Clinton to slam GOP for creating 'total mess,' trying to blame Obama

Former President Bill Clinton, who will address the Democratic National Convention tonight, told NBC's Brian Williams why he feels President Obama needs to be reelected.

Former President Bill Clinton is set to eviscerate Republicans for being responsible for policies that led to the 2008 economic meltdown - and yet wanting voters to put them back in power.

“In Tampa the Republican argument against the president's re-election was pretty simple: We left him a total mess, he hasn't finished cleaning it up yet, so fire him and put us back in," Clinton will say. “I like the argument for President Obama's re-election a lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a more modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators."

Recommended: Clinton: No one could have restored economy to full health in 4 years

He will also tout the president's vision for the country.

“The most important question is," Clinton will say, "what kind of country do you want to live in? If you want a you're-on-your-own, winner-take-all society, you should support the Republican ticket. If you want a country of shared prosperity and shared responsibility -- a we're-all-in-this-together society -- you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”

Just a couple of Points on this Next Presidential Debate:

It should be held under a Circus Tent.

Mitt “Profits over People” Romney should not be wearing “Flip Flops”

Every Time Mitt “Profits over People” Romney says something like, “Corporations are People Too.” A couple of Midget Tea Billy’s should come on Stage and Kick him in da N u t z.

Lets Put Shock Collars on all Candidates and every time they talk about anything but Jobs and the Economy....just Zap them.

Cain, Palin, Bachmann, O’Donnell and Perry should be Dressed as Clowns and
be riding around on Unicycles, Elephants, go carts etc.

Oh yeah…..Bachmann should be on a Loud Speaker Screaming….”Babies
and Gawd…….Babies and Gawd’ every 30 Seconds.

You BetCha….Fer Sure.

Ratings information. Day one, Democrat National Convention: NBC, down 24% from 2008. ABC, down 36% from four years ago. CBS Democrat National Convention coverage was down 45% from the same night four years ago.

No one will hear Clinton tonight, the Giants and the Cowboys play and who wants to hear about 16 years ago. Clinton is not president and Obama won't be after the November election.

    NAFTA which resulted in all those manufacturing jobs going overseas.

    On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico (NAFTA) entered into force.

            Of course they will attack the Republicans. What else can they do? They don't have a record to run on. Even Monica Lewinsky isn't supporting the Democrats this time around. She says they left a bad taste in her mouth.

Look at it like this, is this the future yu want to leave your grandkids?? "The federal budget sent to Congress last month by Mr. Obama, projects the National Debt will continue to rise as far as the eye can see. The budget shows the Debt hitting $16.3 trillion in 2012, $17.5 trillion in 2013 and $25.9 trillion in 2022."

              Now that I have time in semi-retirement to do a little searching at public libraries (I trust written on paper words most), watching documentaries mainly on H2 (was History 2, History International) and National Geographic channels, the we'll way POSSIBLE conspiracy trail of the republican party and some fed gov organizations has gotten so long and some so close to unraveling for the truth that if you see what I have seen, you would have no doubt that they have a master plan to rule the world and use the economy to keep about 100 million Americans on the edge of personal destruction (call it "non-violent genocide" or slavery in disguise). Oh, the possible repub conspiracies, start at Roswell/UFO/ET secrets, JFK assination investigations they have not supported, Iran-Contra selling arms to Iran for supporting Nicuaragan rebels fight against socialism (note that the Ayatollah of Iran did not release the hostages that Carter worked so hard to get released until the second that Reagan took his oath swearing in, they must have like Ron a lot more in Iran for some reason), 9/11 Truthers stuff....so repubs IF you do pull conspiracies like setting up future dem leaders for failure at the expense of hurting America on purpose, you are doing a bad job covering things up and are creating work for conspiracy writers/theorists.

                      Clinton to slam GOP

                      Of course he will. What else do you expect him to do? Talk about Obama's record?

                      I think most intelligent people recognize by now that Obama can't run on his record of failure. But a less-recognized corollary of that is that he can't fool the people with grandiose-sounding promises anymore either. Imagine Obama giving a campaign speech now saying: "Elect me and I will close Guantanamo within one year!" or "Elect me and I will cut the deficit in half by the end of my next term" ... If he tried those lines on us again, he would be laughed off the stage.

                      He can't run on his record, he can't run on his lies and empty promises. So how can he run? Attack, attack, attack ... That's all the Democrats have left.

                      What he meant: "If you want a country just like Bolshevik Russia where only the bureaucrats and politically elite have anything and you are responsible to them - - - a we're-all-in-this-for-the-government society --- in other words change what the founders intended to one that Marx intended-- you should vote for Comrade Obama and Comrade Biden."

                      Also, Senator Dodd, Ferank & Reid were MAJORLY responsbile as the yFAIELD to rpovide oversight or "alarms" for the Finance & Housing Crises that hit our country. Every human having a brain KNOWS that one past President or party did NOT cause this mess. The Democrats have a big big hand in this MESS.
