Bill Clinton is 100% correct. Barry is not ready; not qualified. Barry Hussein is an empty suit.

McCain/Hillary 2008!

All the hyper-parsing of Clinton's remarks reminds me of the old days when people would play Beatles songs backwards at the wrong speed trying to find secret hidden messages.

Said John: "It's a fookin' song."

I think it's obvious that the Clinton's and Obama don't like each other all that much. The Clinton's believe Obama cut in line and this was Hillary's time and something she has been working over a decade towards. Obama believes Hillary ran a scorched earth campaign with the sole target of hurting Obama's chances in the general election.

I don't know if Bill Clinton ever lost an election in his life, but he's still extremely bitter.

The one quote from the interview says it all when he alluded to the fact he'd have a lot more to say after the election. First of all if it was positive of Obama he'd say it. But even more telling is I don't think he'd slam the new President, meaning he still expects Obama to lose. Then it will be a former President smacking down a junior senator from Illinois. You can bet Clinton is diddling himself at that thought.

I'm a big Obama-Clinton supporter but this has all been very disturbing. It's also a big setback in terms of getting his wife on the ticket which she still has a chance at. He just keeps on screwing up.

Like others have said, it's not a matter of parsing words. He should've quickly shot out a resounding "Yes" and chose not to. The man's a season politician and one of the best thinkers and speakers on the planet so this was no mistake. He knew what he was doing.

My God, if Barry & Bill could just sit down for an evening I swear they'd squash it. But Bill might be expecting Obama to reach out to him first and that's not the way it works. He won, he's the big dog. It's up to Bill to reach out and say "Man let's meet up and have it out. Let's discuss this like men." When they're done, I swear they'll become great friends.

I hope Bill stays in Africa doing his good deeds over there. We don't need him on the trail...besides he is holding out any true endorsement pending his presumed role for the convention. He and Hillary need to lick their wounds and stay off the campaign trail as I see trouble brewing for Obama in their willingness to support the nominee. I only hope we get thru the convention w/out some fucking blow-up or dust up from the Clintons. The Clintons will never accept Hillary's loss as their fault and their supporters will continue to feed them! To trust the Clintons is play w/ the devil....

Bill Clinton is a self-serving ass. I'm glad to see his sham legacy as a "progressive" in smoking ruins.

"You can argue that nobody is ready to be
president".
So why was he arguing in NC that his wife would be ready on Day one?

Obama says there's No Beef between them.
Clinton says there's No Beef between them.

If they're both saying there's No Beef why do folks insist on instigating/manufacturing a Beef between them.

The idea that Obama can "let" Bill Clinton off the hook is laughable. Bill Clinton actually did something for the country and has a leg to stand on. This Freshman nothing hasn't done a damn thing and has no weight with which to "let" anyone off the hook, much less a former President.

I know it feeds into your fever dreams that the evil Bill Clinton will lash out at Obama after the election, but if you read the interview, it's clear that he's pissed at people like Clyburn (with good reason.) The accomplishements of his administration were dismissed by Obama's surrogates, while he and his wife were painted as racists. Now he's supposed to just say "that's politics?"

And for all of you conspiracy theorists, it happens that Hillary is out campaigning for Obama earlier than any other runner-up. Obama ran a dirty campaign aginst her, but she's a loyal Dem and will work to get him elected. But to you folks, it's not legitimate unless she actually swoons over Obama like you do. Defeated candidates supprt the winner a lot of the time. Do you really think they're all gung ho about it?

If Hillary had won, would all of you Obama supporters be full of enthusiasm to support her? Would you just "get over it?" I doubt it.

Honestly, I don't really get why Bill's comments were even remotely controversial.

Really? Look, Bill Clinton is not stupid and he knew that would, at some point, be asked this question. He knows the answer that is expected of him (yes!) and even more importantly he knew exactly what the reaction would be if he gave anything other than that answer. Knowing that he very deliberately chose not to give that answer. He had a lot of nice things to say about Obama and about the Constitution but none of those things were answers to what was asked.

Myself, I find all of this obsessive focus on what the Clinton's think to be extremely tiresome but Bil knew exactly what he was doing in that interview. No reason to pretend otherwise.
