I’d say it’s pretty normal for a sitting President to call upon a former President for advice. I’d expect it happens during most presidencies. However, how often does a sitting President have the former President take his place at the White House podium to speak and answer questions from the press? I dare say I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen before (I could be wrong… please do share if I am).
Obama came out today after getting advice from former President Bill Clinton and had Clinton actually speak at the White House podium. Clinton spoke in support of the lame Tax Cut Deal that Obama made with Republicans (honestly who really cares what Bill ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman’ Clinton says?). I’m not sure who he was trying to garner support from exactly – Democrats or Americans?? What happened after a few minutes of Clinton speaking (which itself is odd) was even more bizarre – Obama said he had to go because he had already kept the First Lady waiting for half an hour… and he left Clinton there still speaking and answering questions from the press. Say what???????
I believe there was a collective – ‘Did that really just happen?’ – heard across the country. I realize Michelle Obama is probably very demanding (what women aren’t when being made to wait) but when Obama is already in the midst of embarrassing himself by having Clinton speak on his behalf he then actually leaves, further embarrassing himself. Was this planned so it’ll be all the buzz or is Obama really that clueless? As a President, Clinton was embarrassing as it was thanks to his ‘Lewinksy moment’ but does Obama not realize that he looked like a desperate shill having Clinton ‘fight his battles’? To then leave Clinton there speaking just takes the cake. Add this one to the Obama White House circus file.
