Bill Clinton throws Obama under the bus

'But in talking about the struggles of middle- and lower-class America, Clinton was met with silence when he said President Barack Obama wasn't a "change-maker" like Hillary. He clarified a few sentences later that Obama has had accomplishments, including the Affordable Care Act.

"Yeah, it's rigged," he said, speaking of the financial system, "because you don't have a president who's a change-maker, who has a Congress who will work with him. But the president has done a better job than he has gotten credit for."'

So he agrees that the financial system is rigged - the people funding his wife's campaign are crooks - but thinks Obama isn't a change maker. But his wife who is using the same people in her campaign as Obama and Bill - like the Podesta brothers - she's a big change maker.

Based on what exactly?

Not based on trying to be like a souped up version of Sanders I'd hope. Lol.

More transparent nonsense from the Clintons.

Claims she want to continue where he leaves off. If that's the case, I suspect she's not a change maker either. But that's exactly what the 3rd way-ers want.
