First off to the OP, on blaming Clinton, who the hell cares. Any nitwit in DC over the last 8-10 years could have spoken up about this without being a Monday morning QB.
As far as thanking Bill, you chaps ought to thank Dick Morris who told Hillary and staff to get the fvck out of the room so that Bill could “triangulate”. You know when she went all “Tammy Wynette”… Let’s not forget Bill was floundering those first two years, and after losing both houses of congress in a crushing defeat, he brought Morris in to save the day (again). If I had any sense that Barry would triangulate republican policies like Bill did, I might be willing to pull the Obama lever.
