Story highlights

Hillary Clinton appears on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Los Angeles
She says Bill Clinton's comment was more about President Obama facing "implacable wall of hostility from the Republicans"

Los Angeles (CNN)Hillary Clinton said Thursday that Bill Clinton was "obviously" not knocking President Barack Obama when he said earlier this week that electing the former first lady would "put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us."


Clinton, while appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Los Angeles, said that the former President's comment was more about the fact Obama has "faced this implacable wall of hostility from the Republicans."

"It wasn't. It was obviously not a knock against Obama," Clinton said. "I mean, he nominated President Obama for his second term, and we are both very proud supporters of President Obama."
She continued, "What it was was the recognition that President Obama, who I think doesn't get the credit he deserves for getting as much done in our country, has faced this implacable wall of hostility from the Republicans."


Clinton has been a regular on late-night talk shows while running for president, and this was her second time speaking with Kimmel...............
