Bill Clinton hangs with the Bush Clan

After the Katrina disaster, it's certainly legitimate to ask questions of whether the federal government spent money wisely and whether the government could have responded better.You'd expect questions from Democrats,Republicans,and independents.Not only does Bill Clinton seem to want to hang out with the Bush clan(more than his wife) but he seems eager to rush to George W.Bush's defense:

MALVEAUX: But do you think this administration responded quickly enough?

G.H.W. BUSH: Of course I do.

CLINTON: Let me answer this. The people in the Superdome are in a special position. And let me say, I've been going to New Orleans for over 50 years. There's no place on earth I love more. They went into the Superdome, not because of the flooding, but because we thought the hurricane was going to hit New Orleans smack dab and they'd be safe in there if they didn't leave town.

What happened was, when the levee broke and the town flooded, what did it do? It knocked out the electricity and it knocked out the sewage. They're living in hellacious conditions. They would be better off under a tree than being stuck there. You can't even breathe in that place now.

So I understand why they're so anxiety-ridden. But they have to understand, by the time it became obvious that they were in the fix they were in, there were a lot of other problems, too. There were people -- they were worried about people drowning that had to be taken off roofs.

Even though the 2008 election is far away does Bill Clinton defending the current President undercut Hilliary Clinton's potential candidacy? It will be interesting to see what kind of responses the internet and the media bring to Bill Clinton's hanging with the Bush clan.
