Bill Clinton defends John McCain

by Cassy Fiano in Headlines 2 Comments

Barack Obama will be furious when he sees this. PUMA!

On top of that, he’s blaming the current financial crisis on the Democrats!

Going very much against the media meme that the current financial crisis is all George W. Bush and the Republicans’ fault, Bill Clinton on Thursday told ABC’s Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been “resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac”

Of course, John McCain tried to put through a reform bill in 2005 that was — shockah! — blocked by Dems. President Bush issued multiple warnings this year — 17, actually.

But of course, Dems are blaming it all on President Bush and trying to push the tab on the taxpayers. At least Bill Clinton has the guts to speak the truth. If Democrats had any guts or integrity at all, they’d own up and work to actually fix the problem without sticking the taxpayers with the bill.

I mentioned to a hardcore Democrat friend (very nice guy except gets very irate about Bush and Republicans) how Bush tried to get reform on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Without a pause, my friend simply said “That’s because his Saudi friends have stock in both companies.”

And as another friend said when I mentioned that comment, you just can’t talk to these people and expect an attitude change. They’ll make up whatever they want to be right.

You’re hot. And correct. As a young and active (meaning vocal, yet ignored) conservative in NY, I find Bill Clinton’s admission here to be a rather stinging indictment of the Dem party apparat, but am not surprised that the MSM is totally ignoring these comments. Sad. Did I mention that you’re rather good looking – or, as today’s youths would put it, ‘hot’?
