Bill Clinton leads rally, mocks Romney



Transcript:
They all got together and said, "Hey Mitt, this ship is sinking faster than the Titanic. But people are still frustrated by the economy. They want it fixed yesterday. So just show up with a sunny face and say, 'I didn't say all that stuff I said the last two years. I don't have that tax plan I had for the last two years. You gonna believe me or your lying eyes? Come on!'"

It's heartbreaking. Because it really broke their hearts that unemployment dropped. I want a president and a Congress that loves it when unemployment drops. I want people that believe that putting people back to work is just as patriotic as supporting our troops in uniform.

Hillary and Bill, of course. Every time he speaks he cheers people up. Hope O's team is taking notes. Heck, even RR are trying to sponge off The Big Dawg's charisma.

I LOVED it when he said this: I want a president and a Congress that loves it when unemployment drops. I want people that believe that putting people back to work is just as patriotic as supporting our troops in uniform.

because he would mock him like he did here and like Ted Kennedy did in the clip in this thread. Romney would eventually go ballistic. That's what needed to take Mitt Romney out. I wonder is there is some way to arrange the two to meet in a public way.

he'd still be president, we'd still have a surplus, and we sure as hell wouldn't have been successfully breached on 9/11/01.

"I want people that believe that putting people back to work is just as patriotic as supporting our troops in uniform."


I haven't heard of Obama makiing the case to voters to vote out every Republican because of all the damage they have done in fighting him and thus have reduced the recovery. This would give him a chance to talk about the GOP's War on Obama which he seems very disinclined to do.

It's past the time to do more than dream, more than movies and fantasy, more than science fiction. We now know that at the main switch board of the ship there's a knob that control a few others and is labeled 'economy-economic system'

How can that be dealt with without hurting some 'richies' piece of the pie? they want it all, money, prestige, somebody else's ideas, slaves, hell even our minds if they could.

If the money in circulation is fixed the economy can't grow, neither the population, so that main knob has to be reset to REAL WORLD.

No one else delivers a line with such pitch-perfect timing and inflection. The man is a GENIUS.
