Former President Bill Clinton Allegedly Slams President Obama In Racist Remarks
Former President Bill Clinton Allegedly Slammed President Obama In Racist Remarks
Reports are claiming that former President Bill Clinton made insensitive remarks about then-Senator Barack Obama during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Clinton allegedly made the insensitive remark to Senator Ted Kennedy in 2008, while trying to convince him to endorse Hillary for the Democratic nomination, according to the New Yorker. Allegedly he said: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” Clinton and President Obama are said to have clashed after President Obama won the bid for Democratic presidential nominee over Clinton’s wife.
Although Clinton is said to have since given his support to President Obama, his remark is the latest in a series of apparent outbursts against the President. There’s a claim that Clinton made yet another insensitive remark in 2010 about President Obama, in which he stated: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee, ” in the book titled “Game Change” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. Rumors are claiming Clinton nearly boycotted this week’s Democratic National Convention, stating he wouldn’t attend the convention if he wasn’t given a prominent role. Interesting enough, he is slated to speak on Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.
Clinton is also quoted for previously branding President Obama as “incompetent” and an “amateur” last year. Clinton added that Obama “does not know how the world works“, according to an article in the Sunday Post by Edward Klein, author of “The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House.” Reports claim Clinton even urged his wife to quit her job as U.S. Secretary of State and to challenge President Obama for the Democratic ticket as she knew how to do a better job of it.
Clinton, once revered as the “first black President” by prominent African American leaders, has not released a comment in response to the allegations.
I am so sicj of people say bill Clinton was the first black president. That is a big lie and a dumb one at that!! I am a democrate and bill clinbton was not all that when he was president. he is a white man who thinks like a white man.
This is old news. The 2008 quote during the primaries was fairly widely reported back then. Big news, right? Clinton occasionally utters stupid and racist things. What else is new? The “First Black President”? Please!
That was yesterday. President Obama and President Clinton have mended fences and are on the same sheet of music. Let bygones be bygones. This is about winning the White House, and the Congress. This is about electing President Obama for a second term. John McCain, Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, etc. all said nasty things about Mitt Romney. Where are they today? Out there campaigning for Mitt Romney. It’s only some petty democrats and petty Black folks who want to hold on to old grudges. Get over it. You say you’re a christian, then forgive and Show up at the polls and elect President Barak Obama. P.s. he’s not the first Black president, but he sure knew how to hang with Black folks!
Ignorant Negroes Love Bill Clinton Wake -up Dummies this is a Southern Cracker who killed a Brother who they thought was going for the Presidentsy Remember your Brother Ron Brown! Brother Ron Brown got too close to Africa & it sounds like the CIA who guided his Plane into the Mountains in Russia & when at the crash scene a Russian man was also killed because he heard the Crash & was there with our Brother & the CIA killed him & a innocent Russian man who was trying to help Ron Brown at the crash scene! This was a very wise Brother who helped Clinton get Re Elected! He went to school with Hilary & got better Grades than Her He was a Lawyer!Bill Clinton During the MMM ran out of D.C. Like a B##ch & all them Sambo’s talked BS but it was a Success & it inspired Me & us to try and Clean-up & get up!Satanic Forces Surround America Always Did so we as a People need to get out of God’s way He wants to Destroy these Enemies just make sure we clean-up ourselves so we don’t get caught up in Satans traps!
Brother Ishmar, good point. Going back several years, I remember reading that Ron Brown was found at that plane crash with a “bullet wound to his head?” And how about that other Clinton aide found dead with a bullet in his head sitting on a park bench. It was ruled a suicide…???? There was also something about that guy having been involved with Hillary..???? The Clinton`s hands have always been dirty…May peace, blessings and wisdom be upon you Bro. Ishmar and Allah be your light.
We lost more under Clinton than under Nixon the father of Modern Conservatives! Welfare Reform etc but this Cracker Did’nt stop Corporate Welfare? They stopped entitlements or cutback keep messing with these Dixiecrats they use Negroes when they need to! They have a Slavemaster Mentality! Gone & Sharecrop it’s not slavery lol Dummy!
Dr. Watkins,
What in the world is this about. Why are you not talking about the issues in Ohio and other states where Americans are not allowed to vote because the Republicans are trying to steal the vote again. President Clinton and Presient Obama are not enemies.
You need to listen to MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Christopher Hayes, Chris Matthews, The Ed Show, Karen Finney, Melissa Harris-Perry and Others that give news that is worthy…not the junk from back when.
If you are going back to “2008″ remind the voters of The Bush years…worth reading and remembering.
Mr. Ishmar Muhammad,
Your thoughts appears to be of a paranoid person. You do not have any evidence of President Clinton and the death of Ron Brown. You are blowing hot air and appear to be stuck in the seventies.
Toni, leave Bro. Ishmar alone. He has a right to post his opinion like you and I. This is what America suppose to be about, freedom of expression without fear or subject to suppression. If you do not agree to what is posted, do not resort to attacking with personal insults. Respond with constructive debate…..In this country and world, we all should be paranoid…..Peace.
This isn’t exactly new information. Bill Clinton and Pres. Obama have a touch and go relationship. They work together for the sake of the party. They got off to a bad start even before last election. Bill has his southern white man in him. But he will do what he supposed to do in the end. He and Obama do not bllend very well on a personal or maybe even racial level. Bill has always had his share of baggage about something.
This is old news, I wrote in this publication about Bill Clinton, remarks about Obama,, I stated the remark that he made that a few years ago, President Obama would have been serving us coffee. This is not news, maybe it to you, but if you read the comments you see that I told you this story before.
I agree with Bill Clinton, that President Obama, does not know how the world work. But he have a goo reason for not knowing, because black people have never had the opportunities to get involved in the world. We were always too busy trying to out do each other, who can buy a bigger house, or rent a bigger Mercades Benz. So we do not make time to know what is going on in the world. We are too busy telling Ms. Douglas about her nappi hair. Yes Obama, is lacking in experience, but he had all the so called Jewish handleers around him guiding, so how could he go wrong?. He have Hillary Clinton, running around the world killing other leaders, so he could take the blame. He have Bill Clinton, running around Africa, seeing who have the MINERAL RESOURCES, and other natural resources, so when the new world order come into play. America will know which leaders to take out, so they can control the resources. Remember I told you to read the Berlin Conference of 1884-85, when Africa was devided up. There was not one black person at the conference, what says sitting at the table. From SLAVERY to COLONIZATION, to JIM CROWE.Now the play is for the remainder of the natural resources, because the dollare aint worht anything anymore.
And when the new world order takes effect, dont be surprised when African start dying for their resources. MARK MY WORDS. And dont say you never been told. It is in black and whit all you have to do is read.
Smikle, I thought “The New World Order” started under President George H. W. Bush…? In any case, I like your phrase; “Slavery to Colonialization to Jim Crow”. That was deep..!!!
This is OLD news. I am far more concerned with the issues of this day, voter suppression and the Ryan budget not to mention other items. Enough already.
President Clinton has to realize that he is in Rome. And Rome is the Obama Presidency so he has to do as the Roman say. He has to work for the party for the good of the party. That’s politics.
Hello to those of you who say that Bill Clinton’s remarks should be forgiven, and to let bygones be bygones.
I have learned that one cannot move forward effectively and intelligently, if one dose not know/remember the pass. My feeling is and always has been that Bill Clinton is a snake in the grass, pretending to be fair minded.
When this story came out back in 2008, I laughed. It’s just what my momma always said, “White people will always find a way to let you know that they are white…and you aren’t” so when I hear things like this…I am never shocked because my mother prepared me for moments just like this. I will say this, whether he would have been carrying your bags or not, you and your wife are working for him and there is nothing else to be said!
This is to Toni…..Re your comment to Watkins.. I could not have said it better. I’m sick of these handkerchief head negros and their
subliminal attacks on the President At less we don’t hear anymore from West and Smiley
To bring this up at this time is stupid. It makes me think that deep down inside Dr. Watkins still hates or envies our President. GET OFF IT AND GET REAL!
As others have pointed out this story has been covered. The problem IMO is that most black leaders and media choose to turn a other cheek and give this liberal racist the benefit of the doubt. I’m no fan of Bill Clinton. The lack of criticism of his racist remarks shows how black people are all too willing to give white liberals a free pass when it comes to racism.
The more I read these blogs the more evident the realization that we are caught up in a ball of confusion. We are all over the place and don’t have enough self respect to address each other in a civilized manner. We are not that far from the slave plantation and our mentality reflects this fact. We are in harms way and only realism, love and cohesion can get across the red sea. By now we should be seeing things the way they are instead of living in a world of illusions. We owe it to ourselves to grow ourselves up past pettiness and self hatred because the whole world is watching.
People, ask yourselves why this is coming out now, when this was reported on and discussed four years ago. Boyce, is an republican stooge, who hates Obama. Syracuse university, should be ashamed that they hired such an complete a*s, and I will be writing a letter to them asking for his termination. Why would any parent, send their child to a university, that employs such an idiot. Boyce, is not even qualified to clean the toilets of a public restroom, yet alone teach any students. And, his associate Maria Lloyd, is one of the dumbest b*****s, that ever called herself a journalist, and has zero integrity.
This has old and new information. He stated the old racist remark Clinton made about Obama. (For which a black guy spat on him in South Carolina if I remember correctly.) But he also stated that he said a very similar remark again in 2010. So he repeated it over again. He still has not gotten over losing to Barack Obama. He is acting like a typical white boy….agaiin. He will do what has to be done for the party. But he has a problem with a black man on his level like a typical white boy.
Moonhead, you are not the only one that senses something strange going on regarding Dr. Watkins constant insinuations about our President.
Stop reporting old news to start mess. Whether they like each other or not, all politicians come together for the sake of the parry come election time. Politicians make strange bedfellows.
Dr Watkins, are you a crab? You and your staff seem to write the most petty and biased articles against the President sometimes it is amazing.As a journalist ( if that’s what you are ) shouldn’t you be UNBIASED ?
For all those who have a bone to pick with Dr. Watkins and his philosophical view of the world,or his opinion of President Obamas strategy or lack of a strategy-one should create their own forum and conduct it in the manner in which they are comfortable with.
However, also be honest and recognize that the Dr.did provide us a venue to have an open discussion to exchange our opinions,and truths.
I for one thank you Doc for all of which you have done for us as far as enabling each and everyone of us to have our say.
NOW- LETS AS ONE—-
BOYCOTT Christmas 2012

I thought that President Obama was going to pick Hillary as his VP and make Biden secretary of state…???? I was wrong.
In 2008, the Clintons were in a heated and ugly competition with Sen. Barack Obama for the Presidental seat. During that time a lot of things were said and done that were disgusting. But isn’t that the way most national competitions are? –
I didn’t give former President Clintion a pass back then nor am I going deny his right to stand up for his Democratic beliefs today! He loves this Country and wants what is best for the country and that is President Barack Obama. We all need to stand tall and be clear on who the enemy is and it is not President Bill Clinton. Let the Past stay in the Past! We all need to move Forward into the future! President Obama can not Win this election without all of our Support! Yes, that includes the Clintons!
The Republicans want all of you to keep harping on what happened in 2008 because maybe, you’ll vote for Romney and Paul Ryan or maybe you won’t vote at all!
Former Pres. Bill Clinton is a great advocate for President Obama. So let’s all move FORWARD and leave the past in the past!
I have two questions. Is it possible for Bill Clinton to hate, dispise, and have an inbred urge to denigrate and make insulting stereotypical statements to others about Black Americans as a group and as individuals — and — still act otherwise to get their vote? Yes it is, because of what the two things he said about President Obama. Does that make him bad for Black business? No. For God’s sake — the guy was born and raised in Arkansas but it fell on deaf ears because he said it to (of ALL people) Teddy Kennedy (RIP) a champion of civil and equal rights. God is good to his Chosen (~_o). People, this is NOT about Dr. Boyce. He is the messenger NOT the message. Nevertheless, Slick Willie Ku Klux Klinton is a POLITICIAN, thus, a member of a class which was heretofore made up mostly of egotistical, low-life leaning individuals who are h**l bent on telling people what they want to hear in order to get them to buy into their rhetoric and nonsense. America is great ONLY because of it’s good and decent average everyday hard working citizens, consumers, fathers, mothers, engineers, accountants, sales people, soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen. Everything else is either fluff riding the wave or at best struggling every day as a work in progress. Now that’s the truth.
I don’t think that Clinton was a bad president. Real talk, how many black folks have uttered negative comments about each other? I first heard about Obama, I knew he would win because he’s the perfect, “non-threatening,” type of Negro that America has always been comfortable with. That Bill would utter such words against Obama doesn’t fly in the face of who or what I thought he was, it falls right in line with what I would expect. Does it mean he doesn’t like black people? I don’t think so, it really just means he’ll say what’s in heart about whoever, much the same as well all do. That is a perfect n***a trait and Bill showed it.
*scoff* Obama ain’t our first black president. *dries blunt with lighter* You cats got it ALL twisted. Y’all n****s better do y’all research.
