Hillary Clinton touted the economic growth seen during the last two Democratic presidencies during a speech before the New America Foundation on Friday, and she warned that the U.S. risks falling behind global competitors if policymakers do not do more to revive the middle class by generating broad-based economic growth.
Clinton, a former secretary of state who's eyeing a presidential bid in 2016, praised both President Obama and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for their economic stewardship. And she contrasted their years in the White House with the tenure of former President George W. Bush, saying eight years of a Republican presidency "taught us different lessons."

America has changed.
It’s NOT the economy anymore, stupid.
It’s the entitlement army!
2012 proved that.
She really did suffer brain damage.
It will be interesting to watch her sell the Obama economy to the masses
Venezuela was better off economically off than any other country in the world...according to Hugo Chavez
Aw too bad. Now at least she can hope for the dementia vote.
Bill Clinton had to work with a Republican House and Senate who kept his collectivist ideas in check. They trimmed Welfare, defense and other expenses, so that with some sleight of hand they could actually point to a balanced budget for a few seconds.
GW Bush had Nancy and Hairy in the House and Senate, and he did not have the courage to stop spending.
Asspress already did this one. They sure get their Journolist orders at the same time.
News flash: W ain’t running
I don’t think it’s brain damage. It’s just natural stupidity.
Wellesley didn’t help either.
Hillary positioning herself against Jeb already...
Marxist Walters is some economist. Clinton left office with a bad recession nobody thought we would survive.
Pray America wakes up
This is Hillary setting the narrative, and the stupid sheeple will go along with this.
See my post. This is all about the RINO mushes...the Bush’s.
Those two remind me of an old vaudeville couple that don’t know when it’s time to leave the stage. It is time.
when these dumbasses swoon over the “clinton economy” there is never a mention of what happened when the dot.com fantasy bubble popped.
I resent the fact that people leave out of the equations the MAIN Factor in moving the economy of the Bill Clinton years was more BILL GATES and STEVE JOBS. Everyone wanted a bigger, faster Internet memory chip, and the dot com companies expanded, people wanted all kinds of electronic gadgets THIS....my friends caused the BUMP...and the spike. It is CONGRESS that authorizes funds, and people should hold the CONGRESS responsible for spending, during the days of Bush it was a DEMOCRAT Congress. Oh well. Keep on living stupid.
His brother is.
