What exactly was Clinton supposed to say? At this point of time, since most people think that Romney is qualified, clinton would look foolish to deny those qualifications. billy jeff is not knowingly going to make himself look foolish. By now we should at least realize that billy jeff is wily politician who if he were running against Romney would win a 48-state landslide (losing only Utah and Idaho).
Don't be shocked if when Bain Capital become an issue later, clinton changes his tune. He can point back to this statement in May to add credibility to his reassessment of Romney's qualifications.
What exactly was Clinton supposed to say? Remember the lesson Rick Santorum never learned. You don't have to answer every question asked.... and Slick knows that very well.
This was a conscious anti-Obama comment on his part.
Be well.
