pols of the last century by a flea nipping at the heels of someone who has probably never heard of her.

I trust Clinton over Hamsher any day of the week. Clinton may be out supporting Obama on this, but at least he doesn't have his nose up Grover Norquist's ass.

What would Clinton say in response? "I think everybody should get the benefits of the cuts, but I'll make sure all of my relatives don't, just so Hamsher will be happy"?

14. I tend to focus on the 23-million jobs created under Clinton.
My salary went from the mid-$20k to $150k during the Clinton years.

Wish I had that salary now - it's taken a beating since bush took office.

Yep, Clinton was THE MAN AFAIK.

6. What a dumb question. I think Clinton would happily support the deal even if it contained an
exemption for him and anyone related to him.
