Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.
However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side. Obama leaves promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."
"I don't want to make her mad, please go," Clinton told Obama.
This was freakin' hilarious!!! If you haven't seen it, click the link and watch the video footage.
That was too funny. Obama looked silly. Someone on huffington described it as Obama pushing bill in front of the mike saying you be president again I dont wanna anymore lol.
I know we have a problem with job outsourcing, but I think that was the first time I ever saw a sitting POTUS outsource his own job.
If the point of this was to take away the "big headliner" from Senator Sanders filibuster, it worked because this shovel-pass of the presidency is the lead story all over the cyberspace. The bad news is the overall headline seems to be "Junior goes to the Prom while a real POTUS speaks."
Unfrigging believable.
I don't know about the rest of you, but while watching the video I was sort of waiting for Kanye West to show up, grab the mic from Clinton and say, "Mr. President, I am going to let you finish this press conference, but I just wanted to say Obama is the best President of all time", shrug his shoulders and hand the mic back to Bill.
That would have been a perfect ending to this most bizarre of incidents.

The Republicans are having a field day with this. I don't even know where to start or what to say. I love Clinton, but this was not a good idea. We still have to have Obama for 2 more years, and we really need a President to stand up and be counted, not to have someone else fight the fights for him. Man, was this ever a misstep on Obama's part.

It would have been fine had Obama been at the podium with bill at his side, but Obama LEFT, and I don't think Bill had any clue he was gonna leave lol.
