Obama brings in Bill Clinton. Awkward? (video)

Yesterday, when President Obama introduced President Clinton to speak about his support for the President's framework agreement to extend tax cuts and unemployment benefits, didn't it seem a little awkward? Maybe it's just me, but I felt like I was back in the mid 90's and Bill Clinton was still the president.

To begin with, President Obama said "I'm bringing the other guy in." He then introduced President Clinton and said he had to go to a Christmas party. Next, President Clinton took the stage stating "first of all I feel awkward being here and now your gonna leave me all by myself."

If this isn't strange in itself, the greatest exchange came about 10 minutes later when President Obama said "I can't keep the first lady waiting, I have to leave, see ya later."

I understand marriage and family, I do, but what about the American people? The former President of the Untied States Bill Clinton came to endorse President Obama's tax bill and he left! Would it not have been a smart move to stay for 15 more minutes and finish out the press conference as a sign of respect to the former President and the American people? It just makes no sense.

Finally, Bill Clinton took the stage and I don't know about you, but it felt like a flashback to the mid 90's to me. He stood up there and briefed the American people like he was still the President of the United States. It felt quite awkward to me I must say.

So, there you have it. The strange political atmosphere of the United States. Does anyone actually know what to do anymore? Is the government falling apart? Is this tax bill a horrible idea? The democrats and Republicans all seem to be upset with this particular piece of legislation and the American people don't have much faith left in the federal government. What will happen when the Republicans take office January 1st. Does it even matter?

The American people are becoming increasingly fed up with the federal government. We need an honest, truthful, positive, caring leadership in power. In fact, we demand it! Thanks for reading, if you enjoyed this article feel free to subscribe to the real news now.
