So, here we are twelve years after he left a trashed White House behind, and we find ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton out there campaigning as if he's in the political race of his life. And I suppose in some ways there are some would say that maybe, he is. These days we find the old ‘Slickmeister’ out there endorsing Barry "Almighty" at every opportunity, as well as any Democrat who might find themselves in a tight race for either the House or the Senate. And as laughable as it sounds, he's also burnishing a legacy as the party's elder statesman, rock star, global humanitarian and husband of Hitlery Clinton, a once-and-perhaps-future presidential candidate herself. God help us!
Anyway, it was while in Indianapolis this past Friday to boost Senate Democrat hopeful Joe Donnelly, that "BJ" was heard to say that he hadn't expected to be so involved in the 2012 campaign. But with Hitlery being quite busy fending off accusations of being an incompetent Secretary of State, and trying to keep Barry from throwing her under the bus, he told the crowd assembled, "So you're stuck with me." But, apparently, Barry and many other Democrats, maybe even old ‘Slick’ himself, wouldn't have it any other way. Barry’s campaign also announced on Saturday that rocker Bruce ‘The Grimace’ Springsteen would be join old ‘BJ’ at a rally next Thursday in the Parma, Ohio, area.
Having always been a little bitter about the way Al Gore snubbed him in choosing to campaign largely without him back in 2000, ‘Slick’ now has found a sense of purpose again, having become Barry's surrogate-in-chief in a nationwide campaign tour. He’s been quite busy lending his long winded oratorical skill and folksy style to increasingly personal contests in races that, four weeks out, and shows few signs of budging. ‘BJ’ is said to be especially helpful in conservative states where Democrat candidates aren't eager to appear with the unpopular Barry. ‘Slick’ has a reputation as being a leading expert in the art of the political comeback, a skill, I suppose, that the struggling Barry could use right about now.
Also, there's this rather uncomfortable little truth: Barry finds himself in the position of needing old ‘Slick’ to generate needed support with white, working-class and independent voters who were drawn to ‘BJ’ and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, but who haven't quite warmed to a very socialist Barry. "If there's one thing we've learned in this election season, by the way, it is that a few words from Bill Clinton can do a man a lot of good," Romney joked in his own speech at the Clinton Global Initiative last month, a nod to Clinton's convention speech. The bruising 2008 Democratic primary between Barry and Hitlery Clinton damaged relations between the two families.
But I guess we can assume that’s all water under the bridge with Barry having appointed Hitlery to serve as his Secretary of State, an arrangement that has apparently served to heal the bruised relationship, at least, enough for ‘BJ’ to step in to help with Barry's re-election. And if Barry has ‘BJ’ to thank for a second term, one way to pay back the debt could be Barry's support for a Hitlery campaign of the future. For some reason, among voters generally, the rapist ‘BJ’ is more appealing than is the lying Barry. A CBS News/New York Times poll in September found 66 percent of registered voters with a favorable view of ‘Slick’, compared with just 45 percent for Barry. But Barry does need to tread lightly in making accusations directed at the State Department regarding the recent attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.
In speaking of ‘BJ’, Greg Haas said "He's got a way of communicating complex ideas in plain ways that no one else has." It was Haas who ran Clinton's 1992 campaign in Ohio and who is Democrat chairman in Franklin County, which includes Columbus. "No one in my lifetime. He's in a class by himself." We’re told that, at least to Democrats, ‘BJ’ symbolizes good economic times for many voters, including a federal budget that was balanced under his leadership. His convention speech rebutted Romney's attacks on Barry and accused Romney of pushing an economic plan that is doomed to fail. As weird as this sound, ‘BJ’ is said, again by Democrats, to lend Barry a certain amount of credibility on the issue that voters consistently name as their top concern: which is the economy.
All told, the old ‘Slickmeister’ has appeared at no fewer than 32 fundraisers and 15 rallies for Barry "Almighty." One big-ticket reception at a private New York City residence with ‘BJ’ last June drew 47 people who paid $40,000 apiece. On Friday, he joined Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan for a Detroit-area fundraiser that her campaign said brought in about $350,000 for Michigan Democrats. During a recent Las Vegas rally for Barry and other Democrat candidates, ‘Slick Willie’ showcased his ability to poke fun at foes without demonizing them. He mocked Romney's move to the political center in the opening presidential debate. You know that we have a guy who is nothing more than a serial rapist still involved here is really pretty sick.
Yet ‘BJ’ Clinton's prominent campaign role could pose some potential downsides for Democrats. Not that anyone thinks for a moment that to weird sex habits are anything to worry about, but some do fret that ‘BJ’ could overshadow Barry. A Pew Research Center poll last month showed 29 percent of those surveyed said ‘Slick's’ convention speech was the highlight of the party gathering, while just 16 percent called Barry's speech the highlight. But there's no hiding the rather bizarre form of ‘BJ’ magic during an election year. In Indianapolis on Friday, the former president noted that he had stayed the night before in Washington with Hitlery, celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary. Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for that one! Eww!
Let’s not forget here who it is that’s actually running for re-election and who is it that has spent the last four years working feverishly to destroy our country. And that would be Barry! It wasn’t the reputed rapist, ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton. It was the congenital liar, Barry "Almighty." And old ‘Slick’ can try to build up Barry as much as wants, but that does not alter the fact that Barry has been doing his best, for the last four years, to wreak about as much havoc and destruction as is presidentially possible. His presidency has been nothing short of an abject failure and all of the flowery prose from old ‘Slick Willie’ won’t change that fact. This country is dying, and in need of a remedy that Barry is completely incapable of coming up with.
