GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that President Barack Obama is facing a tough re-election race because "impatient" Americans haven't fully recognized an economy on the mend.
Campaigning for Obama in Green Bay, Wis., Clinton urged voters to stay the course as more signs of a recovery sink in. Clinton said voters should judge Obama on the past three years, in which private sector job growth has made up for lost ground."This shouldn't be a race," Clinton said. "The only reason it is, is because Americans are impatient on things not made before yesterday and they don't understand why the economy is not totally hunky-dory again."The former president said Obama's difficulty in his race with Republican challenger Mitt Romney is that "people don't feel it yet" even as the unemployment rate ticks down and the manufacturing sector perks up. Clinton said Obama deserves credit for stabilizing a situation that saw the country hemorrhage jobswell into his first year."Gov. Romney acts like from the minute the president took his hand off the Bible he was responsible for every lost job," Clinton said.
i concur the right wing has usurped the Pres. expression of "a fierce urgency of now" with impossible claims of not fast enough, we could do better how do they know this is a situation not seen since big depression.
when asked what they would have done differently we get hit with a binder full of vagueness no specificity, you willing to wait tell after election to find out you bought two pigs in the same poke without the lipstick, and how long after the election will they decide tio disclose the oop's by those who voted for them.
Biden say's it all "use your common sense" who's the one with the record of him and VP hopeful and party trying to take all your constitutional rights, deregulate to our peril and his buddies advantage, block your vote notice he has never rebuked any of the skulduggery committed by him and his party.
Everywhere he goes, Romney argues that the tepid recovery is grounds for a change. The shape of the economy consistently tops lists of voter concerns.
A local police official said 2,200 turned out to hear Clinton at a college fieldhouse. Clinton won Wisconsin in both of his presidential campaigns.
we need to understand that each individual and group is being self destructive in using current right wing propaganda and ratings to influence your vote for whats right for the long run not the time you are listening to the time it's over and the next exaggeration starts. i wrote this on my blog last year,

ARE YOU HALF COCKED
Hello, conserv's and liberals alike should listen to both ideologies if for no other reason then to know which way to run. Seriously if both sides are so sure of their stance then why not REALLY look out for "THE FOLKS" let them make up their own mind, challenge to conservative talk show and radio personalities rememember "adhere only to one philosophy you will always be half cocked"
