Charles Krauthammer On Bill Clinton: ‘Loose Cannon? He’s A Double Agent’

On his show Tuesday, Bret Baier spoke with Charles Krauthammer about Bill Clinton‘s recent veering off the Team Obama tracks. Remarking on Clinton’s “undermining” President Obama, Krauthammer went beyond calling Clinton a “loose cannon,” straight to dubbing him a “double agent.”

“Well, I think he really is now a bull in a china shop,” Krauthammer said. “And there’s a lot of crockery being destroyed. It’s very clear. When he said the thing about ‘the sterling business record,’ that was extremely undermining because, of course, it contradicted the whole roll-out strategy of the Obama campaign, which was to portray Romney as vulture capitalist.”

What’s been overlooked, he argued, is that Romney “met the threshold for the presidency.” Krauthammer later added:

And here is Clinton — the biggest surrogate, the most popular of all Democrats — saying that Romney meets the threshold for presidency, which means the election should be, will be, a referendum on Obama and the record, and it is not a good one. I think that was what most deeply undermined Obama.

“Loose cannon?” he asked. “He’s a double agent. What is the message? Bill Clinton says elect Obama because, at the end of a second term, you might begin to be getting out of recession? I wouldn’t run on that.”
