22nd Amendment be damned; the nation’s first two black “co-presidents” Clinton are sticking together and Barack Obama doesn’t like it too much. In fact, the back-and-forth jabs are beginning to get downright UGLY these days as the race for the Oval Office between the leading Democratic candidates is heating up.
“Barry” Obama, as he is known amongst his closets friends, finds it more “troubling’ that “First Black Co-President I”, Bill, is campaigning for his wife, “First Black Co-President II”, Hillary, than he is “troubled” by the fact the Former Presidents Clinton are running for a third term in violation of our 22nd Amendment. Perhaps, “Barry” is hoping nobody will pay attention should he win the presidency, become reelected, then run for a third term of his own; perhaps he is just jealous he can never truly become our nation’s “First Black President”; he can only become our THIRD “Black President”; or perhaps there is another reason for the bad blood between the camps. One can only speculate at this point, but “Barry” is promising he will become more specific and “direct” in his complaints against Bill soon…
From ABC News:
EXCLUSIVE: Barack vs. Bill: Obama Hits Ex-Prez Over ‘Troubling’ Attacks
Vows to ‘Directly Confront Bill Clinton’ Over ‘Statements That Are Not Factually Accurate’Sen. Barack Obama says he’s ready to confront former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy on behalf of his wife’s presidential campaign, “troubling.”
In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts “Good Morning America” today Obama, D-Ill., directly engaged the former democratic president on a series of issues.
“You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling,” Obama said during his first morning television interview since coming in second in Nevada. “He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts — whether it’s about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas.
“This has become a habit, and one of the things that we’re going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate,” Obama added.
Obama apparently was referring to Clinton’s comment that it was a “fairy tale” that Obama has consistently opposed the Iraq war from the start, and that Nevada union officials backing Obama were strong-arming members into caucusing for Obama. …”
Stay tuned, folks — this is just Round I of many more to come as the Former Co-Black Presidents Clinton and our nation’s third potential “Black President” Obama fight for control of that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

[...] Now Barry’s scared again. He needs help. He lost three in a row and he might lose four. Bill Clinton has been attacking him relentlessly and he doesn’t have anyone on the payroll who can attack Bill. So what does he do? He goes back to the media. He “announces” again, this time on Good Morning America, that he is now going to confront Bill Clinton about these attacks. Right before the debate in South Carolina. [...]

Hey GTL,
never thought of the Clintons as “Co-Black” Presi-dents… to me they are Carpetbaggers through and through.
