Bill Clinton Strikes Back At Rachel Maddow

Clinton was a decent president, he talks a good game, he was fiscally conservative (a good thing), but he gave away the farm on jobs (NAFTA) and regulations (Glass-Steagall) which were at least partly responsible for the economic mess we're in. Clinton once argued that the Republican congress would have passed the bills even without him. Then he should have vetoed the bills on principal and make them override his vote. I knew at the time both bills would come back to haunt us, and unfortunately I was right. Sad to say Obama is walking down a similar path by compromising the heck out of every major bill. The last president one can legitimately call a liberal was JFK.
