Bill Clinton was asked about Barack Obama’s political situation by former aide George Stephanopoulos on ABC Clinton of course has some words for Republicans and “how totally political Washington is today” (as opposed to when Clinton was in the White House?). But surprisingly Clinton also claims a certain element of the media has always opposed Obama.
Here’s video:
“I wonder, is there something to this, you know, second term curse? You look at modern presidents, you hit that sixth year, it’s almost impossible for a president of either party to have much support that late in the game,” Stephanopoulos said to his former boss.
Clinton replied, “I think his challenges are rooted in the fact that first of all, he had certain elements of the media and the Republican party who were always against him. It’s almost impossible for the average American to understand how totally political Washington is today.”
