I don't normally do quotes of the day...
In December, Bill made similar points on trade, immigration
...however in honor of more hypocrisy, I'll make an exception for this one:
"If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns."
-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life, making the same argument as Sen. Barack Obama.

There really isn't much difference between Bill's quote and Obama's. The key difference is that Obama uses a more active construction "cling" while Bill uses a more passive construction "more receptive to." But the essential point is exactly, one hundred percent indistinguishable.
Must be just one more example of an issue where Bill and Hillary disagree. Oh wait -- but Bill is on the trail falsely pimping the meme. I guess they are just cynical opportunistic hypocrites.
