Bernie Sanders’s Brother: He Backs 'Class Warfare' Bill Clinton Was Worse Than Bush
The Daily Beast ^ | Feb. 18, 2016 | Nico Hines

OXFORD, England - The problem with the Clintons, according to Bernie Sanders's big brother, is that people don't realize what an awful president Bill was. For the most part, Larry Sanders says, that's because people are too busy debating "Is Bill really such a terrible rapist-or is he a nice rapist?"

These are shockingly blunt words from a soft-spoken man, who has been calmly explaining his little brother's sudden political success from his sun-drenched kitchen table in Oxford.

Larry Sanders said he thinks Hillary Clinton's brand of moderate politics is "feeble" but there is no sign of any real hostility towards her-that is reserved for her husband, although Sanders, who has dedicated his life to working with the disadvantaged and disabled, insists that it was the former president who started it.

"Bill Clinton has leapt in to try and make it personal with Bernard," Sanders said to The Daily Beast over a cup of tea. "He was a dreadful president—in general-for poor people."

Clinton was far more culpable for America's woes than is generally accepted by people who blame George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, said Larry.

Clinton was just the beneficiary of cheap oil paid for by our brave men and women under Bush the first. That is why the economy prospered. No one seems to mention this fact.

Leftists think the Clintons are right wing.

This is especially true in England.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction.

Two peas in a pod, at least the other one is Britain’s problem and not ours.

I agree with Sanders on this. It wasn’t as golden as people thought at the time. That’s when Miss Liberty first lost her clothing.

Well if NAFTA is your gripe it wouldn’t exist without Bill Clinton. He’s the one that shepherded it through the Senate. If Bush had been re-elected they would have voted it down out of spite.

At the Bildeberg meeting in 1991 David Rockefeller walked up to Bill Clinton and asked him what he thought about NAFTA.

Clinton replied, “If it’s important to you, Mr Rockefeller, it’s important to me.”

Rockefeller replied, “Thank you, Mr President.”

Sanders said ... "He [Clinton] was a dreadful president in general-for poor people."
That's because he didn't give away enough free stuff to the poooor. He also signed the welfare reform bill.
That's also why you'll hear some blacks say Øbama didn't do enough for them - no reparations and he didn't give away enough free stuff ( free college, houses, cars, etc.,) for "his people."

Larry looks like an elderly lesbian - Mikulsky-esq, if you will.
