Bill Clinton, STFU

[DonCoquixote]

121. I agree

Was he the best choice we had back in 1992? However, this is NOT 1992. In 20 years, we have gone from loved to hated, rich to poor, without peer to one with many rivals, including, but not limited to, the Chinese. This is a hotter, smaller world we are in.

And to be fair, it is not that Bill is merely trying to speak over Obama, or even that his wife is very, very silent about this (come on Hillary, doesn't Bill owe you some time holding the microphone?)

It is that both the statements I linked shows Bill trying to pull things FIRMLY TO THE RIGHT, at a time when there are enough forces pulling in that direction.

I will admit, when Joe Biden forced Obama to confront marriage equality, I enjoyed it, enough that I almost wanted the two of them to switch jobs, but that is because frankly, Obama listens too much to those that want the Democrats to be Goldwater Republicans, especially the Clinton-era staff he surrounds himself with.
