Bill Clinton's undisputed crown of Best. Republican. President. EVER!
is in serious jeopardy. It will be hard for the Old Blue Dog to top offering up cuts to Social Security.
Clinton made a good rally for regaining the title when he went back to the Arkansas Democratic Primary in 2010 and campaigned for DINO Blanch Lincoln, the wicked witch of Arkansas who crowed about being "the one who killed the Public Option"
Old Bill got in some good licks ridiculing Organized LABOR and Liberal Grass Roots for supporting a Pro-LABOR, Pro-Health Care replacement for Lincoln.
He was in Top Liberal Bashing Form down in Arkansas,
but he won't be able to top the Obama Cuts to Social Security knock out punch.
The Old Dog should just surrender his crown with dignity,
and fade away.

That was a great explanation and an even better read 
I grew up in New Orleans, and learned to appreciate a good scam that leaves the victim believing he/she got a good deal,
or better yet, leaves them believing they almost WON something.
"Next time, for SURE,"
or
"If we just had 60 votes."
THAT keeps the money pump running.
Low budget Carnivals are a good place to watch fairly benign hustles and scams.
Nobody get hurt really bad as the Roper convinces the High School Jock that he need to spend $40 to WIN the $2 big prize for his sweetheart.
The Most Dangerous and Most Sociopathic Con Men naturally gravitate to Churches and Politics.
The Mega-TV-Churches have always been fertile ground for Con Men,
and, of course, Politics.
But I have never seen ANYONE as smooth as Bill Clinton.
He actually convinced America that competing with Slave Labor Countries for OUR jobs would be a GOOD for us.
Man, THAT was smooth,
completely without conscience, but smooooth.
Credit where credit is due.
He is still at it too.
I had the chance to watch him perform his magic here in Arkansas during the 2010 Democratic Primary. He came to town to rescue DINO Blanche Lincoln's (Senator from WalMart) failing Primary Campaign against Pro-LABOR, Pro-HealthCare Democratic Lt Governor Bill Halter.
He toured the predominantly Black areas telling them that it was important for them to get out and vote for Blanche Lincoln (the Anti-LABOR woman who killed the Public Option) in the Democratic Primary.

Halter came across to me as being quite similar to the Young Bill Clinton, when the latter was running for Congress (1974), state attorney general (1976), and governor (1978). So it was like the Old Clinton was campaigning against the Young Clinton
