(1/17) One year on, Obama must look to the example set by Bill Clinton (guardian.co.uk )

Sanders · Diamond

Great article! Thanks Amy.

A Coakley loss would be a nightmare for Democrats, not only for its symbolism, but because it would imperil the passage at long last of Obama's signature healthcare reform bill.

Absolutely!

Yes, after his first year of Presidency, Pres.Clinton sure did flex to integrate people's feedback. Let's hope Pres.Obama learns from reflecting upon this.

oh but according to Obama, Bill Clinton was not in his list of transformational presidents, so why would he want to be like Clinton.

Hehehe!

May be that's why Clinton had the highest ratings.. and has such high ratings even now. It would be real dumb to not learn from the best successes.

Clinton understood that he needed to work with the Republicans and the result was a sucessful welfare reform law that most people liked. Clinton also became a better President because he had a Republican majority and was still able to get things done. LOL Obama has a Democratic Majority and still can't seem to get things done.

to compare Obama to Bill Clinton is an insult to Bill Clinton.

even my very conservative friends say, they hated bill clinton, but at least they knew he [Bill]didnn't loath America and the very foundations America was built on as Obama clearly does.
