Clinton On Obama-”A Few Years Ago This Guy Would’ve Been Carrying Our Bags.”

By Clash Daily / 3 September 2012 / 15 comments

Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillay Clinton for president in the 2008 election by describing Barack Obama this way: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

This anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill Clinton and Obama: Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

Clinton is giving a keynote address at the Democratic convention this week in Charlotte, North Carolina.

No question Obama underhandedly spoiled Hillary’s quest for the gold. Bill was no big help either. The remark was insulting. Bill was saying Barack is little more than a luggage handler, a bellhop, a servant, an unskilled laborer. Some might say the remark is also racial tinged. One thing is clear: Bill does not think highly of Barack, yet this week, he’ll sing his praises and urge us to vote for him. Neither Barack nor Bill have any integrity, we know that much. These men must think we’re brain dead.

  We also know that both Clinton and Obama had their law licenses revoked by their respective legally controlling authorities — one disbarred former Democratic President selling his soul to the devil in order to support the disbarred current Democratic pResident. That Democrats are in love with both of them proves Democrats have no integrity.

Now that’s funny.

Very funny. So much for tolerant and caring.

Wouldn’t let him carry my bags. He’s probably steal my valuables while he figured out a way to get a bigger tip. On the otherhand, I could see him more as a drug dealer than a baggage handler as this guy hasn’t done an honest days work in his life.

Carrying bags is all he is qualified to do…Oh wait, he’s not “qualified” for that EITHER – since he has never actually had to WORK for a living…

The types of thieves who steal billions of dollars don’t carry the money in bags. They simply do a wire tranfer to their bank account overseas.
I find it amazing that Democrats are highly critical of Republicans who put their OWN money in banks overseas, but praise the Democrat thieves who put the money they stole from other people in banks overseas.

Shocking News from ABCs Diane Sawyer

OUR PRESIDENT, What the hell is he thinking?
I-635 in Texas is being rebuiltwith underground tolls from I-35 to I-45
and is contracted to aCHINESE firm for over $5 billion.Diane Sawyer reporting on U.S. bridge projects going to the Chinese…. NOT Americans. The bridges are right here in the U.S. and yet Obama has approved for Chinese contractors to come in and do the work. What about jobs for Americans???

What a class act, a former Pres. that was impeached, and had his license to practice law taken away from him. Slime follows slime.

How arrogant and what a pompous ass of Clinton to say that about anyone–who in hell does he think be is. I personally don’t think Obama is even worth carrying water for anyone, but that statement by Clinton is very revealing about the mentality of this fool who thinks he is above anyone. Not surprised by a statement of this sort by Clinton, after all this fool is a sexual predator; another star degenerate of the democrat party.

How soon they forget it was the democrats who did not want to free the slaves.
God bless America.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
