In these trying times, two Presidents are now required.

It's just too hard. It's just too much for one man. This is the new Democratic party model.

The display of weakness is staggering.

1. It is called "pimping" as far as I am concerned..

Obama knows he cannot sell that sack of shit, so he is calling on Clinton to try to do it.

[Goldstein1984]

2. It's not a display of weakness...

It's a display of strength in numbers--ruling class numbers.

They've built a house of cards, and the people are figuring that out. They're struggling to keep a system that rewards their class so well from collapsing.

4. When met with such obstruction...

It makes sense to pull out the big guns/dogs on your side.

6. I agree, Bill Clinton is the Dems trump card and they are playing

him now in support of Obama's two of clubs.

8. a Tom Robbins Quote:

"Men live by embedding, themselves in ongoing systems of illusion. Religion. Patriotism. Economics. Fashion"
- from Villa Incognito

That's a pretty good assessment of the times we live in.

12. An elegant way of saying we have to deal with a lot of bullshit.

Thank's for that. :)

3. It's sad

[griffi94]

5. this must be a bitter pill

for obama to have to ask bill clinton to come and bail him out.
and then clinton kept the podium. lol

7. What is staggering is the delusion of some

to believe that they need to wake up every day
and kick Obama in the ass in order to feel whole.

It is also a shame that many Democrats sit on the sideline
throwing rocks, and get mad that this president has allies
with some juice with the general public.

Also stinks that some folks are so into calling the current president weak,'
that they will suspend the reality of the fact that this meeting was
always going to happen (since after the election),
and that strength comes from numbers.

doh!

[PassingFair]

10. We're with Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Progressive Caucus.

The President is obviously NOT.

I don't wake up looking to kick Obama
in the ass, but he works overtime working
out compromises that give republicans
MORE THAN THEY ASKED FOR.

:crazy:

[Kennah]

9. Anyone for a PM and a parliamentary system?

[Tatiana]

11. Damn. WTF ever happened to JOE BIDEN and his MIDDLE CLASS TASK FORCE?

What happened to that? Where's the recommendations from that committee?

This has been a truly unreal day in politics.

I'm a realist and not overly prone to hyperbole, but it almost feels like we are witnessing a Presidential floundering.

Where is Joe???
