Bill has lost his sheen it seems. Maybe he never regained it after the "fairy tale" remark in 2008.

I remember when Bill Clinton won on the theme: "It's the economy, stupid."

Now that the Clintons are sitting pretty in terms of their finances, they criticize Bernie for focusing on the economy.

But I think that Bernie is right. As never before, "It's the economy, stupid."

Bill Clinton has lost sight of the real issues.

He should be listening to Bernie rather than criticizing Bernie because Bernie is right. "It's the economy, stupid."

Thank You! I totally agree-"He should be listening to Bernie rather than criticizing Bernie

after having heard a segmernt on NPR about Bernie (and as we know, NPR is right at home with the corporo-media as far as tilting the gameboard against Bernie). Right on the heels of the segment about Bernie was a cut from a Hillary stump speech wherein she goes on and on with a bunch of totally homogenized bullshit about how SHE will be the one to create jobs - good paying jobs - once she's elected. Heh - my very first thought was : Yeah, good-paying jobs in OTHER countries - not here.

I just keep thinking of her account of her foray into Bosnia where she told of running for cover with her head down after exiting the C-17 she was on. If a person has NO hesitation of concocting a tale like that, what kind of shit would she feed us as POTUS???

and this is the issue the "reporter" focuses on. Television "news" is designed for morons and prescription drug addled zombies. I find it insulting to my intelligence to watch.

Bill was always not who you pretended to be and his wife is even worse. In the age of communication and information this fact cannot be hidden. The 90s was the end of it. Welcome to the Internet and 24hr news.

in his attempt to frame Sanders statements.

This is starting to become a theme, Bill Clinton talks, commentators go "Huh?". Chelsea was used up as an asset in short order, and now Bill Clinton, for all his enormous skill and experience, can't find his groove.

They're out of touch, and not in sync with the times.

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
