Clinton: Obama had no clue on the economy until he called me

Well that's reassuring. From Jake Tapper:

Clinton's explanations of why Obama is qualified [on the economy] were interesting, to say the least.

"You know what he did?" Clinton said, heralding Obama's reaction to the financial crisis. "First he took a little heat for not saying much. I knew what he was doing. He talked to his advisers – he talked to my economic advisers, he called Hillary. He called me. He called Warren Buffet. He called all those people, you know why? Because he knew it was complicated and before he said anything he wanted to understand."

Got that?

"If we have not learned anything we have learned that we need a president that wants to understand and who can understand," Clinton said.

Thank heaven the Clintons were there to help Obama understand!
