Election 2012

He’s Got It Right

Former President Clinton's new TV ad for President Obama.

The stuff some folks are saying about President Obama sound kind of familiar. The same people said my ideas destroyed jobs—they called me every name in the book.

Well we created 22 million new jobs and turned deficits into surpluses.

President Obama's got it right. We should invest in the middle class, education and innovation. And pay down our debt with spending restraint and asking the wealthy to pay a little more. Sound familiar?

In other words -- we've seen this movie before. And it's a fair comparison to make, because according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the deficit will almost entirely vanish by 2017.
