lol what a schmuck this guy is…

Wow!

if he is so tired, why did he sit up there? he should have just made his speech and then quietly exited the building and have his PR person say he had “other obligations to attend to” or something…i feel bad for him trying to stay awake in front of all those people. i would have drifted off too. he’s only human.

i was there (Ebenezer Bapist Church, Atlanta, GA) and I fell asleep ALSO….Hell, they keptus in church ALL DAY!

omfg that’s hilarius. he’s got that nodding off but jerking awake type sleep going on…like my nobodys-looking-at-work-but-i-gotta-keep-an-eye-out-cuz-the-boss-might-be-coming-soon snooze.

but seriously, i only got one question to ask…after all that’s been happening lately with clinton, what do yall really think about the ‘first black president’ now?

fourth???

Well first of all they failed to inform us just how long this speech was. And second, Bill is STILL a white man no matter how much we related to him gettin some head in the oval office.. A white person could never understand what its like to be black; it’s like trying to describe a color to a person born blind.

I guess Bill Clinton has a dream too………

You can’t trust black people. I am glad and proud of George Bush, he knew that from the beginning. You can do a lot of stuffs for black people but they will forget in a second. Put you in a trash bag. How can negros choose Obama over Clinton? Obama never did anything for black community, probably will never do anything. It is just amazing. I read one article/reaserch one day that black people IQ is very low compare to white. I guess the guy was right. Sometimes I ask people why they like Obama? Most of them just say that they need change. If you ask them what changes do they expect, nobody knows. Poor black people. No wonder why no black people own even a conrner store. All these big names like camel, Didy etc, they are satisfied to be the image of white people business. I think if you believe on revolutions, back people are still monkeys, they just need some bananas and jump on the trees. I looking forward to see how many monkeys will vote against HIlary today.

I always fall asleep when listening to black folks’ speech like Obama.

And people say Bill’s the first black president. I just find it funny how both of the Clintons are now showing their true colors. SMH

and we expected something better? please.

Does anyone else think this guy doesn’t even look like Bill Clinton…

OMG, I’m ROFLMAO @ Bill…he was seriously nodding. See, I understand, I’ve been in church too when that “sleep demon” grabs hold,it’s HARD to stay awake. Sometimes, it just comes out of the blue and it’s hard to shake. Hmmm, maybe he should have sat up straight instead of just leaning on his hands.

I thought that it didn’t look like Bill for a split second, but it’s him. I feel him though. I probably would have been ready to bounce after sitting there all day. He did a lot more for black people than George Bush. The economy was a lot stronger. We didn’t have to use zip lock bags going through security at the airport. The housing market was strong. I am not hating on Bill for almost falling asleep. I am sure he was not the only one. Would it have mattered if he was Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton? Why should black people get a pass? I’m just sayin….

And as for Kenya’s message…HO SIT DOWN! I have no response for the ignorance in that comment.

lol I was there too & in all fairness to Bill I was nodding myself. MLK III can be a bit of a snoozer when he wants to be lol. And also the man has been traveling NON-STOP stumping & campaigning for Hillary & am suite sure he is EXHAUSTED. I do agree that he should have tried to have himself excused but obviously unless it was a national emergency lol it would look REALLY bad to exit stage left during MLK III’s speech lol!!!

them services do be long as hell i dont blame bill i wud of probably did the same thing

That was not Bill Clinton

CAGE:

i disagree with your comment completely, in today’s day and age, whether you want to admit it or not, white people are more openly prejuidiced against then black people. Sure, there is still the KKK, what happened in Jena 6 was horrible, and Don Imus’ comments were unnecessary, but for the most part, white people are so damned afraid of rufflin’ the black folks feathers that they’re just steppin on eggshells! Moral of the story, white people are just as prejuidiced against now as black people are, and have ever been back then. Throw in a little poverty, drug use, violence, and bad family situations, and I’d say white people can know EXACTLY how most black people live (i’m guessing this is the enviroment you implied)…And believe me, there are many, many white people living this reality everyday.

lol…he shouldnt have went

oh & yes that is the Honorable William Jefferson Clinton, he is in his usual spot when he comes to Ebeneezer. Plus the man has lost ALOT of weight & is still managing to keep it off. As far as what is happening politically is he supposed to SUPPORT Obama because he does openly support black people? It just so happens his WIFE is running too so where is his loyalty suppose to be? Put yourself in his shoes for ONE second. What decision would YOU make?

Obama spent years working in the inner city, while Hillary was on the board of Wal mart. Obama has just as much legislative experience as Hillary, who didn’t even have clearence to view intelligence files in the White House. Her “experience” argument is way overstated. Its funny how Toni Morrison took the worst parts of being a black man, and proclaimed Bill a brother; lying, smoking weed, whoring around, cheating, etc. Yet, the real black man is faithful, raising his family, hardworking, honorable, intelligent and dignified; his name is Barack.

@Yeah Okay… lol I know he look different because he has lost ALOT of weight but TRUST I was there, that was him & MLK was LONG in the TOOTH lol! I think we ALL wanted to take a nap at that point!!!

LMMFAO, Come on now, we all know that some southern preachers can be long winded. HAHAHA

I wanted to fall asleep just looking at the clip but thats no disrespect to Dr. King.

yall know bill was still hung over from the night before and needed his rest!

Well we can official call Bill Clinton Black LOL

Who else would fall asleep in church but a black human being, I cannot speak negative about this because a. I would have probably dosed of too and b. its normal, it cracks me up how people slander someone and they will or have done the same thing.

I’m not mad atcha CLinton get your snooze on.

lol. that Bill, always sleeping on the job. lol.

………………………

Sheer self hatred and ignorance

@Kenya—

Oh please you pink porky pig!!!!!!Black people will turn on you in a minute?? Is that your only argument?? Well I’ve met a number of pigs that can’t be trusted with themselves!!! Forget turnin on the Clintons we want to turn them off…”white pigs” that is.. We want to “turn on” Someone who has our best interest.. How can you come on here and say Obama has never done anything for blacks?? I mean really?? When have the “White pigs” given him the oppurtunity?? I bet your uncle/dad/cousin has the same views as you and for that reason and a few others I feel the world will never give blacks a fair shot at anything..until now…I hope Obama wins because when he does I will be at some type of rally hangin little white pigs from a noose..dressed in my monkey costume!! lol yellin… free at last… free at last…

oh and by the way…you smell like cats and dogs when you get wet.. freakin stinkin animal!!!

People better wake up and realize that when the Clintons were in power, the economy was strong, people had jobs, and we just about had world peace. I’m sorry (well, no I am not sorry), but I’m a black woman who is sticking with the Clintons. They are good people and can get the job done.

Poor Bill looks so tired doing all that campaining. Black folk should be more insulted by Mike Huckabee showing up at a MLK service when he supports the confederate flag!

BIG C:

well, if you disagree with me, please define what it means to “be black”. and i’ll tell you if white people have not experienced those things as well.

No offense to the Clintons, but I’m just sayin… “some”white folks are showing their colors now days.. I would like to see how they respond to a black man in charge..

I think people are taking it too far..dude was just tired..he has been problack all these and be considered a racist after a speech…dude must of had a long day

for those still in denial….that is BILL

I was there (at the church), and the service was WAY TOO LONG (love Dr. King, but we could do without all the Prasie Dancer performances from every black church in Atl)….

I do not blame Bill for nodding…I found myself nodding also, until we sung We Shall Overcome for the 20th time….

THIS VIDEO IS STRAIGHT UP FAKE AS HELL!!!

IT IS PHOTOSHOPPED OR SOMETHING…. THE REAL SPEAH DID NOT EVEN HAVE CLINTON IN THE BACK!!! LOOK AT MLK JR’S SHADOW THAT IS FAKE TOO!

HELLO!????!!!

Prasie = PRAISE

THIS VIDEO IS STRAIGHT UP FAKE AS HELL!!!

IT IS PHOTOSHOPPED OR SOMETHING…. THE REAL SPEECH DID NOT EVEN HAVE CLINTON IN THE BACK!!! LOOK AT MLK JR’S SHADOW THAT IS FAKE TOO!

HELLO!????!!!

Ridiculous ! And you will see this reported NOWHERE in written press. You think the NY Times will mention this? CNN, perhaps….not a chance.

He is a muppet, she is a muppet and i wish folks could just see them for what they are.

damned pathetic.

only a zombie can not tell that this is fake.

its a fake video

I saw this on CBS nightly news yesterday. It’s definitely real!

that is not fake, that pic is on news blogs also. Not excusing him but people are always sleeping at lectures, church, award shows etc.

lol the VIDEO IS NOT FAKE. There are at least THREE people who are on this board THAT WERE THERE including myself. & @mr mr Oh I thoguht I was going to FALL OUT when we started singing We Shall Overcome….AGAIN lol. The man is burning the candle at BOTH ends on VERY little sleep & TRUST he is only gaining attention because he was in his usual high visibility spot lol. Otherwise we wouldn’t even be hearing about this. Also TRUST when I tell you he was NOT the only one nodding out during the service!! There were a few folks that were sawing more than their share of logs!!!

lol…I can’t say a word because this has happened to me several times….

Gary

Being black, hmmm, having been black my entire life I never had to put into words what it means to be black because I was living it so I would say being identifiable reguardless of ones socioeconomic background.

LOL Bill is definitely catchin’ some zzzz. But y’all know he is not a well man. He spent some real time 3 yrs ago at the cardiac care unit at New York Presbyterian after some very risky surgery. So, if people are votin’ for Hillary so that they can get Bill back, well, I’m just sayin’………

I don’t have a problem with it, I was in church just last week and it was hard for me to stay awake, and I genuinely wanted to hear what was said, I was just tired.

All that hating on Obama makes the president one tired fool …

Seriously, the chair is comfortable and decided to catch some winks. I wonder if that fool had sleep in the corner of his eye after waking up …

@ sho nuff

Me too I feel asleep in meetings all the time.. it’s hard man!! oh and is that your real pic?

You look fine as hell!

And if that really is Bill Clinton, that’s totally disrespectful, to sit there with his head in his hand nodding off, and looking at this watch, knowing he is in front and everyone can see him. If a republican had done that, they’d be being called racist for disrespecting Martin Luther King, but since it was our first black president, I guess its okay.

Obama, Bill Clinton, or Hillary Clinton? What matters in the end is how we each will look at the full scope of the debates on gender, race, cultural identification, and political access.

Somehow I am getting the feeling that decades of widespread anti-social behavior within the black community is directly impacting this campaign. For instance, black women are sick and tired of sorry black men which may weigh on their political decisions. I think black women also hold more, though not necessarily higher, degrees than black males.

Ultimately, it does not matter who takes the presidential office. What matters most is the collective identification we create amongst ourselves and how that image is distributed globally.

We have access to the best and brightest amongst our group whether or not they are holding high office.

How we connect our social-economic potential to our human and material resources is a more pressing concern that directly relates to concrete progress. We have to answer to this whether Obama wins or not, but we consistently miss our mark.

The sickest component of this campaign is how we doubt ourselves. That is the very fuel that drives the Clintons and, indeed, corporate America to drive us like mules on a 17th century farm. We, rather than them, set ourselves up to get kicked. Many of us might as well have been right up there next to ol’ Bubba continuing our deep sleep.

We need a self-inspired, people-centered, bottom-up economic plan that will settle all doubts that we are ready for high office. Sooner or later we will have to get this done.

It was a three hour speech! I’d be a little sleepy too.

he’s old, he’s wrinkled, he’s tired and he needs to stop messing with Obama! at the end of the day, Barack is an AFRICAN MAN and they don’t play that! why would any black person keep pushing these two prunes up is beyond me – OBAMA/BLOOMBERG 2008!

Before I get started just have to point out that the guy in FyreStarter icon is a cutie.

With that said, i want to say this, People really shouldn’t say Bush hasn’t done anything for black people. He has, he appointed Rice and Powell to powerful posistions in government. He has not cuddled and pimped the black vote or population.

^^funny that you say that…Clinton fell asleep at Ronald Reagans funeral also. lol..

HE HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME SINCE HIS OPEN HEART SURGERY. ALSO, WHAT DO EXPECT WITH THAT LONG-WINDED ASS SPEECH. He also has been on the campaign trail with Hill-Dawg for a minute. Cut the Dude some slack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, CNN “DID” cover this story. No fake, just Bill catching some zzzzzzzz’s

I am curious so still some celebrities and rich people feel lonely.

I found them on a millionaire&celeb dating site called”CelebMingle.com”last night.

Big Deal Clinton was tired yall! Get over it. He fell asleep at Ronald Reagans funeral and it didn’t get this over hyped smear campaign. Just pathetic. I love how all of yall get mad when a whiteboy says hoe, but its okay to call Hilary Clinton that word.

Yes it is funny! Been there done that!

Martin Luther No. 3 is no Martin Jr. when it comes to speaking. I would snooze too. LOL

The dude probably hasnt been sleeping…AND…he old! lol!

Ughn. He was babbling so much he began to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher.

I am sorry but the son is not his father, and would fall asleep too.

He is such a Joke. Don’t show up if you’re going to sleep. Oh I forgot he needed to look like he actually cares about black people.

(in the words of Kanye)

Bill Clinton don’t like black people.

Speak on it Pervster! AMEN!

I would snooze too, I got sleepy just watching that clip!

HOWEVER, why are black people so tolerant? That’s why our asses get the shaft 97% of the time, we are too damned tolerant!! Can you imagine the backlash the white community would stir up if Obama had fallen asleep during a sermon on National Holocaust Day at a Jewish temple? I know there is no National Holocaust Day but still…the inference is the same…you don’t sleep during an important speech about issues you supposedly identify with. And here most of the black folks are giving Clinton a pass because he was the president 10 years ago and supposedly likes blacks? Get a clue people, Clinton shouldn’t get a pass for this just like Obama wouldn’t get a pass for doing the same. Stop holding black folks to higher standards and accepting the status quo from the white man and calling it a miracle. Wake up!

who hasent fell asleep in church if i went to church after smoking a joint I would have fell asleep …hell I fall asleep sober .let he or she that has never fell asleep when in church stand up.

hell, I fell asleep watching the video…Bill gets a pass on this one. And what the hell does him falling asleep have to do with whether I’m voting for Obama or Hillary?

Martin’s son is a joke and Bill Clinton Fake as hell…Wake up Black Folks…

NOW WE KNOW HOW THE CLINTONS REALLY FEEL BOUT BLACK FOLKS!!!!!!!

NOW WE KNOW HOW THE CLINTONS REALLY FEEL BOUT BLACK FOLKS!!!!!!!

OBAMA IN 08 AND 12!!!

For serious… Bill is kinda old… I’m 31 & I fell asleep during a bunch of interesting stuff… That is why black folks eat after Church… Bill had the itus! Too full, warm, & comfy! I would have curled up too & dreamt about his presidential days too… Ummm, money, head & blunts! LMAO!

& Obama for Prez… But we democrats need to unite & vote for the Democratic Elect… United we stand, divided we fall. If we do not come together the Republicans will rule again!

I’m sorry, but I just had to laugh at this. If you take it for what it is (a former PRESIDENT practically falling out of his chair asleep), this isht is funny as hell!

What makes it even funnier was when he about fell over and he woke himself up, and immediately started nodding his head, “yes,” trying to play that isht off. LMAO

He’s human. The man has been on the road campaigning for weeks for his wife. Living on the road is no joke. I’ve done it, and it is very exhausting and no fun after a while.

We need to learn how to have an hour-long ceremony and let folks go. LOL Ya’ll know how black church service last ALL DAY. LOL

OH, and before people accuse me of making excuses for “the white man,” just for the record, I am NOT voting for Hillary Clinton. Thank you very much. LOL

TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE LAUGHING:

Please remember that ALL so-called “Minorities” have come up in a positive way from Dr King’s sacrifice.

To me, Bill was VERY DIS-RESPECTFULL toward the Legacy of Dr King.

If you know you are going to a very important function the next Morning, GET SOME SLEEP the night B4!

To say that he gets a “Pass On This One”, suggests to me that some African Americans (?…maybe not AAs posting, but those who would wish to spin this in the Clintons Favor) are still in Slave Mentality Mode.

I am DONE with the Clintons after this Slight!

WAKE UP BLACK FOLKS, AND SMELL THE COFFEE.

That’s disrespectful and he probably already knew he was tired before the event. Keep your droggy ass home.

…I will say though that people with heart problems often nod off in odd situations like this. Not to make excuses for him though but he needs to take his ass to the doctor, stay off Obamas back and let his wife handle her own battles.

That’s ok. When Obama is in the white house Mr. Hillary Clinton can have all day and night to snooze.

In all fairness that man would of put me to sleep to ( I know he is MLK son) but he is no MLK. And Bill has been traveling a lot on no sleep for his wife campgain doing a lot of Obama Bashing.

Now , though I am an Obama Girl For Life…I have to say I am not a hyporcrite, once we all thought bill and hill were the bomb..peole this is a race for prez of America, not high school so it’s going to get ugly ON BOTH SIDES and even Obama knows that and does not take personally everyone is dong what they need to win ..they all do some shady stuff to a limit..as long they dont cross that line im ok with it. Therefore that is why I am not going to knock down hill and bill all of sudden when we thought they were cool beans in the past. To be honest they were good for black folks in comparison to Bush and regan admn of past 23 years so I can appreciate that but in the same sense I was never one of those Bill is frist black prez , brotha …blah, blah..I know he had his short commings even on black agenda stuff like fair trade,(not good for black americans lost lots of jobs here to asia) and Rawanda..and other issues so now I am not trippin on him just being A decent white president ,,,not going to take that from him and his wife either.

OBAMA GIRL FOR LIFE!

He fell asleep and WHAT?!?! It has nothing to do with him being white because I know my ass has damn near fallen off the pew when my pastor tends to be a little long winded. Get over it. Who among us hasn’t nodded off?

ohhhh i can’t wait to see the saturday night live skit behind this sh!t! jesus be a break in that daggone writer’s strike!

No body living on this earth who attends church (not just on Easter)can say they have never fell asleep in church.Don’t get me wrong it was funny as hell. But I can see the haters coming out the woodworks. Lets not define him for falling asleep in church I almost fell asleep watching the video. Real Talk!!!

LMAO!! at his ass looking like me at work with a hang over lol
