Bill Clinton: The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is Back
Associated Press go to original September 27, 2009


| Former U.S. President Bill Clinton speaks at the Clinton Global Initiative, in New York, September 25, 2009. (Reuters/Chip East) |  | Bill Clinton says a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Barack Obama.
 The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago.
 Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.
 Bill Clinton was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: "You bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was."
 Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and "their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail." |
