One among the top tier of President Obama's army of surrogates strikes again. Trying to promote Team O's latest messaging that, why yes, we are indeed shameless enough to actually embrace our economic record and spin it as a positive, President Bill Clinton painted a picture of Americans that was somewhat less than flattering on the campaign trail on Friday, via CBS News:
Campaigning for Obama in Green Bay, Wis., Clinton urged voters to stay the course as more signs of a recovery sink in. Clinton said voters should judge Obama on the past three years, in which private sector job growth has made up for lost ground.
"This shouldn't be a race," Clinton said. "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."
The former president said Obama’s difficulty in his race with Republican challenger Mitt Romney is that “people don’t feel it yet” even as the unemployment rate ticks down and the manufacturing sector perks up.
Oh, of course — but for those damnably impatient Americans who have spent the last few years watching their incomes shrink and gas and food prices rise; who’ve seen their employers dropping health insurance plans; who’ve been unemployed or underemployed for months on end; they just don’t get it. Forget that President Obama employed Keynesian principles that have kept us in the most milquetoast economic recovery since the Great Depression: There are just too many factors outside of his control, for which we shouldn’t blame him, and if we just hike taxes a bit on the wealthiest few Americans (who already happen to shoulder the largest tax burden while providing jobs for others), then we can just take our sweet time reforming our current spending habits while adding trillions to the debt.
But Clinton says that it’s Mitt Romney who “thinks we’re dumb.” Riiiiight.
The problem isn’t Dear Leader. The Peon-I mean People are just not good enough for Him.
It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.
See, it’s the fault of the people. Just like when Pruneface the Traitor ran in 2004.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
Excellent!
Clinton accusing the American voters of premature anti-obamaulation.
Classic “ we know what’s best for you” liberal response.
0bama himself said he’d be a one term president if he didn’t succeed.
Oh yes we DO understand. Wait three weeks, it will all be much clearer then.
The simple fact that Clinton, Obama and the rest of the democrat gangsters haven’t been tarred and feathered or worse is a testament to the patience of the American people.
William J.Clinton would be the second to last person I would be listening too.Obama would be dead last.
AN OLE COWPOKE WHEN RIDIN' OUT FROM OLE SALT LAKE ONE DAY
.... AND
THEN.....
(try this on for size)
HE BECAME PRESIDENT
Says a man who could never delay gratification.
I know, I know.
People are whining about Cardinal Dolan’s invite of Obama to the Al Smith Catholic fundraiser stating that Fulton Sheen would not have dined with Hitler.
Hitler?!
Americans LOVE these two grifters and their equally despotic wives.
They’re Elvis, The Lord, and George Washington, in that order, all in two packages, but Clinton, the indicted, impeached the indellible wins.
When Clinton leaves us there’ll be a tomb of the impeached president complet with guards and wreath laying ceremonies.
No, you’re right. It will be awful.
Yeah, right. In short, substitute STUPID for impatient and there you have the standard Democrat line. Dumb-a$$ Americans just not bright enough to know when they’re well off! Why don’t they trust what Dems TELL them rather than what they see!
He must be bedding Gloria Allred on the side.

I think we already know he’s at least one of those.
