Here comes the part where the Clintons pay back Barack Obama for chucking Hillary Clinton under the Benghazi bus.
Bryan Preston has been a leading conservative blogger and opinionator since founding his first blog in 2001. Bryan is a military veteran, worked for NASA, was a founding blogger and producer at Hot Air, was producer of the Laura Ingraham Show and, most recently before joining PJM, was Communications Director of the Republican Party of Texas.
This HAS to be deliberate. Bill Clinton knows not to make soundbites like this. I’m sure that there’s a big “but” here that the video cuts off, but it would be entirely reasonable for the RNC to stick this in an ad right alongside Obama’s “one-term proposition” statement.
go, Bill.
Clinton is merely doing some prepping for Hilary for 2016.
Just thinking earlier today…
When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, he inherited a far worse economy than Mr. Obama.
President Reagan didn’t whine that “Carter did it! Not my fault!”.
Even though, unlike Bush, Carter really did do it.
President Reagan did what good Presidents do. He fixed the problem. Or, more correctly, removed the obstacles for the private sector to fix it.
For about…hmmm…15+ years of uninterrupted growth…a record that still stands…
Without a single “stimulus”…by government.
Just…ordinary people…working hard…making money…
And four years later, 1984, President Reagan had no need to whine and beg: “Carter did it!!! Not my fault!!! I tried. Really. Give me four more years!!! Please!!!”
He just simply got: Landslide, 1984.
Because President Reagan did it.
Earned it.
By letting those who know how: build it.
Even though, unlike Bush, Carter really did do it.
And that lie about Bush is still widely disseminated and believed. To parse Obama’s mantra about “30 years of failed policies” (which would have included the 8 Clinton years), it took 30 years of unprecedented prosperity and low inflation to arrive at the financial meltdown. That notion makes as much sense as his take on gas prices in the 2nd debate.
We all know here that the primary cause of the meltdown in ’08 were the subprime loans created by Democratic policies. Bush and the GOP do bear one responsibility in this: despite their control of both the WH and Congress, they failed to stop this madness before it got out of hand.
