Bill Clinton Appears In New Ad: ‘Obama’s Got It Right’

Source: TPM

Former President Bill Clinton is appearing in another Obama campaign ad, vouching for President Obama's plan to grow the economy and tying Obama to his own legacy from the 1990s. "President Obama's got it right," he says. Clinton also dismisses attacks against Obama, saying Republicans made the same claims about him in the 1990s.

"The stuff some folks are saying about President Obama sounds kinda familiar," Clinton says. "The same people said my ideas would destroy jobs and they called me every name in the book. Well, we created 22 million new jobs and turned deficits into surpluses."

Clinton advocates for Obama's policies, then asks, "Sound familiar?"

Isn't it interesting he's the only president who is commonly referred to by his first name? He's just so darn personable.

The Rethugs back then were the same as they are today, an ugly party of hatred. They turned Clinton's 8 year term into one investigation after another, on top of another. And yet this man, President Clinton, had the backing of the public and his agenda won.
