An Insightful Note From a Reader on Bill Clinton’s Comments on GMA
By SusanUnPC on August 5, 2008 at 1:25 PM in Barack Obama, Bill Clinton
A NoQuarter reader sent me an insightful remark about Bill Clinton’s interview on GMA, along with a link to the article featuring the video by “garychapelhill” at Riverdaughter’s blog, The Confluence: “America calls Obama’s bluff on the race card.” First, here’s the video. Next, the reader’s must-read insights on what Bill Clinton really meant:
Then, our reader writes:
If you notice, at the beginning of the video, Bill makes a comment about Obama being held to a different standard than others who have run for president, but he also said (around the 44 second mark): “That everybody has a right to run for president as long as they’re qualified under the Constitution” (emphasis mine).
Here’s the thing – I have followed Bill’s political career for a long time (and I have studied it closely because I am a political scientist) and he did NOT say this accidentally. This is a message to TexasDarlin’ (I am sure he knows all about her posts and her reports) to keep pressing in on the citizenship/birth certificate issue.
Though I can probably never prove this (and Bill would likely deny it, if he were ever confronted with it), I know that Bill was trying to say – “keep going!”
NOTE: That is NOT what Bill Clinton said. We’re just reading between the lines, perhaps hopefully.
How’s that for insight?
