Bill Clinton knocks ‘awful legacy’ of last 8 years
Donovan Slack, USA TODAY 10:07 a.m. EDT March 22, 2016

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/03/21/bill-clinton-knocks-obamas-awful-legacy/82094792/

Former President Bill Clinton, stumping on behalf of his wife in Washington state on Monday, urged people to vote for Hillary Clinton “if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us.”

It was not initially* clear if it was an unintended gaffe or something he meant to say, but it didn’t take long for Republicans to seize on it and post the clip to YouTube. Here’s the full quote:

“I literally from the time I met her 45 years ago ‘til we talked yesterday, she is the best change-maker I have ever known. She always finds a way to make something good happen, to make people feel empowered, to buy people into the process, to make democracy work the way the framers intended for it to work.

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 when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her because she’s the only person who basically had good ideas will tell you how she’s going to pay for them, can be commander in chief and is a proven change maker with republicans and democrats and independents alike.”

*Update: An aide to Bill Clinton says the legacy he was referring to was Republicans' obstructionism.

"When Republicans controlled the White House, their trickle-down approach drove our economy to the brink of a collapse. After President Obama was elected, Republicans made it their number one goal to block him at every turn," spokesman Angel Urena said in a statement. "That unprecedented obstruction these last eight years is their legacy, and the American people should reject it by electing Hillary Clinton to build on President Obama's success so we can all grow and succeed together."

Mar 22nd 2016
13
I don't think he was intentionally referring to BHO's legacy.
Mar 22nd 2016
4
I do. I remember him dogging PBO when he ran in 08
Mar 22nd 2016
10
      Yeah then they were running against each other, now she
Mar 22nd 2016
15
      ...after having served in his administration.
Mar 22nd 2016
20
      no, he dogged SBO.
Mar 22nd 2016
19
           OK..so the title change means something different? Right.
Mar 22nd 2016
23
                it means Bill didn't throw shade on Obama's POTUS work back in
Mar 22nd 2016
27
                     Bill's playing Chess.
Mar 22nd 2016
31
                          no, Bill is campaigning in favor of his wife
Mar 22nd 2016
33
                               RE: no, Bill is campaigning in favor of his wife <-- Made my point
Mar 22nd 2016
35
                                    right and what he said here is that a vote for his wife
Mar 22nd 2016
39
                                         And he dogged the last 8 years of Legacy - to which the world
Mar 22nd 2016
41
                                              no, 'the world' doesn't.
Mar 22nd 2016
44
                                                   Say, the words Legacy, Politics, and Last 8 year and tell me the 1st nam...
Mar 22nd 2016
46
                                                        these words make me think of the GOP:
Mar 22nd 2016
48
                                                             Ok. We see it differently. I'm honest about the mess.
Mar 22nd 2016
51
                                                                  Your not honest. LOL.
Mar 22nd 2016
66
                                                                       This is a about perception and opinion.
Mar 22nd 2016
69
Republicans are hoping people don't actually read what he said.
Mar 22nd 2016

most won't

Politics. It's call Politics not Lets be Friends.
Mar 22nd 2016
56
no, he didn't.
Mar 22nd 2016
6
Yes he did.
Mar 22nd 2016
14
      You literally had to change what he said to something else
Mar 22nd 2016
16
      Really Y'all capping for this dude. We all see what he said
Mar 22nd 2016
22
           right. i see that he did not refer to Obama's legacy as 'awful'.
Mar 22nd 2016
24
           Who's Past 8 year Legacy is the WORLD talking about?
Mar 22nd 2016
25
                Bill was not talking about any particular person
Mar 22nd 2016
32
                     Ok... You can believe that. It's all good. I see a different angle.
Mar 22nd 2016
36
                     Agreed. The message is about 8 years of obstructionism and polarisation
Mar 22nd 2016
52
           I'd might buy that if they weren't otherwise running on his record
Mar 22nd 2016
29
                They don't have a choice. Clinton is trying to play both sides
Mar 22nd 2016
30
                yeah that was a good tactic against Bernie
Mar 22nd 2016
122
      he never used the words 'Obama's legacy'.
Mar 22nd 2016
17
      I never put Slick Williams words in quotes
Mar 22nd 2016
26
           right b/c he didn't use the words you need him to have used
Mar 22nd 2016
38
                "The awful legacy of the last eight years behind us" OK
Mar 22nd 2016

Mar 22nd 2016
109
                this would likely turn-off as many Dem voters as it would gain undecided...
Mar 22nd 2016
43
                     No it won't 70% of Dems are decided For Hillary
Mar 22nd 2016
50
                          why do you assume they cant be turned off by anti-Obama rhetoric?
Mar 22nd 2016
54
                               Really? Who are they going to vote for?
Mar 22nd 2016

Mar 22nd 2016
108
                                                        the fact is we don't know what Bill was implicating
Mar 22nd 2016
110
Bill is too skilled to tick off the base his wife NEEDS to win
Mar 22nd 2016
53
The base isn't going anywhere
Mar 22nd 2016
62
I think Bill's skills are overrated. He is old and prone to misspeak
Mar 22nd 2016
65
      I''m not so sure about that.
Mar 22nd 2016
106
      i think you've misinterpreted what he really meant
Mar 22nd 2016
111
Stay away from ppl who interpret this as a criticism of Obama

63
So you're 100% positive - stake your life on your idea that Bill Clinton
Mar 22nd 2016
73
      he clearly made a 'negative insinuation about the last 8 years'
Mar 22nd 2016
77
you could argue he is saying Hill can do what O couldn't
Mar 22nd 2016

Of course he is. Every presidential candidate says that. Even Bernie.

which again points to at least some subtle shade here from old Bill Clam...
Mar 22nd 2016
114
so if Bill straight up said
Mar 22nd 2016
116
So your argument is that Bill wouldn't insinuate the claim because
Mar 22nd 2016
82
      that's not at all what he said.
Mar 22nd 2016

                          sure.
Mar 22nd 2016
93
You see the possibilities within his statement.
Mar 22nd 2016
79
Saying that is different than claiming HIS legacy is awful
Mar 22nd 2016
104
      This is politics. Hillary is running for President not chair of the PTA

I highly doubt he was referring to Obama but wow, poorly thought out
Mar 22nd 2016
119
I'm just saying, it can fly both ways. It's not implausible.
Mar 23rd 2016
123
if he were referring to the obstruction of the GOP, he should have SAID ...
Mar 23rd 2016
124
DOC, You SEE IT! You get what I'm saying.!
Mar 23rd 2016
126
and if he was criticizing Obama, he should have said it as well
Mar 23rd 2016
129
      It's called shade for a reason
Mar 23rd 2016
130
      But his audience isn't most intelligent people

      I agree. Just say what you mean....

           I think that he was clear and also offered an option for moving forward
Mar 24th 2016

poorly worded... and maybe on purpose
