above and beyond. No matter how the Obama and Clinton campaigns want to spin “unity,” it is obvious that there is such bitterness that cannot be ignored. So what will it take for Bill Clinton to give Obama his support? According to the UK Telegraph, Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must ‘kiss my ass’ for his support.

Mr Obama is expected to speak to Mr Clinton for the first time since he won the nomination in the next few days, but campaign insiders say that the former president’s future campaign role is a “sticking point” in peace talks with Mrs Clinton’s aides.

The Telegraph has learned that the former president’s rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.

A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could “kiss my ass” in return for his support.

A second source said that the former president has kept his distance because he still does not believe Mr Obama can win the election.

Hot Air brings up many good points as to why Team Obama would even want the Bill and Hillary Show campaigning for him in for the general election. They are nothing more than a liability and Bill Clinton shows all the signs of hostility of a former President that has faded into obscurity. Bubba shows all the signs of a bitter elder statesman whose time has come and gone, yet he does not realize it or has no intentions of believing it.

From The Corner:

This Unity, New Hampshire, event was the ultimate in political mortification for Hillary Clinton.

I may be crazy. But Bill Clinton is not going to let himself be humiliated.

UPDATE I: McAuliffe: Bill Clinton and Obama to talk within 48 hours

Try as they might, this rift isn’t getting solved any time soon. The tension between Barack and Bill seems to have all the makings of a bitter divorce and a marriage gone bad rather than a campaign. The one thing that the political pundits left out in all of their analysis was that the emotions were at a fever pitch for both Clinton and Obama and throw in the elder statesman Bill as well. Politics is supposed to be just business.

“I believe that in the next 24 to 48 hours they will talk and off we will go,” McAuliffe stated on Sunday’s Late Edition.

Clinton has remained behind the scenes so far during the general election. He was not present at the Democratic event in Unity, New Hampshire on Friday and has only released a one-sentence statement saying that he will do whatever he can to help the Illinois senator win the election.

Many analysts have said that Clinton’s not-so-subtle absence from the campaign is because he is angry and bitter about his wife losing the nomination.

More Obama Support from the Pulpit … Rev. Michael Pfleger Mocks Hillary’s “White Entitlement”

What is wrong with these preachers who support Barack Obama? First Reverend Wright and now Rev. Michael Pfleger. This is truly disgraceful. Do any of these so-called pastors, preachers or reverends that support Obama ever actually talk about Jesus or God?

Watch the video HERE

Obama distances himself from another clergyman

At this rate Obama may run out of clergy by November’s election. As the Gateway Pundit states, why does Obama’s church continue to rail against “whitey”?

“She just always thought that, ‘This is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white.’ … And then, out of nowhere, came ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama.” And she said, ‘Oh damn, where did you come from? I’m white. I’m entitled. There’s a black man stealing my show,’” Pfleger said at Trinity United Church of Christ.

He then went on to parody Clinton, sobbing and wiping his face with a handkerchief.

“She wasn’t the only one crying,” he said. “There was a whole lot of white people crying.”

Obama’s painful new headache

The Rev. Michael Pfleger’s “I’m white! I’m entitled … black man stealing my show” outburst about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from the pulpit of the Obama family church, Trinity United Church of Christ, created a political problem for likely Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama that won’t disappear.

Hillary Clinton: I’m Staying in Race, You Never Know if Obama Could Gets Shot Like Robert Kennedy … Assassination Comments!!!

Hey Obama, if your people are actually discussing having Hillary as your VP, you may want to rethink that idea. I am not sure if you want you potential VP talking or even thinking assassination thought.

Hillary Clinton defended her staying in the Democratic race, according to he NY Post, raising the assassination of Robert Kennedy. Geez Hillary, how to you really feel? Talk about wanting to win at all cost. This might be that Austin Powers moment when he was un-thawed and shouted out what he was thinking, not actually realizing that anyone heard his comment. That may actually be a better excuse for Hillary. Blame it on Cryogenics de-thawing. 

I guess this it was we refer to in the political industry as a shot across the bow, literally. This may be the dumbest comment of the political season. With the Clinton’s, its all about the victory.

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.”

Clinton regrets Kennedy assassination remark

Michelle Malkin asks the question whether this is the final death nail for Hillary Clinton. I would go one better. How can Barack Obama after such a comment in any good conscience put Hillary Clinton as a Veep on his ticket? If Obama does, he may have to grow eyes in the back of his head. Who succeeds the President?

Hot Air discusses the controversial comments and the obligatory defense of the statements after the Obama camp “shot back” guns a blazin.

“She was simply referencing her husband in 1992 and Bobby Kennedy in 1968 as historic examples of the nominating process going well into the summer. Any reading into beyond that would be inaccurate,” responded Clinton campaign spokesperson Mo Elleithee.

UPDATE I: Clinton faces uproar with Kennedy assassination comment

UPDATE II: Hillary Clinton Raises the Specter of the Unspeakable

Smart candidates don’t invoke the possibility of their opponents being killed. This seems so obvious it shouldn’t need to be said, but apparently, it needs to be said.

UPDATE III: HILL’S ‘ASSASSIN’ TALK A SHOCKER

Any comments about assassination and the primary contest are especially sensitive because Obama is the first African-American to advance so far in the race for the White House and he has faced threats, congressional sources have said.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has already expressed anger toward Clinton during the race, planned to spend his rally today at his Harlem-based National Action Network addressing “a sense of outrage and dismay at statements made by” the New York senator, according to his office.

Hillary Clinton Routs Obama in Kentucky Primary 65% - 30% … Obama Should be Concerned with Exit Polls

Hillary Clinton wins in a landslide in the Kentucky Primary, 65% – 30%. Clinton beat Obama across the board in all age groups, income groups and education levels. The only demographic that Obama won was once again blacks, 87%–7%. The Kentucky Primaries further showed the division in the Democratic party and the obvious fact that Barack Obama, the presumptive candidate, cannot close the deal.

Hillary Clinton tells crowd in Louisville, KY, “We’re winning the popular vote, and I’m more determined than ever to see that every vote is cast and every ballot is counted.”

Two-thirds of Clinton’s supporters there said they would vote Republican or not vote at all rather than for Obama, according to the polls.

Forty-one percent of Clinton supporters said they’d cast their vote for John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and 23 percent said they would not vote at all.

Just 33 percent said they would back Obama in the general election, according to the polls.

Obama having an impossible time convincing white, blue collar Democrats to vote for him. Exit polls show that whites backed Hillary Clinton. The exit polls were not kind to Obama:

• Seven in 10 whites overall backed Clinton in Kentucky, including about three quarters of those who have not completed college.
• only about four in 10 working-class whites in Kentucky said they would vote for Obama in a matchup with John McCain in the general election.
• An equal number said they would support the Republican, and the rest said they would not vote.
• About one in five whites said race played a role in choosing a candidate Tuesday.
• Only three in 10 whites who said race was a factor said they would vote for Obama should he oppose McCain in November.
• Nearly four in 10 said they would back McCain, while the rest said they wouldn’t vote.
• Among whites who said race was not a factor in picking a candidate Tuesday, half said they would support Obama over McCain.
• Just four in 10 Clinton supporters said she should pick Obama as her running mate should she win the nomination. The same number of Obama backers want Clinton to run as his vice president.

Fresh of the 41 point West Virginia Primary blow out, Hillary Clinton addressed the crowd tonight after her 36 point Kentucky win.

“Tonight we’ve achieved an important victory,” Clinton told an enthusiastic crowd at her victory rally in Louisville, Ky. “It’s not just Kentucky bluegrass that’s music to my ears, it’s the sound of your overwhelming vote of confidence, even in the face of some pretty tough odds.” (FOX News)

UPDATE I: Obama takes Oregon; Clinton wins Kentucky

(CNN) — Despite Hillary Clinton’s landslide victory in Kentucky, Barack Obama has won a majority of pledged delegates in the race for the Democratic nomination

Clinton won Kentucky by more than 30 points, but Obama’s share of the state’s 51 delegates was enough put him over the threshold, according to CNN estimates.

Obama is expected to pick up at least 14 delegates in Kentucky, and by CNN estimates, that will give him 1,627 of the 3,253 pledged delegates at stake in all of primaries and caucuses.

GUTLESS Republicans … TN Senator Bob Corker Tells Tennessee GOP to Stop Free Speech … Corker Sides with Obama’s … Spouses Not Fair game

TN Senator Bob Corker, another shining example of why the Republican Party is in shambles and Republican voters are turning away from the process. Gutless Republicans have done more to destroy their own party than any Democrat or the Main Stream Media. Corker’s comments are a perfect example of why Republicans may not even be able to carry Tennessee for McCain in ‘08.

To the Republican Party … You GUTLESS bunch of elitist … ever wonder why you are in the minority in both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate? Every wonder why Democrats now have the majority of State Governorships? Wonder why it is being projected that in this Falls election in 2008 that the Republican party is going to lose even more seats?

ITS BECAUSE YOU SO-CALLED REPUBLICANS ARE GUTLESS!!!

A day after the cry baby Obama’s go on Good Morning America, whining like a bunch of school kids who didn’t get their way regarding “so-called” attacks against Michelle Obama … Republican Senator Bob Corker has stepped in and condemned the Tennessee state Republican party for running an ad criticizing Michelle Obama’s lack-o’-pride comments.

The office of Senator Bob Corker, Republican from Tennessee, has weighed in today, siding with Senator Barack Obama’s objections to the state’s G.O.P. Web campaign against Michelle Obama.

To recap, the officialdom of the Tennessee G.O.P. posted a Web spot that mines remarks Mrs. Obama made in February that “first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” The ad repeats footage of her speaking those words, interspersed with comments from Tennesseans, talking about how they’ve always been proud to be an American.

…Mr. Corker’s chief of staff, Todd Womack, demanded that his boss’ state party remove the Web ad:

After the Republican National Committee damaged our campaign with their infamous ‘Call Me’ ad — which we immediately denounced — we have strongly encouraged the national party and state parties to absolutely refrain from getting involved in negative personal campaigning, and we have asked the state party to remove their You Tube ad from their Web site.

Republicans will be in much better shape if we spend our time focused on issues like reducing federal spending, lowering the cost of health care and creating a coherent energy policy.

As was posted yesterday regarding if spouses are fair game, they are if they put themself out their to be. The question at hand is are candidates spouses Fair game? The answer is it depends on how the spouse presents them self. Why is Michelle Obama off limits, yet Bill Clinton is not? What’s the difference, I thought women wanted equality? Funny, no one cared when Republican candidate Fred Tompson’s wife, Jeri Thompson Kehn, was called a trophy wife and much worse. The heck with spouses, GWB’s underage children were not even off limits during his two terms and they were not even campaigning.

Even before her husband’s campaign is official, Jeri Thompson has had her share of publicity. She has had to fend off insinuations about her age and good looks — including a New York Times reference to her as a “trophy wife.”

And Now For Something Completely Different … Clinton’s Turn on The Media

Hillary Clinton bites the hand that fed her and her husband for 8+ years. Its no longer a Right Wing Conspiracy for Hillary, its a Left Wing Media one. However, this time it appears to be real.

Back when Hillary Clinton first decided to run for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, she had to have thought that the media was her ally and in her back pocket. For eight years under President Bill Clinton the MSM all but looked the other way and made excuses for his actions in order to prevent impeachment so that their candidate could remain in office. Did the media talk about Monica, yes they did. However, the MSM was AWOL when discussing Clinton’s dealings with China, corporate scandals, Presidential pardons, and the many others.

Flash forward to the 2008 run for the White House and for something completely different … Hillary Clinton fires back at the media. What a difference an election cycle makes. Once the darlings of the media, Hillary Clinton now finds herself the enemy of the media as the MSM has all but for quite some time sided with the chosen one, Barack Obama.

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is increasingly aiming its punches not at her front-running opponent Barack Obama, but at the media.

On the campaign trail, in a new ad and in her meetings with donors and superdelegates, she blasts the D.C. punditocracy for counting her out and urges anyone who’ll listen to ignore the hardening storyline that places Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee.

The Clinton camp believes a media backlash drove up turnout among her supporters in West Virginia, which last week delivered a landslide 67 percent to 26 percent victory for her.

“Because I believe that I am better prepared to be president and I am more likely to be able to win, I don’t care what the pundits say. I’m going to leave it up to the voters,” Clinton said Friday night at a televised town hall meeting at Portland’s NBC affiliate.

Much to the media’s dismay, Hillary Clinton is up big in the Kentucky primary polls, 65% – 29%, and looks to be on the door step of another pasting of Obama coming down to the primary wire.
