Former President Bill Clinton claimed on Thursday that one of the main reasons Republicans are expected to perform so strongly in the upcoming midterm elections is their willingness to capitalize on the lingering effects of the 2008 economic recession.

"Here's the important thing. As a nation we're back to ground zero, we're back to where we were. We got all of our jobs back," Clinton declared at an endorsement event for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

However, after ticking off quarterly growth statistics, Clinton said, "People don't feel it yet."

Clinton said the Republican Party realizes this is "their last time" to press a message of economic gloom and doom.

"We are now in the position to define how we're going forward. And the reason all these elections all over the [country] are being so hotly contested is that our friends in the other party think that this their last time to cash in on the misery of the American people," he argued.

And don’t forget about Mooch!

Heck, Carter pops up about once every 3 months to bash Jews or to say something equally offensive/insane. Just DIE already.

Sooooooo tired of paying for you, 40 years on!

Gee. It’s almost as if...elections MATTER! ;)

Moron. "As Democrats, we're EXPECTED to make Americans miserable. It's not like there's supposed to be electoral consequences for our incompetence and the fascism we dish out. Who works for whom here anyway?"

The anecdote of the child who murders his parents and then asks for mercy because he’s an orphan comes to mind.

There used to be a time when Presidents retired and lived a quiet life, then along came (on a blue dress) Clinton. Carter I get, he’s just happy Obama is in office and dancing on O’s political grave.

Right on. I certainly recall Clinton etal continually
claimed in ‘92 that the previous 12 years (Reagan and
Bush 1) were the worst for the US economically since
the Great Depression.

We got all of our jobs back," Clinton declared

And just about everyone in that audience (Democrats all) knew this to be a bald-faced lie.

Impeached pwesident Sink Master speaks! And who asked him?
Go away you scalawag, and take your masculine half w/ you!

The situation was the same his last, disgraced year in office:
no ‘rat wanted his support. Like Obambam, he was radioactive.

But watch ... in two years the GOP e will find a way to fail.
