make the case that the economy has not been given the kind of juice it needs to move forward. that is really where the battle lines have been drawn. wisconsin will have little to do with what happens in november. right now, it makes for good political theater and sets up an argument that both candidates can play off down the road. as we look at apples to apples, who gets out on the campaign trail like this? i don t want mitt romney to campaign with president bush. the campaign is largely running against the last administration. they don t want to be connected with him. president clinton has been very helpful to president obama. he is sending coded language in his interviews talking about romney with a sterling business career. that is a message saying to the
my dad used to say what s the difference between a violin player and a fiddle player in one has whiskers. he is one of the biggest names in the democratic party, but some political pundits are saying clinton on the campaign trail is a double-edged sword, he s like a st. bernard you can t control. he told supporters governor romney s economics are crazy. but that comes less than a week after mr. clinton went on national television and seemed to have a different message about governor romney. here is that. i don t think we ought to get into the position where we say this is bad work. this is good work. a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career
get in the position where we say this is bad work. this is good work. a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold. starting on september 15, we entered the deepest crash since the great depression. if you look at history, those things take five or ten years to get over. if there is a housing collapse along with it, closer to ten years. he is on schedule to beat that record. bret: bill clinton, former president making news. politico columnist ronaler simon wrote this today. clinton is not on barack obama campaign staff, not a trusted advisor, does not set obama strategy. but bill clinton is pretty good at sabotaging obama strategy. at a fundraiser with obama in new york he said obama deserved a second term because it would be calamitous for the world. that s the thing about clinton, if you invite him you never know the if good bill or
president does support barrett. that wasn t enough. because president obama just tweeted that he is standing by tom barrett. glad everyone is finally up to speed. this, of course, is not the first time that bill clinton publicly undermine team obama. last week, he appeared on television praising republican presidential candidate mitt romney. take a look. there is no question that getting up and going to the office and, you know, basically performing the essential function of the office, a man who has been governor and sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold. sean: sterling? now to talk about the national implications of this wisconsin race tomorrow, is the author of screwed. the former clinton advisor, dick morris. i don t think bill clinton ever got over then playing the race them playing the race card on him. he knows if he says that
administration. he has to do what he has to do, what he did today to run around helping him raise money, and is going to do tonight. but a little jab here or there, you can count on clinton to do it. this wasn t such a little jab. this was throwing obama under the bus. obama s whole campaign is based on the idea that romney is not a venture capitalist, but a vulture capitalist. here he comes out and says he had a sterling business career. crosses the threshold for qualification to be president. the exact opposite of what the candidate is saying. sean: look at what maureen dowd of the new york times writes the following on friday night the nation s capital under a tornado watch. that was the best thing that happened to the white house all week. she mentioned clinton and clinton s positive comments about romney and she talked about for example george w. bush and the media almost wanting him back. which is amazing.
