Who are you going to believe?

I caught a brief, few minutes of former-President Clinton's speech in Connecticut (more on that later) this morning on C-Span. While he was there to support Sen. Lieberman in his campaign, Clinton used the forum to do what he does best: self-promotion. I've looked for a transcript, but you've all heard it before. "We (me) are the party that unites. They are the party that divides." "We (me) are the party for jobs and the working class. They are the party of the wealthiest few." "We (me) unite, they divide." Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Over and over.

As for employment and the economy, some locals in Wisconsin (4.9% UR in June):

"'These are the best times since at least Miller Park (construction) in the '90s. It might be the best in our 105-year history,' Jorgensen said."

As for other economic facts, compare the Clinton Administration, with the Bush Administration. Not exactly what the former-President portrays in his speeches, is it?

And as far as "uniting and dividing", just the very statement creates division. The left, for many years now, has operated under the banner of diversity, but have so narrowly defined what diversity is, that, unless you agree with them, you are dividing us. Maybe Bill thinks uniting the Democrats was enough of an accomplishment - forget the rest of us. Given the current state of the Democratic party, he's probably right.
