Bill Clinton To Wolf Blitzer: 'I Am Strongly Committed' To President Obama's Re-Election [View all]

Thursday afternoon, former President Bill Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he is “strongly committed” to President Barack Obama’s re-election and that he is sorry for causing a stir after he was believed to have contradicted President Obama by telling CNBC on Tuesday that Congress should extend the Bush tax cuts.

Clinton walked back his tax cut claims, saying that he misunderstood the deadline by which Congress needs to take action. “I was under the impression that something had to be done before the election,” he said of the tax cut renewal.

“I am very sorry about what happened,” he continued. “I thought something had to be done on the fiscal cliff before the election. apparently nothing has to be done until the first of the year, so I think (President Obama) should just stick with his position and negotiate when possible.”
