Former U.S. President Bill Clinton told CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday that one thing bothering him about the Tea Party movement is that he can’t figure out where they stand on issues.
“Do they want to repeal the financial oversight bill? Do they want to repeal rather than reform the health care thing? Do they really want to repeal the student loan reform bill when we’ve fallen from first to 12th in the world in people with college degrees and it’s really important to the economy?” Clinton said…
Clinton also said he’s not sure if the Tea Party movement is “going to be a good thing for Democrats.”
“The Tea Party insurrection, if you will, that you see in these Republican primaries reflects the feeling of a lot of Americans that they’re getting the shaft,” Clinton told CBS chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer.
