Bill Clinton to ‘Exhausted’ Voter: ‘Give us Two More Years,’ ‘Vote Against Us All If It’s Not Better’

Bill Clinton had some advice for President Obama and the Democrats: Tell voters “It’s okay to be mad.”
The former president can relate to Obama’s situation — but Clinton said the president needs to tell November voters to make their choice on who is more likely to get things done and ask the American people to give the Democrats another term.
“[Tell them] ‘Give us two more years. Don’t go back to the policies that dug the hole…If we don’t do better, you can vote against us all, and I’ll be on the ballot, too. Vote against us all if it’s not better,’” Clinton said.
People feel disempowered, angry and frustrated right now, Clinton said – something that Obama experienced yesterday first hand. The president faced a tough crowd of voters at a town hall meeting, including a woman who told the president “I’m exhausted of defending you.”
