Bill Clinton Blames Millennials For Anger, Economy, Congress

Source: Huffington Post

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Millennials, there’s a reason Americans are so anxious and angry in this election, Bill Clinton says. It’s you.

It’s no secret that Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been frustrated that younger people are flocking to Bernie Sanders, a septuagenarian democratic socialist.

But in a speech on Thursday to about 1,000 people in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the former president, who was stumping on his wife’s behalf, betrayed yet another frustration with younger Americans. He said the country would be in a much better place now if the youth had not been so apathetic and had voted six years ago, when the tea party wave put Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives.

Clinton got to that point by first praising the job President Barack Obama has done in bringing the country back while noting that incomes have stagnated for most people.

Wow is all I can say. (I moved this from LBN at moderator's request...locked as not a reputable news source, despite them having reporters at the event)

2. ANYONE who doesn't vote, if they are able,

Is to blame, regardless of age. It can't be a representative democracy if people don't vote.

3. Poor Bill. He's upset that the millennials aren't buying what he is selling. And it must really

anger him that Obama was able to bring them out to vote for him.

4. My Millennial daughter was in middle school during the 2010 midterm elections.

Nice try, Bill...

Inside Panama Papers: Multiple Clinton connections

Hillary Clinton recently blasted the hidden financial dealings exposed in the Panama Papers, but she and her husband have multiple connections with people who have used the besieged law firm Mossack Fonseca to establish offshore entities.

Among them are Gabrielle Fialkoff, finance director for Hillary Clinton’s first campaign for the U.S. Senate; Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who has traveled the globe with Bill Clinton; the Chagoury family, which pledged $1 billion in projects to the Clinton Global Initiative; and Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng, who was at the center of a Democratic fund-raising scandal when Bill Clinton was president. Also using the Panamanian law firm was the company founded by the late billionaire investor Marc Rich, an international fugitive when Bill Clinton pardoned him in the final hours of his presidency.

The ties are both recent and decades old, not surprising for the Democratic presidential front-runner and her husband, who hav

7. Most millenials under 25 were still in high school

and couldn't vote.

So yeah Bill, it was all their fault for not voting.

8. And then Hillary announces her plan to soak the millennials for money.

My grandson thought that was hilarious.

What a pair!

9. take a good look: this is exactly how the Clintons think about each group

they just won't reveal it until the group isn't voting for them

they want to blame the current generation for his selling the country off to Mexico and her to the PRC, they want to blame the voters for Rahm and DWS losing 11 Governors, 13 Senators, 69 Reps, and 913 state seats

they probably want to blame someone for Iraq, Haiti, Honduras, Libya, and Syria, too

10. Makes me wonder who Debbie's gonna blame in August? (or if not then, in November). nt
