Bill Clinton has some explaining to do. He trashes Obama's legacy

[NWCorona]

Yes this is being posted on less desirable sites but here's just the video. It speaks for itself

[SamKnause]

1. I don't know how anyone can take Bill or Hillary seriously.

I thought Hillary was running on president Obama's coattails.

Didn't Bill get the message ???

Bill you have a lot of balls talking about deregulation.

I am so sick of these con artists !!!!

[NWCorona]

2. Could you imagine if this was Jane Sanders who said this?

[SamKnause]

3. I am sure they can spin it into making it seem like Jane did say it.

Hillary supporter's do not care what it takes to get her in

the White House.

They just don't care !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facts mean absolutely nothing to them.

I am so sick of this horseshit.

[NWCorona]

5. Agreed!

I'm curious what they will say about this. He made it seem like the Bush was even better than Obama.

It's so obvious Bill has a problem with him. Jimmy Carter was right in 2008

[mylye2222]

7. Bill is a great ally to the Bushes and co.

And so is Hillary.
They share decades-old same interests.

[NWCorona]

10. The ties run deep!

[Broward]

8. Well, we all know what running on Obama's coattails was about.

I guess they figure that's not politically advantageous in the upcoming primaries.

[Kip Humphrey]

4. BERNIE'S FAULT! This is Bernie's fault! Bernie should quit right now!

[NWCorona]

6. I can see the cogs turning that way as we speak!

[whatchamacallit]

9. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters to her supporters other than she win.

Sad truth that will fuck us all.

[SamKnause]

18. Exactly.

They make me sick.

[Punkingal]

20. +1

[scscholar]

28. If you don't win...

you can't make a difference!

[whatchamacallit]

32. That assumes the difference is for the good

Not guaranteed in this case.

[Press Virginia]

53. They have no principles

If Donald Trump were running as a democrat and had a shot to win the GE, Hillary supporters would be trump supporters.....and we'd be getting lectures about coming together for Donald and white privilege is the only reason people would skip voting

[whatchamacallit]

55. Before this primary, I'd probably doubt that. Now...

I'm certain you're right.

[Jitter65]

11. He wasn't trashing Obama but rather the GOP obstructionism of the last 8 years.

People, give the piling on a rest...please. Listen to the entire speech. He never trashes Obama.

[NWCorona]

12. Nope! Try again

[upaloopa]

15. Too bad reality doesn't fit your narrative huh?

[NWCorona]

16. So is the last 8 years Obama's legacy or not?

I believe it was his helm that got us past the mess that Bush left us. It wasn't the Republicans.

[NCjack]

19. Hill' needs to put a leash & gag on him. On the net, he is doing her a negative. /nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

51. How many times in one day will they tell this lie about what he said?

[NWCorona]

13. Oh and there is this.

"A few years ago, this guy (Obama) would be getting us coffee."
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/75627-sharpton-bill-clintons-remarks-may-have-been-racist


Never trashed Obama

[upaloopa]

14. Just reading the OP title and past history here I knew this would be out of context.

He was talking about 8 years of a bad economy if anyone cares to be honest.

[NWCorona]

17. Please refer to post #16

[upaloopa]

21. Like I said out of context.

What ever helps your narrative I guess

[NWCorona]

22. I see you didn't answer the question tho

Is the last 8 years Obama’s legacy or the Republicans? Bill has no problem taking credit for his 8 years

[upaloopa]

26. I suggest you listen to the whole speech

No I am not going to play your game

[NWCorona]

29. I did lisen to it. The whole speech actually

I reference the context below. He framed it in a way that Hillary will be a continuation of his administration.

If you don't want to play that's fine but you shouldn't have started if that's the case.

[JaneyVee]

36. Oh jeez. You cant be serious.

[NWCorona]

42. Explain why I'm wrong

[JaneyVee]

44. Because you just linked to Karl Rove's website.

Alert coming in 3...2...1...

[NWCorona]

46. Yeah that's some explanation

[JaneyVee]

48. Something tells me you dont really care about facts.

So I wont bother.

[beastie boy]

23. Nice James O'keefing job.

A sweeping conclusion based on 25 seconds of video. I would like to see a little more of it to pass judgement.

But even if you examine what Bill says here, he is talking about "awful legacy of the last eight years". Obama has been in office for seven years. It is clear that the legacy Bill is talking about precedes Obama's legacy. Therefore it is very unlikely that he is talking about Obama.

I would expect to find a hack job like this on Breitbart. Please explain why you chose to post it on DU.

[NWCorona]

25. If you want you can find the full video online

He said we can all rise for the first time since the 90's.

[highprincipleswork]

33. Yeah. Egotist and senile apparently. In retrospect he gave away WAY too much.

[BernieforPres2016]

47. Hillary is going to get another financial bubble started like the one Bill rode?

Sorry, I don't think it's going to happen. We've had near zero interest rates for the last 7 years and the good times still won't roll.

[beastie boy]

56. And how is this Obama bashing?

BTW, I looked online and couldn't find it. Would appreciate a link.

[oldandhappy]

24. bullhorn billy!!

and to think I used to like him!!

My apologies.

[CalvinballPro]

27. Not even going to pretend like you know what context is, huh? Typical.

[NWCorona]

35. So we've had obstruction since the 90's

The last I checked both the House and Senate changed hands a few times since then.

[1StrongBlackMan]

30. Pro-tip: a 24 second clip offers no context to what is being said.

[Philly-Union-Man]

31. Come on. He's talking about the Republicans.

But he does need to look in the mirror when it comes to bad tax policy and things that have damaged the middle class.

[JaneyVee]

38. He raised taxes on the rich and left a budget surplus.

[riversedge]

34. Shame on you for posting RW crap from American Rising.

[NWCorona]

39. Lol

So Bill's words don't matter cuz his video is hosted on their chanel?

Feel free to post the video from a different source to back up what ever point you are trying to make.

[highprincipleswork]

37. I like his interestingly worded "if you believe WE CAN RISE AGAIN". Subtext maybe?

[NWCorona]

41. I caught that too!

[itsrobert]

40. Wow, Sanders must be getting deperate

He was talking about George Bush last 8 years.

[NWCorona]

43. So that's the new spin?

[itsrobert]

45. New spin?

What the hell are you talking bout?

[beastie boy]

58. The only spin I detect is in the original post.

Still waiting for an explanation how Obama's 7 years in office began 8 years ago.

[hrmjustin]

49. I hope you guys push this because it will only backfire on Sanders.

[itsrobert]

50. They are desperate. Cutting crap out of context

They did the same to a Hillary speech not so long ago. Luckily I found the whole speech and I called them out. They weren't embarrassed, they just deny everything and moved on.

[hrmjustin]

52. This is not about Sanders for them but taking down Hillary.

Their true colors are showing.

[Bleacher Creature]

54. Sanders has one role left to play, and this isn't helping.

He has no viable path to the nomination, so the only argument for him staying in the race is that he can help shape the issues going forward.

I realize that it's just his online fans doing it (for now), but taking potshots based on out-of-context quotes isn't helping that argument.

[Vinca]

57. Wow. He really did trash the Obama years. That's disgusting.

Guess he's far enough away from the southern primaries so he can say what he really thinks.

[JonLeibowitz]

59. Bernie supporter here: pretty sure he is talking about the GOP.

[NWCorona]

61. I think he's talking about economic policy

He also talks about trickle down economics in the same breath.

[wyldwolf]

60. YOU have some explaining to do. Your OP says YOU are trashing Obama's legacy

It reads, : NWCorona... trashes Obama's legacy... It speaks for itself

[NWCorona]

62. That's your opinion

And even tho I think he's talking about economic policy not obstruction. I'm willing to hear him explain the comment.

[wyldwolf]

63. It's a fact. Your OP is there for all to see

[UMTerp01]

64. When only the GOP is attacking this there's a problem

What is the full context of what he said? This is shameful GOP tactic stuff. Only they are jumping on it as a way to try and cause a rift between Black support of Hillary and you are no better. DISGUSTING!!
