Video: Clinton defends Obama’s jobs plan

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former President Bill Clinton addressed chatter arising from his praise of Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, and pointed out that the loss of thousands of public jobs could have been avoided had Obama's jobs plan passed.

Don't forget Republicans who never cooperated.

Mitch McConnell, the senate minority leader, said that GOP's only goal is to 'defeat Obama,' not to move the country forward by working with the President.

What a beat down in Wisconsin. Walker not only beat the snot out of Barrett but is shows how poor the polling is in the state. And for that matter, how can you take any of the national polls seriously either. Romney will crush Obama.

Where is Fiesty? Where is Bev? What happened ladies?

Romney beatdown of Obama in the fall is in the bag.

------------------

Obama's job plan? Green jobs at bankrupt companies is not a viable jobs plan. Tap the 3 trillion barrels of oil in the Green River Basin shale and collect some revenue (75% on federal land) and pay off the debt.

------------------

Piggie - Reid is the man killing jobs in the Senate. He refuses to bring any bill to the senate floor for debate and has brought more cloture than any previous senate leader. You can lie to yourself all you want, but clearly Reid is the obstructionist.

"obama's jobs plan"? Really? Don't ya think it's about three years too late?

Don't bother, obama. You're out of here in November, and we'll let Romney worry about it then.

You just go back to your vacay.

For President Obama to be "out of here" you, and a majority of voters, will have to support Romney, a guy who has made a solemn vow that he will not reduce this country's deficits, and has promised to put the interests of Grover Norquist and the wealthy 1% ahead of the interests of the United States of America.

Are YOU that anti-American?

Honestly? You are willing to do that?

    Clinton actually hates obama (as he should), but is taking one for the party! Gotta keep the demos happy, maybe obama will dump sleepy joe and insert Hillary as is rumored! After the mess in Wisconsin Barry's gotta make something happen!

    Bill Hates Barack. I heard Obama used Chicago strong arm politics against Bill in the 2008 elections. No luv lost here. Bill gives half heart speeches and undercuts barack. Poor( SUPER WEALTHY ) Bill.
