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.”

Clinton is giving a keynote address at the Democratic convention this week in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Its truly amazing you can't and won't accept the truth if it even remotely puts some Democrat is a less than flattering light......

What a pinhead.....always in denial, always the apologist, always the ultra partisan...and the facts be damned......

Though I try to defend Conservatives most of the time, and try to present the another perspective, even I face undeniable facts about Republican assholes when its the

truth......and this isn't the first time Clintons racist remark surfaced.....

Its not like Russert is a right winger on FoxNews....he is a self admitted DEMOCRAT worked for MSNBC (the Obama kiss-ass network) for Christ sake....

How convenient...the only two people who can confirm this are dead. Kennedy and Russert.


Shall we break out all the derogatory stuff other republicans said about Romney before he got the nomination?

Hell. Is Newt even speaking to him yet???

Bill is still with us, he could confirm what he said.....but then hes a lying perjurer, so I guess thats out......

I think Obama was told about it back in '08 but of course can't offer any proof......but he an Kennedy were asshole buddies....
 

RYAN LIZZA: [In 2008] the Obama campaign ran essentially a character attack on Hillary Clinton. It wasn't just a policy attack--it was a character attack. And so there were some real, real hard feelings that these two camps had to get over once Obama won.

SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: You talk about, I guess where President Clinton said "a couple of years ago, he'd be carring our bags." And some people said that was just a comment about the age of President Obama and lack of experience, others said, that's a racial comment.

LIZZA: I don't think it's racial. I don't think Bill Clinton has a racist bone in his body.

MSM defends democrats again....

The reported comment was similar to the one attributed to Clinton in a 2010 book.

"A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee," Clinton was quoted as saying in Game Change, by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.

Clinton's speech to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, isn't until Wednesday night, but the former president is getting attention for remarks he has already made, the New York Post reported.

Clinton has, for example, on earlier occasions called Obama "incompetent" and "an amateur" who has no clue about how the world operates, according to an article in Sunday's post by Edward Klein, author of The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House.

"Obama doesn't know how to be president," Clinton told friends and political advisers in 2011, the article added.

"He doesn't know how the world works," Clinton had said.

Klein said Clinton had convened a meeting at his Chappaqua, Westchester, home to urge his wife to challenge Obama for the 2012 nomination.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's secretary of state, rejected the advice, Klein said.

Bill Clinton has not commented on the issue.

Obama advisers had tried to keep the former president off the big stage this week, according to Klein, wanting to relegate him to a minor, nonprime-time speaking role.

But Bill Clinton threatened to boycott the convention unless he was given a prominent role.

Obama's chief political strategist, David Axelrod, argued that Obama needed Clinton more than Clinton needed him, according to Klein.

Clinton is as sharp as ever, it seems.....his opinion and description of Obama was right on the mark accurate........
 
If ol' BJ actually said "a few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags", is it possible he was expressing admiration or approval of the advances made by Black Americans?
