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?

LOL! Photobucket
I'm sure Slick Willie knows he's stretching it a bit, and he also knows the audience at that campaign event are stupi-...I mean...patient enough to buy the Fool-Aid he's selling. He's good at that.

He also thought the POTUS having oral sex in the White House with an intern is a private matter. Mostly, he thinks Democrats should be unaccountable.

BJ’s a little confused because his economy improved in spite of him. The books he cooked were so delicious demRATS ate every bit of it.

I can’t believe Slick is this dumb. He has to be deliberately saying this just to sabotage the campaign for Hillary’s benefit.
