Looks more and more like Obama will be the Democratic candidate and the next POTUS.

It really does look like he'll get the nomination but I'm not so sure about the office.

I strongly doubt that another Republican will be elected to the White House for some years to come.

People are fed up with their incompetency, lies, deceit, wars and such.

I predict Obama will in a landslide with a peoples' mandate for change.

Unless, of course he's found in bed with a 12-year-old or exposed in some Chicago crookedness.

The 28th Amendment:

No President shall serve if he or she has the same last name as another President within the previous 25 years.

The 5th of Feb is going to really be interesting and telling of what we can expect in the fall. Though I dont believe either Clinton or Obama will be final on the 5th. Though Edwards is just hanging on to use his delagates for the convention.

I agree gaslight...but Obama knew, along with most of the world, that it would become an issue just as Hillary's being a woman came was an issue.  I said early on that I didn't think the country was ready for either a woman or a Black for president but I could very well be proven wrong seeing the way the early votes are coming in.  I really didn't think either would get this far.  It's not a matter of bias or racism, it's just looking at our country the way it is.

I don't think it has as much to do with people being fed up with the Republican party as a whole as it is that the Republicans have little to offer.  IMHO..people are fed up with lies and deceit from ALL parties and candidates.  And it's only going to get worse.  As Bette Davis said in her classic line...
"Buckle your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."

Ignoring the obvious hypocrisy of complaining about bad taste, illegality and indecent behavior of the Clintons in light of the last several years, I think his garbage about "the only elected President to face an impeachment trial" is almost funny.  He discounts Jackson because he was not elected and Nixon because he resigned and was pardoned before he could be impeached.  He also leaves off that Republicans conducted one of the most expensive investigations ever of every aspect of the Clintons' life all on the taxpayer dime and found them innocent on all counts.

Also, I'd like to just point out that while the Republican base asks us to stop the Bush bashing and to move on, they are still hanging on to their anger and hurt feelings from the Clinton years.  Just remember this article in 2016 when people are still complaining about Bush.

If a Democrat had written a piece similar to this, it sounds like it would have been much the same only slanted to favor the overall Democrtic party rather than  the Republican.  It's only natural that a Rebuplican would write it in this fashion.  It doesn't change the truth of the article..only the slant.  As for "the only elected President to face an impeachment trial"...he may be splitting hairs but is that a lie?

It really wouldn't matter if Jacoby wrote about cows jumping over the moon, people from the left would still trash his articles.   I've seen where he's complimented the left on some issues and still he catches heck. 

How would you folks explain a good share of Democrats blasting prominent people in their own party?

You've just got to wonder how so many people can be totally right in all things and yet be registered as opposites politically.

In all...his main point, which seems to be lost in rhetoric, is that Bill Clinton said he would be back..and he darned near is.

Nancy, I didn't say it was a lie, just garbage since it cuts a cuts such a fine slice as to be almost useless.  I agree that you could turn this piece into a madlibs and easily change it over to a Democratic piece, mostly because it's so short on fact and so long on insinuation.

If the point is that Bill Clinton vowed to be back and is, that much is true.  Jimmy Carter has never truly gone away and is actually doing some great work in the Baptist Church now.  George Bush joined Bill Clinton to ask America for help after Katrina.  Nancy Reagan spoke out on the issue of stem cells.  Let's not even start on Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Don Rumsfeld.  The point is that once you've reached a certain level, the expectation that you go back to a quiet life somewhere is only a valid assertion since Reagan left office already far into dementia and Bush, Ford and Nixon all left their offices under a cloud.  Now that Bush senior has been vindicated on Iraq, I might expect him to be more involved once his son is out of office, but complaining about the actions of former Presidents only because there are none on his side of the aisle who can speak out seems disingenuous at best.

Well there was Bush asking  Clinton to help after the tsunami ,Presidents do not "go away". The article does raise some interesting ideas. I think it is natural to have folks speak out in the primaries about this sort of thing~ we all worry in a good fight about the party getting to bruised up.

After the elections are over the Democrats will thank Billy boy Clinton for giving Obama a taste of what the racial divide will really be against the Republicans.

Of course, once again President McCain will issue a statement abhorring the part race played in his winning the Presidential election, however, at the same time savoring saving the Presidency against invaders for another hundred years.

Clinton is just being nice and trying to give Obama a soft landing before Obama is terrorized by the Republican high speed Swiftboat into oblivion in November, as it should be.

By the time the November election is over, Obama will be exposed as a radical Muslim whom we cannot afford to have his finger on the nuclear button. His ties to the Madrassas in Indonesia will be republican folklore, as it should be.

In any event, Bill and Hillary are non-items, the 2008 Presidential election was settled long ago when the party decided to run a woman who we know belongs in the kitchen and a Black who looks better on a wanted poster than Presidential poster.

Why they might they might as well have run an illegal alien.

Republicans and the country as a whole are not fed up with the usual candidates, they want a change, but they don’t want a radical change other than the “normal” Presidential profile. Republicans could have run Charles Manson and still won, as a shave and a haircut and whole would know the difference in their candidate field. Lets face it the right person will always win in America, even if he does a bad job and screws up, as long as he is of the right persuasion and defends our friend around the world( both of them England and Israel) he will be considered a success, again as it should be.
