Bill Clinton: "You Haven't Shut My Demographic Out Yet"

Er, no, he's telling them it's way cool to vote for Barry. Are you really that clueless or do you just pretend?

Man, Bill Clinton showed his true genius, made an eloquent and tight case for Obama, and Jay finds the little mote in his eye. Cynical much?

I think we need more context on this quote. Taken just as it is, it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Any chance we can get some of the surrounding statements?

Jay, I agree with others. A little context please. This didn't make any sense to me. You've been doing such a good job lately - maybe it's just that the campaign trail doesn't agree with you.
.
And good grief, I go out for the day and there are thirteen posts when I get home!! You have all been having way too much fun. But, caught up now.

Jay, I took Clinton's comment to be a harmless joke about his age. He's been joking a lot about his age lately. I noticed that he stumbled a bit while introducing Obama. He did the same thing when he introduced Hillary at the Scranton rally with Biden. I think Bill does his "aw-shucks" routine so that he doesn't look like he's trying to one-up the other speaker.

Besides, I read that Obama is doing better with the white male vote than Bill Clinton did. Obama has the best numbers for a Dem since Jimmy Carter iin 1976. I'll see if I can find the link ...

From Politico:

Barack Obama, the first black major-party nominee, is positioned to win the largest share of white voters of any Democrat in more than three decades, according to an exclusive Politico analysis of recent Gallup and Pew Research Center polling.

Agree with all of the above.

First the comment travesty a week out, and now on one of the bigger nights pre-election (it's 1:46am EST), this is all that's been posted? This out of context quote from Bubba. A 30 minute Obama ad, the B squared show in Kissimmee, even Barack on Stewart (a relevant part of today's media) and this is the most you guys could come up with!?

Bad enough that not a single post today has managed to generate triple-digit comment spools (compare that to say pre blog implosion), but could you guys at least post about (like) the important happenings of the day.

Talk about preemptive irrelevancy.

That WAS an odd comment.
Happy? Relieved? Disappointed? Apprehensive?
Hopefully there is nothing to it.
[Bi=ut then, does Billy Boy play second fiddle graciously?]

"grey-headed, white guys"...I thought that *was* the Florida demographic!
.
Seriously, though, the Big Dog makes a self-deprecating remark about his age, and he gets piled on? What's up with that? Having gaffe-check withdrawals just because Biden went quiet for a couple of days?

This snippet really does feel like "missing the forrest because of the trees". The overall context and presentation of President Clinton's speech was quite positive. Additionally, this moment (when viewed) came off much more as self-depreciating than anything else.
.
Fortunately we are in the YouTube era, and we'll be able to make a full assessment for ourselves. I am rather surprised however that you did not make an attempt at assessing the event as much as seeking an "oddity" within the 1st time appearance of the pair together at a rally.

That wasn't odd at all. He was talking about what has been widely reported, that Obama is going to have overwhelming support from the young crowd and new voters. So Bill Clinton was just pointing out that the "old grey haired guys" still have a stake in the race too with a little self depracating humor. I mean how nitpicky can you get when the many gave the most full throated well versed endorsement he could possibly give with out putting his tongue in Obama's mouth and still he gets grief. I guess some people will just forever look for SOMETHING to say negative about Bill Clinton but I for one think he did one he!! of a job last night.

There's probably an element of wistful regret that his time has passed, kinda like Bilbo passing the ring to Frodo. But as other people have noted, the alternative is Gollum, so the moment is a small one.

Where is the video of Obama at the dinner party in LA where he claps and smiles at all of the anti-Semitic comments made by his PLO terrorist buddies? Where is the pressure to release this video from our Main Stream Media pals? Oh that's right they are all in the tank for Obama.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy a new troll. Hey pa56, didja know that John McCain helped FUND the supposed PLO terrorist you are referring to? Do you really want people to focus on the $500,000 that is has been confirmed that McCain had the IRI send this PLO "terrorist"? I am thinking you want to leave well enough alone lol

What music played when he left?
Honestly the dominance Bill Clinton has over the media hasn't abated even a little bit.
They always turn into morons.

Funny, all those independents who sound just like crazy partisans. They must like those undecided democrats who call up cspan, concerned.
.
Except they're loonier.

Hey sgwhiteinfla. Who do you think would be hurt more by this video coming out or McCain saying "ok" to help the poor defenseless PLO out? Shorter sgwhiteinfla. Shorter.

or mean to imply that the Democratic Party is being taken over by minorities?

.
The more I think about it the weirder that is. Bear in mind that Clinton didn't say that, JNS did. Is it a fear/concern/hope that JNS has? Does she have racial "issues" Even the use of "taken over" can suggest aggression.
JNS you projected something interesting here.

A juicy vivid video of Obama clapping loudly, smiling with all those pearly whites shining as he laughs to the anti-Semitic jokes being told at the party for his long time friend, Rashid Kalidi would be fantastic right about now. It would make the Jeremiah Wright video seem like a Mickey Mouse endorsement for radicals of the world.

pa56,
.
The really HILLARIOUS thing is that the contents of the video have ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED. pa56 let me ask you a serious question. This article about the tape is over 6 months old. So is your contention that
.
A. John McCain is totally inept for having let this much time go by before he brought it up or
.
B. John McCain is desperate.
.
Here is a clue. Nothing on the video is described in the way YOU and John McCain just described it.
.
So if the video hasn't been released please tell us ALL how you came to "know" whats on the tape?
.
poof what pa56 disappear. LMAOOOOOOO

JNS - yeah, this was absurdly nitpicky.
.
Bill did a great job. I kept wondering if Barack could hold his own against the old dog. (He did, barely, until he had to speed up at the end). But it sure was an effective reminder of what it was like to have a president who could put a sentence together, who created umpteen million jobs, who left with a surplus...

Joe Scarborough is currently proving that he's never done any reading about the Bradley effect. Never reads Nate Silver. Appalling.

Alwsys possible that she is not "projecting" but "repeating" something someone else, perhaps in some of other party, may have said.
.
That is the next obvious step for the Republicans to take, you know. Even more expressly the party of the white people, especially the white male people.
.
This rant is interesting, historically speaking.

If you missed the Daily Show last night, do check it out today. The exchange where Stewart raises the Bradley effect is very funny.
