Highlight:

CNN: Bill Clinton: Hillary can 'put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us' [View all] NWCorona Mar 2016 OP

Bill was referring to unprecedented GOP obstruction, not Obama. nt Cali_Democrat Mar 2016 #1

I supplied a qoute from his aid NWCorona Mar 2016 #2

Is this another one of those moments where a Clinton misspeaks? Kittycat Mar 2016 #4

I think it was a combo of both to tell the truth. NWCorona Mar 2016 #6

Even if that's what he meant, how in the world is she going to put the GOP obstruction behind us? Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #5

Exactly and I'll never forget that. NWCorona Mar 2016 #7

Good question: especially since her campaign seems to have conceded a continuing GOP majority Ken Burch Mar 2016 #18

That's easy, she will work with the GOP congress GummyBearz Mar 2016 #72

She will be getting things done!!! Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #75

You beat me to it. floriduck Mar 2016 #79

Maybe so.... Docreed2003 Mar 2016 #20

Exactly right. bjo59 Mar 2016 #29

Don't waste your breath on the Clinton haters. This is all they have got. Of course you are right, still_one Mar 2016 #51

Which will all magically go away if we elect a President with a net favorable rating of -21 jfern Mar 2016 #55

sure sounds as if he is referring to Obama's policies amborin Mar 2016 #3

Thinking the same! NWCorona Mar 2016 #8

He went full DINO there! Betty Karlson Mar 2016 #52

he has never been one to mince words nor misspeak to that magnitude AtomicKitten Mar 2016 #95

It probably was a mistake, but for a professional speaker? I don't know Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #9

Bill might have lost a few steps but he's still very sharp NWCorona Mar 2016 #10

Yeah, he knows what he's doing Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #16

Someone a while ago called it NWCorona Mar 2016 #17

I Heard Part of That Speech on the Radio gordyfl Mar 2016 #11

Agreed NWCorona Mar 2016 #15

And they claim BERNIE insults Obama? Ken Burch Mar 2016 #12

Will they obstruct Hillary less? Or will she capitulate more? ViseGrip Mar 2016 #13

Well, I think you know the answer to that... Docreed2003 Mar 2016 #21

I take it he's not an ObamaCare fan jfern Mar 2016 #14

Crooks and Liars has the whole thing in context MattP Mar 2016 #19

I actually read that article too and it doesn't contain NWCorona Mar 2016 #23

I think they'll have to pill it on top of... pantsonfire Mar 2016 #47

If That Was the Case... gordyfl Mar 2016 #66

Legacy always refers to a President's time in office Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #22

Yes! NWCorona Mar 2016 #24

No! "Legacy of Obstruction" is a common reference to the GOP Congress. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #36

Didn't the Democrats have a supermajority that first year of Obama's term? Is he confused? pantsonfire Mar 2016 #48

Calling BS on that Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #54

Good grief. Is there any anti-Clinton GOP talking point you don't like? SunSeeker Mar 2016 #57

It didnt start with the clintons....as far as i know SwampG8r Mar 2016 #60

Check your history Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #63

Ah, so now you admit the Clintons didn't start birtherism. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #67

Direct tie, no. However.... Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #70

The Clintons repeatedly disavowed birtherism. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #73

Just one? Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #78

I just picked the most prominent recent example. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #83

According to you it's a common reference when it isn't. Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #85

The leader of the Senate Democrats, Reid, used it in a statement THIS MONTH. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #86

Clearly, you don't understand what common reference means Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #88

Oh, I understand the phrase quite well. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #89

False like 'common reference"? Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #92

Maybe you should learn to Google a little better. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #97

You should think it through before you post Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #98

Same goal posts: the "awful legacy" Bill Clinton was referring to was the GOP legacy of obstruction. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #99

"Recent articles"... interesting... Lone_Wolf Mar 2016 #100

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens you can bet it was planned that way. noiretextatique Mar 2016 #25

And it won't be the last time either NWCorona Mar 2016 #26

The only people jumping on this are the GOP and Sanders fans UMTerp01 Mar 2016 #27

I think it's very clear what Bill Clinton meant. NWCorona Mar 2016 #30

"only". That includes over 75% of Americans. (nt) w4rma Mar 2016 #32

With this post ... NanceGreggs Mar 2016 #28

Of course it was Nance. Sanders has said on several occasions he was not happy with the way still_one Mar 2016 #53

I am starting to think that either nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #31

Yes indeed! NWCorona Mar 2016 #34

It's not so subtle. Scruffy1 Mar 2016 #33

It's funny to me how the GOP and some other folks decry CNN for being shallow lovemydog Mar 2016 #35

I could see that if Bill mentioned the GOP and not trickle down economics NWCorona Mar 2016 #38

He said the trickle down economics lovemydog Mar 2016 #39

If you can keep an open mind about Bill Clinton... pantsonfire Mar 2016 #49

Thanks. I too have mixed feelings about him as that article lovemydog Mar 2016 #50

The other odd thing is Bill Clinton and George W Bush are best friends now Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #37

They're not 'best friends.' lovemydog Mar 2016 #41

I think you need to actually read up on this before you speak. Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #43

And I think the same of you. lovemydog Mar 2016 #44

Well, a two minute google search will show you are wrong. Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #45

Already did it. Clickbait type stuff. lovemydog Mar 2016 #46

Right Bread and Circus Mar 2016 #74

More like he slipped up than misspoke. It's clearly obvious he's referring to Obama and not ... ThePhilosopher04 Mar 2016 #40

I think the wording was very intentional. bobbobbins01 Mar 2016 #42

Yeah.. sendero Mar 2016 #56

Oh..you guys like Obama now huh? LexVegas Mar 2016 #58

I've always liked Obama. Voted for him twice NWCorona Mar 2016 #69

Same democrattotheend Mar 2016 #90

When did that stop? Kittycat Mar 2016 #76

if anyone knows how to work with and successfully engage Republicans in Congress reddread Mar 2016 #59

Past 8 years can mean only one thing: Obama's term. Dems controlled Congress for at least 2 years berni_mccoy Mar 2016 #61

Bull. Reid himself had this month referred to the GOP "legacy" of obstruction. SunSeeker Mar 2016 #62

Keep trying. Congress doesn't leave legacies. Presidents do. Bill knows this. berni_mccoy Mar 2016 #64

You know you are grasping at straws. nt SunSeeker Mar 2016 #71

Reid mentioned the GOP NWCorona Mar 2016 #68

"Perhaps Bill was pandering" Lizzie Poppet Mar 2016 #87

Rovian "They didn't build that" out of context bullshit redstateblues Mar 2016 #77

Sorry the context is plain to see NWCorona Mar 2016 #80

C'mon, he just misspoke. Waiting For Everyman Mar 2016 #81

Kabuki theater! NWCorona Mar 2016 #82

The meaning behind these words is not mysterious, it simply means Clinton will bend herself into 2banon Mar 2016 #84

There is no way Clinton meant that as a insult to President Obama. DCBob Mar 2016 #91
