Thank heaven the Clintons were there to help Obama understand!

“You know what he did?” Clinton said, heralding Obama’s reaction to the financial crisis. “First he took a little heat for not saying much. I knew what he was doing. He talked to his advisers – he talked to my economic advisers, he called Hillary. He called me. He called Warren Buffet. He called all those people, you know why? Because he knew it was complicated and before he said anything he wanted to understand.”

He called Hillary?  =))  Did Bill happen to spend time with Biden before this speech?

Drew:

So it was too complicated for Obama to understand right away, he had to talk to smart people like Bill and…Hillary to make sense of it. The backhanded compliment is fine and delicate art. Bill Clinton is a master of it.

    Well…Hillary is perhaps the smartest woman in America, don’t you know…her record of achievements and accomplishments in the private sector before becoming a Senator are second only to her brilliance and intellectualism!

    In fact, ALL Democrite/Leftist women and commentators are brilliant intellectuals! It’s only Republican and Conservative women that are dumb, and as you know, they are ALL dumb! At least that’s what the MSM and self-styled intellectual Liberals tell us over and over…
