Clinton Gives Advice to House Democrats

Bill Clinton spoke to House Democrats at their retreat today and told them to “come up with a plan,” Politico reports.

Said Clinton: “I think we’re going to be fine, but we’ve got to learn to compare ourselves to the competition in a way that is not threatening and is not negative. We have got got to have a jobs agenda that seems affordable and realistic. We need a 10 year budget plan that doesn’t overdo the austerity… Do it all in a same spirit that you took out there in this last election.”

He added: “This last race was a referendum in large measure on what the American people did not want, we have to create a future that they do want.”
