Majority of the public in America loves the Clintons and blame Bush

From Washington Post

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/12/19/the-public-still-blames-bush-and-it-celebrates-the-clintons/?tid=pm_politics_pop

Nearly five years after George W. Bush left office, half the public still blames the former president for the nation’s economic woes, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released this week. The survey comes as Republicans have continued to keep the 43rd president at arm’s length.

Democrats, meanwhile, have warmly embraced the family that occupied the White House prior to Bush; polling data show the Clintons are riding high.


Take that, conservatives.

The Clintons are living high thanks in large part for payments from the likes of the Carlyle Group and Goldman Sachs.

no need to hate on them. Most Americans don't. Most Democrats don't.

What's so precious about the Clintons that the Truth can't be told about them but dirty lies can be heaved out every day about evil Obama?

There is no need to make up anything about the Clintons, the stories are real.

...... thus the romanticizing of the Clinton years. The reality was much more complex.
