Clinton deviendrait-il une "belle-mère"? L'Équipe d'Obama se sera certainement pas contente du synchronisme de la parution. Surtout que Clinton bénéficie toujours d'une belle cote de popularité...
"President Obama and his Democratic allies made two key political missteps in recent years, according to former president Bill Clinton in a new book to be released Tuesday.
First was not raising the federal debt ceiling in the first two years of the president’s term, when Democrats still had a majority in Congress, and then failing to devise an effective national campaign message during the midterm elections of 2010.
Clinton also suggests, obliquely, that Obama’s criticism of Wall Street has been too harsh and counterproductive.
The 42nd president periodically surfaces with cheerful tips on how he managed the economy and offers these observations in his book entitled “Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy.” The Washington Post obtained a copy of the book prior to its publication.
The volume is dense with criticism of Republicans; it devotes substantial attention to what Clinton describes as the GOP’s relentless “antigovernment ideology,” which he identifies as the cause of the anemic economy, high unemployment and American inability to compete on the world stage.
But the subtext of the book is that Obama has struggled, both to identify workable economic policies and to outmaneuver his Republican foes.
“The Democrats did not counter the national Republican message with one of their own,” Clinton writes of the Democratic losses in 2010. “There was no national advertising campaign to explain and defend what they had done and to compare their agenda for the next two years with the GOP proposals.” He compares it with his own congressional defeats in 1994."
