Well, this is revealing…
Bill Clinton told the Kennedy clan< "A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags."
Sounds kinda racist, huh?
The Weekly Standard reported:

Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillay Clinton for president in the 2008 election by describing Barack Obama this way: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

This anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill Clinton and Obama:

Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

    I remember that quote somewhat differently; the version that came out around election time 2008 was something to the effect that “he’d be serving us orange juice” … right?

    At any rate, why is this quote being resurrected now?

    (PS & OT – at another site, I saw a new slur-version of “mainstream media”: “MainSlime media”. I kinda like the sound of that one…)

    “This guy would have been carrying our bags,”

    And doing as shi))y a job at that as he has done in the WH.

    He’s incompetent all around.

    Dick Morris: “Bill Clinton Does Not Want Barack Obama To Win”

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/06/05/dick_morris_bill_clinton_does_not_want_barack_obama_to_win.html

    Carlson asserted, “Well, [Bill Clinton] hates Barack Obama.” He believes Clinton’s behavior displays his dislike of the current president.

    “Clinton’s spent the last 12 years hanging around people from the private equity world, from the hedge fund world,” Carlson said. “From the financial services business, generally, he’s made hundreds of millions from them, is he going to side with them or the guy who beat his wife? Of course he’s siding with them.”

    Carlson’s convinced that Clinton won’t even vote for Barack Obama in the 2012 election.

    Colmes chimed in saying that just because Clinton called Romney a “sterling” businessman doesn’t mean he thinks he’s qualified to be president. Get the full story and more at the Fox News Insider …

    If this is true then why is Clinton going to speak at DNC convention?

    Bill Clinton ditches Obama message — again

    Talking about the economic crisis in Europe and the persistent economic malaise in the United States, Clinton told CBNC that extending the Bush-era tax cuts across the board was “probably the best thing to do right now.”

    Obama has made raising taxes on upper earners a signature part of his reelection pitch — and Republicans were quick to exploit the daylight between the two Democratic presidents.

    “President Obama’s plans for a massive tax increase after the election will further harm the economy,” Romney’s spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. “Don’t just take our word for it. Today, former President Bill Clinton endorsed continuing tax relief for job creators — not the tax increase President Obama has in mind.”

    Clinton made clear in the interview that he wasn’t fully endorsing the Republican plan — “the real issue is not whether they should be extended for another few months. The real issue is whether the price the Republican House will put on that extension is the permanent extension of the tax cuts, which I think is an error.”

    But his office nonetheless Tuesday was emailing out a statement explaining what the former president was meaning to say.

    How come racist remarks are not racist remarks when Democrats say them?

    I don’t know about Obama carrying Clinton’s bags, but now we have Clinton trying to carry the water for Obama and Obama is so desperate he’d probably let the head of the KKK speak for him if he thought the guy could help his sorry a## to get re-elected.

    The “Georges” who used to work as porters on the Pullman cars in the heyday of train travel did it all. And many of them made a very good living by being very good at their jobs.

    This clown Obama wouldn’t even think of that line of work. Because it required both competence and doing real work.

    I have zero respect for this clown, his wife and his “advisors.”

    Rush has talked about this for the past few years, except Rush heard it that Clinton told Kennedy, “a few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee”. Either way, it says a lot about Clinton. Just think if a Republican had said either.

    I think Bubba just has the hots for Mooch, that’s the only reason he’s speaking at the DNC. And Hillary hates all three of these political animals – wouldn’t be surprised if she put out a hit on all three of these scumbags herself.

    “THE CLINTONS’ REVENGE”

    [A Conservative’s Outrageous Fantasy]

    It was a night we shall remember, for as long as we live,
    “Convention Night” at the DNC, and Bill had a speech to give.
    He was SUPPOSED to praise Obama, and arouse the listless crowd,
    But instead he eyes went “small and red” and he started talking LOUD:

    “Now, my friends,” he said with boldness,
    For he knew they loved him still,
    “I’ve been asked to say some special words,
    And I promise that I will”

    “We have come tonight to nominate,
    A toxic, stupid whore,
    “Who has spent our children’s birthright
    And now wants to spend some more!”

    “It was I who made the budget work,
    It was I who made us great,
    “This little twerp has screwed you all,
    And it was all your great mistake.”

    “So kick this BOZO out of here,
    And wait for a better day,
    In four short years, it’s HILLARY’S TIME,
    And I’m with her all the way!”

    YEAH! WOULDN’T WE LOVE TO SEE IT?
