Both Clintons are making the case that theirs was a co-presidency -- an echo of Bill Clinton's controversial statement during the 1992 campaign that voters would get "two for the price of one" ....
...the Clintons regard any discussion of the Nineties to be good for them, evoking memories of a booming economy and a time when the United States enjoyed greater popularity around the world.....
For all his talk about the 1990s, though, the former president does not go into great detail about the role his wife played in his administration, instead simply leaving the impression that she was part of the team that brought about the decade's gains....
At times, his pitch for his wife is focused so much on his own accomplishments as president that it almost sounds as if he himself is running for reelection. In a two-hour interview Thursday with the Concord Monitor, he referred to his having made a "terrible mistake" while president, an apparent reference to the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, and then added: "The voters will have to make their own judgments about that. I've done everything I could, first of all, to try to be a good president and, secondly, to try to be a good after-president."

1) Is your Nexus broken? A simple search would show how hard his administration worked to convince us she DID NOT HAVE a "policy role" (after the health care debacle). She was controversial so they repeatedly played her as a "conventional first lady". Now they simply ignore all that and tell us the exact opposite.

2) "...when the United States enjoyed greater popularity around the world". We're going to hear this a lot for the next year. But these reporters can't be bothered to point out the obvious: dire threats were gathering while we enjoyed our "Holiday from History". The MSM is going to let these two portray it as a time when we werent' threatened.
I don't think I can bear a whole year (or more) of Bill Clinton re-writing his legacy. It's just too painful to think about.
They continue to make Michael Savage's point, liberalism is a mental disease.
The clinton legacy: Sex trumps sleep.
The bill clinton lament: So many women, so little time.
The hillary assist (at her staff meeting): Is he done with her? Then ruin her.
“But I have two BIG bones to pick with these reporters:”
I would suggest you email them and personally enlighten them. I have done this many times, and actually had email responses from journalists.
It helps keep them on their toes, knowing that intelligent people are reading their biased and poorly researched opinions masquerading as news.
Churchill, after his years in the political arena, said that history would view him favorably ... for he intended to write it. Clinton is certainly no Churchill by any stretch ... but it doesn't stop this low life from reshaping his putrid legacy at every opportunity.
I wish there were some way for Freepers to pool our resources and get Nexus. I just KNOW there are tons of articles denying she had a policy role.
I’ve written a couple of bloggers to see if they can research it.
Someone should ask Hillary, the "Children are my life" candidate what she did or what she advised her husband in 1994 when hundreds of thousands were murdered in what her husband later declared was indeed genocide in Rwanda.
Bill and Hill even did a skit for the Leno show, where Bill (the POTUS) made Hill a bag lunch and at the end, was filmed running down the White House driveway after a departing limo and yelling, “Honey, you forgot your lunch”.
It wasn’t cute; it was totally dirtball.
The fact that people accept these things about the Clintons, and there is so very much to accept, shows that we have become a coarsened society that is willing to settle for so little.
Hillary Clinton Embraces Her Husband’s Legacy....
monica lewinsky!!!!!
Do we want another co-presidency?
We have become a coarsened society that is incapable of distinguishing good from evil and, in fact, doesn’t really think evil is all that bad.
The best thing Hillary has going for her is her willingness to humiliate herself every day.
Repeat a lie enough times...
Great graphic.. thanks!
One day she's running on experience and the next day she's running on change. She's all over the place with a very inconsistent and confusing message. That's what happened to Al Gore.
He is.
The only difference this time would be that he would be the one throwing the White House China.
“I wish there were some way for Freepers to pool our resources and get Nexus.”
The possibilities for the despised Pajamas Media to go around causing grief for biased reporters is staggering.
There are other sites out there that vet news stories but they don’t have the resources to handle anything but the big stories. Having an army of researchers to do this work would vastly improve the situation.
I’ve also wondered if it would be a good idea to copy the editor of the paper when sending an email to a journalist about how they overlooked facts. Copying someone’s boss is always a good idea when they are incompetent.
One attack after another, one even pulled off by the clinton admin itself, when 85 people were burned to death.
And the economy? On the last day of the clinton admin we were in recession, and a market crash.
