(13,108 posts)I thought Hillary was running on president Obama's coattails.
Didn't Bill get the message ???
Bill you have a lot of balls talking about deregulation.
I am so sick of these con artists !!!!

(13,108 posts)Hillary supporter's do not care what it takes to get her in
the White House.
They just don't care !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Facts mean absolutely nothing to them.
I am so sick of this horseshit.
I'm curious what they will say about this. He made it seem like the Bush was even better than Obama.
It's so obvious Bill has a problem with him. Jimmy Carter was right in 2008

They share decades-old same interests.

(2,329 posts)If Donald Trump were running as a democrat and had a shot to win the GE, Hillary supporters would be trump supporters.....and we'd be getting lectures about coming together for Donald and white privilege is the only reason people would skip voting

(8,541 posts)I believe it was his helm that got us past the mess that Bush left us. It wasn't the Republicans.

Never trashed Obama
upaloopa
(11,417 posts)He was talking about 8 years of a bad economy if anyone cares to be honest.
NWCorona

(11,417 posts)What ever helps your narrative I guess
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)Is the last 8 years Obamas legacy or the Republicans? Bill has no problem taking credit for his 8 years
upaloopa
(11,417 posts)No I am not going to play your game
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)I reference the context below. He framed it in a way that Hillary will be a continuation of his administration.
If you don't want to play that's fine but you shouldn't have started if that's the case.

(9,391 posts)A sweeping conclusion based on 25 seconds of video. I would like to see a little more of it to pass judgement.
But even if you examine what Bill says here, he is talking about "awful legacy of the last eight years". Obama has been in office for seven years. It is clear that the legacy Bill is talking about precedes Obama's legacy. Therefore it is very unlikely that he is talking about Obama.
I would expect to find a hack job like this on Breitbart. Please explain why you chose to post it on DU.
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)He said we can all rise for the first time since the 90's.

(3,017 posts)Sorry, I don't think it's going to happen. We've had near zero interest rates for the last 7 years and the good times still won't roll.

Feel free to post the video from a different source to back up what ever point you are trying to make.

(9,391 posts)Still waiting for an explanation how Obama's 7 years in office began 8 years ago.

(14,157 posts)They did the same to a Hillary speech not so long ago. Luckily I found the whole speech and I called them out. They weren't embarrassed, they just deny everything and moved on.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Their true colors are showing.
Bleacher Creature
(11,257 posts)He has no viable path to the nomination, so the only argument for him staying in the race is that he can help shape the issues going forward.
I realize that it's just his online fans doing it (for now), but taking potshots based on out-of-context quotes isn't helping that argument.
Vinca
(50,300 posts)Guess he's far enough away from the southern primaries so he can say what he really thinks.

(8,541 posts)He also talks about trickle down economics in the same breath.
wyldwolf
(43,868 posts)It reads, : NWCorona... trashes Obama's legacy... It speaks for itself
NWCorona
(8,541 posts)And even tho I think he's talking about economic policy not obstruction. I'm willing to hear him explain the comment.

(1,048 posts)What is the full context of what he said? This is shameful GOP tactic stuff. Only they are jumping on it as a way to try and cause a rift between Black support of Hillary and you are no better. DISGUSTING!!
