Campaigning with President Obama for the first time, former President Bill Clinton said Sunday night the economy is recovering faster than expected under Mr. Obama and that “full employment” could still be years away.
“If you go back 500 years, whenever a country’s financial system collapses, it takes between five and 10 years to get back to full employment,” Mr. Clinton told supporters at a fundraiser at the home of former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe in McLean, Va. By that standard, he said, Mr. Obama “is beating the clock, not behind it.”
Mr. Obama told the crowd, “You guys get two presidents for one, which is a pretty good deal.”

I think I’m supposed to infer that all the various national economies of the world, decades and centuries apart, have universally recognized features and are directly comparable.
Dementia has definitely set in.
Pretty good deal for "YOU GUYS".
C'mon November. OMG
I always thought Slick Willie could stoop lower than what he has previously demonstrated ... with him, there’s always lower... the kind of guy that looks up to boot scrapings.
Who to believe, Bill Clinton or the Federal Reserve Policy makers? The Fed’s outlook;
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fed-economy-growing-moderately-policy-16211490?page=2#.T5r3fVLDs0Q
“However, the Fed is forecasting slower growth in 2013 and 2014.”
I’ll say he’s “beating” SOMETHING....and it’s NOT a damned clock.
10 years???
Maybe he wants us to change the constitution so he can be in office in 10 years, Just have Patience, It might take a decade before we can judge him. .
The economic dog named “clock”, then he is eatin that tenderized mutt.
It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.
A Bill Clinton BULL$HIT ALERT.
Coming from an impeached President that was too busy having sex with interns to care for the economy which led to the biggest layoff period in history, major inflation, a crashed tech industry and a crashed housing industry, both of which are still hurting our economy, and major energy reosurce reductions due to his policies of selling energy resources to the Chinese, etc.
I could go on and on, but if Clinton says Obama is a good thing then we know he is lying...his lips were moving.
“...it takes between five and 10 years...”
Joe Biden, April 2, 2010:
“Well, I’m here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we’re going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month.”
He's beating something, but it ain't no clock.
I think that there is a good chance that Obama will have to raise the debt ceiling BEFORE the election. This 2.2% 1st quarter GDP growth is a real killer.
Bubba is most likely doing this not as a bootlicker, but out of desire to help Hillary in 2016. I doubt Bubba has really warmed to 0bama, but he knows that if 0bama gets reelected, Hillary gets to run for the presidency as an open seat in 2016, and that’s easier than running against an incumbent Republican. If Hillary didn’t intend to run in 2016, I doubt Bill would do much of anything to help 0bama win a second term.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Oh Bill, Yoo So Funny!!!
