When Bill Was President - Clinton evokes Bill during speech to 200 in NH

Hillary: 'When Bill was president'

MANCHESTER, N.H. —

In a morning speech on economic development, the former First Lady pointedly referred to “when Bill was president” as a time of greater economic fairness and governmental competency, and said Bush administration policies have reversed the federal surplus and middle-class wage gains achieved during Bill Clinton’s presidency

“We can return to many of the principles that guided us then,” she said.

Clinton said she would eliminate tax breaks that she contend encourage companies to transfer jobs overseas, scale back on subsidies to oil companies, expand the earned income tax credit to lift the working poor out of poverty and create more jobs by pursuing national energy independence.

Clinton’s midweek visit drew modest crowds, in contrast with the mosh-pit energy generated by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, her chief rival, during a Granite State campaign swing over the Memorial Day weekend.

Clinton gave her economic policy speech before a crowd of some 200 people in a technical high school, then greeted lunchers at Martha's Exchange, a restaurant n across Nashua’s Main Street from a satellite office of Republican Sens. John Sununu and Judd Gregg.

1. Why shouldn't she...?
Bill was a great President...and Hillary is the one person that can legitimately lay claim to the legacy!!!

Sounds like a solid idea to me

2. Agreed! Moreover, I love how Sen. Clinton has put an emphasis on
doing what we know works. When speaking on certain issues, she'll sometimes say 'we already know what works...'

In other words, using common sense and putting into practice what we have already found works.

Her husband's economic policies clearly worked during the 90's. I say it's time we return to those policies.
