Good old Bill. You can expect him to have a slick line. Just don't expect him to have the same position on anything on any two given days of the same week. Make America great? He's against it now.
The 42nd president on Wednesday, while stumping in Orlando for Hillary Clinton, suggested Trump’s campaign rallying cry, “Make America Great Again,” is racist code.
“I’m actually old enough to remember the good old days, and they weren’t all that good in many ways,” Clinton said. “That message where ‘I’ll give you America great again’ is if you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means, don’t you?”
They were pretty good as far as standard of living, job markets and hope for the future went. But apparently it's racist to say that. Unless you're America's other first black president.
The problem is, Clinton himself has used the same phrase several times in the past.
He used it repeatedly while running for president in 1991 and 1992, declaring at one Little Rock, Ark., event, "Together, we can make America great again."
And in a campaign ad for his wife in 2008, Bill Clinton said, "It's time for another comeback, time to make America great again."
It's okay. Like so many other things, it's not racist when the Clintons do it.
