Bill Clinton: 'This May Be the Last Day I'm Ever Involved in a Campaign of This Kind'


June 02, 2008 12:48 PM

ABC News' Sarah Amos Reports: Speaking to a crowd in Milbank, SD former President Bill Clinton admitted that today could be the last time he has such an active role in presidential politics.


"I want to say also that this may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind. I thought I was out of politics, 'til Hillary decided to run. But it has been, one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president," said Clinton as he began his speech.

It was certainly not a long thought - nor something he seemed to want to dwell on. But for a man who has rarely shown even an inkling of defeat in the past year, even uttering the words says a lot.

very gracious, look like the campaign will be suspended tomorrow night.

They did it right - got all the voters a chance to vote for 2 active candidates.
But still dropped out without taking it to the convention.

I'm sure it won't satify anyone here - but i think they did the right thing on both counts.

What I find amazing is just how badly Bill has done on Hillary's campaign. Up until this year, I thought he had one of the strongest degrees of political sensibility of all the presidents in our history, but making up excuses for spipergate by saying that his 60 year old wife was tired and confused? Accusations of an organized conspiracy to manipulate the super delegates?

Well he did have some making up to do; i.e. he owed her. That was a pretty publicized blow job he got.

Here is link to long article about the deconstruction of Bill in the new Vanity Fair:

I suppose that nothing Bill Clinton did would have surprised me with the exception of his using the race card so blatantly in his wife's campaign. "Vote for me; I don't rob banks." "Vote for me;
I don't steal cars." "Jesse Jackson won South Caroline."

It would be like if Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and repealed the Civil Rights Acts.

I do not want to stoop to Hillary's level, but sometimes I wonder how
safe he is in his Harlem headquarters.

No, it appears she, like her sister-in-hate noted elsewhere, believes
Clinton supporters are not only capable of murder, but would like to
see it happen.

Nice curve ball pitch Sparky but what she's saying is that those infamous remarks of his have probably decreased his once high approval ratings in the Black community. Don't even think about equating Harper's remarks with those of your girlfriend on RFK.

That is what I said. But Winthrop lurks here and stalks me and never misses an opportunity to agree with any feeb (CosmicRocker) who takes offense at what I say. He spent one whole afternoon ganging up with Eman to attack me.

CosmicRocker and Winthrop both should go back to rumbleville and defend jdanton's theory that the outrage at Hillary's assassination remark was merely making a mountain out of a molehill.

Wow, the Blimp, the Simp and the Whimp all ganging up on ya at once? Shudder the thought. Consider the source here Harper. Cosmo is just grabbing at straws, if all goes as predicted this week, he and a certain Doctor will be wearing Widow's Weeds until the convention in August. Winthrop will use any opportunity to be pompous and E Tard just wants somebody to pay attention to him. They're all speed bumps.
