The Rumors About Bill Clinton Are True

[ProfessionalLeftist]

. . .

That’s because even though the Honorable Mr. Clinton didn’t know who I was, he would hold up a long line of well-wishers to address, with passion, his vision of America through the eyes of the public, which is the way he likes to see his country.

“I think what they’re doing is great,” he said. “Occupy Wall Street has done more in the short time they’ve been out there than I’ve been able to do in more than the last eleven years trying to draw attention to some of the same problems we have to address,” he said.

Without once looking around, but completely engaging me, the statesman continued. “There are a lot of young people out there, I see a lot of unemployed students and they are upset, he said. They don’t know where the jobs and opportunities are for them, and they are worried about how they’re going to pay off their student loans without going broke.”

4. The "student loan bubble" is the next big crisis that American's must face.

And we must face it headon, we cannot throw all of those students under the bus because of expensive, out of this world costs that higher education creates. We have to help them if not completely absolve their loans!

6. Agreed...

Pick a date, all of you, and stop paying. What kind of society cripples its own future by hobbling the power of its youth? Slice the funds off the bloated war department budget.

5. Bill Clinton understands dissent is part of a democracy

OWS is a refreshing reminder of that need.

7. Sad, but these days, if you're a Democrat ...

It's much easier to be a good ex-President than it is to be a good President.

Kudos to President Clinton.

8. I have to reply

I loved the man when he was President, not so sure now, a little too close to the bfee to get real comfortable and come to think of it. He was either threatened or he is someone who is someone in the bfee. So with further thought maybe I don't love him after all.

But you know it does make one wonder where his head is when he palls around with poppy as he did there for a while. Not anymore as that would look bad for his wife but my bet is he is still babs favorite son.

9. Welfare "reform", NAFTA, Glass Steagall repeal, expansion of the drug war..

Bill Clinton is no friend of the 99%..

10. Sorry, but this is faux support, coming from the man who deregulated the finance industry,

More than even Reagan, thus setting us up for this mess. Clinton is simply trying to polish his reputation.

11. Technically - it was a Veto Proof Majority

Originally withdrawn because a split along party lines - then resubmitted to the floor and approved by a veto proof majority in both house and senate

Yep - some thing is rotten
