Bill Clinton: America Is “A Mess” Because Of The Tea Party…
Or something.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton says in a new book that last summer’s political fight over raising the U.S. debt ceiling made the nation look “weak and confused” overseas and he doesn’t know why President Barack Obama didn’t seek a hike in the limit when Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress.
He says the final deal did little to create jobs or solve the longer-term debt crisis.
In his book, “Back to Work,” Clinton analyzes the factors that contributed to the nation’s current economic woes and offers several policy prescriptions he says would create jobs and make the U.S. more competitive. While he generally praises Obama for taking steps to mitigate the financial crisis and deep recession, he also gently dings the president for poor communication and strategic misfires.
The book is scheduled for release next Tuesday by publisher Knopf. The Associated Press bought a copy on Thursday.
Clinton, a Democrat, describes the current state of the country as “a mess” and largely blames the anti-government sentiment embodied in the tea party movement that has held sway since the 1980s. But Clinton also criticizes Obama and other Democratic lawmakers for not making a stronger case for the steps they took to stabilize the U.S. economy in 2009, like the bank and auto company bailouts and the $787 billion economic stimulus program.

E.T. phone home!
Put your pecker away and just go away you dickhead.
Go stick your cigar in someone’s p-ssy. Dumbshit.
Blame the messenger. Anything but coming to grips with unsustainable budgets.
If that’s what you believe, Billy boy, just wait 12 months and see what happens.
If he’s referring to Cain as the Tea Party, he’s right.
Bill, you need to lay off the Viargra!
Sure, sure Billy. I mean, some of that anti-government sentiment could never be caused by say, some famous politician not practicing what he preaches. Depends on what your definition of is, is I suppose.
Some animals are total “minstrelsy” pigs without any evidence, others are untouchable and should be given blow jobs to keep abortions legal.
Thanks Bill,
Don’t call us we will call you…………not.

Doesn’t he mean the “Occupy Wall Street movement?” Because the Democrats have been saying for weeks now that the OWS is exactly the same as the Tea Party.
Askeered of the tea party BJ? Commies are so obvious, light on subtlety, always quick to reveal who/what gives you the vapors.
Slick looks really fucking dumb peering over those half glasses; like Carl Levin without the obnoxious comb-over.
NO! NO ! NO!…..America is a mess just like that BLUE DRESS as a result of you….you spunky white guy
“the anti-government sentiment embodied in the tea party movement that has held sway since the 1980s.”
Uh, riding the coattails of the Reagan supply-side boom of the 1980′s is what allowed your presidency to be considered by many to have been a success, BJ.
Unfortunately subsequent Regimes botched it all up with brilliant stuff like the CRA, and here we are. Good work pal.
Hey, give Billy Bob a break. After all, he couldn’t possibly have much of a brain after being married to that freak he’s married to. Same goes for Bammy.
HUH ?? I thought the country was in the condition it’s in because f GW Bush,Cheney and Halliburton ??!! Go figger.
We are anti-corrupt government, so if that’s what he means…we ruined their plan to ruin the country faster
Can you believe these people lately??? Have we entered another dimension? Sheeesshh..
Come in here dear boy, have a cigar.
If the Dems hate what the Tea Party, and conservatives are doing, then we are on the right track.
“Clinton also criticizes Obama and other Democratic lawmakers for not making a stronger case for the steps they took….”
———-
They STILL think this is about messaging.
.
Will Bill ever peter out. Shifty sombitch….
Cardiac surgery and subsequent meds that need to be taken can play havoc with clear thinking.
BJ Clinton lost all credibility when we learned he had a chubby intern under his desk. He would do well to fade into the background of history. He will always be remembered as a laughingstock. Except in the Democrat Party, where, along with Chappaquiddick Ted, and sex-poodle Gore, he is an icon.
Is it any wonder that Bill is confused?
His leadership is part of the problem.

Smoking-Gun Document Ties Policy To Housing Crisis

President Obama says the Occupy Wall Street protests show a “broad-based frustration” among Americans with the financial sector, which continues to kick against regulatory reforms three years after the financial crisis.

Rewind to 1994. That year, the federal government declared war on an enemy — the racist lender — who officials claimed was to blame for differences in homeownership rate, and launched what would prove the costliest social crusade in U.S. history.
.

For the first time, Washington’s bank regulators put racial lending at the top of their checklist.
.
.
.
“Applying different lending standards to applicants who are members of a protected class is permissible,” it said. “In addition, providing different treatment to applicants to address past discrimination would be permissible.”

As IBD first reported in July, Attorney General Eric Holder has launched a witch hunt vs. “racist” banks.

Would someone please flush this turd?
A guy from 8 years of a crappy Presidency tells us that people that have only been organized a couple of years have ruined the economy that has been screwed up since the 70s.
Just making sure Im hearing him correctly.
Bubba knows nothing of what he speaks……never has…..never will. All he is or will be is a ……..bubba.
How can they make a stronger case for the bailouts and stimulus when they didn’t fucking work, dumbass? Go find someone else to cheat on your wife with, you perjury-committing piece of shit.
Drop Dead Bill. God Damn, why dont these ex politico’s just go the fuck away.
Clinton sounded more intelligent when he was claiming a (non)sexual relationship with a chubby intern and a box of cigars.
But he did manage to give us a new term for oral sex and a spectacular demonstration of Leftist obfuscation with the word ‘is’.
So how did a lying, cheating, sexual predator resurrect as an elder statesman? Only in America.
Clinton got it exactly backwards…
The Tea Party is because of America’s mess.
If gov’ts could create substainable jobs, we all would be knocking on the doors of NKorea and Cuba.
You know that old saying about how, after a certain age, you get the face you deserve? Yowza.
“Bill Clinton: America Is “A Mess” Because Of The Tea Party…”
Yep. And Monica’s dress is a mess because of you.
@ohio: The Left just seems to be able to elevate their icons past the image most of us can’t shake. Their leaders are white-washed and polished in the blatantly biased media. Entertainment industry stars are more often than not flaming moonbat leftists and are useful tools in blurring the truth about creeps like Clinton, Edwards, Kennedy(pick one or two), Weiner….Revisionist history and disinformation is their religion. That’s how a slime-trail like Clinton can ‘rise’ to the level of elder statesman. It’s beyond me how any moral person can take him seriously.
This country needs a LEADER. Not a whiner, not a deflector, not an apologizer; A LEADER. All of the resources needed for American Greatness already exist, and have been utilized wisely in the past, but without someone with a strong hand on the capitalistic ship’s wheel it founders. The ’08 crowd did not elect such a person. But the ’12 crowd WILL.
VOTE – 2012
Not anti government but anti BIG government, Dingbat.
I hear that syphilis does strange things to the mind.
Go away STAIN!
This guy is sure stirring up a sloppy crock of shit as he gets older.
Haha. The Tea Party got started only after America became a so called mess.
“I had nothing to do with selling missile technology to Iran” except I did make sure China got missile technology as part of my personal global initiative fund raising…and they may have something to do with it…
How much do you want to bet that their big, stupid, andi-Anerican plan is to wait for another Tea Party event and unleash their Black Blocers and flea-bitten magot occupiers on them? They have rustled up a force of lefties. Not a pleasant thought.
America’s decision to commit crimes against me was a very poorly made decision. I had no choice but to bring the country down.
Sorry, don’t listen to or associate with lying whore mongers.
The despicable Klintoons:
never met a terrorist they didn’t like, funded by Soros, Fetullah Gulen and the Sowdis, he said ‘the (muhammad) cartoons should have never been printed; Shrillary signed up to the OIC’s efforts to do away with freedom of speech, bombed the Christian Serbs to establish 3 Narco-Jihad statelets smack in the middle of Europe…. the list goes on…..
Marxist loons, traitors to America, traitors to the free world.
If I had a say they both would get the electric chair……
Clinton is nothing more than a shit-wipe
Bill…STFU! Find some new nubile interns and start “passing
out cigars” again. Your moral standing is as firm as Jello.
….spend a night with “Rock Star” Hillary (if you can stand it)
and report to us in the morning about marital bliss.
The Clintons – trailer trash, always have been and always will be.
“…anti-government sentiment embodied in the tea party movement that has held sway since the 1980s.”
The TEA Party was awakened in 2009 and took it’s first direct action in 2010.
It will be correcting more problems in 2012.
Hey Slick Willy who was selling this nations big time military top secerts to the chicoms for illegal campaign cash for his corupt party who was a rapists and skirtchasing sex fiend a child killer war monger and draft dodging low life SHUT UP WILLIEBOY CLINTON
YOUR America may be a mess because of the Tea Party’s Truth to bullshit Bill…the Tea Party will act as opposed to whining from the smeagols…flushing twice and leaving the fan on!
No Billy, we’re in this mess because the Tea Party finally shined the light on the this democrat bullshit. Why can’t you just shut up and go away to take care of your “library” and massage parlor
