In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton goes off message: Calls Romney's Bain Career 'Sterling' [View all]aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)Bill Clinton is a household name. Cory Booker isn't. Romney's ENTIRE campaign hinges on his claim that he's a competent and ethical businessman who knows how to fix the economy. Calling Romney "sterling" in this regard is as bad as Clinton simply telling the American public "vote for the other guy". How could you interpret this statement by Clinton as anything else than an endorsement of Romney for President? Time will tell, but you can bet the other side will feature these words prominently in their campaign. I think the negative impact of what Clinton did will be vast. What I wonder now is why. Even if Clinton really believes this, why voice it? Why not just remain silent? Clinton is very calculating and isn't prone to Joe Biden's foot-in-mouth-itis.
