We\’ve all seen those cartoons, and photographs, where you\’re supposed to supply your own caption. Well, how about supplying a meaning to this comment, which Bill Clinton made, yesterday, while campaigning in Milford, New Hampshire.
“Sometimes when I am on a stage like this, I wish thatwe weren\’t married, then I could say what I really think,” Bill Clintonsaid before introducing his wife at a rally. “I don\’t mean that in anegative way. I am happy.
“The hotter this election gets, the more I wish I werejust a former president and, just for a few months, not the spouse of the nextone because, you know, I have to be careful what I say”.
Huh? What\’s that supposed to mean?
If Bill Clinton doesn\’t mean that in a negative way, how exactly does he mean it? Is he sorry he can\’t say good things? About who?
And since, according to NBC News-New York, he had no problem attacking Bernie Sanders yesterday, who is left in this primary but Hillary?
I\’ll leave it to you to come up with a logical explanation…and lots of luck with that. But I\’m having trouble doing so. My only conclusion is that Bill Clinton may once have been a great politician (the greatest I ever saw), but what he was then and what he is now are two very different things.
