Title: BILL CLINTON TO SKIP OBAMA SPEECH AT INVESCO FIELD
Post by: TheSarge on August 27, 2008, 01:15:44 PM
In another sign of lingering discord between the Clinton and Obama camps, FOX News confirmed Wednesday that former President Bill Clinton will not attend Barack Obama’s Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver Thursday night.

A senior Obama aide said the candidate is “not worried about it. There’s places besides Denver where we need and will get [Clinton's] help winning this election.”

Clinton has continued to lob perceived bombs at the man who defeated his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the Democratic primary. Just hours before the New York senator took center stage Tuesday night to offer words of healing, her husband was detonating what could be interpreted as another blast.

Speaking at a forum of former world leaders less than a mile from the site of the Democratic National Convention, Bill Clinton drew an analogy that had many wondering whether he had made peace with the idea of an Obama candidacy.

“Suppose for example you’re a voter and you have candidate X and you have candidate Y,” Clinton said. “Candidate X agrees with you on everything but you don’t think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver.

at The BarackStar!, I will be surprised.

The media seems to think the "Candidate X" comment is a slap at Brock.

I certainly thought it was.  especially since "obama can't deliver" was catch phrase in her campaign.

Maybe Clinton will walk out, hold up a photo of the Magic negro, and say, "If you vote for this anti-American terrorist-loving communist - you've lost your f*cking mind!", and then walk off.

That would certainly touch off the riot that the Dems are hoping for.

Why couldn't Bill just join the street protesters and get arested?  Almost every news outlet would be covering that and not the speech of the messiah.

I thought I heard on the fnc just a bit ago that Hillary said to her delegates "Vote Your conscience." Did anybody hear that?

While a great mental picture, I think Billy Jeff got as close to a jail cell as he'd care to back when he signed off on his GUILTY plea for Felony Purjury.  I can't see him wanting to kick it with all the little people down in 'Gitmo on the Platte'.

A few that think they'll have a chance to say "Toldjaso!"  in a couple months.

Given the way Obama reacts to stuff like this, it might be physically dangerous.
