President Obama and former President Bill Clinton have always been pretty chummy and it looks like while POTUS was going up against his presidential rival Mitt Romney, Clinton was actually quite aww-ed by Obama’s luck through the campaign.
According to the new book “Double Down” by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, Clinton would often tell his friends when speaking of Obama:
“He’s luckier than a dog with two dicks”
And as for Romney? Well Clinton thought the Republican just chose the wrong profession. He said of him:
“He really shouldn’t be speaking to people in public,”
LOL!
But it seems while Obama and Clinton are pals, POTUS just can’t take too much of Bill at once. A brief excerpt from the book reads:
When the two of them golfed together in September 2011, an effort aides hoped would bring them closer, they did not even finish 18 holes. Mr. Obama succinctly expressed his view of Mr. Clinton to an aide after coming off the course at Andrews Air Force Base. “Obama grimaced and replied, ‘I like him … in doses,’ ” the authors write.
Earlier in the year, “Clinton held Obama captive in the presidential limo” outside a fund-raiser at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, the authors write, grabbing Mr. Obama’s hand as he reached for the door. Instead of having a one-on-one meal together that night, as was planned, Mr. Obama, unable to “handle any more undiluted Clinton,” invited aides from both of their staffs to join the dinner and talked to them about their children, rather than talking about politics with his predecessor.
Ha Ha… Don’t we all have a friend like Clinton?!
