"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it will take another Clinton to clean up

[MichiganVote]

after the second Bush"

[Olney Blue]

1. The crowd went crazy!

[Fabio]

2. I thought it was good pub,

but honestly, i think Bush's father left the country better than his predecessor.

[MichiganVote]

7. He was neither a neo con or a reaganite. He wanted to govern the old repub. way

and found out how much it cost to buck his own system.

[Fabio]

16. agreed.

i think senator clinton has been very strong tonight (very sober and frank), and that line was pure red meat for the crowd. I sort of cringed though because for all Bush Sr's flaws, has stayed above the fray for the last 15 years, despite being an ex president, a partisan, and the father of the current (insert four letter word of choice).

[Subdivisions]

3. Meanwhile Poppy & Barb call her husband their adopted son. n/t

[MichiganVote]

10. So would I if I had their bozo's.

[Bonobo]

4. It took Bill Clinton to clean up and it'll take Bill Clinton again" would have been more honest.

[MichiganVote]

8. Nah, women have been in the cleaning business for years :)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

15. Apt.

Plus the 22nd amendment thingy may be a bump beyond avoiding.

5. ~~ ALL-FIRED-UP FOR THE LADY~~

6. That was the best line of the night!!!

She kicked ass with that comment. What a great answer to all of the rhetoric surround what some like to call a "dynasty". That will make a great bumper sticker if she gets the nomination!!

[tularetom]

9. Except the first Clinton didn't really "clean up" after the first bush

He just sort of swept the whole filthy mess under the rug. Stopped the Iran Contra investigations and years later became the BFF of the asshole that started it all.

[MichiganVote]

12. I think most people embrace the economic policies that assisted them in the 90's

after being left in the lurch for 12 years of the repub's.

[TahitiNut]

19. The FISCAL policies were good but the ECONOMIC policies were a giveaway.

NAFTA, WTO, the Telecomm act ... you name it. Goldwater would've creamed his pants.

[MichiganVote]

20. Doggone Tahiti, I'm renaming it all and calling it the checkbook policies :)

[dflprincess]

13. True

If he'd actually "cleaned up" the 2nd Bush wouldn't have been allowed into the White House as part of tour.

[TahitiNut]

11. Uh-huh... and WHY was there a "second Bush" again??? Huh???

Sheesh!! And WHO's Poppy's favorite adopted son now???

[blm]

24. Because the CLEANING SERVICES provided by Bill for Poppy Bush assured a Bush2

Just a wild guess.....heh

Oh yeah.... it happened.

[VAliberal]

14. Still dynastic

Vice President - Bush 1980-88; President Bush '88-'92; President Clinton '92-'00; President Bush Jr. '00-'08 ---> President Clinton (Hillary)'08? That sure looks like either a Bush or Clinton are the only choices for Pres. or are going to be close by, ala Bush Sr. as VP.

[DiamondJay]

21. your years are off

the ELECTIONS are in the even, but the years of service are in the odd. get it right. because when you say Bill Clinton was actual president in 1992, u accuse him of sending troops to somalia, when Bush Sr. did that in 92, after the election, and this accusation hurts the party. it was VP Bush 1981-1989, Pres Bush 1989-1993, Clinton 1993-1001, Bush II 2001-2009, Clinton II 2009-2017

[elehhhhna]

17. If the first ne had gotten the job done , we wouldn't be suffering under GW, imo.

[Drifter]

18. And that is exactly the kind ...

of Bullshit that is going bring out everyone against her.

Cheers

22. Exactly - and amazing that some just don't GET why we take the 'cleaning'

done for the Bushes throughout the 90s as an INSULT to honest and open government.

[Life Long Dem]

23. and so on and so on and so on...

[JimGinPA]

25. It was because of Clinton

We lost both houses of Congress in '96. Some housecleaning...
