Remember the word during the primaries - vote for Obama or Bill Clinton will be back in the WH? |
|
Nobody wanted him within miles of the place making all his sleazy republican-lite deals and screwing the middle class.
Well, we voted for Obama and guess what - we got Bill Clinton back in the White House.
What's next - Obama getting blow jobs from interns?

2. I said that he's a lot like Bubba and NO ONE listened to me. They both want everyone to like them - |

and will find a middle ground between every two sides, no matter how distant or inappropriate.
Folks projected onto him a great progressive image that his track record did not verify.
One mistake we should not make is to have ALL the pressure on the Prez coming from the right. Bubba's reality was weak on the left side as it was a conservative congress. Congress isn't quite so conservative now, so, use it!

6. Under Bill Clinton America experienced the "Greatest Economic Expansion in History" |
|
The last two years of the Clinton Presidency America had NO Deficit The National Debt clock had been shut off for the very first time ever...Now it is such a blur it is unreadable. 22 million jobs were created during the Clinton Presidency. Yep it was simply horrible alright.

8. I do remember and you are correct. |

But we *knew* what Hillary represented: exactly what you described above and exactly what we've seen so far from Obama.
I supported Obama 'cause I thought he was more electable and less well-defined that HC. Therefore... worth a gamble.He MIGHT surprise.
The truth is... we essentially had ideological and philosophical twins running against each other in the late primaries. The only contention between them was "which is worse...Walmart CEO or Rezko"; "Reverend Wright or the made-up "dodging the bullets"" yarn that HRC spun. Assorted nonsense... in other words.
What I see of the Obama era is: Clinton Redux. With a bad economy. That he inherited.
The more things change.....

9. As if Clinton did not inherit a bad economy. |

All I see here is selective Memory loss. Eight years of Peace and Prosperity with the World adoring us and all you guys remember is a blow job.
