Two perspectives on Bill Clinton . . .

DAVE: What you do think about the fact that Bill Clinton is starting to hang around the White House more than usual? Is Obama bringing in the big guns?

DAD: I think Obama already has too much Clinton influence in his administration. In addition to Hillary as Secretary of State, he has Larry Summers as his chief economic advisor and Timothy Geithner, a Summers protege, as Secretary of the Treasury. I blame Summers's influence for the fact that the bank bailout was not handled properly (no ban on executive bonuses or shareholder dividends) and on the weakness of the stimulus package (too heavy on tax cuts, not enough on spending). If I had wanted Bill Clinton back in the White House, I would have voted for Hillary rather than Obama. But Bill is still very popular among the Democratic base.


AND . . .


DAVE: Have you happened to notice who Obama's new best friend is? Good old Bill Clinton.

MICHELLE: And why not?!?! I’d be his best friend too.

Obama wants all of his Democratic dissenters to remember how things were in the good old days of Clinton prosperity.
