Elizabeth Warren

Read the speech. There are plenty of footnotes and references. If she had wanted to say, "This mess is the Clinton administration's problem." she easily could have done so. She doesn't mention Bill Clinton.

Warren is very aware that it's not ONE PERSON who creates policies. She is clear in her speech to set up the history of issues. She knows that the Clinton's, just like Obama make mistakes. Chances are she would admit her own mistakes if someone asked.

One reason she doesn't want to RUN is because she is smart enough to know that she cannot WIN unless she compromises with some of the rich and powerful. That's fine, but the WP is implying that Warren said something that she did not say.

Whatever her motivation, Warren does not come out in her speech and say anything directly about Bill Clinton. She is clear what Congress, the Fed, etc. did historically to create the problem and what she thinks could be done to fix it.

My impression is that Warren doesn't really care who gets the blame or glory - she wants the system fixed. The WP is extrapolating a conclusion that Warren did not state. It's a disingenuous story to imply her speech was about Bill Clinton.
