Former President Bill Clinton said he believes President Obama was "shocked" and "disoriented" by the intensity of Republican opposition to his efforts to move the country forward.
Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation" this morning, Clinton also said that speculation over Mr. Obama losing his touch - owing to Washington gridlock - is not the whole story. He said that Republicans who learned during his own presidency that saying "No" can be rewarded at the ballot box are reusing that playbook now, regardless of how such tactics might stall economic growth.
Yet in a telling comment, when asked if President Obama's reelection chances might be improved if the Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives in the midterms, Mr. Clinton said yes.
The former president discussed the current state in Washington, in relation to his own two terms in office; Democrats lost control in Congress after a rise in anti-government fervor in 1994, and yet President Clinton was able to score several major legislative victories with the help of Republicans.
Mr. Clinton said, even before running for president, that Mr. Obama had begun to build friendships among Republicans, and made overtures towards continuing to work in a bipartisan manner.

Not FORWARD - LEFT you idiot!!!!!!!
Revisionist history bull-—t!
Clinton claims the Republicans were the party of “no,” when in fact, he said “no” to a balanced budget, “no” to welfare reform...
The (R)’s pushed it through without his help and when it all worked, he took credit for it. Of course, the Lamestream Media was more than happy enough to credit him, as well.
Ah, why let the truth get in the way of a good story, right?
Losing the House will help Obozo like getting serviced in the Oval Orifice helped Billy Goat’s legacy as a degenerate rapist whoremonger.
Clinton reminds me of the brothel owner in Catch-22, speaking of the Italian fate at the hands of the Allies.
“Their Victory will be their Loss!”
“Our Loss will be our Victory!”
His touch? What touch?? Name one positive thing this Kenyan Kommunity Organizer Kommie ever did.
Man, those ‘rats are spinning November every whichaway.
Some say they aren’t gonna lose... Hilldog says it’ll actually help... some say rebranding will turn things around...
They need to get together on a consistent line of BS! They seem cornfuzed to me.
Hey Bill!
Political models do not persist through all conditions.
When Obama complains that Republicans got in the way of his “fixes”, the Republicans will be able to remind voters that the American people rejected Obama’s proposed remidies and elected them to stop Obama and take back America.
I hate to say it Bill, but everything all of you thought you knew, and think you know now, is no longer a sure thing.
Times are changing. The entrenched political ruling class has lost the people.
This is something they have always feared in more ways than one.
The government should fear the people. Keeps them in line.
Slick Willy demonstrates once again how he got that name.
“move the country forward”
left is not forward
If the rats lose, they will always reinvent themselves.
We can never let them get away with pretending to be anything other than who they are.
Ground Zero is a testament to the policies of William Jefferson Clinton.
But he didn't say no when lewinsky used the dildo on him.
Translation: The Republican congress scored several major legislative victories "IN SPITE OF" Bill Clinton!!!
“His touch? What touch?? Name one positive thing this Kenyan Kommunity Organizer Kommie ever did.”
Well, he SCREWED AMERICA.
He is either quite clever, or America is quite dumb.
Obviously it is the latter.
