Hard to believe that the Obama Re-Election Disaster has enough pull to get Big Dog Bill Clinton to issue a retraction, but that's what they've done.

Now that's just plain funny!

"Very sorry"?!?

For making a statement about extending the Bush tax cuts, at least temporarily, so that Congress had time to work out a reasonable solution outside of the current political climate?

As we mentioned earlier, we don't agree with a temporary extension.

But what Clinton is advocating now is even worse: No extension. Bush tax cuts expire. Probably for everybody and not just the wealthiest. And even if they are eliminated for just the wealthiest, that still hampers economic growth.

We recommend making them permanent, so business leaders have some confidence in the long-term outlook of the tax code.

But poor Bill Clinton is now forced to apologize for his "let me prove to you that I'm a centrist" sentiment.

Maybe Hillary got to him.
