Bill Clinton is either losing it, or he’s ramping up his attacks on President Obama. Neither is good news for Hillary Clinton.


During a speech in Spokane, Washington on Monday, Clinton seemed to tear down Obama to boost his wife.




“Literally from the time I met her till we talked yesterday, she is the best change maker I have ever known.


“She always finds a way to make something good happen, to make people feel empowered, to buy people into the process, to make democracy work the way the framer intended for it to work,” Clinton said.


“Now, if you don’t believe that we can all grow together again, if you don’t believe that we’re ever going to grow again, if you believe it’s more important to relitigate the past, there may be many reasons that you don’t want to support her.


“But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the 7 years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her,” Clinton said.

LAWLZ! The Clinton administration was just another in the line of administrations that helped to remove the last of the roadblocks which allowed for the sub-prime scam to go forward.
Mr. Clinton is JUST as guilty for what happened in 2008 as Bush.

Bill does say something sensible on occasion. This may have been a slip but he did say something profound. The past 7+ years of the Obama gang reign have been horrible for this nation. His legacy may be a Presidential Library in a Out House.

It is entirely possible that Clinton was not referring to Obama, but to the incredible obstructionism and outright stupidity of the GOP.

Obstructionism ... by that you mean not doing everything the Obama Administration wants I would guess.

He's pretty much got whatever he wanted which is why the GOP establishment is struggling.

Furthermore for two of those last 8 years he's referring to the Democrats had full control of congress and could have done whatever they pleased. In addition, for six of those years the Democrats held the Senate and Harry Reid blocked just about every GOP bill before it got to the President.

Apparently you missed this little news item.

But I don't find that surprising. What I do find surprising is that you don't understand how the US government works and the fact that a minority party can slow the legislative process to almost a crawl.

exactly right, and he mentioned how Obama had to make progress in his position with one hand
tied behind his back, as he was being obstructed the whole way, (I'm paraphrasing) , hence
('awful legacy of last 8 years.)

The Clinton legacy? Every pres got to leave some legacy, something sprayed onto bushes and firehydrants for the citizens benefit. I remember the Clinton Golden Years, there was hope and promice of a bright new electric future. Now we're all going to be killed by climate change cuz you won't stop driving the 351 to town.

Unfortunately she supported the Iraq War (the reason ISIS exists).

We will need a fuller explanation about the incubation of ISIS. What fertilizers did they use? What kind of lights? What was thier yield over watts? Does it taste fruitty?
