Bill Clinton back to dissing Obama?

[Skwmom]

“This election is being fueled by the anger of people who feel left out,” he said, aping one of Sanders’ key thrusts.

And, with a bit of dramatic timing, then he added that one of those groups of people were “working-class Americans who haven’t gotten a pay raise — well, many of them since the day I left office.

The guy who gave us NAFTA and WTO really wants to go there?

Pay raise Bill? Try pay cut - that's if they are lucky enough to have a job.

1. He does not have the traction he once did.

The president has been very obedient to clinton. If he wants his wife to win, why diss another Dem? I used to like him. Past tense.

2. It is not Obama's fault that Congress won't authorize a pay raise.

Obama's not a king.

Clinton (who had the job himself) understands this.

Why would anyone take that comment as "dissing" anyone but the GOP-controlled Congress? I think the implied thrust of his remarks, if there were any beyond riling up the base, were that his wife has the talents to wrangle that Congress. I didn't see any criticism--overt or implied--in his remarks with regard to Obama. I think that's a wishful interpretation, at best.

Are you seriously trying to claim that Clinton is suggesting Obama wouldn't sign a pay raise bill if it appeared on his desk? I don't think that's accurate at all, so I hope you're not suggesting that.

smh.

5. "Two white-haired politicians — Bernie Sanders and Bill Clinton — call a California truce"

... as both men coursed across Southern California over the weekend, something new was evident, something that seemed, perhaps temporarily, like detente.

Gone were some of Sanders’ harshest condemnations of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, and Bill Clinton’s tenure in the White House.

Gone too was Bill Clinton’s occasional belittling of the Vermont senator's policy proposals.

Each man appeared to be pulling his punches this weekend in deference to the fraught period of the Democratic presidential primary.
