<p>After his latest gaffe, does anyone believe he seriously thinks he’s helping her campaign?</p>
<p>I’m starting to wonder if he’s subconsciously trying to sabotage her.</p>
<p>I think he should keep campaigning for her. ;)</p>
<p>^^ you mean campaigning against her?</p>
<p>She lies and he swears by it. What a team. ;)</p>
<p>The Clintons seem to be getting whackier by the day; First Hillary confabulates about the sniper fire and then Bill distorts and makes her into someone with dementia rather than someone who was embellishing and lying…and today she is stating that she has told him that she will handle this-the problem is that she has not controlled him. While I used to admire and defend the Clintons, I am now nervous about what these two would do back in the White House-they both seem pretty out of control, nutty, actually. I am a licensed mental health clinician with 25 years of experience and I think something is very wrong here-just can’t quite figure what.</p>
<p>What did he say this time? I must have missed it.</p>
<p>b’smom - I was kind of facetious in my original post, but am seriously beginning to wonder if he is trying to sabotage her campaign. I find your observation from the perspective of a mental health professional interesting!</p>
<p>I’m not saying he’s doing it consciously (ah, hell, maybe he is), but unconsciously, he’s doing some serious damage.</p>
<p>swimcatsmom - I’m on my way out the door for a meeting, but the gist of it is he decided to revisit the Bosnia story yesterday (guess he doesn’t know to let sleeping dogs lay), but in doing so, ‘misspoke’ about the reporting of it by Hillary. I don’t think she was too kind about her response to him.</p>
<p>I’ve not been able to find much in print about it yet; it’s mostly on the cable news stations. To be fair, there is a ‘story’ out now about Obama’s characterization of small town Americans. When I get home, I want to dig more and hear the statements in the whole context.</p>
<p>You can see part of it here.

<p>I saw the video of Bill’s gaffe - really strange. It appears that there is little communication between them at this point; not surprising, given that Hillary, at least, is very busy and travelling all the time. Bill may be, as well. </p>
<p>My (amateur) take on it is that he sees the writing on the wall, knows that Hillary is not going to be president, and can’t face the prospect of, again, being out to pasture. Imagine what it must be like to “retire” from the presidency at a very young age, especially for someone like Bill, who is brilliant and needs to be in the limelight. </p>
<p>I have lost a great deal of respect for both of them as result of this campaign. I was never a big fan of Bill’s, although I voted for him twice.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>a very, very green pasture (as with $$) to be sure!</p>
<p>Maybe he’ll find a cause that will give his life meaning…Carter had his Habitat for Humanity/foreign election work, Gore scored a big hit with the environment. Bill needs to find his passion and pursue it (as long as it is not sweet young things, that is).</p>
<p>He needs to stop talking!! Find a world-cause Bill, there are far more important things where you could make a difference. Your wife becoming Pres might be important to you, but with your influence, I think you could make a much bigger difference in the world!!</p>
<p>Bill is doing a great job for Hillary. He needs attention. We should offer him a stage. ;)</p>
<p>Seriously, I cannot imagine how she’d control him should she be elected. It’d be a real issue, he would find the constraints of being the First Husband a little tight.</p>
<p>What must be so annoying for Bill is knowing that HE would win this election in a landslide. He also knows how gullible and dumb the american voters truly are and, that despite this, Hillary remains the most unelectable candidate. </p>
<p>He must go to bed every night asking himself, “where did we go so wrong?” and then turn to the beautiful blonde next to him. Of course, after calling Hillary on the campaign trail.</p>
<p>A blonde can be a form of control. :)</p>
<p>He’ll be speaking at my DS’s and DD’s High School tomorrow as part of his campaign stump (I mean, HIS support of HILLARY’s campaign stumping. I guess I’ve been watching him too closely lately and got confused; which one is actually running again? 
). I might have to go and see if he says anything else that blows up in both their faces. </p>
<p>BTW, DS’s fellow students were explicitely instructed to be on their BEST behavior (rumors were flying that many wanted to start an Obama cheer). DD asked me if this was against her free speech rights. I answered of course, but sometimes being polite is just the right thing to do rather than just doing something to be annoying and a jerk, then going about crying “free speech” as your defense for rudeness.</p>
<p>

<p>This raises the question of why haven’t we had any press reports on Bill Clinton’s current or recent bimbos? It is a certainty that he is not faithful to Hillary even after Monica, yet no one seems to have caught him with one of his girlfriends. </p>
<p>BTW, I love watching Bill Clinton (so long as he is not in office). I hope he keeps talking so I can cheer at the TV as he speaks (I mean as he tells one lie after another).</p>
<p>I thought it was hilarious that Bill said that Hillary misspoke because it was 11:00pm, which made me think that I wouldn’t want her answering the phone at 3:00am. Oops.</p>
<p>tokenadult - I’ve heard a couple of radio show hosts make that same remark, that if she truly was speaking at 11PM and was so tired she couldn’t remember straight, do we really want her answering the phone at 3AM? </p>
<p>If she does not win the nomination, it will be interesting to see what happens to their marriage; not that it’s any of my business, but it’d be interesting to just to put some of these pieces together. We could all be wrong, but time could tell.</p>
