Bill Clinton, STFU

[karynnj]

168. I don't blame Clinton - or credit Clinton - for anything Obama does

I do hold Clinton responsible for what he says with his own mouth.

I remember in 2007 and 2008, when Clinton tried to reinvent where he was on Iraq - and among other things argued that as a former President, he did not think it appropriate to question the actions of a sitting President. How do you explain that he feels free to completely trash Obama - saying clearly that polls were the reason he wasn't all in on giving weapons to the Syrians? Contrast that with saying in 2004, that it was wrong of "those on the left" criticizing the way the Iraq war was being done - like our de facto nominee, who he at least did not name or say he was a "wuss".

Another question, if he KNEW it was in the works, why go on the rant about he would be a "wuss" if he didn't. Whether he knew or not, I would have no problem if he JUST spoke to the issue and said what to do. What he did with the poll nonsense was to say Obama was craven and I think the Wuss nonsense needs no explanation.

If anyone questioned why making Hillary SoS was a great political move, they should see it now. It was possibly the only way to keep Bill Clinton helpful, rather than a negative.
