Back in this morning there's new questions about President Obama as.

Top supporter of Bill Clinton they were campaigning together in raising money you're -- together today.

After the prominent Democrat praised governor Romney's business record set it was sterling.

Conservative -- -- Charles Krauthammer says he believes that Clinton is working as quote a double agent period.

Well I think he really is now bone China sharper and there's a lot of crime Korea that's.

Being destroyed it's very clear when he said missing about -- sterling business record.

That was extremely undermining because of course he contradicted the whole.

Rollout strategy of the Obama campaign which was to portray Romney as a vulture capitalist.

Bill Clinton also said that extending all the bush tax cuts until next year would be quote.

The best thing to do and that timing is at odds with what the president has -- joined now by -- -- -- -- Down -- to the -- radio Sean Tucker Carlson.

The editor of the daily caller and a Fox News contributor welcome John and I get to see this morning economic circular one -- Bill Clinton's up -- Well he hates Barack Obama obviously this is how you behave towards someone you despise Clinton is of course a master -- passive aggression so it's not.

Fully out in the open but it's clear that resentments persist -- 2008 when the Obama people you remember called Clinton a racist.

I'm Clint has also spent the last twelve years hanging around people from the private equity world from the hedge fund world from the financial services business -- -- made.

Hundreds of millions from Nana she gonna side with them -- the guy who beat his wife.

Of course she's siding with them and by the way I am convinced.

That I going to prove it I doubt Bill Clinton is gonna vote.

For Barack Obama not in front isn't -- I'm dead serious and -- in Europe and Obama is now laughing as I'm.

I don't you.

I'm this is dividing -- that the conservatives love to play Bill Clinton did say he favors we're reversing the bush tax breaks for the upper 1% as -- Obama has always said.

The call somebody -- sterling businessman what's wrong with that -- a lot Mitt Romney was a good businessman that that the issue is whether or not that makes him.

I -- may not to be president that he was not a job creator noticed putting down.

Mitt Romney's success that -- nobody is putting down the issue of venture capital the issue is which seem to be lost on the right wing is that this is not.

A qualification to be president let's look at the -- -- gets -- Mitt Romney has -- if they were all calling him a liar not fit to be president the worst governor in the country.

Not a job -- now.

-- -- but if I may you know we talk about you know all the issues all the time I feel like this discussion is sort of you know armchair psychologist has everybody wants to get into the head of Bill -- made out what went on on.

You know he did did he really won his wife to run against -- now has a -- as has been stated is he disappointed -- -- feel like he blew it the first time around and made mistakes in his wife's campaign I what is you know big into the heart of it from what you know I'm not really about I'm not -- -- -- may -- issuing the -- just you know we're just talking like I.

I know I understand I I believe that Bill Clinton also he also said there will be calamitous for Mitt Romney to be president so we're ignoring that.

I don't know what locally -- Clinton's feelings are I can't get into -- that I don't speak for him but if you actually look at the things he said.

Did Mitt Romney it would be calamitous and that he does support the bush tax cuts.

The reversal of the cuts for the very rich.

I don't see that got divide here that the media and conservatives seem to be dining on.

Unless Clinton agrees with nor has he says he's aghast at the situation at the suggestion that he would be hurting.

This campaign -- he's not he also but then the next thing he said Tucker is I am not an employee of the campaign.

Anyway I'm -- very complementary action that to President Obama -- at that.

And now we're back to the passive aggression here's what's beyond dispute here's what is not armchair.

Psychoanalysis.

There is a -- fairly large group of Clinton loyalists high level Democratic Party long -- Democratic Party people.

Here in Washington who truly.

Just like the Obama people that dislike the president they dislike administration disapprove of how it's unfolded over the past four years -- your specific decisions.

They don't like Obama and again this is not one right -- opinion this is the fruit of reporting that I personally -- -- this is a fact.

And anybody who's from -- with democratic politics will confirm that that is true my test it was an honest I have reflected -- and not -- -- don't say I think go to that very close to Bill Clinton anybody who's very close on a personal level to Bill Clinton.

Given three Beers and -- what do you think of President Obama and you'll get us an answer will surprise you -- Without -- -- -- journal I asked I think a lot of this is pious baloney the corner it's not a whole lot AME it was a brutal and Elizabeth people who came out.

Who are now supporting Romney who work.

Destroying him during the break you know his surrogates have to pay them they can't stand -- literally gathered -- -- -- find Obama more.

I mean look it doesn't make what I said let's strip I think you're an armchair psychologist I'm not no I'm not you know what that's a good point president -- -- people are running supporters -- is set things like well you know if he is the one -- is still standing I would support him.

Very tepid sort of backhanded compliments a company and -- -- as well so I'll leave it there but that's fun and an attacker thanks in part that it is evil and -- -- we think.
