Could Bill Clinton Bailout Barack Obama?

We are notably surprised that the 42nd president of this country of ours has remained visibly silent on the mess the 44th president is in.  Bill Clinton has never been much for keeping quiet on matters where he has an idea that will work.  And we all know that he knows that he ran the country pretty well.  We know that he takes credit for balancing the budget and creating millions of jobs.  Now why would someone who has balanced the budget and created jobs not help out his fellow democrat who is getting hammered for not balancing the budget and creating jobs?  That is our question of the month.
First, as always with us, let’s look at the facts:
People employed when Bill took office – 117.0 million (1/1993)
People employed when Bill left office – 136.2 million (1/2001)
People employed when Barack took office – 140.4 million (1/2009)
People employed today –   140.3 million (8/2011)
Okay, so while Bill was in office the people employed went up by 19 million :)
And while Barack has been in office the people employed went down by 100,000 :(
So, we can conclude that Bill apparently knew what he was doing and that means that Bill can surely talk about what, how, when and where he did it.  So, c’mon Bill, Barack needs you to tell him what, how, where and when to get some people employed.
Next let’s look at some more facts:
US Debt when Bill took office –   $4.2 trillion
US Debt when Bill left office – $5.7 trillion
US Debt when Barack took office – $10.6 trillion
US Debt today –   $14.7 trillion
Okay, so while Bill was in office the debt went up by $1.5 trillion, over eight years :(
And while Barack has been in office the debt has gone up by $4.1 trillion even though Barack has only been in office for 32 months and Bill was in office for 96 months.  THREE TIMES LONGER AND MUCH LESS DEBT :(((  That tells us that Bill has got to have some thoughts on balancing the budget and cooling it on the debt.  So, c’mon Bill, Barack needs you to tell him what, when, where and how to balance the budget.
So, where is Bill?  Why isn’t Bill helping Barack out of the mess he is in?  What the dickens is going on with Bill that he isn’t at the white house helping out his fellow democrat in this time of need?
Bill?  Oh, Bill?  Wherefore art thou Bill?  Has anyone seen Bill?  This is what Bill looks like.  If you see him please ask him to call Barack at the white house.  Pronto.

Since he's going to visit the White House, perhaps he can return they stuff Hillary stole when they moved out.
