Hillary, actually, is to the right of Bill.
Whatever you want to believe about the Clintons' ideologica
l perspectiv
es and how they constellat
e around each other, Democratic voters haven't just been played by Obama -- It didn't just start in 2008.
And just like the real debate & assessment of Reagan that's never happened, we've never assessed Clinton's true legacy. Eliminatin
g the social welfare safety nets, Glass-Stea
gle, the passage of the Telecommun
ications Act of 1996, rendition, privatizat
ion, the sanctions & daily bombing of Iraq (& so much more) laid the foundation for what BushCheney did to decimate the country. As AlanGreens
pan said, "Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we've had in a while."
The Clintons benefitted greatly from the repeal of Glass-Stea
gall (Gramm-Lea
ch-Bliley Act), which Bill Clinton signed into law at the end of his administra
tion, and what's behind the economic meltdown. He made $100 million in the last ten years, and much more than that (unknown, secret, which is the nature of hedge funds) from his dealings with Yucaipa and Ron Burkle.
