He also references the Bush years, but that is to be expected from any Dem. Blaming Obama is refreshing.



Bill Clinton: Hillary Can Save Us From 'Awful Legacy of Last 8 Years'

Former President Bill Clinton surprisingly told a campaign rally Monday that his wife, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, can help America "rise together" and "put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us."

The shot at Democratic President Barack Obama came before an audience in Spokane, Washington.

The Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown That Bodes Ill for Cities

The Community Reinvestment Act funnels billions to left-wing activists, while threatening to destabilize lower-middle-class neighborhoods.Howard Husock
Winter 2000

T
he Clinton administration has turned the Community Reinvestment Act, a once-obscure and lightly enforced banking regulation law, into one of the most powerful mandates shaping American cities—and, as Senate Banking Committee chairman Phil Gramm memorably put it, a vast extortion scheme against the nation's banks. Under its provisions, U.S. banks have committed nearly $1 trillion for inner-city and low-income mortgages and real estate development projects, most of it funneled through a nationwide network of left-wing community groups, intent, in some cases, on teaching their low-income clients that the financial system is their enemy and, implicitly, that government, rather than their own striving, is the key to their well-being.

The CRA's premise sounds unassailable: helping the poor buy and keep homes will stabilize and rebuild city neighborhoods. As enforced today, though, the law portends just the opposite, threatening to undermine the efforts of the upwardly mobile poor by saddling them with neighbors more than usually likely to depress property values by not maintaining their homes adequately or by losing them to foreclosure. The CRA's logic also helps to ensure that inner-city neighborhoods stay poor by discouraging the kinds of investment that might make them better off.

Funny, because it's clear what he meant.

But after a flurry of panic, they're now trying to walk that back and say he was really talking about Republicans in Congress. :laugh:

Even Slick Willy accidentally tells the truth sometimes. Whoopsie! Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is chewing her arm off right now.
