More trouble for Obama: Bill Clinton leaving the reservation - "Romney's business record 'sterling.'"

It has GOT to suck to be Barack.

Imagine it.

EVERY morning you wake up... look around... and you find another in the ever-lengthening series of days and years where absolutely nothing is going right.

The economy continues to suck and you don't know what to do about it, except to engage in the default gambit: "Blame Bush."

The job picture is continuing to worsen because when it comes to economies, you're a clueless moron and you can't fix it because you don't know how.

Your foreign policy is a joke where the rest of the world just laughs at your cowardice and incompetence.

Congress ignores you; your signature legislation, obviously unconstitutional from the get go (Some Constitutionqal Law Professor YOU turned out to be) is about to get tossed... and your class warfare idiocy is going no where...

And then, Bill Clinton rams THIS shiv into the space between your L4 and L5:

Bill Clinton: Mitt Romney's business record 'sterling'

President Bill Clinton veered sharply off message Thursday, telling CNN that Mitt Romney's business record at Bain Capital was "sterling."

"I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say 'This is bad work. This is good work,'" Clinton said. "The man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold."

Clinton also went on to say that Romney's time at Bain Capital represented a "good business career."

The Obama campaign is in the third week of an all-out assault on Romney's time as a corporate buyout specialist — accusing the GOP nominee of bankrupting companies and laying off workers all while pocketing a profit for  himself and investors.

But the negative tenor of their attacks on an influential segment of Wall Street have made some Democrats uncomfortable. Clinton is the highest profile Obama surrogate so far to show discomfort with the attacks on Bain, with the former president even praising the company and Romney's record. Newark mayor Cory Booker and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick also both declined to press the attack against Bain.

One of Obama's many problems is that when you;'re building your re-election campaign on lies and revisionist history, hearding cats becomes a much simpler exercise then treating your fellow democrats like co-conspirators.

Yeah, George... I do.
