Comments on: Bill Clinton's Image Damaged

Politico: Former President's Return To Partisan Politics Causes Public Perception To Suffer

ISN''''T TIME FOR THE CLINTONS TO STEP ASIDE ?

Is it HILLARY NIXON TIME ??

if you really believe in the progressive movement, why is she blocking the very candidate that we have , as progressives, believe in ? I remember NIXON and how he refused to step aside, even in the face of scandal, isn''''t HILAARY and BILL ( remember HSU and MARK RICH !) the epitome of NIXONIAN self focus ?
As a Progressive and a College Professor of World and Ideas, I had supported H. as a woman, but I can no longer do so, as the choice for change is clear. Our Peace Ladder has left, and she chose not to climb on.

Progressive movement? Now what kind of shill is this? Sounds like a load of new buzz words to me!

How does Mr. Obama represent a progressive America when his plans were in fact first proposed by HIllary Clinton? When every time HIllary Clinton takes a stance he saud, I agree with Hillary?

The new progressive movement sounds more like a bowel movement to me, especially if it in any way is talking about Barak Obama!

Colleen, that is definitely one of the more reasoned and reasonable posts I have seen on the boards.

As the saying goes, "you can''t put the toothpaste back in the tube." We are debating racial issues that have taken over the campaigns of our Democrat Candidates. Was it inevitible? I suppose if it hadn''t been, then we would have been in "denial." I can''t help but believe that both candidates'' campaign teams have worked to stay focused on a narrow field of national, international issues. But, here we are, listening, daily, to our candidates apologizing. Racial issues have now taken the spotlight. Comments to these articles seem to reflect a tenor of great bitterness growing wider and deeper. In them, I hear the need for "revenge" to overpower the "whites" and on the opposite end, the need to "hold the blacks in their place." Another faction of voters seem to be trying to demonstrate their "higher consciousness" by swinging votes toward Obama. After all is said and done, will we have the "best" person in the Oval Office?

[Stratmaster7]

all of this only shows that Bill is more interested in political service than his legacy and image. He believes his wife is the best candidate, and he is fighting for her. whether you agree and vote for her or not, I don''t understand why you would hold it against a man that he is fighting for and defending his spouse.

When a person born in this country calls themselves an African American, they are being Racist!!! Until they call themselves Americans, there will always be racism.

Why do you insist on telling people what Black people call themselves when you know danged well that the great government issued it''s own standard for defining who is to be called what. I still call myself Black, that''s what the government told my parents we were when we were enrolled in scholl (non-segregated had become the norm by then), and before then they told everyone that we were colored, so that''s what my 89 year old grandmother calls us. Now you KNOW what they called us before then, and it surely wasn''t "AmericaN", though it did end with the last letter of that word. Stop the silliness.

Good thing it''s just his image and not the real Bill Clinton. He''d be on death row in that case.

"Ronald Reagan''s Image Damaged By Bush Beyond Repair"


I would like to read the article with this headline.

Before, only gossip columnists said Hillary was icy. Now, we have all seen it more than once.

The image of a man is influenced by who his wife is... If his wife is beautiful, his stock goes up under the assumption that more elegant women have greater choice and lure a more powerful man.

ksh1022: The early morning hour must have softened your brain. FDR was the lousiest President we ever had. It was the war in Europe that "fixed" the 12 bad years you speak of. It''s what got us out of the depression, not Roosevelt who was a mamma''s boy, a spoiled brat, a pretender and an enabler. He gave the people a little hope here a little there. People were hanging by a thread of that hope which he could never fulfill with his phony human kindness. Even as a child of 7 I could see through his acting. He gave an excellent caring performance. I was already and old man at 7.
My father eventually got a decent job about a year or two after Hitler invaded Poland. The war was on. It would eventually engulf my younger brother and me as we grew into manhood.
To digress: The depression ended because of the war. In one fell swoop Hitler ended Germanys monstrous inflation and our depression. What a trade!! I would rather have had the depression. Too many of my dearest friends didn''t survive the war. Quarar
