Bill Clinton tells former aides: ‘We can do this again’-HRC room post

Dana Rubinstein

The economic prosperity that the United States experienced under Bill Clinton can be experienced again, the former president argued on Saturday evening, during a speech in Little Rock.

"We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class," he told an appreciative audience during a cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO, marking the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center.

"This shows the importance of policy," he continued. "We can do this again.”

Than what accrued in the 90s also let us not forget that the excess under Bush were the result of Bill's overturning the Glass–Steagall Act. I for one any tired of the hype on how great the Clintons are, please name one race this year where their support resulted in a victory.

I did not intend to offend anyone just pointing the fact that todays economy is not anything like it was when Bill came into office.

I am in no way Dissing President Obama because he has done a good job of cleaning up the Bush nightmare but Bill & Hillary had to clean up from the Reagan years (who by the way obliterated any chance of balancing the budget). And then there's Bill. He will be a great addition knowing he could be sleeping in the White House again.

NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Since the Obama administration there are still son areas which needs attention. We do nit need another GOP term to tear down what Bill and Barack has accomplished, I think Hillary is very much ul to the task. She will have two former presidents on her side.
