Clinton: Prez Race Only Close Because 'Impatient' Americans 'Don't Understand' Economy's Improving
News Busters ^ | 10/20/12 | Noel Sheppard

The only reason the presidential race is close is because Americans are too impatient and don't understand that the economy is actually doing better than they feel it is.

So said former President Bill Clinton at an Obama campaign event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Friday.

According to the Associated Press, Clinton told about 2,200 Obama supporters, "This shouldn't be a race. The only reason it is is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don't understand why the economy is not totally hunky-dory again."

In Clinton's view, despite improvement in the unemployment rate, "people don't feel it yet."

Maybe the reason "people don't feel it yet" is because millions of Americans are still unemployed or under-employed, and the headline statistics out of the Labor Department don't accurately reflect what's really going on in the nation.

Not surprisingly, Clinton didn't say that, but instead told the assembled, "Gov. Romney acts like from the minute the president took his hand off the Bible he was responsible for every lost job."

Well, that is what happens when a new captain takes over a ship, isn't it?

Got it, Bill. The reason the election is too close is because the electorate is stupid.

Check.

And you didn’t have sex with that woman.

Didn’t Clinton say Obama was the biggest fairy tale?

Maybe they understand if Obama is re-elected, he’d tax the economy to death.

The economy is improving slowly and slightly, IN SPITE of Obama - not because of him.

You can only keep Americans down for so long - they will fight to get out from under, as will Canadians and free people everywhere. Without the restraints of the Obama “hope and change”, the economy would be booming.

Tell it like it is Bill. Out here in Realsville, the change in the unemployment rate is nill.

You're a smart guy Bill. I bet it burns your ass big time to have to promote such an empty suit. That must be some powerful stuff he has on you or your wife.

America’s survival depends on the impatient demands of our citizens. We don’t have time to be patient ... we need help NOW.

Yep, just like the reason that gas prices have gone up is because the economy collapsed.
