Clinton says wife is "a world-class genius in making positive changes in other people's lives"
Clinton says wife a 'world-class genius' By HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press Writer
Fri Dec 21, 1:16 AM ET

Former President Clinton says his wife is a "world-class genius" when it comes to improving the lives of others.

Clinton stuck mostly to familiar themes in two hour-long appearances Thursday, describing at length what he views as the nation's biggest challenges. Nearly 15 minutes into his first speech, he added almost as an afterthought that "everything I'm saying here is my wife's position, not just mine."

It was his third trip to New Hampshire in little more than a month, and the visit came the day before Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was to return to the Granite State for two days of campaigning.

Calling the ability to help others the most important quality in a president, Clinton first compared the successes of his administration in creating jobs and other areas to the failures of the Bush administration before finally turning the focus to his wife, a New York senator.

"The reason she ought to be president, over and above her vision and her plans is that she has proven in every position she has ever had in life, whether it was in elected office or not, that she is a world-class genius in making positive changes in other people's lives," he said.

1. I'm sick of Bill Clinton.
And his advocacy for his wife doesn't sway me. It just reminds me that I don't want them back in the White House.

16. I agree. The Clintons and the Bushes have already harmed`
America enough. I hope that there are enough Americans who realize that we need to exit the Clinton and Bush era.

5. Bad, bad Bill! Never praise your wife...never!
Husbands aren't supposed to stick up for their wives when the wife is named Hillary!

9. Nothing wrong with his sticking up for her
but that doesn't mean anyone is obligated to buy into his rhetoric.

10. It also doesn't mean everyone here doesn't ahve to go nuts
when he opens his mouth. It's a knee-jerk reaction to all things Clinton. I'm finding it amusing now.

13. True - But, In Total, Most *Congressional* Dems Voted Against
The vote wasn't rocket science - unless you were angling for a presidential run.

14. Oh, Bill, give it a freaking rest.

We know how desperately you yearn to get back in the White House limelight - but you're making us realize that,
while you may be a "consummate politician," you're not as smart as you think you are...

15. With that line he doesn't have to get her a Christmas present
or a birthday present:

"What more do you want from me Hillary? What else can I say? I said you were a freaki' genius for God's sake! I can't make them believe it.....but I said it okay?"

19. NAFTA was such a world class genius idea that we still haven't recovered from it!
The investor class, which Bill and Hillary Clinton champion so much, saw their investment portfolios bulge with profits. The working class saw their factories close and their jobs go overseas.
