I,m sure bill clinton is having a wet dream.
Priceless! Although, I found it hard to follow the speech too. What was the point of the speech? What is blacks want from politicians these days?
I don’t know what has become a bigger joke. Race baiting pimps claiming MLK’s legacy on a day that is supposed to honor the man, or a serial philandering husband (probably a rapist) that many think of as a “great” former President.
By the way, Mr. Clinton is known as the first black president, so we shouldn’t be surprised at his laziness.
No one buys in to this idiotic babble from these phony “ministers” all trying to sound like Jesse Jackson and all with their hand in the till. Let’s stop pretending they matter.
Give ‘em a break he was probably up late last night with one of his mistresses.
BUST-ED! An’ yew know whut ah mean, cack-cack-cack!
i liked the part where he looked down @ his watch towards the end of the clip
hoorah!
Haha! The best part is when his head slips off his hand while sleeping and he tries to cover by nodding in agreement with what the speaker was saying. Mrs. Bill Clinton is not going to be happy.
Dont’ Hate!! Hes just being real!
This is the final insult. What a horrible man he is. I am a Democrat who will no vote for Obama.
I have no respect for Bill or Hillary Clinton and pray that she does not get elected BUT…. I feel sorry for the guy. One can only imagine the grueling pace of the campaign trail. I have been caught in events where I could not keep my eyes open no matter how hard I tried! You know what follows…. drooling, head nodding, the occasional opening of the eyes accompanied by a knowing nod to show everyone you are listening….. Poor guy. At least I didn’t have national news cameras exposing my weariness to the world (as if anybody would care about my weariness anyway!). LOL.
Interestingly enough, that was MLK III speaking (yes, Martin Luther King Jr’s son) and not some black minister trying to sound like Jessie Jackson. I’m no JJ advocate, but this guy was actually related to MLK… Oh, and Bill Clinton sucks! ;)
LOL – Here’s the spin, Willy wasn’t nodding off he was just praying for the country and MLK. Lets see if that piece of crap Olbermann runs the clip on his useless news program with a degrading comment to follow. If it was a Rep/Conservative you could bet he would the phony hypocrite. And to think the Black population thinks so much of Bill and Hill what a bunch of robots.
This is nothing new – BOTH he & Shrillary dozed off at Reagans funeral.

Now if HE was the center of attention – you can bet he’s be all bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Oh and remember Bill Clinton’s infamous line “The era of Big Government is over”
Well she has other ideas
For Clinton, Government as Economic Prod
Do we want 8 more years of this guy in the headlines? Elect Hillary and that’s what you’ll get. Come on America. I mean, really, come on.
This is greatness…exposing Bill as the fraud he is. He is definitely a liability for Hillary. She will not be happy…
Can’t wait to read their spin on this being taken out of context.
“Bill was praying.”
“Bill was taking a moment to honor MLK.”
How do you see the Clitons spinning it?
Who among us has not ever fallen asleep during long, long speeches, lectures, symphonies, movies?
Remember to, the guy is 60+ and a quadruple bypass heart patient on a break-neck campaign trail.
As much as I despise Dick Cheney, I still don’t begrudge the old guy from nodding off by mistake.
Seeing Slick in church would make Jaunita Broaddick, Elizzabeth Ward Grayson,(our Miss America, Ellen Welstone, Kathleen Wlliey, Paula, and Monica, laugh, or cry. His biting technique, I guess won them over.
Why is it that all of these black ministers try their hardest to make it damn near impossible to understand them. Just talk like normal folks, more people might take you seriously if you didn’t sound like the crooks Jackson and Sharpton. And as far as Ol Billy Boy there, this goes to show how little respect they actually have for black people, all they really care about is tricking them into voting for them, and once they do so will do nothing to bring them out of poverty, because if they did the Clintons would be out of a job, no one would buy into their crap.
If there was ever a question of Bill Clinton’s sincerity in front of the public this answers it. He wakes up, he nods. He wakes up, he nods again. He wakes up; he squints as though he’s really contemplating the complexity of the speech. “Let freedom ring…†and let America realize that the Clinton’s are phony and should have no business being in public office.
BILL: “I’m having a DREEEEAAAAM my brothers and sisters!”
Much respect to you Bill, much respect.
My dream is that Rudy Guiliani will WAKE UP and get more than 5% of the vote in Florida.
Give old Bill a break…he was just doing an impromptu on the MLK Jr speech. You know…the one that goes “I have a dream!”
Jon in Ca,
You said:
“Bill (and Hillary) pander for the African American vote … yet they view Obama as “not readyâ€, “rolling the diceâ€, “a fairytaleâ€.”
Again, you offer us nonsensical assertions. I see no contradiction with pandering for the black vote while stating that Obama is “not ready” for the job. You seem to be suggesting that the mere fact that he is an African American (actually, he is half African) that no one should challenge him. What nonsense!
As for accusing me of being a Clinton supporter, nothing can be farther from the truth. I despise Hillary. She is a socialist. I’d love to witness the assassination of this socialist. That being said, your comments are illogical and unreasonable.
So many Bush dick lickers here. I need a shower.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF SUCH A BUNCH OF IDIOT AIRHEAD COMMENTS ON OUR FORMER PRESIDENT.
CLINTON WAS A GOOD PRESIDENT AND HE WOULD NOT HAVE THROWN OUR BILLIONS AWAY WITH A DUMB WAR THAT HAS KILLED OUR TROOPS.
I can assure ou that being up 24 hrs. a day with Hillary and w/o sleep with his repaired heart would have sent anyone into a melt down, just like the rest of You!
I will agree I could not understand what the Minister or son was speaking about?
Hillary still has my vote, who else knows the in’s and out’s of being a President………….A FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT…………..WE DON’T WANT A NEW PERSON WHO DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK HE’S DOING…………..
Just a guess but I think Bill has pretty much given up on the black vote…
Just a guess.
Nice. I especially liked the nod at ~45 seconds. It looked like he nodded off and then purposely nodded in “agreement” a couple times just incase anyone saw him. classic Clinton
MLK would be a conservative today had he lived.
And someone said it…if this were Bush napping it’d be an hour long report on MSNBC and CNN with snarky comments from that goon Olbermann and questions about Bush’s ability to grapple with minority issues from Blitzer.
As it is tho,all MEDIA is sitting on Bill and Hillary’s laps like good little puppies and they’ll be deaf dumb and blind for him like they were from ‘92-2000.
What a punk Clinton is.
I kept waiting for Bubba to spring up from this seat and start yelling: “Send ME in coach!”
What a worthless sack o’
Good to see Bill Jefferson (BJ) Clinton asleep at the speech. He pretty much slept his way through both offices, governorship of AK and the Presidency. I am sure the Bin Laden and gang realized this when they were busy setting up camps in Somalia (Blackhawk Down) and the bombing of our embassies in central Africa. Bill Jefferson was busy having all kinds of trim and wet dreams while Hillary was off on some far adventure taking care of the Children. He has to be exhausted spewing all kinds of vitriolic crap about Obama and his campaign details. Bill Jefferson, you are a putz and lower than all whale fecal matter.
[...] Oh No, Mr. Bill… Falls Asleep? [...]
I can’t stand loud black people, no wonder Billy got bored and dozed off.
Talking about race does nothing but continue racism, pure and simple. Blacks have been persecuted, for sure, but their persecution pales in comparison to many other ethnic groups, so get over it already. If I was a white senator, could I join the Black Caucus? Hmmmm…
I am not defending the former President, but to be honest, I nearly fell asleep watching it.
Ok. so if i am not mistaken was he endorsed by this congregation after a kodak moment like this. How rude of him to do this while MLK III was speaking. And then was given the statue of MLK Jr.
I am not a democrat supporter, but you people calling him names from this video are just waiting for the opportunity to do such. I voted for Bush, I supported Bush, doesn’t mean I’m going to bash Clinton every chance I get.
What a man, an American hero, he actually managed to not fall out of his chair, and I think he needs to be recognized for that.
The irony is that most ex-presidents have the common sense to get some sleep the night before, or just decline the offer to attend and stay home, read or write a book. This was Bill campaigning for Hillary and it went bad, very bad, but no one will care. He could have carried a cell phone on vibrate in his pocket, and ask a assistant to call him if he nodded off, he is getting up in years, it really is expected, someone should have made certain he was either awake or ensured he got some sleep the night before.
I don’t care about this ceremony (yawn) or MLK (sigh), black America will vote 93% for the democratic candidate anyway – we’ll just run some race baiting ads just before the election like we always do – wake me up when its over (snore).
Someone please give the former prez a pillow. Priceless, hilarious, pathetic.
I think the underlying question is, are the clintons just trying to get more of the black vote. I for one do not want more of the clinton-bush dynasty. Why is bill at this event in the first place, if he’s not exited to be there? Smells rotten
come on, he’s 61 year old. people in their 60s fall asleep every 20 minutes. give him a break.
[...] at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, the former president seemed to get a little sleepy.read more | digg [...]
it’s a fake people!!…come on!
Ha ha ha! Look at him even draped his right hand down when he woke up at one point. I thought he was going to straighten up a little, but NO! His right hand even dropped. Tough night, huh? After the $1530 dinner with lobster, scallop, salmon, steak, and sashimi,
http://presidentialwatch2008.blogspot.com/2008/01/clinton-dinner-tab-1530.html
I guess it’s really hard to stay awake.
Imagined conversation:
“BILL!!!!! Haven’t you got me in enough trouble already? What did you do today during the MLK service?” – SLAP!
“What’d I DUUUUU?” Recall the “Jib Jab moment”.
“You fell into sleep!”
“No I did not!”
“Yes you did! The video is all over the Internet now!”
“I did not fall into sleep!”
“Like you did not sleep with that woman?”
“Honey, like I said over and over again, I did not penetrate…”
“Oh My GOD!!!!! You said you didn’t inhale!!!!! You totally mixed up your lies now!!!!!”
“…..” ???
Don’t worry. Bill will think of something to say. Some fairy tale.
I can not wait for late night television! Leno is going to have a hayday with this one. I will be rolling on the floor laughing! You can fall asleep in the back row, but what was he thinking? No one would notice. I just don’t want to be laughing at him and Hilly for the next four years. Yikes!
I don’t think you should be so hard on the aspiring First Lady – Stand by your man, little lady.
Give the poor man a break. He has been “working hard” for America. And, there was one heck of a party last night.
That is hilarious. Come on, give the first black pres. a break. Yea, right.
Notice his checking his watch? What a buffoon!
Everyone should leave poor Bill alone. He has been working hard to politically attack the first viable African American Presidential candidate (Obama). Why would an MLK tribute be of interest to Bill Clinton?
Pretty much sums up what he really thinks of minorities. They’re stepping stones to power.
This is not a surprise to me. When the former “first black” president can’t stay awake for a MLK service, it just goes to show you how insincere and unprofessional he really is. But then again….we’re talking about the Clintons. They’ll manipulate any situation, person, or race solely for their benefit.
Jon in Ca,
He has every right to “politically attack” the supposed “first viable African American presidential candidate”. What does that have to do with MLK? Are you saying Obama deserves special treatment because of his race? Isn’t Obama standing in the way of the first viable female candidate? Does this mean Obama would not support NOW? What ridiculous webs liberals weave in the name of diversity.
Bill snoozes…..Hillary (will) LOSES
This is hilarious, but dead on PROOF that the mainstream media is biased. Just think if Bush had done this. All Cain would be breaking loose and it would be at the top of CNN’s website. That “speech” was a lot of words about absolutely nothing – more mouth than substance – but what else is new from the modern day MLK klan. I don’t blame Bill Clinton one bit for nodding off. That said, this video is just more proof of what a phony he and his wife are. “First Black President.” LMAO. Stupid liberals and democrats!
How come Hillary don’t like Billy. He’s cute even when he’s sleeping in church, on stage.
Clinton is a joke.
That is the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while, although im not voting for HC, the campaign trail is grueling and I dont blame him one bit for nodding off, after we are all human
Guess he’s no longer a “tireless” advocate.
I’m impressed he was awake as long as he was during all that rambling. The only thing dishonoring Dr. King are the long, grueling speeches/sermons.
You do know it’s I, not i, too, right?
That may explain your choice of candidates too. :D
Just like his response to minorities after he was elected to office.
I love how he stirs from slumber at one point and leans forward and cups his ear, as if to hear better. Ha! Volume was no issue. No way anyone could have a hard time hearing that preacher man.
i can t respond to this i fell asleep during the speech,
First: LOL. Second: So yet another Clinton “slight” or “insult” to the Black community.
Third: Leave him alone? Leave him alone! No, No, No. He is interjecting himself into this race like it’s his to lose. You play this game and you glory in victories, and you suffer in defeats. That is the price. That’s why many do not enter politics.
That’ll get his wife some votes in South Carolina.
Not.
John,
You asked the association with Bill Clinton, MLK, and his public attacks against Obama?
I wouldn’t expect a Clinton Supporter to connect the dots….
Bill Clinton (and Hillary) LOVE to recognize MLK’s work and heroic effort… up until the point it interfers with their lust for power. Bill (and Hillary) pander for the African American vote … yet they view Obama as “not ready”, “rolling the dice”, “a fairytale”. Hillary says LBJ had more to do with civil rights than MLK – until the African American community objects. THEN she wants to back-track and get back pandering for votes.
Both Bill and Hillary are shallow users seeking only the best interest of Bill and Hillary.
You can’t really fault poor slick willie, that fat so is a complete bore. I guess the race hustling biz is good these days look at the size of him.
I understand Bill was having a terrible nightmare in which he was having sex with his wife!
Maybe Bill Clingon isn’t gay afterall… He didn’t look the least bit interested in that man’s butt. I couldn’t believe it.
To nod off right behind MLK III in Atlanta during a speech on MLK day is a big giant slap to the ones he was pandering to believe me. Most Atlantans have had enough of this family but the black community still considers them sacred on this day. What a pig- he sure knows how to be sleepy when he wants to and yes- if it were Bush or any other major Republican they would be toast- as they should.What a pig- please people -try to remember why 8 years was enough of these carnies!!!
Ron Paul is the only candidate we need in the White House right now. We don’t need someone as lazy as Bill Clinton again.
The video was “cut”….
But I lasted 37 seconds…
Well its obvious Bill isnt doing coke anymore!
“I have a dream” MLK
” Yeah what ever ” Bill Clinton
“Ron Paul is the answer”
If the question is: who’s the biggest racist/anti-Semite loser with zero chance of winning the nomination? :D
Ron “cut and run” Paul supporters are deluded…
Peg: You fell for his race baiting, he’s not even black, he just wanted a racist like you to say what you did…
WHO REALLY CARES!! WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH BUT IT HAS “NOT” SET ANYONE FREE!! NOBODY EXCEPT BLACK FOLK CARE ABOUT MLK. IN FACT, THAT IS WHY IT IS STILL A DEEP DARK SECRET THAT MUCH OF WHAT MLK SAID AND PREACHED ACTUALLY CAME FROM A GREAT INDIAN WE MAY HONOR SOME DAY: “GHANDI”
I really hate the clintons, but you gotta give ol’ Slick Willie a break on this one. Who among you wouldn’t have fallen asleep while listening to this incomprehensible drivel?
some claim Bush Sr. lost the election by looking at his watch during his debate with Clinton. I suppose it would be poetic justice if HRC loses the election in part because of Bill checking his watch in this clip!
Not a Bill Clinton fan at all, but my goodness, this guy cannot catch a break right now at all. It is obvious trying to get Hillary elected is exhausting.
Apparently, he was counting Branch Davidians in his head.
84, …, 85, …, 86, …
It’s amazing to me to see all the enablers who will still make one excuse after another for President Clinton.
The double standard never ends. Anything the Clintons do is A-OK for the Clintonites. Anything.
If Bush had fallen asleep there would be hell to pay on every channel.
[...] read more | digg story Posted in United States News. [...]
“Much respect to you Bill, much respect.”
“Apparently, he was counting Branch Davidians in his head.”
Poor Rover, still wishing he was me instead of himself so much he’s still pretending to be me…
I personally believe that Bill Clinton ranks among the most corrupt presidents in modern history…that being said, he IS human! For Pete’s sake, he’s probably getting very little sleep, and didnt he have some heart problems just recently? Give the guy a break. Even if he was at the speech of the century the guy has been running ragged supporting his third ter……I mean, his wife’s candidacy.
Id love to have a beer with the guy but I want him and his wife far from the White House. But give the guy a break. He is a human being and falling asleep during a speech should not be used against him.
With all of the racist questioning of the Clintons, this is the last thing on Earth that Bill needed to do LOL! I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clinton Campaign tries to say that he took some drousy medicine before the sermon for a cold he’s had. PALEEEEEEASE!
As for the idiot talking about how Clinton wouldn’t of gone to war. We might not be in this war had it not been for his complete incompetence of foreign policy during his administration.
Wow – Bill Clinton really cares about Black people. Any fool who still supports this LAZY WHITE BOY is crazy. He HATES Black people but sure LOVES to use them – especially the ones who bow down to MASSA’S feet. Remember He & Hillary want Y’all to look up to the great White plantation house & be thankful fo such a good owna. Now be good little boys & girls & vote fo yo MASTER. Lawdy Lawd.
[...] Check It Out! [...]
AHHHHHHH. Sorry just day dreaming of which enterns i’ll be entertaing soon.Show respect Mr X President. IF you are gonna talk the talk then walk the walk.
great, 72 comments coming from the drudge..
It was funny to see him nod off and then wake up and nod his head in agreement with the preacher, as if he heard the point and was paying attention.
MLK said “Judge a man by his character”
I would have fallen asleep too. His speech is so soothing.
He might be looking down at a lady wearing a skirt in the front row trying to look up it. You would think the Dem’s would be sick of the Clinton’s, and would want new blood. Same with the Repul.’s w/ Bush’s. We need new blood, and not the same old crap w/Clinton’s. Clinton’s can’t even respect a place like a church, if not the White House. When will this country learn??? Hopefully the Lady looks better then the Pior First Lady screaming/Yelling when she talks.
Love how he wakes up and then cups his ear like he’s listening intently, lol. Reminds me of when he was busted laughing at Ron Browns funeral, saw the cameras, then turned on the tears.
If you really want 2 laugh, theres a vid on youtube where Hillary gets MOONED at a rally by a guy in a blue dress ala Monica. It’s HILLARY-IOUS .Just youtube: “BAD MOON RISING: HILLARY”
While not a fan I can sympathize.. That looks excruciatingly boring.
On the politics side–is that the “Best We Can Do”–Bush, Clinton, another Bush, another Clinton? Aren’t there any better candidates already?! Give me a real freaking choice.
E-gads.
This is *classic* Bill Clinton. Ought to be submitted to his library in Little Rock. Sad thing is, there are still a bunch of Clinton Apologists on here that even if slick willy was filmed ax chopping a black womans head off, they would still claim he did it for a good reason.
Bill Clinton hates black people.
You know what? I don’t like Bill or Hillary one bit. However, this has nothing to do with politics or personal character. Everyone has nodded off during speeches, lectures from a boring professor or watching TV. Yes, MLK Day is important but people don’t stop being people one day of the year. That said, I find it quite humorous and instead of hatred I feel sorry for him. I’ve been in that situation before and hated every second of the boring speech I was listening to. At least we know he’s human and not some robot. We always expect our President to be more than we are outselves. That’s just plain dumb and selfish on our part. It’s like when Bush bumbles some speech or trips over something. We all shout, look what a dumba** like we’ve never done any of that ourselves. Get a clue people.
“I can assure you that being up 24 hrs. a day with Hillary and w/o sleep with his repaired heart would have sent anyone into a melt down, just like the rest of You!”
Only a sap would feel one bit sorry for this camera ho. He probably just agreed to go to this thing to get away from Hillary! And BTW, Hillary has N.F. clue what to do as president. She is not a leader: she’s a politician. I could be a better president than she.
Hey, MLK the third, WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU TALKIN’ ABOUT?
I’m sure most of you don’t care, your positions are ideological, but that’s not boredom you see there. It is exhaustion. He’s obviously trying to keep himself awake, especially when he goes into the rapid eye blinking which is sure sign that he is trying – and failing – to force himself awake.
I’m no Clinton fan but he has probably been getting 2 hours of sleep a night while campaigning for Hillary.
I’ll give him this one.
So symbolic.
Pretends to care about blacks but once he gets what he needs shooed to the side.
Pretends to care about blacks by being there. Once he got that he shooed them to the side by disrespecting the whole event by sleeping.
I wonder if he can recover from this like he did at that funeral?
Yes, the wake up and nod method was the best one. I have to remember that technique!
Now idiot boy Billy Bob Clinton showed his “respect” at a MLK event by falling asleep right next to the speaker ON THE STAGE IN FULL VIEW OF ALL ATTENDING, and glanced at his watch several times just to rub it in. Hey stupid, just don’t show up if you don’t want to look like an abosolute A$$! NICE WAY TO SHOW RESPECT, YOU #### IDIOT.
If Hillary wants to be president she needs to ban Bill from the campaign immediately and permanently before he drives away even more support than he has in the last 2 weeks with his borderline racism.
I’m not a Clinton fan, but thank God I have never had a camera record me falling asleep at my church. lol My wife would have killed me. I watched it again- It reminded me of all the times I fought falling asleep lol.
Bill has burned any respect he might have once had as a former-President, by jumping into the mud of the campaign, endorsing one candidate, and attacking another.
I defended Bill strenuously when he was misleading the world about having a sexual affair with a 21-yo intern.
Now he can just fall asleep like the old washed up, triple-bipass fart he is, and shut up.
Let’s all give Bill a break, he was probably celebrating MKL Day with a young African-American woman the night before.
Bill Clinton: First Black President (all-white)
Barack Hussein Osama: Second (cold day in Hell) Black President (half-black, half-white)
This is the f**king Left-wing Liberal Political Correct topsy-turvy world we live in.
I’m still betting that Hillary will be the First Women President.
I cannot for the life of me understand why certain groups (those “Hardest Hit” by everything that happens) cannot see how devaluing and phony the Clintons are. Here we have a truer picture of their actual interest in you.

i fell asleep while watching this video
Pot makes you sleepy.
You wackos on here bashing Bill Clinton must prefer really prefer the freak show we have had running the country the last 7 years, eh? Bill Clinton left us with the greatest economy the world has ever seen and America was beloved around the world – so much so that when we got hit on 9/11 even the IRANIAN people expressed their sympathy with a public outpouring. Your wacko has squandered it all! All our money, all our good will and America’s blood!
Suck on that, whack-jobs!
President Bush is STILL better than slick willy and he always will be…despite your homosexual fantasies…
S. ALVARADO I guess you are doing a Monica fill in for Bill! You go GIRL! (and while your at it) learn to WRITE & speak English properly! Those Spanish to English dictionaries will only help with the nouns. We all KNOW you are for any CLINTON that gives handouts from the US Taxpayer.
Co Jones, I never knew Bill was governor of Alaska. AR is the abbreviation for Arkansas, just in case that’s what you were getting at. AK is…well….alot colder.
I cannot believe some idiots, (primarily John)still find humor in pointless racist comments. Grow up already. You get online and grow balls, but wouldn’t open your stupid mouth if confronted.
Regarding Bill, yeah, pretty disrespectful, but I can appreciate him being tired. BUT, dude, you’re behind the speaker. WTF??
If you’re going to correct people you should also know that “alot” isn’t a word? :D
So funny…
Clinton’s budget was balanced only because of the Republicans that controlled Congress and forced it down his fat neck after shutting down the government in 95 as part of the Contract With America.
Have you been to a black church on MLK day? It is as LONG as I don’t know what. Anybody, including black folks, nodd off and fall to sleep. Give me a break. He probably fell asleep because the speakers were boring. It happens.
Cheney has done it. Everyone has done it. Timeliness is a virtue and people need to minimize these speakers and keep people’s interest.
He’s dreaming about all the black women he has slept with
SoCal, it’s so funny you should say that, because I was actually thinking about that as i typed it. But then i said “what the hey, most people wouldn’t be smart enough to catch it anyway”. Guess i was wrong.
;)
Does every speech have to be entertaining these days? My God, what are we teaching our children.
And for all of you who lump “blacks” together in 2008, give me a break! Oprah backs Obama, I am a black female who is a registered republican…Jackson and Sharpton are of the southern baptist tradition. I guess there are no white southern ministers to speak of, to hear you tell it!

I will agree I could not understand what the Minister or son was speaking about?
Hillary still has my vote, who else knows the in’s and out’s of being a President………….A FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT…………..WE DON’T WANT A NEW PERSON WHO DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK HE’S DOING…………..[/quote]
We are fighting the war that became a necessity, because Clinton failed to do anything about the islamic terrorists when he had the chance handed to him.
His heart has been repaired, it works better than when he was lieing about having sex with Monica. HE is not on the campaign trail, his ex-girlfriends boyfriends wife is.
It doesn’t matter what the speech was about, although an easy conclusion would be honoring MLK….remember him? The guy Bill and Hillary marched and became black with?…given by MLK very own son. He’s a former President, and MUST conduct himself with dignity. Though, as he never has before, I can presume he would have a tough time doing so.
As for Hillary knowing how to run a country? She cannot run her own marriage very well.
Go Fred!
I do not know why everyone is concentrating on the fact that the speech was boring and poorly delivered. The fact of the matter is that this man was invited to a tribute for one of ourgreatest revolutionaries and was honored enough to sit in the pulpit of that church and showed blantant disrespect. Who cares is if MLK III is not a great speaker, just because he was the son of the great Martin Luther King does not guarantee that he would have the charisma.
I know this is getting a bit long winded but, I have one more point. As far as everyone trying to downgrade the accomplishments of MLK, I would like to say he achieved a feat that many presidents haven’t. This man dedicated his life and ultimately his life is what he had to pay for the freedom of black people. A people who for so many years were considered to be no more than property and who the consitution did not equate as a whole man.
And to not forget to all of the ignorant people out there who only believe that white is right. Black. The delivery style of a lot of black ministers is called hooping. Not broken English not ebonic(if such a thing exist.) Hooping is a part of the African culture. Slaves were able to conserve this small piece of many forgotten traditions. In laymens terms it is sing song delivery of the sermon.
WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF WHO WE ARE. WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF THE WAY WE TALK,DRESS AND WALK. WE ARE AFRICAN AND WE ARE BEAUTIFUL. WE KEEP HEARING GO BACK TO AFRICA, WHO SAID WE WANTED TO COME HERE OR FOR THAT MATTER BE HERE ANYWAY!
Okay now just focus your attention on the speaker. This guy seems like he wrote a hurried essay on the meaning of MLK day and is now making a speech with added meaningless words. Who wouldn’t fall asleep at such uninspiring, dull speech?
I’m sure if it was an enlightening, powerful speech (such as that of MLK himself) Bill would summon up enough energy from his SUPER busy life and listen.
A summary of this comment thread:

6. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AWAKEN BY A BURNING CROSS IN YOUR YARD, BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO START YOUR OWN BLACK BUSINESS???

BUT, I SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF YOU HERE, DO NOT CARE FOR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. YOU,, WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD FOR SOME OF THESE COMMENTS.
CLINTON,,, WAS DEAD WRONG. HE SHOULD HAVE EXCUSED HIMSELF.

Ron “the anti-Semite” Paul doesn’t even get enough support to be mentioned because he’s a loser like his “cut and run” supporters. He’s the answer to “who’s the biggest joke running?” :D
I really don’t blame him. With a lifestyle like that he probably hardly gets that much sleep. How many of you have fell asleep at church or in school?
Sometimes those ministers go off on a very boring tangent,I can definitely relate…no disrespect taken.
I don’t blame him either. That speaker was putting me to sleep.
To John: You Racist Basterd!!!! For your information black people are not lazy. Let me remind you that the foundation of this country was built on the BACKS, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS of African Americans!!!! Dumb Ass!!!
LETS NOT FOR GET OUR PAST HISTORY AS AMERICANS!!!!!!
I find it appauling that NO ONE commented on the REAL message behing the madness and the legitimate message of what the MLK Legacy is ALL about! Sure Clinton fell asleep but dont be so quick to over-analyze and sensationalize Clintons snoozing as a form of disrespect. He is simply and elder gentleman who is sleep deprived!I would eloborate but ….. The Truth said it ALL below: U Go Gurl!!!! Those of us wo wish to speak to the REA issue please chime in ALL comments are welcome : )

What matters is that a former leader of the free world showed-up to honor King. Crossing the racial divide, again, to do so. Class, and the value of unity, should’ve made that the storyline focus; especially on Martin Luther King’s holiday, and at a time of war. But as it was with King, evil and hate assasinates the good in a man; and then there are those who will drag out the corpse and use it as a public springboard for racism and division.
THIS IS NOT NEWS.
I have seen Bill dozens of times falling asleep during speeches, funerals, and the like. Not only have I seen this from bill, but yes from McCain as well. All politicians, especially the olderones, have done this from time to time.
I am Black and donot take offensive. Its obvious to me that he is trying his best to stay awake and given what his schedule must be like lately, quite frankly its understandable..although somewhat emabarrassing.
I am more offended by the comments posted here then whats on the video. Perhaps many of you have trouble understanding Black ministers just as you conveniently misunderstand or choose to ignore the plight all minorities.
Its easier to sit up on yur high horse and criticize the way someone speaks, prays, dress, act, etc..then it is for you to get to the root of your own prejudice.
BTW, I’m not a Bill Clinton fan, didnt vote for him and won’t be voting for Hillary either. SO take that all you that say Black blindly follow the Clintons.
I guess Rev DR. Martin Luther King Cerimony
wasn’t as interesting as
Monica Luwinski.. ( Spelled it wrong i am sure)
These comments are hilarious, but all kidding aside. The Clintons claim to be all knowing and prepared for what the duties of President are.
Don’t tell me they haven’t figured out what a shot of caffeine will do. I don’t care if the speach was boring or not, the guy was in front row and had a bad case of narcolepsy. It’s rude to fall asleep when you’re a guest at such an event.
I pray every event that he’s at adds about an hour of material so we can more videos like this. SNL, Leno and all can’t make stuff this funny.
Thanks for the laugh. I’d have to be asleep to vote for that bunch of comedians.

I’m not even a Democrat but come on people – he’s human. Haven’t you ever nodded off like that in an important speech or meeting?
I would have fell asleep too! I know how he feels. He was probally up all night. I don’t blame him. It sounded BORING!! zzzzzzzzz
I am the most color blind person you will find. We are all brothers and sisters in this world.
That being said, look at Bill’s eyes. He was tired. The material was a bit slow and pointless IMHO. So, no shame in nodding off.
-chron
Yall are some of the most racest wite people ever. How yall gone gone try and down talk talk black peolpe when most of us are smarter than yall. Don’t disrespect my damn culture when at theis point having a dame white president aint making the world a better place, so before yall try an down talk get ya facts straght.
What’s the big deal? I practically fell asleep from this boring speech in the minute-long clip alone! And that’s without sleep deprivation from campaigning or political all-nighters. Cut the guy some slack.
Oh come on, give him a break. None of you have ever nodded off in church? It happens!
Don’t knock Bill. His 10 times as kick ass as any of you ever will be…
:-)
Hey S Alvarado, No, Bill Clinton just spent billions on a worthless war in Serbia that led to a massive refugee problem and yes,deaths.Get over your president worship.
Bill Clinton left us with a great economy? HA. Bush had to deal with his recession and then the hit from 911. When libtards talk about all the good things clinton did, they point to the years that the Republicans controlled congress.
I like how he nods as if he’s agreeing with what’s being said when he occasionally wakes up.
Going to this stuff is part of public life and he should stay away no matter how inane the speech is.
Hey, Bill, sit up straight!
yeah – the story here is that MLK III sure ain’t his old man!
wow, what’s JOHN’S problem with black people?
Ha ha he doesnt care what people think.
Clinton was not a great president. But compare Bush to anyone and they look fantastic.
P.s. and that guy “John” who keeps saying all that racist stuff, you are an idiot.
IT’S PRETTY DISGUSTING WHAT SOME YOU THINK. THAT’S WHY REV. DR. MLK JR SHOULD BE HONORED MORE THAN EVER. HE FOUGHT FOR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY PEOPLE’S IGNORANCE. I GUESS HE DIDN’T REACH MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT MLK III WHILE JUSTIFYING BILL’S ACTS OF BLATANT DISRESPECT!!
I COULD CARELESS IF THE SPEECH WAS BORING. I COULD CARELESS IF BILL WAS TIRED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE. IT IS THE BLATANT DISRESPECT THAT WAS DEMONSTRATED TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING. BILL (OR HILLARY FOR THAT MATTER) DOESN’T RESPECT BLACKS AT ALL.
WHEN YOU GO TO PLACE YOUR VOTE REMEMBER WHO CAME TO HARLEM AND DISPLACED HUNDREDS OF MOM AND POPS STORES. IT SURE WASN’T OBAMA. BOTTOM LINE DON’T SPEND MONEY WHERE THE STORE OWNER DOESNT RESPECT YOUR DOLLAR. DON’T CAST YOUR VOTE ON SOMEONE WHO DOESNT RESPECT YOU!!!!
President Clinton Uses the “C” Word!
Jan 21, 2008 | 11:07 PM PST
Category: Political
Report This Post Today the former President Bill Clinton, stood in the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church during the 40th Annual Commemorative Celebration and called poor white rural Americans as “CRACKERSâ€!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was offended! I think all of white America should be as offended as any black person is when the “n†word is used. If anyone else had made this comment the media would have replayed it a thousand times and every newspaper in America would have printed a headline about the racial slur. It was really inappropriate, particularly from Dr. Warnock’s pulpit and especially during a celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
As a native of Baltimore, I have to go with the key note speaker today and I DARE YOU, I D DOUBLE DARE you to stand up to racism and injustice everywhere – even at the White House.
As a Black woman….I am not offended by Clinton falling asleep. Sometimes you just can not help it when or where your body shuts down. If that is the case, those who fall asleep behind the wheel…are they blatantly doing so? No, no one chooses that. But when seated and you are overly tired, it does NOT matter where you are or how strongly you fight it. Your body will get its rest…even if it has to take it! I have fallen asleep in mid conversation and I am no narcoleptic. It just happens. We are human..get over it! Nobody died, nor did the world stop turning because of it. We have bigger things to worry about such as: our country going to hell in a cheap hand bag, the economy sucks (thanks Bush), foreclosures are through the roof! Soilders are dying for a senseless war (thanks Bush), gas prices are ridiculous (again..thanks Bush)! Need I say more?
Yes, the celebration was for MLK, who wanted equal rights for ALL…not just Blacks. Really read the content of his, “I have a dream” speech and you will see that. So not only should Black people honor MLK…but any American who is not racist should as well. Granted I know we have some really mentally messed up people who believes things were better prior to MLK. But no need to dwell on those who are a few fries short of Happy Meal! Racisism is equally as bad as Sexism. Ladies…we know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that stick! Isn’t so great huh? You want to be treated equally to men….so why no the same for races?
Ok,
First & foremost,
I strongly doubt that this is about a disrespect of MLK or the lack of “carisma” the speaker had.
Second,NO ONE can sit there & say you havent fell asleep in church, a speech, etc. Its boring!! There are only so many points you can make on one matter or topic, & I think that all points have been hit on MLK. Now everything else is just an overview of duplicate conversations & speeches. So quit analyzing everything & realize that an older man feel alseep during a boring speech……no matter the topic! GO SLICK WILLY! No hard feelings here!
[...] video came from http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=33364 No Comment Watched It LOL’d Loved It Hated It Tell ‘em 0 0 ratings rate [...]
I’d sleep too.
Yes, people are saying the speech was boring: to this I say Yes, it was.
People are saying: “give him a break, he’s been campaigning for months on end w/ little sleep.”
yes, i’m sure that’s true.
but despite that all, he was on stage for everyone to see. and he’s a public figure. he has to have more self control
Heavy date last night
hmmmm still at it..ok
Why not fall asleep? Almost everybody knows the speech will contain the same elements that every other black speaker screams on every day that’s set aside for them: “fo’ hunnert years of slavery”; “we still gots a long way to go in dis country”; “they’s still injust..injus..injustibice.” Then they make some veiled allusion as to how it will all change if more money is thrown at them and if white folks will just bend over a littttle more.
Obviously he is still relevant and threatening to conservatives to have so much made from this.
I could do without the black stereotypes, just shows how important MLK was and how far we still have to go!
i almost feel sorry for him, because i’ve had to be awake when i would rather be sleeping as well, i expect too, there wasn’t alot of oxygen going around there.
i wouldn’t vote for hillary either, and don’t understand why she is so popular.
yet i also don’t understand why everyone keeps bringing up his infidelities. who cares? and it’s none of our business.
what i think impacts the public more is the money corruption.
the millions and millions gone missing meat for the iraq war, the dishonesty in general of the current administration.
there’s not enough heat brought to this, not enough people are asking the tough questions.
You all say that it is disrespectful to fall asleep during an ohhhh soooo interesting speech. Well maybe you should take a look at the video of Obama standing at the front of a crowd when the national anthem is playing and not putting his had over his heart. Any can fall asleep because they are busy with presidential campaigns but being awake and not putting your hand over your heart is more disrespectful than that. The thing to remember is that we can only see Bill not the rest of the congregation and other visitors that were nodding off as well.
Take a look at the Obama insult http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/anthem.asp

Give the guy a break we all fell asleep during a boring ass speech. Stop trying act like yall all that. He is a human..HUmans get sleepy at boring speeches
These are some of the most ignorent comments I have ever read. The intelligence is definitely lacking. Must we resort to racist, hurtful generalizations? First of all, lets not make this about Black people. Not all Blacks are democrats and not all Blacks voted for Clinton. Second of all, Martin Luther King Jr. did humanity a favor and attempted to unite human beings from all ethnicities. He deserves respect from everyone.
This is really funny, especially how he keeps nodding off then waking up pretending to agree with the speaker. It reminds me of me and my weekly meetings at work. Really though, how many times can you listen to the same speech being made year after year after year after year after year after year, lol. No disrespect for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. but come on my people we do need to spice things up a bit when it comes to a King celebration instead of everything turning into a church sermon.
OH please! Yes this doesn’t look the best for Clinton and yes it is embarrassing but come on people! We have ALL done this at one time or another we just weren’t caught on film and don’t have the title of former US president.
Also to comment on some of the IGNORANT RACIST comments about Black people….. I can’t believe how backward and stereotypical some people can still be in this day in age! Thank God for MLK and what he represented!! Some people still don’t get it.
Does no one remember Barbara Bush falling asleep at the Reagan funeral – when her OWN SON, the CURRENT president, was speaking?
Bill was simply dreaming of the “good old days” he spent in the White House with Monica and possibly others, and how much better it can be for him if Hillary gets elected (God forbid) and he gets to go back to the White House. He’ll keep Hillary so busy doing his bidding as president that she’ll have absolutely no time to keep her eyes on him as future Monica types have a field day keeping him occupied and very happy.
It was actually funny I probably would of have been doing the same I do the same at my grandma’s old church I don’t blame him
Wow, not to much you can say about. A little sad that he couldn’t at least day dream and act like he was paying attention. Especially since it is Dr. Kings son that is speaking. I’m understanding to the fact that everyone gets tired every now and again at church especially if it’s a long service and I know he’s been traveling and being quite busy during this time but, he knows he’s on camera and he’s suppose to be on his best behavior because the media is going to be watching like hawks and comments are going to be made about this
LOLOLOL yero billy c clinton is my dude, goes to show that no matter how famous, or important u may be everyone is still human, pluz that dude was boring as hell, i fell asleep too
Every now and then our bodies will automatically shut down if they are tired. Jesus the Son of God fell asleep during a time his disciples ship was about to sink. If Jesus fell asleep what makes us think we want.
First of all, for you racist dorks posting your stereotypical trash, you are the most ignorant people I have ever seen. This is Dr. King’s son speaking about his father’s legacy. If you think all black people are lazy and in poverty than you are dumber than I thought (and trust me I think you are pretty dumb). I probably make more money and education than most of you posting your idiotic comments. Get a clue before you post ignorant trash.
[...] Clinton has a dream during an MLK speech. Then flips out on a reporter. [...]
must not have been any hot babes in the audience for him to birddog
It makes you wonder about his sincerity (or lack thereof) towards the African-American people and the legacy of MLK. In my opinion, Bill’s attendance at this service was just another Clinton photo-op . If he was truly interested in what MLK Jr. was saying, he wouldn’t have kept nodding off and looking down at his watch.
this is really great entertainment. i love this kind of stuff, but all the posts about insincerity, disrespect, like this has some deeper meaning, are pretty silly. the poor schlep was tired – it happens. you sound like democrats!
Unlike the rest of us, Bill Clinton has a life! And I am sure that that life starts very very very early in the morning! This is most likely number 3 of 19 engagements that he has to attend on that day! I..or any of you would be tired as well!! You go Bill!!!
What racists points of view we have on this site!! It never ceases to amaze me how people can hide behind the comfort of their keyboard and spew venom about any race does isn’t as pure (don’t take that literally) as the driven (WHITE) snow. What a farce!!!!
Sure the speech was lackluster, but Bill Clinton should have shown more respect by being more attentive. Hell, he could have drank a Red Bull and grew some wings to survive those few minutes. I’m sure he knew before he arrived that he was dog tired.
Nevertheless, this shameless show of disrespect will not soon be forgotten.
This was a important event for MLK day.Mr Clinton should have made sure he was rested for this day.People make sure your not sleep when Jesus come for his bride.
Who wouldn’t fall asleep if tou have a speaker like this one, droning on and on?
What gets to me is how easliy fooled blacks have been by Billary. See how old Bill is trying to brand Obama as just a black politician. When it suits the pair, blacks will hear bull crap like “your pain is my pain”. When it does not, “Jessie Jackson won here twice”.
It’s a shame that slavery and jim crow still exits, especially on this blog. You would want blacks to be cool and not revert back to the days of the 70’s and THE BLACK PANTHER MOVEMENT when you anglo saxons were scared to even look our way with out law enforcement standing next to you. Being disrespectful to MLK Jr., opinion or pure hatred, will have us revert back. Stop being cowards and say that crap to our faces and see what happens. You better pray we did listen to MLK Jr and passed it on to the next generation.
Give old Bill Clinton a break the HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS he was paid was to show up. Did’nt matter if he listened. Money not well spent. When will you people learn Bill Clinton did’nt do your race any justice .

“The time is always right for doing what’s right.” Poor man. No shame in nodding off during that.
