B. Clinton: Obama’s ‘Off to a Good Start’

Put this in the sorry-this-wasn’t-on-the-site yesterday category. Below is former President Bill Clinton’s interview with NBC’s Ann Curry that aired Monday on the “Today Show.”

Clinton said President Barack Obama is “off to a good start” and that he’s “got a good team.” He also had high praise for the $787 billion economic stimulus bill that passed through Congress last week.

“I think he got quite a good bill out of this,” he said. “This package that he’s going to sign is our bridge over troubled waters.”

Clinton also tackles Time Magazine’s putting him on its list of who to blame for the current economic crisis.
