'A few years ago he would've been carrying our bags': New book reveals the insensitive racial remark Bill Clinton made about Barack Obama in 2008

• Ex-President said to have made remark in 2008 before later backing Obama

Bill Clinton made an insensitive racial remark about Barack Obama while his wife battled him for the Democratic nomination vote, it was claimed today.

The former U.S. president, whose wife Hillary battled Obama in the 2008 primary campaign, is said to have remarked of the current president: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.'

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.

Rift: Clinton, pictured in 2009 having given Obama his backing, is alleged to have made the racially insensitive remark about the current president in 2008.

Claim: Clinton is said to have made the remark to late Senator Ted Kennedy (right), who eventually backed Obama for Democratic Nomination

Writer Ryan Lizza said he heard about the comment from NBC newsman Tim Russert, who died in 2008.

Four years ago Clinton and Obama had clashed following Hillary Clinton's failed bid for Presidency, which she lost to Obama.

Although Clinton is said to have since given his backing to the current U.S. President, his remark is the latest in a series of apparent outbursts against Obama.

The ill-advised comment follows claims of another remark attributed to Clinton in 2010, where he is said to have commented: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.'

Mitt makes the call

Now that the convention is over and Mitt is supposed to be a practical joker. Mitt dials 1-800-Barry and says…

Hey Barry, we still have the National Debt Clock from our convention and I was wondering if you good put it to good use. Think of the dramatic impact it'll have at the DNC when it strikes $16 Trillion!

 I'll ship it to you for free…

There is some muffled chatter at the other end of the line and then Mitt says with a smile…

I thought Clint told you I can do that to myself.

Talk About Getting Energized!

Just finished watching the RNC convention. I record it so I can breeze through the commercials. This was the most notable convention I have ever seen. What a contrast from McCain. But in defense of McCain I will defer to the words of the one I highly regard, Charles Krauthammer, who so aptly put it..."The MSM was so deep in the tank for Obama they needed snorkels."  

One need only witness this convention and the way Romney conducts a campaign to know how he will run the country. True to fashion Barry's campaign is already spending more then its taking in. Anyone surprised?

All the speakers were good. But Mrs Romney, Paul Ryan, Condoleezza Rice, Marco Rubio, (I apologize if I left out anyone) stand out in my my mind. Clint Eastwood talking to the "empty chair" and the implied symbolism was nothing short of genius.

I must admit there were times during this convention I had my  "John Boehner" moments. I don't know if it's because I'm a sucker or my immense pride of being an American. Probably a little of both. There was also plenty of laughter and wild fist pumping as I jumped out of my chair.

In view of all the great speeches delivered during this convention I starting courting doubts and concern about Mitt's coming speech. In my mind I was thinking...from 1 to 10 if Mitt can deliver at least a 7 I'll take it... My low expectations were soon blown away. Mitt Romney came onto his own last night and gave the speech of his life. Was Ronald Reagan's hand on Mitt's shoulder last night when he gave that speech? I don't know. But I can tell you this. Last night was a pivotal moment in American history. Can ANYONE NOW honestly think Mitt Romney is not eminently more  qualified to be president of the United States then one Barack Hussein Obama?

Barry did live up to one promise. He fundamentally changed America. On Inauguration Day January 2013 Mitt Romney is going to change it back.

GOD BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY

Ryan-Biden Debate

It's almost unfair.

Like over a juicy steak just thinking about it makes my jaw start to salivate.  The only way Ryan could lose is if he didn't show up and Biden spoke on stage by himself. 

Wait a minute... the more I think about that..

Ann Romney for president

Just kidding... but Mitt has his work cut out for him.

For starters she looked absolutely stunning! How many women who have been diagnosed with MS and breast cancer look this good? That said, when I heard Christie was going to speak I thought he would be the preeminent speaker at the RNC. Well, move over Chris. Mrs Romney hit it out of the park.

I personally have never witnessed another prospective first lady whether Republican or Democrat give such an electrifying speech.
