Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in the 2008 election by describing Barack Obama this way: "A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags."
... This anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill Clinton and Obama:
... Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”
Clinton is giving a keynote address at the Democratic convention this week in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Notice Hillary wasn't going lower herself to run as VP under the Spending Machine.
Why do you think his educational records are sealed?
And the libs will somehow blame BUSH?
And not to exclude Matt Damon slam of Obama, Democrats: 'One Term President With Some Balls Would Have Been Better' appearing in the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
"I've talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level. One of them said to me, 'Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician,'" Damon tells the magazine. "You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."

When campaigning against Hillary, Hussein found himself attempting to hit back at President Bill Clinton ~~~
You might remember more clearly what the other republican candidates said about the "inevitable" candidate just a few months ago.
"For me, politics is not a career"
"I long for the day when politicians serve their country and go home"
And a humble and patriotic rebuttal to Gingrich's assault.
Thanks for posting.
The more I hear from Romney, the more I like him.
Who knows what he will "long for" tomorrow? He's changed his mind on everything he's ever said before who knows if he will remember that line tomorrow?
He could self-righteously take the high road when he was personally assaulted by his fellow republicans, he just let the unfettered super paks carpet bomb in his stead.
For most people, the more they hear from Romney, the more they wonder what the heck he's saying. Go figure.
He's saying he's not a radical ideologue . . .
that being elected by the people, he serves the people's will not his own.
For instance, I myself have wavered on abortion I'm Pro-Life to a point. I believe that in the case of rape or incest it's warranted. And then there are some days where I can see how, if a woman doesn't want a child, she can terminate its development. And there are days where I abhor the idea of a life being snuffed out before it enters this world.
The best position I could state now would be the same as Romney . . . allowing abortion in cases like rape or incest . . . but frowning upon it as a means of birth control . . . as in not including it as being covered under 'standard' health care.
So, yeh, I can relate to someone like that.
Simply, you would be hard put to find any woman regardless what her ideology is, to find it a "simple" matter to terminate. Its a life-changing decision and regardless if she's Right, Left or in the Middle would never take it lightly. But in the end, it should be her decision and none of us know what brought her to that point in her life and we have no right to know why.
As an aside, the fact what I find the most frustrating, is that in this day and age, there should be NO need to make such an awful decision as this. No woman should become pregnant anymore if she does not want to be....unless she is indeed assaulted and given no choice.
I'm not even sure why the GOP has such an extreme position. The only candidate I know of that holds that position is Santorum.
There certainly isn't wide-spread support for it.
Like I said, not even Romney supports it.
That he's an independent thinker . . . and will to break away from some of its idiotic stances.
That's why I'm voting for him.
Can you say the same about our Divider-in-Chief?
My kind of guy.
And in the 2008 debates, Obama's statements and Hillary's responses, reflect Obama hasn't performed to be worthy of another four years.
That video should be shown as the definition of hypocrite.
Could he even handle a three year campaign to get his wife in office when he's 70? I think they'll pass on 2016 and enjoy retirement instead.
Can you believe that summer is just about gone? Its been a tough one. The kids go back to school tomorrow and there will be no little darlings coming by. We leave for New England later in the month and I'm really looking forward to that. How about you, any plans for the Fall?
Let me know how the "paces" come out! My son-in-law is crazy about that activity and he does it every chance he gets.
