President Obama Abandons White House After Bill Clinton Says ‘Please Go’

Posted on | December 10, 2010 | 22 Comments

Wow. Who knew it would be so easy to get rid of him? Click the image to watch this incredible video:

Classic headline at Hot Air:

Great news: Bill Clinton
apparently now president again

The story from the Washington Post:

Obama introduced Clinton, said that the two had “just had a terrific meeting” and that it might be useful for Clinton to “share some of his thoughts.”
“I’m going to let him speak very briefly and then, I’ve actually got to go over and do some just one more Christmas party,” Obama said.
Clinton feigned deference for a moment.
“I feel awkward being here, and now you’re going to leave me all by myself?” Clinton said, barely suppressing a smile.
Obama, his arms crossed, stood watching Clinton for a few minutes. Then, as promised, he left.
“I’ve been keeping the first lady waiting for about half an hour, so I’m going to take off,” Obama said.
“I don’t want to make her mad,” Clinton said, smiling. “Please go.”
“You’re in good hands,” Obama joked.

Bill Clinton never had a problem with “keeping the first lady waiting for about half an hour.” IYKWIMAITYD.

    “Please go.”

    Simplest campaign slogan ever. Thanks, Bill!

    Just when you think… he can’t be this much a fool. He has to go and prove it.

    Maybe Bubba is campaigning to become America’s CEO, so that Obama can get more time on the golf course.

    “Please go” has a nice ring to it, and fits well on a bumper sticker . . .

    Just when I think I’m over being embarrassed for our nation… There he goes again.

    Might be worthwhile watching SNL tomorrow to see what they do with this.

    Is that the voice of Ed “Sargent” Schultz asking the first question after Hopenchange is dismissed?

    2012 simply cannot get here soon enough. Geez, Bill Clinton got his wings clipped at two years in and then we never had to worry about his policies again.

    My prediction is that Obama will resign before June 2011. PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

    That did it. I am beyond feeling anything but sorry for Obama. Did I just watch an American president allow himself to not only give control of his message to someone else, but allow himself to be *dismissed*? Holy cow. I said it when he was elected, I said it when he held the beer summit, I said it a dozen other times: This man is small potatoes. My only fear is that he’ll figure out just how much of a charade his life has been before he is safely out of power. Anybody here ever seen a psychotic break in a true narcissist? I have and it ain’t pretty. I’ve never seen one in a *powerful* narcissist though. I’m a little scared.

    The only thing that surprises me is that Obama didn’t bow before leaving.
