8 years of obstructionism! Tell it Big Dawg!

[trumad]

God I love the Big Dawg when he takes on the Republicans.

Great speech yesterday highlighting 8 years of Republican bullshit.

The Republicans are making a big stink about it today with comments like "Billy Bill is losing it" "Proof the Clintons don't get along with Obama" "He's Bizarre" "He's High" ---hell some Republicans are now calling him "Billy Bob".

Fucking shit nob Republicans!

1. Of course, many Sanders' supporters tried the B Clinton was criticizing Obama BS.

[trumad]

2. I do declare!

Really?

[leftofcool]

4. Of course they did. Any port in a storm, even if it's false.

[Lucinda]

3. Not surprising they would object. Their party is in tatters, which is why

T-Rumpy is getting some traction.

5. He said 'Awful Legacy'. That doesn't speak to the GOP obstructionism. It speaks to Obama

and his Presidency. Bill, being an ex-president, knows this very well.

[auntpurl]

12. Right. Explain this to me, then.

Step by step.

Can we begin by agreeing that Bill Clinton is neither stupid nor suffering from Alzheimer's or similar?

Can we agree that not only is Bill Clinton not stupid, he is actually highly intelligent?

Can we agree that it would be the height of stupidity for Bill Clinton to criticise the Obama administration, FOR WHICH HIS WIFE (a current primary contestant) WORKED? To which she has hitched her wagon, publicly stating she will continue Obama's progress?

So lay it out for me. How does this work? Why on earth would he say something like that? And how on earth can any rational, thinking person not know that he was talking about GOP obstructionism?

Seriously, I try to be as polite as possible, but this? This is dumb.

[marions ghost]

22. Absolutely--"awful legacy" is DAMAGING no matter what

--there is no question that Bill is saying we need to return to the 90's, his presidency. He lumps Obama in with Dubya.

Even IF he meant to add the technicality "because of GOP obstructionism"--it is obvious that he is saying Obama's was a presidency as disastrous as Dubya's.

When I saw the video I did a double take. It seemed like a bit of truthiness slipped out....

Supporters, pundits and the Clintons can try to walk this back, but good luck with that. I am SURE the Obamas are like WTF!?

He should have been much more careful about how he talks about the BO presidency. I think we can all agree on that?

6. The speed with which memes transition from right-wing press to DU is remarkable.

It reminds me of a Michael Lewis book I read (Flash Boys I think), where they build a dedicated high-bandwidth line from Chicago to New York just so high-speed traders could get information from one exchange to another a few milliseconds faster. Gotta wonder if there's a line dedicated to getting stories from the Washington Times to GDP.

[Surya Gayatri]

23. At warp speed²...LOL!

"The speed with which memes transition from right-wing press to DU is remarkable."

[auntpurl]

7. That does sound like a Republican argument.

To posit that Bill Clinton, who even the people who hate him the most admit is hugely intelligent, would be criticising the Obama administration in the middle of a primary is the sort of ridiculous claim that a Republican might make.

Then again, I see all sorts of odd things on DU these days.

8. To bad Bill didn't mention the GOP or obstructionism

[FSogol]

10. Too bad most Democrats understood what he was talking about.

[NWCorona]

13. More like want to understand

[FSogol]

15. I think you have that backward. n/t

[DanTex]

24. People who are actually Dems and are actually paying attention know exactly what has

been happening with the GOP over the last eight years.

[NWCorona]

25. Please I called out Bonner on day one

When he was elected speaker and said it was his job to make sure Obama isn't elected for a second term.

Bill had every opportunity to mention the GOP or obstructionism but didn't.

[Orsino]

9. Well, it's not news...

...but it certainly bears repeating.

[Armstead]

11. Big Dawg often speaks first and thinks later

The fact that he gave Republicans and Sanders supporters such easy fodder is evidence of that...just like his comments against Obama in 2008

[trumad]

14. Huh?

He has one of the most brilliant political minds of any politician I've seen.

[Thinkingabout]

16. If anyone can look at this and think the Clintons and Obamas are at war

Has not been keeping up with history in the last eight years. Bill Clinton knows obstruction, he lived it while he was president. It is terrible to have paid the obstructionist big dollars to obstruct and they failed on their original plan of stopping President Obama from having a second term.

Good post, trumad.

[NWCorona]

17. Yes Bill Clinton just loves himself some Obama

[nichomachus]

18. Can you give the exact quote where he said "GOP obstructionism"?

Or is this just another fabrication from the propaganda mill in Camp Weathervane?

[trumad]

19. Why sould I?

I listened to the speech and absolutely knew he was talking about the GOP.

Watching the Republicans bust a nut about it is awesome!

PS: I am absolutely delight to see 100 percent of DU coming together to give the Big Dawg props for going after Republicans.

It is so refreshing to see Bernie and Hillary supporters saying---Yeah Big Dawg---kick those Republicans in the balls!

[Hoyt]

21. The quote was clear, but too many folks read pointing at, and mouthing, each word.

[SamKnause]

20. Bill has some big balls to talk about deregulation.

The death and destruction the Bush family and the Clinton family

have caused this country and the world is incalculable !!!!

Two of the best con artists the world has ever seen.
