Clinton's Folly

Headline:

Former President Clinton stumps for Dems at Cheyney.

And there is no truth to the rumor that Mr. Clinton attempted to persuade Bryan Lentz to drop out of his congressional race so that his running mate Jim Schneller would have a better shot at winning.

Highlights:

Clinton said he understands the concerns of Americans.

“People don’t feel fixed,” Clinton said. “OK, we didn’t get out of the hole, at least we didn’t stop digging.”

Yes. We were in a hole. So the Democrats kept digging and digging and digging. Making the hole bigger and bigger and bigger. The lesson is supposed to be when you're in a hole, quit digging. Not in Washington. In Washington, if you've spent yourself into a deficit hole, you're supposed to keep spending and spending and spending until the hole is so big it swallows your Democratic majority.

During the Clinton presidency it was only after the voters handed him a Republican Congress the budget was ultimately balanced. Voters appear ready to do the same favor for Mr. Obama.
