The Big Dog Barks

Former President Bill Clinton went on Meet The Press today and discussed the smaller but more efficient Pretty Hate Machine.

Former President Bill Clinton told NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press" that the so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy" still exists and is "as virulent as it was," but has had its impact diminished by the nation's changing demographics.

Gregory asked: “Your wife famously talked about the vast right wing conspiracy targeting you. As you look at this opposition on the right to President Obama, is it still there?”

The former president replied: “Oh, you bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was, because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was. I mean, they're saying things about him. You know, it's like when they accused me of murder, and all that stuff they did. … But … it's not really good for the Republicans and the country, what's going on now. I mean, they may be hurting President Obama. They can take his numbers down. They can run his opposition up. But, fundamentally, he and his team have a positive agenda for America. Their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail."

Well, at least the Big Dog gets the GOP plan. He lived through it for eight years and an impeachment. Glad to see he's finally speaking up about it. Yes, they most certainly want Obama to fail and are trying to do everything they can to assure that outcome, even if it ends up hurting the country in the long run.

But you know Bill, it would have been nice if you'd spoken up earlier and not used those same tactics against Obama back in the primaries and all, but politics is politics, apparently.
