Leaked Bill Clinton Speech: Obama Years Left No Hope For White Working Class

[DailyCaller] The economic stagnancy of the Obama years is to blame for plummeting life expectancy rates among white, working-class Americans, according to former president Bill Clinton, who privately told Democratic donors that lower-income whites "don’t have anything to look forward to when they get up in the morning."

Clinton made the remarks while speaking to at a November 2015 closed-door fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Canton, Ohio.

Echoing a theme of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign, the former president expressed his concern that white, working-class Americans have been left behind over the last eight years.

Clinton expressed his frustration with the most recent (at that time) Democratic debate, which he said lacked a single mention of the fact that "84 percent of the American people, after inflation, had not had a raise of 1 cent since the financial crash."

"We have incredible debates all over America that shouldn’t exist between people in different racial groups because they don’t trust law enforcement anymore," he continued. "And in the middle of all this we learned, breathtakingly, that middle-aged, non-college-educated white Americans’ life expectancy is going down and is now lower than Hispanics, even though they make less money."

"And the gap between African Americans and whites is closing, but unfortunately not because the death rate among African Americans is dropping but because the death rate among white Americans is rising." Clinton continued. "Why? Because they don’t have anything to look forward to when they get up in the morning. Because their lives are sort of stuck in neutral.

Public versus private positions, I guess.

#1 Last time I looked the death rate was still stuck at 100%. And one thing Bill is right about, middle aged white guys (and minority ones too) who raised their kids, had decent jobs, hepled send their kids to college, payed taxes, bought cars, bought houses and in general showed good faith with the country and the economy have been increasingly kicked to the curb. White, no make that "working class", Americans are the dog shit the elites want to scrape off of their shoes after stepping in it. If I sound bitter, well maybe I am

#2 84 percent of the American people, after inflation, had not had a raise of 1 cent since the financial crash.

But the economy is grand! I read it in the papers!

#3 Every now and again, Bill Clinton, unlike his wife, utters truth. When a liar lies, it is no surprise but when a liar tells the truth, it is a great surprise.

The working middle class has been dog shit to the elites. Every message they send via the MSM reeks of superiority and elitism. People have grown very tired of being bashed about by these leftist elites.

#4 Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that "NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement."[11]

#5 The politicians see "working class", Americans as children that should know their place.
