INDIANAPOLIS — Former President Bill Clinton rallied Democrats on Saturday with a vigorous defense of President Barack Obama, saying that Obama has done what was needed to spark the economy.
Clinton said he believed Obama had acted correctly in pushing through his $787 billion economic stimulus package and the rescue plan for General Motors and Chrysler though the federal budget deficit could reach a record $1.85 trillion.
“I know we need to worry about this debt,” Clinton said. “First we’ve got to build a bridge over troubled waters and give the president’s economic reforms in the finance system time to take hold.”
Clinton spoke at a fundraising dinner for the Indiana Democratic Party.
