New York Times: Bill Clinton gave Mitt Romney tips on how to DEFEAT OBAMA in 2012 debates!

The New York Times ran a mostly positive article about how “Team Clinton” is trying to get Bill to shut up and not make any news. Unfortunately while they were doing that, they left a snippet that might give fuel to the rumors of rancor between the Obama camp and the Clintons:

…Mr. Clinton often cannot help being himself. And nothing animates him more than offering his views on political strategy, sometimes with surprising company.

In September 2012, when Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, spoke at the annual Clinton Global Initiative gathering in New York, Mr. Clinton gave him advice backstage about how to appear in command when facing off against Mr. Obama in their coming debates.

If you remember back to the debates, Romney definitely had the appearance of being in charge and trying to intimidate Obama. Who knows if hearing from Monica’s boyfriend might have encouraged him to take on that attitude. On the other hand, it may just be that Billy Boy can’t keep himself from offering advice, even when it’s to an adversary.
