HRC in last debate claimed, 'Sanders is always criticizing the two recent Democratic presidents'

[Eric J in MN]

You know, in the debates we've had -- maybe this is the seventh or so -- Senator Sanders is always criticizing the two recent Democratic presidents -- President Clinton and President Obama. And that's fine, but I wish he would criticize and join me in criticizing George W. Bush, who I think wrecked the economy and created the conditions for the great recession.

False.

I've watched all the debates. Bernie Sanders has rarely mentioned Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.

When Sanders mentioned Obama in the debates it's been to say nice things about him ("President Obama and I are friends. As you know, he came to Vermont to campaign for me when he was a senator. I have worked for his re-election. His first election and his re-election.&quot

8. OK, Made me laugh

3. Clinton helped create the great recession too.

She can't just lay all the blame on Bush.

Her husband signing deregulation started the ball rolling.

6. NAFTA, anyone?

Welfare-to-Work, which Bill borrowed from Republican assface Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson ?


Both well worth criticizing, in my opinion.

5. Any past criticism is likely deserved. I get pissed with spinelessness too. So what? (nt)

7. Who cares? He should be critical. There is a lot to criticize.

[ibegurpard]

9. whether he did or didnt

He should.
There's a lot to criticize.

10. He has mentioned Bill Clinton's policies- and criticized them.

11. There's a lot to be criticized

And Bernie has never once criticized Clinton's repeated ignorance (along with his advisers) of the threat of terror on American soil. Terrorism is not a top 5 issue for me, but this would be an area he could easily criticize him on (besides the more obvious ones)

[Wilms]

12. Lot's of Democrats have.

[bettyellen]

14. Sure, just saying there is truth to it. The OP is kind of sketchy.

13. she goes for the party loyalty dribble in others

maybe she should question her own loyalty .

[Bluenorthwest]

15. She should have joined Bernie in criticizing Bush with a no vote on Iraq.....

She's very late to the Bush bashing party, she spent W's tenure voting to empower neocon agendas.....
