Bill Clinton Says Obama Is Victim Of “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”

Politico:

Former President Bill Clinton told NBC’s David Gregory on “Meet the Press” that the so-called “vast right-wing conspiracy” still exists and is “as virulent as it was,” but has had its impact diminished by the nation’s changing demographics.

Gregory asked: “Your wife famously talked about the vast right wing conspiracy targeting you. As you look at this opposition on the right to President Obama, is it still there?”

The former president replied: “Oh, you bet. Sure it is. It’s not as strong as it was, because America has changed demographically. But it’s as virulent as it was. I mean, they’re saying things about him. You know, it’s like when they accused me of murder, and all that stuff they did. … But … it’s not really good for the Republicans and the country, what’s going on now. I mean, they may be hurting President Obama. They can take his numbers down. They can run his opposition up. But, fundamentally, he and his team have a positive agenda for America. Their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail.”

More from the interview:

DAVID GREGORY: “Let’s talk about some of the big challenges back home for President Obama and on health care. As this debate rolls through you remember it well. Do you think the president has leveled with the American people on this fact — that Americans are gonna have to pay higher taxes if they want health care reform?

BILL CLINTON: “Well, I think he’s made it clear that it costs some money to insure more people, … and I have no criticism of what he’s done. He’s been at a terrible disadvantage in the law-making phase. Remember what old Mark Twain said: ‘There are two things nobody should ever have watch being made. Sausage and laws.’ And he has a better congress than I did. … [w]hile they’re developing the bill, he set out certain principles, and he is vulnerable to whatever anybody wants to say about any of the bills through congress, whether that’s his position or not.” …

DAVID GREGORY: “I know you and President Obama, when you get together, as you did recently, talk a lot about the economy. Has it come up yet where he says, ‘Geez, Mr. President, so what happens when you’re nine months into the job and the honeymoon is over?’”

ILL CLINTON: “Well, we laughed about it. I think he gets that. … I think there’s still a lot of good will for him. The American people know he is highly intelligent. They know he’s working his heart out. They know he’s put together a good team. … Now, keep in mind, health care is complicated, can be misrepresented. It’s personal. It can spark fear. It’s expensive. And the people that got the money want to keep it. So the change is hard. But I think we’re gonna get a health care bill. And I think he can then swing into the energy, and I think he’ll get an energy bill. I think he’s gonna succeed.” …

DAVID GREGORY: “But do you worry about a repeat of ’94, politically?”

BILL CLINTON: “There’s no way they can make it that bad. For several reasons. Number one, the country is more diverse and more interested in positive action. Number two, they’ve seen this movie before, because they had eight years under President Bush when the Republicans finally had the whole government, and they know the results were bad. And– (LAUGHTER) number three– the Democrats haven’t taken on the gun lobby like I did, and they took 15 of our members out. So I don’t think– it’ll be, whatever happens, it’ll be manageable for the president.” …

DAVID GREGORY: “You left the presidency, but you’ve hardly had a low profile, with Clinton Global Initiative, and other things. Do you think about a return to either public office or another form of public life?”

BILL CLINTON: “No. I — that’s Hillary’s job now. We’ve totally switched roles. She spent most of her life in the nongovernmental sector, and that’s what I do now. I love what I do now. And, while I can’t touch as many lives and as many things as I did as president, the things I do focus on we can have a huge impact. And I’m trying to convince people that all of us need to be the kind of thing I’m doing now. I think 21st century citizenship is gonna be exciting. And I like being a part of it.

DAVID GREGORY: “Will she run for president again then?”

BILL CLINTON: “(LAUGHTER) That’s up to her. I do– you know, we’re not getting any younger. (LAUGHTER) But I’m proud of what she’s doing now. I think she’s doing a good job. And I’m honored that, I think it’s pretty thrilling that she and the president have established the relationship they have. And it’s a good argument for reconciliation and remembering the big things for all the rest of us.”

    Ya, Bill that “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” you refer to….its called “Common sense”.

  • Phil Byler

    We have now been reminded what a liar Bill Clinton is.

  • Guy

    Hey Bill- Shut the Fuck up!

  • copperpeony

    There are is so much dirt and dead people in his closet, he should just shut up. Or else he should talk about Bin Laden, his failure as a president to see the obvious way back then and his immoral behavior in the WH. Idiot :twisted:

  • Bobby E

    Was out of touch then and is still out of touch. Bill, that was Hillary’s line. Try coming up with something original … that’s right, you can’t.

  • DC

    “Bill Clinton Says Obama Is Victim Of “Vast Right-Winged Conspiracy”"……

    WHAT…A…COINCIDENCE, SO ARE YOU!!!! :roll:

    • DC

      …or should I say “so WERE you”……..

  • Kirk

    This is the only time I ever hoped he was right! Where do we send a donation?

  • vincenzo4

    His wife said the very same words in the early nineties. It’s all obfuscation and top cover. Bullshit propaganda. Removes any accountability and allows projection of blame by a President who needs to be in prison, both of them actually.

  • mike3481

    He’s correct.

    But, only if he’s referring to the British granting Independence in 1963 to their Colony in East Africa, which is known today as Kenya.

    Without that taking place, Obama’s parents never meet.

    So, in the convoluted kinda way Bill (is gay) Clinton’s mind works, Obama is the victim of a vast right wing conspiracy.

    You bet there is a Vast right wing conspiracy! And it’s getting bigger all the time. It’s also known as taking our country back from fascist progressives who don’t give a hoot about WE The People.

    We all know the media has lied and covered up the truth about obama, even some libtards I know are saying that they are. Maybe the coke snorting whore chaser did have people killed. When we get our country back we should look in to it.

    • Nikki

      It is paramount that we, the people who LOVE this country, uncover and reveal the lies. We have done a great job so far, but let’s keep it going and pick up the pace. This battle is not over by a long shot. We MUST take control of the media centers one way or another. We MUST revamp the education system starting from the top; that is to say, dump the NEA and strip the refuse and excriment from our schools. How do we attack the teachers? Be a LARGE and SINGULAR voice at PTA meetings and school board meetings. Ladies and gentlemen, we MUST do this for our children and OUR Nation’s future.

  • Ernest T. Bass

    Bill…I’ll tell you the same thing I told Jimmy C…..STFU !!!

  • Sully

    whoa… are we going backward in time? The last 9 months Barry used Booosh and now BJ is frontin for Him everywhere…
    wtf???

  • David

    “… the Democrats haven’t taken on the gun lobby like I did …” Yeah, but it is in the works. The same way hitler, stalin and all other dictators ban the private ownership of firearms, this is coming down the road. Assault weapons, hi cap mags, laser scribing ammo, taxing ammo, claiming guns are a health threat, this is all coming down the road. There is a “club” of which I am a proud member. Go to this website for more information: http://www.cafepress.com/rwcorg .

    ” And, while I can’t touch as many lives and as many things as I did as president …” I think that he is not interested in touching “lives” as much as touching YOU KNOW WHAT and having his YOU KNOW WHAT touched.

    clinton revvives the conspiracy
    The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago. Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term “vast, right-wing conspiracy” to describe how her husband’s political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.

    Bill Clinton was asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: “You bet. Sure it is. It’s not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it’s as virulent as it was.”

    Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and “their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail.”
    If by “fail” he means that we want to see bo NOT instill a socialist state on the United States, then YES, I HOPE TO GOD BO FAILS MISERABLY!!! Most of us on this blog have been inside socialist countries and have seen the damage and destruction done. No one really wants that here unless they believe they are goin to be part of the ruling politicos.

    BO, fail. Fail in your every attempt to destroy the nation which I have fought for and to support. Fail, BO. You should be driven out of here on a rail with nothing more than what the people of this great nation think you should carry. I am willing to give you one bag (made of carpet) and your kitchen sink. Those items are what you must carry as you leave this nation.

    • Nanny

      That’s the first thing I thought of – he must be puttin his slick willy in another intern. That vast right wing conspiracy made him DO IT! What a piece of shit!

  • Shooter

    They just keep wagging the Dog…….. Funny how Bill Clinton has higher favor than Hillary in Obama’s eyes. I guess he is not only a racist, but a sexist too.

  • crimedog

    Its typical Democrat BS. They recycle the same tired and lame ideas so its to be expected that Billy Bob would recycle Hillbillary’s same tired line. The conspiracy is what Obama is trying to do to this counry, and it isn’t coming from the “right wing”. Im sure that Billy Bob is in on it, right in the middle.
