Hillary Clinton Calls for Bill Clinton to come out of Retirement ...

Last edited Wed May 4, 2016, 08:40 PM - Edit history (1)

Published on May 3, 2016

At a campaign stop in Ashland, Kentucky, on Monday (May 2), Hillary Clinton said she told her husband, former President Bill Clinton, he would have to come out of retirement to work on her jobs and manufacturing plan if she became president. Clinton made the statement at an intimate meeting in a restaurant with the leader of a local steel workers union and several of some 600 workers who were laid off when AK Steel Holding Corp announced in October that it would idle one of its furnaces amid a supply glut and lower steel prices. Her decision to embark on a two-day Appalachian tour is in part timed ahead of Democratic nominating contests in West Virginia on May 10 and in Kentucky on May 17 as she seeks to secure the nomination before the party's July convention.

He did enough to our manufacturing jobs already, not much of it left. Thanks Bill.

I have to hand it to the Hillarians. Up until a year ago it was all, "two for one". I haven't seen that turd sandwich in a while.

we don't want independent and unaccountable people. Especially someone who obstructed justice and was impeached.

We also don't want a president who claimed TPP was the gold standard in free trade deals.

Since Bill is going to be doing so much work in her administration perhaps she should choose him as her VP.

And, if she needs his help...then what does that mean about her "Strong Powerful Women" message?

She's attached to him. And, it wouldn't matter if there wasn't so much "Background" with these two.

Sadly...what she says is always "Revised" and her as an Achieving Single Woman is "Blown out of the Water" when she ran into trouble with the West Virginia Coal Miners. Then, it was time to Bring Bill In!

I voted for Bill Twice...I've rued the days. Now that I've seen and lived through his/her Legacy.

As private citizens - counting their millions - earning EIGHT YEARS worth of median income in an hour at some podium. And of course, artfully hiding that income overseas!

Just like they were SO broke when they left the White House. Shit - I'd LOVE to know what that level of "broke" feels like.

was doing so well for them and Chelsea and their Grandchild and the new one, on the way?

What were they trying to conceal by putting themselves through Another Election when Life was SO GOOD for the Whole Family?

"Running for their Lives" from Lawsuits?

all that's left to enlarge is your EGO. Look at the Kochs. They could never raise another FINGER - but they do.

"Bill has more ideas a minute." Sure does! Great message! So looking forward to working to get her elected.

Love. Love. Love her!
