Obama Directly Attacks Bill's Presidency, Blames It For Massive Dem Losses By Greg Sargent - February 6, 2008, 12:38PMIn what may be Obama's most direct and aggressive criticism of Bill Clinton's presidency yet, the Obama campaign dropped a new mailer just before Super Tuesday that blasts "the Clintons" for wreaking massive losses on the Democratic party throughout the 1990s.
Not sure what I think about this strategy. There may be some truth to it, but I also think it's important to remember that on balance, the Clinton presidency was good for America, especially in contrast to the Bush I and Bush II.
Whatever the case, given that Hillary does claim her years in the White House as a part of her experience, I do think the issue is fair game.
