I have a question: Why do people refer to Obama as Bubba? I don't understand this nickname. Can someone please explain it to me, I've seen it in many anti-Obama posts.
They don't that I know of. Bubba is usually Bill's nickname.

Does anyone notice that Bill Clinton does not look at people when he talks to them. He is usually staring into space and goes off in long tangents. He rarely speaks in a conversational tone but instead is more of a teacher or lecturer in interviews. I think he has got kind of scary.
I think part of that is because he no longer has to worry about winning people's votes and he's not speaking on a big stage. I know a few people that stare off elsewhere, half lost in thought while speaking.

There are a lot of nick names used by PUMA's and general McCain fans.
My favorite is NObama but they also use Bubba. These are just bitter people who now starting to realize that they are not going to win on Nov 4th.
Why post what CNN has on this? Why not go directly to the Meet the Press transcript? And the transcript includes this:

MR. BROKAW: But I get the sense that you think that he has the potential for greatness, but he's not yet arrived at that station.
PRES. CLINTON: Well, he would probably agree with that. I mean, he was, you know, until he was in the State Senate until 2005 and then he began a campaign for president, which is, in all probability, will be successful, and those are very great accomplishments. But those are personal accomplishments. When he becomes president, he'll be doing things for the American people and for the world and he is--and the greatness will then become apparent because of the good he'll do. And I, I think that's what I very much believe is going to happen.
[1] Clinton was being gracious when he described McCain as great. Much like Obama being gracious to McCain during the debate (the number of times Obama said McCain was right seemed to really irk some people), Clinton being gracious to McCain has caught some on the right by surprise. Perhaps they are not familiar with graciousness?
[2] I agree with Clinton's assessment that Obama's accomplishments to date probably do not rise to the level of "great", but as President, Obama will achieve greatness.
[3] It cracks me up when people who would in all likelihood not credit Clinton for knowing how to tie his shoes take something that Clinton says about a person that can be taken in any kind of negative light and suddenly, gee, Clinton sure knows what he's talking about!
It's clearly a pitiful attempt to discredit President Clinton's clear endorsement of Senator Obama to the Office of President, and in a slight of hand to also discredit President Clinton. No one in their right mind believes a senior member of the Democrat's Party is endorsing the Republican candidate beyond common courtesy.
Where have you been the last 3 weeks? Don't you know the left is absolutely bonkers about Bubba's praise of McCain and Palin recently? He reminded people just last week that it was Mac asking for all those town hall debates with obama. He reminded people just how patriotic and what a wonderful servant Mac has been his entire life in the service of his country. He's hot for Palin , based on his comments about her.
And now this. Oh, this is just too good to be true.
And the media has studiously reported each and every one of his statements.
Where has all the love from the left for Bill Clinton gone?
Bill Clinton is one of the best on the campaign trail for McCain and he does it all for free.
The left can toss insults all day over this matter...fact remains Bill Clinton has said this on many occasions and has not been able to say that he likes Obama, or thinks Obama is a good person.
Where has all the love from the left for Bill Clinton gone?
Speaking from the relative center here, where did all the love allasudden for Bubba on the right begin? When will everyone go back to singling him out for everything from the mortgage meltdown to the Yankees not being in the MLB playoffs?

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
This is why we pin part of the blame on Clinton...because that is where is goes.

As for the Yankees I'll go with Steinbrenner.
Clinton is the only dem to be elected to two terms in 30 years....love him or hate him he deserves credit. The left had a lovefest with Bill Clinton until Barry hit the scene...now Bill promotes McCain more than Barry and he doesn't even get paid to do it...we don't love Bill we just love what he says about McCain!

Have you seen Bill Clinton when asked about McCain vs. Obama? He easily says very glowing things about McCain. When asked about Obama, he can barely choke out the words, which are never that glowing. He said he has only actually met him once at the lunch in Harlem. It is obvious he is uncomfortable endorsing him publicly.
