Sandra Rose January 22, 2008

Video capturing former president Bill Clinton nodding off during Martin Luther King Jr Day service at Convent Baptist Church. This is sooo embarrassing for Hillary Clinton.

LOL – and he tried to play it off by nodding his head a few times like he was attentive. The funniest part for me was at the end when he glances at his watch…classic!

I can sympathize with him. I fell asleep while a VERY boring guest speaker was in the pulpit. I wanted to leave when I felt myself nodding off, but I felt it would be disrespectful to walk out while he was sleeping. Don’t you know that pastor had the audacity to call me out after church? It’s not like people fall asleep on purpose.

LMAO @ this post and TT,
I know I for one stayed out late many Saturday nights and was tired and falling asleep the next day, during church service. Sad to say, I did the fake nodding and all. =)

This is too funny. I can not stop laughing!!!!!!!! I know that I am guilty of falling asleep during boring speeches as well but damn I will get up walk to the restroom and splash some water on my face or something. But Clinton was in a messed up spot. Damn, I can not wait to hear him respond to this. I bet he will say he was on some medication. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilarious!!!

I can’t wait to see how they explain that shit. They’ll probably ignore it.

shakura, u wrong for that!!!!! lmfao!!!!

He wasn’t out of order and he wasn’t disrespectful either! I bet y’all who are “upset” about this would be laughing if the speaker was George Bush!!! You can’t help it if you’re tired. Poor Bill is probably embarrassed and I blame Hillary for keeping him up all day & night with her campaigning.

Now we all know that half of us would have been sleep too. At least he wasn’t snoring or slobbing.

I can’t stand when Preachers have to yell and start taking BREATHS to get their point across. Speechless..

I agree with Bird and Mina – the poor guy obviously wouldn’t have fallen asleep on purpose. Haha – remember, he ain’t exactly a spring chicken nowadays either. Lol

I honestly don’t think he meant to disrespect anybody..he was just tired…lol..Bill is still down with me…lol

I can relate. I have fallen asleep plenty of times in church and it was very peaceful. I can’t even be mad at him, the only thing is, I don’t think I would let that happen if I’m right in front of everyone.
terika83

LOL, this IS funny….the man can’t help it if he’s tired. I don’t think he was being disrespectful at all, we know Bill loves us. And we also know that we’ve all been there before. At least he was trying to fight it. It’s just hilarious that he was RIGHT THERE behind MLKJ’s son.

Put me on blast, I nodded off this past Sunday! You sing hard and shout, you need a rest—don’t let the wrong deacon get to praying, it’s over. It didn’t say, but uhmmm was that a Baptist preacher?

From what I heard the sermon took ALL day, well I’m sure not ALL day but it was long, I don’t blame him one bit we’ve all been there in school, church, work lol, it happens, get over it lol.

Of course a big deal will be made out of it..but when you are longwinded and boring someone will fall asleep on you..sorry that’s the way it is..unfortunately beacuse it’s Clinton and his wife is running against an African American this will be blown completely out of portion
