That was pro-Bill, not anything negative about Mrs. Obama. I mean, when the President is discussing things with the spouse, who would you rather it be- a housewife (or whatever she does), or a fromer POTUS with an encylcopedia like knowledge of foreign policy, domestic policy, etc.

And I’m still waiting for you to justify your positon, **Plan B.** It makes no sense to hold Bill’s behavior against Hillary. (Unless she wasn’t giving him enough action at home, but never mind that.) It makes no sense to think any less of her for standing up for a man who was both her husband and her political ally. And it makes no sense to think any less of her for blaming the “vast right-wing conspiracy” for all that inflated hype over a little extramarital misbehavior. You wanted Bill out and you were not part of that conspiracy – but that conspiracy **existed,** and had been gunning for Bill since before his inaugural. So what’s this egregious brain-dead shit about you, **for that reason,** giving lots of dough to the Pubs if Hillary runs? :dubious:
