Y'all need to lay the fuck off.

Clinton knows the electorate. And the electorate knows Clinton. And the electorate TRUSTS Clinton on the economy. And he's out there doing the good work.

I spent many years of my life opposing Clinton from the left. I demonstrated against Clinton in San Francisco behind the Iraq Sanctions Regime. My early political activism was AGAINST Clinton economics from the left.

I'M STILL THERE.

But he's doing good work, and he's talking the talk that needs to be talked.

Give the fucking guy a break.

4. there's been about posts about Clinton doing an Obama rally in Florida...
...and of course the usual suspects assuming that Clinton is using that platform to do some sort of subversive campaigning for McCain.

2. Oh geez!
How dare you actually defend Bill Clinton. This is DU and if you're here to read into every comment, look and body posturing that Clinton does and post dozens of times of how it's anti-Obama then WTF are you doing here?

((for those of you who haven't figured this one out - :sarcasm: ))

3. I have always been a fan of Bill Clinton and knew he would
People have let the media drive their views on both Clintons and not seen the real Bill speak.

He can talk for hours on any subject and never pick up a note card.

15. Criticizing someone for giving Phil Gramm a pass is tiresome.

10. He is kicking ass
I was totally wrong about him. It looks like what appeared to me and some others as less than enthusiastic support on TDS, The View etc... was all a setup for these Florida speeches.

Woot im so happy. Hillary 2016 ;)

11. Maybe some posters are too young to remember when he was president
Bill always has been a mealy-mouthed fuck. It seems extremely irrational to me to expect him to be something other than that.
