The Awful Legacy of the Last Eight Years

A very careworn former President Bill Clinton campaigned today for wife Hillary in Spokane, Washington. Along the way he blasted President Obama's "awful legacy."

The Weekly Standard has the text. The American Mirror has video with clear audio in case you don't believe he really said the following:

Now if you don’t believe we can all grow together again, if you don't believe we're ever going to grow again, if you believe it's more important to re-litigate the past, there may be many reasons that you don't want to support her.

But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we've finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that where we were practicing trickle-down economics with no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her.

Matt Drudge speculates Bill's "re-litigate the past" means he's heard the Obama DOJ will go for an indictment and angrily trashed Obama in the same breath with Bush. Unfortunately, calling Obama's years "awful" is no way for Hillary to wrap herself in the Obama mantle and coax his minority voters to the polls.

If the President knows the FBI won't quietly drop the case, he may have to go along to preserve his legacy. There's this old guy - Bernie Sanders - who hopes it's true. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the links.
