"This economy that [President Obama] inherited was profoundly ruined. Nobody who's ever served -- no one, including me -- has ever been expected to turn it around overnight," Clinton said. "The economy failed and hit bottom six months after Republicans took office. Nine percent. That's almost Depression-level shrinkage. And I'll give you the details tomorrow night, but that's quite a blow."
"And it was really interesting to me that when [Obama] was trying so hard to put Americans back to work -- two full years before the election -- the Senate Republican leader said that their number one goal was not to put America back to work, it was to put the president out of work," he added.
So Obama was working hard to put Americans "back to work" in 2006 ? We had job problems in 2006 ?
And with a record of voting "present" just what exactly was he doing ?
Pretty obvious (and sad) that they had to dust off Clinton to come pitch for Obama so Obama could get some votes riding on Clinton's coattails.
Clinton is an excellent speaker and he will lay out the truth about the economy. He will show that Republicans know less about running an economy as they do about Civil Rights. They know more about the planet Pluto than they do about either.

Pluto? Do they even admit it exists? Too sciencey.
