8. Read her speech....

She names people, tells about legislation specifically, and is quite detailed in her speech.

She does not mention Bill Clinton. The WP article (and you) are saying that Warren said something that she did not say.

It's simple. If YOU want to blame Bill Clinton for something, then fine. Don't put words in Warren's mouth.

She is a big girl. She is obviously capable of disagreeing with anyone she wants to, and she doesn't seem to hold back.

If she wanted to name Bill Clinton or his role in some issue, she could have named him along with a dozen other names that she mentioned in the speech.

Pull up the speech, run a "find" for Bill Clinton. She does not mention him.

BTW, lots of Presidents sign bills they disagree with...Obama included. They do so as compromise when the Congress threatens to shut down the government (both Clinton and Obama), or for numerous other reasons. Maybe Warren didn't name Bill on purpose, because she knows why he signed the bill as part of a larger set of governance. Maybe she really doesn't blame Bill Clinton, even if she thinks it was a bad bill. Maybe in hindsight Bill Clinton would have done lots of things differently. All that is hypothesis, just like your assumption that you know what Warren thinks!! If she says it, fine. If not, you cannot imagine what you want and claim that she said it.
