Somebody ought to wipe that smirk off his face and knock that chip off his shoulder.

Interesting that he felt the need to proclaim his innocence after 8+ years of being out of office.

There’s plenty of reason to blame him, and he knows it.

Clinton never heard about that “former presidents shut up” rule.

“...But Bill Clinton doesn’t think any of it should fall on his shoulders...”

Almost correct. Should be “But Bill Clinton doesn’t think.”

This asshat must have a lot of guilt!...He’s always saying none of this happened on his watch! Maybe he simply forgot what with all the times he had to deal with finding new interns.....

My first big hit on 401k came in 2000 under his watch - and then it continued.

My thoughts exactly.

If the left can blame President Bush for Clinton’s problems, then we can blame Clinton for Clinton’s problems.

And when is the President going to turn Clinton over to the ICC for trial on war crimes charges anyway?

And I distinctly remember his DOJ threatening banks here in Atlanta if they did not stop redlining and forced them to basically make stupid loans.

Sorry, Bubba: 'doubling down' on enforcement of the CRA and the beginning of the Fannie/Freddie subprime mess happened on your watch.

The 'Toon is lying through his teeth, but what else is new ...

problem is he’s saying he should have regulated the markets more, he and his ilk are saying that bigger and more intrusive government would have prevented this mess. He’s not attacking the GOP, he’s attacking Reagan and the conservative small government philosophy. We need to find examples of him increasing government scope and influence which caused these problems.

They did the same thing in Cleveland, Ohio back in the late '90's when I still lived there. "Redlining" - that's the PC word for "not lending to deadbeats in bad neighborhoods".

So yes, it started before Bush. Unfortunately, he didn't fight it. He should not have pushed the "ownership society" beyond the realm of credit-worthy buyers, and he should have gutted all the commies out of the Justice Dept.
