Clinton Sparks Campaign Commotion With Comments On Taxes And “Recession”
In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former President Bill Clinton addressed chatter arising from his praise of Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, and pointed out that the loss of thousands of public jobs could have been avoided had Obama's jobs plan passed.
By Tom Curry Former president Bill Clinton roiled the presidential campaign Tuesday with comments in an interview with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo in which he called for continuing all the current income tax rates into early 2013, as opposed to President Obama who wants income tax rates on higher-income people to go up at the start of 2013. Clinton also said the economy is still in a recession.
It was the second time in a week that Clinton had appeared to go “off message” from the Obama campaign and to put distance between himself and the president. In comments on CNN last week, Clinton defended GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney’s role as head of Bain Capital, praising Romney as a man who “had a sterling business career.”
But Clinton said in another interview Tuesday with NBC's Brian Williams that “I’m trying to help the president win re-election because I think he’s done a better job than most people know. I think the health care bill is a step in the right direction... I think his economic policy is dramatically better than the one articulated by Gov. Romney and his supporters."

Yes, the sicko does love it and is actually hurting 0bama because he’s instilling doubt.
He won’t go away until he does himself in with some slut.
Bill must have missed these communists marching in the streets of California
The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right name.
That's what Obama said...

The bald fat-ass (center right) needs the 1st shovel ready job that O-nothing creates. Boy must be forced into a weight loss program with no more 32oz sodas.
A pair of commies.
Clinton does not look or sound well at all. He looks like a guy with cancer, IMO. He may be getting closure to having that involuntary audience with the Almighty and won`t be able to smooth-talk his way out of that one.
Clinton’s thiner and older. He mentioned a while back after his heart surgery that he’s a vegan now. I don’t think a meatless diet is a healthy diet for human beings.
If Hillary was president, they would have a lot of conflict in the white hut. She is as radical and ham handed as Obama.
Absolutely true. Here she is in some polls with a 66% approval rating... how quickly people forget how evil and marxist-leaning that "woman" is.
