Bill Clinton on The View

I miss Bill. I wish I could vote for him.

Here he is, on The View talking about why people vote the way they do and that we need to stop tearing down those we are not going to vote for. [Link]

Watch a YouTube clip of The View yesterday and ask yourself: Does this sound like a man working night and day to get Obama elected?

President Clinton sounds oddly detached, making analysis more powerful. (Indeed, he sounds less partisan than many pundits on talk tv.) He makes a good point that receives thunderous applause. After a long aside about how voters make up their minds, he says he have to stop looking for reasons to tear someone just because we are going to vote for the other guy. He’s right. The kind of rabid partisan that has spread from the web to tv is ultimately bad for the country.
