Bill Still has his Mojo

Damn, he still has that old Clinton MOJO. It pays to listen to Bill. He certainly proved it during his presidency. And he did know how to meet people half way. Nuff said. 

 

From Huffington Post:

Clinton gave the package his full-throated endorsement, even while noting that he opposes the extension of upper-income tax cuts – though he himself will benefit from it.

“I personally believe this is a good deal and the best he could have gotten under the circumstances,” Clinton said, urging fellow Democrats to support it.

“If I was in office now, I would have done what the president has done,” he said.

Clinton, whose focus on the economy helped get him elected in 1992, said he spends about an hour a day studying up on it and trying to figure out what to do about it. He said the proposal to trim Social Security taxes is the “single most effective tax cut” to support economic activity and create jobs. “I expect it to lower the unemployment rate and keep us going,” he said.

“In my opinion, this is a good bill and I hope that my fellow Democrats will support it,” Clinton said. “I think this is a much, much better agreement than would be reached were we to wait until January.”

So is Bill right or wrong?  Is this the best deal President Obama will get?

Clinton and Bush Interview

MoonHowler

Monday, April 19, Jenna Bush Hager interviewed none other than Bill Clinton.  The 2 shared playful moments as Ms. Hager laughed about her grandfather talking more about Bill Clinton than he did the others.  He quipped back that every family has their ‘black sheep.’  They also discussed Chelsea’s upcoming wedding in a tender father moment.

According to Yahoo News:

Hager – a teacher by trade whom NBC hired last year as an occasional “Today” contributor – thanked Clinton for engaging in the “rarity” of “a Bush interviewing a Clinton.” Clinton joked in response: “I was thinking, you know, if your family fed in questions I’d be cooked.”

“No, no. They love you,” said Hager. “In fact, they joke that you’re my grandfather’s stepson … because he talks about you more than he talks about anyone else in the family.”

This, Clinton noted, would probably make him the “black sheep” in the Bush family.
