who were convinced in three seconds by the media's childish smears against the Clintons. They chrerry picked the most successful governing record of our time. And they didn't notice that Obama swiped the entire Clinton policy agenda from day one: bipartisanship; fiscal respopnsibility; strategic investment; far reaching diplomacy; green energy (thank you Al); healthcare (thank you Hillary for suffering a crushing defeat on behalf of public health); slight upper class tax increases to pay down the deficit, fund upgrades, but leave enough capital for investment; middle class tax cuts to stimulate the economy (because there are more of us and we spend money on refrigerators which help industry). Etc...
This was devised by Bill when he was a leading intellectual in the DLC and PPI. And it was refined by Bill and Hillary in office. Obama and the party know it's the way to govern for the forseeable future. After 16 years, the far left are still too involved with their dream world.
