Absolutely. It almost makes me laugh to see their latest outrage - and as usual, it's both petty and pathetic.

Most Americans have a favorable opinion of Bill Clinton. Most Americans also like to see that Obama was able to work together with Republicans and reach a compromise on the tax bill. Overall, the last few days have been very good for Obama.

It reveals the weakness in his character to feel the need for outside support of his agenda.
If he thought Justin Beaber or Lady Gaga could win him support, you would've seen them prancing around for him also.
Obama has sunk below 'used car salesman' status to that of 'real estate agent'.
obama is weak, pathetic excuse for a president of the United States of America! He should take his lumps like a Man the good with the bad but his narcissistic personality makes that difficult! So he better pull up his big boy pants and lead! But oh wait he has NO EXPERIENCE to know how to do that and is never so apparent as letting Bill Clinton take charge..... OMG

Really?

How do you figure being thrown under the bus by the entire CBC and Bernie Sanders' 9 hr. filibuster against his compromise equate to very good days for Obama?

No outrage on this - just making a note of it.

The compromise itself is more outrageous than Clinton. We either get more spending through unemployment or higher tax rates - some compromise.

I would've preferred no compromise and let all the tax cuts expire, but Obama obviously felt that a deal needed to get done. Good for him. If libs and conservs are upset...then the compromise was probably perfect.

Press Briefing with President Obama and President Clinton

He gives Clinton the stage while he goes to a Christmas party.

Is Obama so weak that he can't handle this on his own?

Bill's Back: Clinton commands stage at White House (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Bills-Back-Clinton-commands-apf-4065249916.html?x=0 - broken link)
Of all the things he has done or not done and all the comments he has made, this one takes the cake. I wonder what he was thinking?

President Obama is getting it done...and don't you forget it either.
sorry, it is being discussed a lot of places. It was using very poor judgement and totally out of line for a sitting President. You can defend him all you want, which you always do. You can close your eyes to the fact he isn't perfect and you can deny this was a major screw-up, just like his comment about 57 states, but the fact is: it should not have happened.

of course a Pres has a tight schedule, but you do not conduct a press conference and leave it, no matter what. The first lady certainly could have waited 10 more minutes. I don't think this is an outrage, I just think it is being brought out that he doesn't always think standing up.
