Former Presidents Bush, Clinton share laughs in Dallas

"Clinton and I are getting a little long in the tooth these days," Bush said to laughter from the audience.
"This is the one month of the year when he's older than me," Clinton responded.
The two former presidents, sitting next to each other in chairs on a stage, shared wit and wisdom to the inaugural graduation of Presidential Leadership Scholars.
Sixty men and women from across the country spent the last six months in an executive-style education program learning from the former presidents, their administration officials, and scholars and dignitaries. They attended sessions at presidential libraries in Dallas, Austin, College Station, and Little Rock, Arkansas.

Bush, well don't get me started.
Hillary supports what Bill did, and supports MORE H1B visas, fracking, and is against reinstall of Glass Steagal and the $15 min wage.
If you want to see America lose the middle class entirely, vote for Hillary. She will maintain the DLC/3 rd way centrist status quo and protect the corporations & her buddies in the 1%
