Bill Clinton was referring to the "awful legacy" of 8 years of Republican OBSTRUCTIONISM.

My goodness, such right wing nonsense and to think some DUers would fuel this nonsense. Listen to what he was saying. OBVIOUSLY Clinton wasn't trashing the Obama administration whom he has PRAISED time and time and time again. My goodness, that is just ridiculous. He was referring to the "awful legacy" of the last 8 years of Republican obstructionism followed by THEIR Great Recession.

This is just STUPID. Get real folks. Use COMMON SENSE.

Poor Bill Clinton.
I may not like their policies, but I do feel bad for their legacy.
I can see the expiration date and it has already passed.
they will not have the relevance they require to maintain their "foundation"
and so many wonderful charitable causes
like Haiti hotel reconstruction.
people will not be talking about them, except as a punchline.
and then they wont even merit that.
all that power.
gone.

Candidate, but when it comes right down to it, they bash everyone who doesn't support BS. everything in the world is her fault, it's as if the republicans never existed, and that's the stupidity of it. They even hate President Obama now. I have no respect for them anymore.

them?
Is she going to "play" them in a way that Obama just couldn't figure out?

Or is there some secret handshake she has with them that will unleash a flood of legislation?

"Benghazi!" "emailz!" "impeach! Argle bargle! ".." ok sure here's your jobs madame president " :rofl

(which they need to twist the meaning and intent of) all the while Sanders is running on the idea that Obama has left an awful legacy that needs to be corrected.

The other is hating on Barack. Nothing else matters except of course calling themselves the most leftist-liberalist-progressivist of all time while pushing gunz and protectionism

And no, it wasn't "obvious" he wasn't trashing the Obama administration. It sounded like he was. Bill needs a trip back in the time machine to some of his GOP bill signings. That's what has caused so many of today's problems.

13. Bill Clinton blames both Obama and Republican obstructionism for the rigged economy.

"A lot of people say you don't understand that it's rigged now," he said of the nation's struggling economy. "Yeah, it's rigged now, because you don't have a president who's a change-maker, who, with a Congress who will work with him.

To be fair he did add this: "But the president has done a better job than he has gotten credit for, and don't you forget it."
