Former President Bill Clinton decided it would be a good idea to talk as if he was his wife Senator Clinton, while at a campaign stop. It was if he had slipped back into running himself, especially if you happened to miss the first three words. Jake Tapper has the quote and a link to the video:
So Hillary says, in 2005, the United States Congress adopted the Bush-Cheney energy bill, which gave $27 billion in subsidies to nuclear, oil, and gas and coal. The only thing that was justified was clean coal, because countries are going to be using that. We have to figure out how to take the carbon dioxide out of it. The rest of it is waste. If you elect me, I’ll repeal those subsidies. And put them into a strategic energy fund that will create American jobs for America’s future with clean energy.”
Hopefully the Obama campaign will find a smart way to use this to their advantage. It worked the last time when Bill went off the deep end and made a big issue out of his stumping. It very much through the Clinton campaign off track. Hillary needs to stand on her own merit and does not benefit when Bill pictures himself as the president again.
