Where exactly is the common ground between Clinton and Obama?
I give you Bill Clinton, the first black President. He is here to sing the praises of the other first black President, Barack Obama. How ironic. How ridiculous.
They are both the first Black President, but that is where the similarity ends.
Did Joe Biden, who warned the crowd in Danville, VA that Mitt Romney would "unchain Wall Street" remember the constraints Bill Clinton lifted from Wall Street, thereby setting up the 2008 debacle?. Maybe Joe doesn't know that the guy who actually did unchain Wall Street is right there on stage. For it was Bill Clinton, at the behest of Robert Rubin, who trashed the safeguards of Glass Steagall and allowed the Insurance, Brokerage and Banking industries to recombine.
And Joe, over there in the convention hall, the former directors of Fannie and Freddie who drummed down the mortgage requirements. Joe, did you notice who unchained the Government Sponsored Entities that are Fannie and Freddie and coerced banks to engage in the Community Reinvestment initiative?
Did the Democrats notice that Clinton also is the person who helped pass Welfare reforms that required some action from the recipient? Those are the same that Obama just carved out.
Clinton did come close to balancing the budget even if it did require closing down and selling off numerous military installations and succumbing to the demands Republican Congress and Newt's contract with America.
Where exactly is the common ground between Clinton and Obama?
Reliance on short term memory loss seems to be the key to the Democrat strategy. Maybe that's why Obama runs to University campuses. Catch them while they are young and pliable.
