The diffence between Slick Willy and The Great Spreader is the difference between a con man and a true believer. Clinton, while a liberal at heart, probably thought most lib ideas, especially about economics, were nonsense. Of course he was right. So he put his finger in the air and turned where the wind turned him.

Obama actually believes that the lib nonsense is true. He is reluctant to turn his back on the Marxist principles he holds so near and dear. That's what will kill his chances for a second term. Undoubtedly there are semi-sane Dem insiders who are pleading with him to loosen his iron grip on the economy. Bill Clinton was more than happy to abandon the principles he never had. Obama, not so much.

clinton raised taxes because he wanted to get rid of the deficit. Obama wants to raise taxes to punish people and couldn’t care less about the deficit.

Exactly right.
