Bill Clinton didn’t mince any words this morning when he ripped into republicans for their staunch opposition to Obama’s stimulus package.

From the Politico

Former President Bill Clinton lit into Republicans Monday for being “automatic” in their opposition to President Barack Obama’s stimulus package.

“Those guys are on automatic,” Clinton said during an interview on CNN’s “American Morning.” “They have a — you know, you punch a button and they give you the answer they give you.”

“I think that there are a lot of tax cuts in that bill for middle- class families, for lower-income families,” the former president continued. “There’s a $7,500 tax credit that will kick in when these plug-in electric vehicles go on the market which could help us to become the world’s leader in that and secure us jobs for a decade or more.”

Considering the Republican opposition was the first time in recent memory that the GOP actually held together 100% on opposing the Democrats it was far from automatic.  It sounds like Clinton is more worried that this new found solidarity will pose a larger than expected obstacke for Obama than originally thought.
