Bill Clinton Faults Press for Giving Him Too Much Attention

[elar4563]

the obama people just spinning you up in this and you just go along? well slick willy thats what politicians do...infact its what you do. and your democrat constituency just follow you like brain dead idiots.

[yury2268]

good job Bill, he's a democrat that I have respect for and would take him over Obama any day.

[bthushilp]

After he got cought with that girl He probably promissed his wife that he'll get her the presidency one day and not to divorce him. when he cannot do as he planned he may be getting out of controll and that's my theory

[Ff6boy22]

Bill seems to have a very valid point here. The media does not always pay attention to what the people want, rather what makes good headlines, mainly for readability and monetary purposes

[jeri343california]

CNN has chosen Obama. Anything that Obama says about hillary is not "beating up on hillary" but when Bill makes a very valid criticism of Obama then it is headlined as "beating up on obama." That is a joke. They are in a campaign Obama is a big boy who doesn't need help by the media all the time.

[Hopspop]

He's not even making any sense...he shouldn't be out bullying up for Hillary, he's doing more damage than good. His temper and deceptive statements are very amusing.

I like how he spins the crap Hillary's campaign puts out on Obama as something the press is being fed, when they are the perpetrators taking honest debate out of context to win at all cost.

[sexysmartg]

LOL. George Bush did Coke until he was 40. And raped a woman named Margie Schoedinger, who actually filed a lawsuit against him before her mysterious death.  Look it up. And stop making up BS about Bill Clinton

[beauvaisboy]

rapist,liar,arsehole,coke profiteer.

the first black president my arse!!

[meemo71]

Bill Clinton is a rapist..

[lrlbox21]

Clinton and Obama are such assclowns

[thomasjay112]

The problem is that the MSM are too reliant upon ratings and sales. As long as profit is their number one priority, they will continue to pander to the lowest common denominator, and Americans will continue to be deprived of the real news coverage it needs and deserves.

[thomasjay112]

Whoops. That should be "they need and deserve."

[whosoever]

They think they own the party and anyone who disagrees with them is "the other." See how Bill groups Obama, the GOP, and the media as ONE thing? "You're with us or you're against us." Playing only to the base. Right from the Karl Rove playbook. I never thought I would dislike and distrust Bill Clinton so much. They'll tear the party apart if that's what it takes to win. Obama deserves credit for not sinking to their level . His responses to their approach have been very measured and rational.

[qaswedfrazxs]

Eat sh#t

[fairwitness1111]

Someone should remind members of the media FREQUENTLY that their approval rating is at the absolute bottom of the heap, well below Bush and even below congress. Journalism used to be a respected profession. Now they're infortainers constantly trying to predict the future and create scandals out of nothing (e.g., Clintons are racists for criticizing Obama).

[NewYorkViolets]

well said.

[GimbleTheWizard]

"I did not have sex with that woman."

STFU.

[Roddykris]

cLITON IS A PRICK. SHIT!!!

[Roddykris]

oBAMA 08

[Gloeckz]

The Clintons are double teaming Obmama's campain with there "dirty tricks"

its a low blow and childish

[concerned00citizen]

It never is the Clinton's fault! Not even his bold faced lie that got him convicted of lying under oath. Bill should go find his latest woman and leave Hill along. It's not right what he is accused of doing to Juanita Broadrick... Creep. Creep. OHHHHH the right wing conspiracy is behind every reporter. YOu go reporters - IT'S ABOUT TIME.

[jeri343california]

CNN has clearly chosen Obama as their winner. The Fairy Tale headline was tweeked against clinton to make him look like he was against blacks. Then when Clinton stood up and told the public that Obama actually made an inconsistent statement suggesting he actually was not against the war then CNN made the headlines "Clinton beating up on Obama." I'm sorry CNN, you are choosing candidates for us and this is manipulative and a serious disservice to Americans.

[Bretttido]

As usual, lately, Bill is acting like he's holier than all. Saying "this" is what the press wants to cover... knowing damn well that the accusations he's making about Obama are exactly what the press wants to cover.

[MyVideoFolder]

So Mr. Obama wants to do things differently. Sure. He jeopardized himself when he used personal slurs recently.

Quite a departure from promises given in his Iowa victory speech.

I was supportive of Mr. Obama - but I am now undecided. I will wait to see who is consistant like Mr. McCain is.

If I were an American citizen, either Hillary Clinton or John McCain would be my choices to vote for in the November Presidential election. TY for reading this comment.!!

[ultimate175gm]

Get your head out of the sand. Look at how Hilary has changed her position on 'issues' not how she ran her campaign. We aren't electing people for how they run their campaigns but what they plan to do and how. Barack was being attacked based on lies. You say name calling, what about Hilary name calling the landlords Barack represented?

[ultimate175gm]

The Clinton's haven't changed their political tactics at all. I don't doubt their service to America I think they have done some excellent things and fought hard along the way. I just don't think that Hilary is what America needs. Consistent? That is one of the most hysterical things you could say about Hilary. The Clinton's are anything but consistent.

[ultimate175gm]

I do agree with Clinton that the news people don't cover the issues people are actually interested in. Although, it is absurd that he thinks 'Obama' wants them to talk about this. That is the traditional reversal of the Clinton campaign.

[ultimate175gm]

I plan to vote for Barack because he is clear on his agenda and clear on the issues. He is informed. I would go back through and see under what context he brings up other candidates records: usually in contrast to his after he has attempted to clear his name because those candidates have slandered his record. That is what the last debate was.

[meemo71]

Bill Clinton is a rapist..

[fairwitness1111]

Funny to hear Clinton say that the vast majority of blacks are going to vote for Obama because of his race and most women will vote for Hillary because of her gender. This is properly called "racism" and "sexism" when conservatives, independents and whites do it. But since its being done overtly and unabashedly by liberals and blacks, it's AOK and libs and the media choose to call it "identity politics".

The hypocrisy of the left is nauseating.

[1950brutus]

Hi Bill ! You are better with MONICA ! ! !

[jimmyphack]

Everytime you see bill on the news this is the same shit he does every time.

[berig1]

Bill is absolutly right

[thelegendistrue]

Bill Clinton... have you no shame? Oh, that's right, you haven't.

[fourtyfrets]

Bill Clinton: Shame on you!

People are sick of the Clintons.

[TormentedByDemons]

The most tactically brilliant countermeasure Obama could launch at this point would be to hire Monica Lewinsky as a campaign assistant.

She would of course wear a blue dress at every rally and debate.

[daviedave1111]

good point- would be hilarious too

[TheFeasterBunny]

bill's getter mighty bitter.

[longlivethewtc]

I also feel like this small clip doesn't really paint an accurate picture of what Clinton said before this, which is what puts this statement in context. Why not post the entire four minute comments he made? That'd be more far to both the press and Clinton.

[longlivethewtc]

I really couldn't agree more with what Bill said at the end there. He is right, in that the election should be about what the people want to know, rather than a mud slinging contest back and forth between campaigns. As a voter, it really turns me off to see this kind of thing being dug up again and again, like a dog digging up an old bone. Give it a rest, will ya? Kudos to Bill for being the bigger man and being respectful, but for telling it like it is!

[WadeBlazingame34]

Gail Collins pwns Bill today in the NYTs: "...Bill's role as Chief Attack Dog undermines all that. If he's all over her campaign, he's going to be all over her administration. Instead of the original promise of the thoroughly educated Hillary, we're being offered the worst-case scenario — that the pair of them are going to return to Penn. Avenue and recreate the old Clinton chaos. ... Only it's not change, .... It's just a nervous decision that we'd rather go back than risk going forward..."

[Jimraynor45]

my faith in Ron paul is fading. how could he not believe in evolution? he is just a opportunistic politician who refuses to believe in things like global warming because there too inconvient.

[raphi72]

Yeah, but it was Hillary who voted for the Iraq war and its funding, for the patriot act and for the military commissions act. Ron Paul voted "No" to all of those bills.

[lionmane22]

wow he's too good a liar,,, scary, Indecent people the clintons... they are full of ugly tricks. They are finished in New york...ashamed I ever voted for them...

[RobtKraft]

The Clinton's mention Obama's

middle name.(Yes, there were e-mails sent out using his middle name in Nevada.)Obama won't tell you what it is nor will the media. If you go to his website and click on the section about Obama's religion, it says that Obama's middle name is not Mohammed. Yet, they never tell you what it is. Do they think people on the internet don't no how to google?

[RobtKraft]

I meant the Clintons cant mention Obama's middle name.

[Devin1498]

Funny because Obama has no problem exploiting Hillary's last name as a negative. Blurring Bill's legacy to slander Hillary? Now that's a dirty tactic.

[stripedchair]

bill clinton = proffessional liar

[MizMackie]

Poor Mistreated Bubba -- Hill has him on a tight leash & he's sexually frustrated. Who the fuck is this perverted, conniving, money-grubbing piece of shit to lecture anyone. The press needs to grow some cojones & tell the SOB to relax & smoke an intern scented cigar.

[wuburmenz]

Bill is right. Obama people and media full of sh!t.

[theastrusmega]

youre out of your mind dude...The Obama Camp didnt start that shit, Hillary has "her husband" doing all the dirty work atm....and though shes capable of doing it herself, shes showing how she will handle the stresses if shes president.

She will just send Bill out to handle it.

[zenbeer]

Bill is Hillary, Hillary is Bill, the world's gone crazy, it's media's fault, and it's only the 5th primary!

Stand up and demand a 50 state national primary with all citizens given the access to vote, 100% public financing for all candidates. End this broken system where 200,000 people decide who the other 49 states vote for. -zen

-zen

[Djronan1]

You know, I used to like Bill, but he has spun up so much crap just so he can get his wife elected. Screw any decency. Ridiculous.

[rwordplay]

The former president is a pathological liar. The irony of this piece is no one in the press is challenging him or confronting him with his own words, and twisting this controversy that he and his "henchman" have conceived and perpetuate. With a little luck he'll collapse on the campaign trail.

[aggiedavis]

Go get them, Bill!

[fuzzyone99]

What they care about is the fact that the man is a fucking liar who will say anything for his own self-aggrandizement, and this is the kind of political mentor that his wife wants to bring with her two-headed hydra machine of egomania for a second round in the white house. "Shame on you"! ha. that's all Bill's got to say... give me a break. the more I see of them the more convinced I am of how unqualified she is.

[h2oholic]

To bad Hillary and Obama are both in the top 10 most corrupt politicians of 2007 according to judicial watch

[h2oholic]

This is not the time for apathy. Our nemesis Rudy understands how big the coming weeks are. Are we really going to roll over and die now that the going is getting tough? Did you really think this would be easy? Are we going to allow ourselves to be influenced by the media now and stop giving? Donate today to Ron Paul to people who dont know - Google Ron Paul

[jarvis1211]

Hey Bill, here's some friendly advice if you think the press is giving you too much press. Stay fucking home! Stay out of the spotlight! You don't always have to feed that ego of yours!

[WadeBlazingame34]

POLL: Which muck will be worse muck? Barack's connection to Rezco, or Bill's private life becoming public? Discuss....

[Randomambusher]

Goddamn I miss Bill Clinton. I forgot what it's like to have competent government.

[fuzzyone99]

A competent liar who coasted off of a good economy, got the credit for it, kept the people stupid, and then they voted for Bush. By now it should be a lesson how important it is to keep the politicians honest - or to keep them out - or else the country will never learn.

[Charles459]

This man is so full of shit and america just loves to eat it up. amazing.

[Ediamond1]

As if it's part of a balanced breakfast.

[enigmaticcarrot]

As much as America eats up the BULSHIT AND LIES from Bush.

[Ediamond1]

Well bush is feeding them hors d'oeuvres a 5 course meal, and dessert. Plus seconds of everything.

[Charles459]

Is that your response? Someone else is worse? Not a very effective defense of your hero

[jeri343california]

CNN has been slanting their headlines for Obama and that's a serious detriment to the American people because they (the media) will thereby choose who gets elected.  They used the "Big Fairy Tale" thing to paint clinton as against blacks and Clinton's very valid criticism of Obama running on the lie that he was "always" against the war from the beginning are very valid but the headlines have been written "clinton beating up on obama."

[HaloedG]

Bill Clinton will fuck around and get his ass whooped before the end of the year...watch. If he really is such a "Black president" he would know that. I'll tell you what, for all the shit he talks and bullying he makes, he ain't above an ass whoopin'.

[Hofffan87]

Will he ever shut up? He's got to be the most bitter former president I've ever seen. The Clintons should be the last people crying victim where every campaign all they know how to do is play dirty. Even Huckabee said he had to go through it in Arkansas. It's just up to the opponent to ignore the abuse, address it, or plain old stoop to their level.

[whitecarniola]

your wrong there, bud. clinton's not crying victim, but rather he's warning us that the people of south carolina will be the victims if the press doesn't report on important issues. issues that we all face, my man. and i'm for obama as pres. i think hillary should be sec. of state, joe biden secretary of defense, edwards attorney general. your inaccurate assessment of this scares me.

[jarvis1211]

Shit your government would be pure socialist!

[whitecarniola]

shit yeah, fool! no, seriously, if you mean socialist in the same sense as denmark, sweden, new zealand, canada and the like, then shit yeah. for those who voted for bush: SHAME ON YOU!

[mikie1973]

bill sucks but he owned that reporter

[dejahthoris]

I think he has lost it. Billary just wants to rip Obama to shreds for beating them. They can barely contain themsleves. At the debate I thought Hillary was going to transform into a Succubus and devour Obama alive.

[spiritpunker]

well said...haha...vivid

[natural]

you are buying into this whole stupid media game. People should care about the issues not this non-sense 'battle' as the media puts it. its so shallow, it makes me think people like you like reality shows, and this one happens to be about politics.

this is real and it could effect people's lives, stop being so shallow.

[whitecarniola]

dude, wake up. this is real. our earth. this isn't a game. any of the dems will be good. this is about weeding our government out of greedy people. it's gone on too long. the frat boys and money grubbing suits, the scared little cowboys and closeted evangelical addicts need to apologize and get in the back seat.

[freakasaur]

I'm not a dude. I have been following this closely since last march and have seen some of the candidates speak in person. I don't watch TV news so I am not buying into any media game. I still feel the same way about the Clintons. I am an Obama supporter.

[Muddas05]

GO OBAMA

[shooliganza]

RIght on Bill. SPeak the truth to those biased CNN/ MSNBC bozos. Wanna be sick? Watch the CNN pundits spin this as Bill being irrational. Blitzer, King, Gloria what a bunch of dishonest lying bozos.

[PussycatGoGo]

The more he speaks the less respect I have for him. He's turned his wife's campaign into a joke and worst of all he comes off as a bully and highly disrespectful. Total jerk.

[dogstar7]

Bill & Hilary are playing "Good Cop/Bad Cop" with the press:

Hil is being forthright and playing 'nice' (mostly) and bill gets to play attack-dog.

When they get called out for it, Bill blames the press for falling for it! Ingenius!

Is this how Hilary's administration would be run?

Maybe you can hold off a four year old with the old "Go ask your Mom/Dad" dodge...it's not going to work in the Oval Office.

[elfbug2]

Bill Clinton, is the worlds leading war criminal.

[garvess]

Hmm first gentleman...something sounds wrong.

[Devin1498]

haha he's so smart-i want him has first male love-servant

[voyzovrezon]

Count me among the people that don't care about you, Bill.

[creole60]

I like Bill, but honestly, he's the last person to accuse anyone of shame.

[thetubeaccount]

not quite

[johnnyk67]

See the whole 4½ minute clip of ol' Bill in action:

fHxrnFox3vg

[WadeBlazingame34]

Also, Barack should hammer her on this issue: "Bill now says "WE" and "US" not "my wife" or "candidate Clinton"... Who does he think he is? The first Third-Termer since FDR? Shame on Bill for stealing Hillary's campaign..."

[WadeBlazingame34]

Barack should say: "There Bill goes again, flying off the deep end! Will Hillary ever get control of him, and stop let him running her campaign?"

[WadeBlazingame34]

I say this with deep regret, bc I love The Big Dog... When he's crushing Republicans, it's like Hulk Hogan vs. Brutus Beefcake (circa 1989). But Barack supporters have to fight this primary with a happy heart to try to pull it out for November... Come Super Tuesday, we're all Democrats, and it's time to forget this infighting (hopefully)...

[character654]

Or when he is selling our butts to China for some campaign cash - GO BILL!!!

[moonflower37]

Boy talk about a coked up rant! I would like to see Bill Clinton submit to a drug test. If that is not the demeanor and voice of a person whacked out on Cocaine I don't know what is. In this interview I can really see the Bill O'Reilly in him

[xTheOxx]

How utterly disingenuous on Clinton's part. I generally like the guy, but this is just laughable. I don't buy his indignation for a second. Bill want his cake and eat it too, he uses the media's appetite for scandal, but acts outraged when it blows in his face.

Obama's been handling the pressure much better than Clinton lately. Maybe Bill needs some rest?

[fishhead06]

Clinton brings this shit up, and then accuses the media for obsessing about it? In the words of Bill, "Give - me - a - break."

[codieraji]

I believe The Hill-Bill-ery campaign is nothing more than a democratic version of the GW Bush/ Dick Cheney team. First Bill is using his wife as a back door way of violating the countries election laws by running for president a 3rd term. Second, shall we forget about the divisions they left the white house in last time. Bill The Divider

[xeperdamien]

I agree with the words coming out of his mouth, but am doubtful of his intentions.

[badgrammar]

he protests too much.

[Devin1498]

haha he's so smart-i want him has first male love-servant

[ahowell71]

hey slick willy, you don't want the media attention,SHUT YOU PIE HOLE!!!STAY HOME!!!!

[Ctopkis]

1st

[alnewberry]

Yeah, couldn't be the fact that he never shuts his mouth.
