Bill Clinton Defends John McCain’s Debate Decision– Blames Dems For Meltdown!
stop the aclu ^ | Nitya Venkataraman

Going very much against the media meme that the current financial crisis is all George W. Bush and the Republicans’ fault, Bill Clinton on Thursday told ABC’s Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been “resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” True. President Bush warned about reforming Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae 17 times this year alone. John McCain’s reform bill was blocked by dems in 2005. Thank you, Bill Clinton!

A sure sign we’ve reached rock bottom (or hard left): When Bill Clinton is actually the voice of moderation and reason.

How hard will it be for the media to throw Clinton under the bus?

Seriously think about that, to the left, Billy Boy is their hero, they basically throw their panties up on stage when he’s speaking.

But now he’s speaking out against the messiah, the media can’t have that. Not from someone as high up in regard as Clinton.

So, can the media get rid of him, clean the political dialogue of his comments, or are they forced to report and give him media time, for being Bill?

Uh..so he climbed over Congress, and brought this to the public, or did he veto CRA?

No? Didn't think so.

It's because of the press spin. All the networks have spun this as a GOP mess cleaned up by Pelosi and Reid.

Well, his famous pointy fingers never did learn to point at himself (I’ll be kind and chalk that up to human nature) .... still he’s right about the others.

I honestly don’t think it has as much to do with where WE are standing, but where Obama is standing. If he wins in November, Hillary has no shot in 2012.

The thing is — it has been said that Bill Clinton HIMSELF proposed some kind of oversight when he was President. That was shot down by his own party. It could be a case of “payback” and “I told you so”...

Obama simply says...Hey, it wasn't me...I wasn't part of the establishment. Remember. I was just a Community Organizer...

which leads us right back to rabble rousers....Rev. Wrong and Jesse Jackson

The the Clintons want McCain to win then it suggests to me that they believe that the tough times are only getting started.

My armchair prediction, no matter who wins this election Hillary will not be a factor come 2012.

If you'd like to get a "dose" of just how the looney left is responding to him, check out DUh...they've got a few threads going and the things they are saying about him are really eye-opening. They're bouncing off the walls over there, but then again, that's a daily occurrence for them.

They don’t want Obama to win because Hilary wants to run in four years.
