Bill Clinton in Skokie stretches truth on Occupy Wall Street and his new book

Former President Bill Clinton catch resist stretching the truth. Bubba was signing copies of his new book, Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy, in Skokie, Illinois' Old Orchard Mall on Friday. The Skokie Patch was there.

"I wrote this book to try and respond to what Occupy Wall Street and these other Occupy movements are doing," said the 42nd president. "I think what they need to do now is...we know what they're against but now they need to be for something."

Clinton's book was released on November 8, the Occupy Wall Street movement took over Zuccotti Park on September 17. He's an especially quick and responsive writer, if he's telling the truth and assuming the quote is correct.

And OWS is for something--a beyond-Obama left wing shove for America.

With Bubba it is always about Bubba. When he was a guest at a birthday party when he was a kid, I'm sure he wondered why they weren't celebrating him.
