Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama's victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support.

Mr Obama is expected to speak to Mr Clinton for the first time since he won the nomination in the next few days, but campaign insiders say that the former president's future campaign role is a "sticking point" in peace talks with Mrs Clinton's aides.

The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama, and believe that he risks damaging his own reputation by his intransigence.

A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could "kiss my ass" in return for his support.

Low class, IMO.

Bill didn't have to campaign for his wife, maybe she even would have done better without it. But he chose to, got beat fair. If he can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.

I say he comes forward and offers his support, as he promised to do just before the campaign ended, or he be allowed to sit in the corner and pout.

CNN is now reporting that Clinton and Obama are set to meet within the next couple of days. Also:



Should have figured. The reliable Britsh press strikes again. /sarcasm

I think one opinion piece claiming that one unnamed source said that Bill Clinton made the statement, is hardly proof.

Cuz Bill Likes Kissing This Ass ...

And hanging out with this Ass.

Even though there is only one "source", it wouldn't be a stretch to believe it....this was a fight and I don't see Kumbaya anytime soon..staged maybe but I don't see him as a gracious loser.

Pictures like this always made me want to

You never see Carter bending over like Bill has.

You can all stop now. Thanks!

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMPLETE AND UTTER ARROGENCE SETS IN!

Please read my post above me and follow the link I posted.

This article is completely wrong.

Have a nice day.

this thread should act as a reminder

There is an enemy in this election, and Bill and Hillary Clinton are not it...focus people

There are a lot of people out there trying to sew discord among Democrats. Personally, I don't believe that they are all disappointed Clinton supporters.

DING DING DING DING.

The republicans have publicly announced their plans to pose as democrats and disrupt us - to make us fight each other.

Anyone who is trolling the clinton / obama subject is most likely an R.

But there are so many who still live and breath to hate on the Clintons apparently. I've seen so much nasty, baseless, stupid, infintile BS from other democrats about the Clintons that I don't even want to be assocaited with them and am thinking of re-registering as an Independent.

If there's been a better president than Clinton in our lifetimes, someone please name him . . . waiting . . . . Oh, there isn't one, but "loyal," "principled" democrats threw him under the bus for the latest slick with a good slogan so fast it is truly remarkable.

I'm not sure who I'm more disgusted by, Obama or McCain, but AT LEAST, I can hope Obama will make better supreme court appointments. I guess that's something.

Lol, well that's one way to sit on your brains. Pretend anything that doesn't fit in with what you want to believe came from a nefarious source. Does supporting Obama mean you have to set up an alter and resign yourself to unconditional hero worship? Seriously, I've never seen anything like this. I voted for Edwards, so Clinton wasn't my 1st or 2nd choice, but Obama wasn't even on the list. That doesn't mean I'm going to vote against my own interests, but it also doesn't mean the guy gets a free pass on everything. Christ, that's how we got Bush, particularly the 2nd time. Party loyalty outweighed commons sense and reason. We have got to do better than this as a nation, or we're going to get exactly what we deserve.

I did not know Bill Clinton ran in the primary.

Did you know what this thread was about?

How did we throw Bill Clinton - aw....I almost played along...

1. The Clintons are notorious for their vindictive personalities.

2. The Daily Telegraph in the U.K. is not a tabloid rag. It's too conservative for my tastes, but it is still a reputable publication.

3. The LA Times has been bought by the right-winger Sam Zell and is not now the paper it once was.

The truth is probably that Clinton is bitter but that he will put the good of the country above his own feelings. Chill.

Eh? How so? That baloney about removing all the W's?

Probably more NWO Vince Foster Whitewater Ken Starr Judicial Watch b.s., repackaged for a liberal audience.

After Edwards dropped out who was your second choice or new first choice?

It would be only human for Bill Clinton to be disappointed that Obama won. In a way Hillary was campaigning for Bill's 3rd term. It's also true that the press wants to print sensational stories whether they are true or not. Anyway, considering how effective Bill was in campaigning for Hillary, I hope Obama uses some discretion in accepting his help.
