I have been thinking and you know Bill Clinton was not so bad after all, I mean really if you think about it people were working, banks were not failing, car companies were not failing, they say the deficit was lower and he managed to even save some money. http://adugan-billclintonblog.blogspot.com/

Unfortunately, I don't think Bill would leave his calling. He's struggling right now with his campaign for donations and I believe he loves the challenge. He was meant to do greater things than just being POTUS.
As much as I would love to do a Bring Bill Back campaign, it has side effects that I really really do not want to have to fight. One term is enough for 0-POTUS... two terms, cap it! Now that is a cap & trade (with Hillary of course) I will gladly sign up for.

I don't think he'd do it. But I think Hillary would and anyone who is for her running again and wants to support that, then I support them. I was reading at Huffpo yesterday on healthcare and everybody is so p.o.'d at Obama over there...Saying we told you so isn't very satisfying either...Single Payer is off the table and the gooped up mess that is Obamacare is on...it will fail miserably and all hopes of ever getting single payer will go with it.
I saw this coming during the primary. That he would RUIN any hope we ever had after sixty years of trying to get single payer...epic failure. I cannot believe the huge mess he's made out of something so damned simple. His pandering to insurance and pharma companies *something that Hillary's plan cut OUT* is shameless. His plan that won't work and thus will lead everyone who never wanted uni anyway to say *even though this isn't that* "We told you it would never work!" Is Obama a democrat at all??? What the hell does he think he is doing??
Is there ANYTHING he cannot screw up...starting with costing us Hillary to begin with?
Yes, you don't know how many times Amy I wished there was a way to bring back a Clinton alright...Hillary at least knew what the hell she was doing on these issues. But, nooooo and now the Huffpo crowd are so shocked at what Obama is doing. Thanks for costing us the best presidential candidate of my entire lifetime at a time when we so desperately needed her. Thanks ACORN!! ...for helping to create a disaster.
Ok. My earlier response was hasty. [And, I had to step away a bit for something else in the meanwhile and now I have read the contents of the link.]
Yes, as a 'ruse' and awakening, "Bring Bill Clinton Back" is a good early 'awareness building' 'pre-campaign' strategy.... TO SOME EXTENT.
How would it progress? It would bring the same old issues back on the table.
Hillary has been building her OWN brandname and her own presence.. so much so Bill is now Hillary's husband.
I would like to not get into the 'ruse' - we have a LOT of work to do with the umpteen misguided policies on the table.
Meanwhile, I think a lot of people are beginning to realize that Hillary would have made a great president; but of course we knew that all along. And, the realization will continue without Bill having to be brought into the picture. I am glad Hillary is shining on her own merit.

I would love it if Bill told Obama to step aside and took over as a prime minister. That would be great.
like musharaf in pakistan did without the fighting
Bill looks like he still would be up to it too. If Hillary were President we would be seeing Bill out and about helping a lot. I was looking forward to that.
