In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton Says He Wants to 'Put the Awful Legacy of the Last 8 Years Behind Us' [View all]aggiesal
(10,810 posts)59. Here's the full quote ...
I literally from the time I met her 45 years ago til we talked yesterday, she is the best change-maker I have ever known. She always finds a way to make something good happen, to make people feel empowered, to buy people into the process, to make democracy work the way the framers intended for it to work.
Now, if you dont believe we can all grow together again, if you dont believe we're ever going to grow again, if you believe its more important to re-litigate the past, there may be many reasons that you dont want to support her.
But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe weve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her because shes the only person who basically had good ideas will tell you how shes going to pay for them, can be commander in chief and is a proven change maker with republicans and democrats and independents alike.

Where in this quote does he even imply GOP obstructionism?
What he is talking about is the unregulated trickle-down economic policies of both GW McIdiot and Obama.

This might be the last straw for Obama... don't be surprised if he unleashes DOJ to go after Hillary.

Hillary is not running against Obama so why would anyone think he's going after Obama?

Yes, pretty obvious Hillary loves her some Obama - keeps her out of jail - but Bill is not following the script.

Yeah, sadly I take Clintons "rise together" statement as sort of an endorsement of trickle down

Yep, Bill was a centrist, not a liberal. Governed to the middle, compromised with Republicans.

He is still loosing it. In the past there would have been no question of what he was talking about.
