Après sa rencontre avec Barack Obama à la Maison-Blanche cet après-midi, Bill Clinton a participé à un point de presse au cours duquel il a exhorté les démocrates récalcitrants à appuyer le compromis fiscal conclu entre la Maison-Blanche et les républicains du Congrès. Je cite dans le texte un extrait de la déclaration du 42e président :
So in my opinion, this is a good bill, and I hope that my fellow Democrats will support it. I thank the Republican leaders for agreeing to include things that were important to the president. There's never a perfect bipartisan bill in the eyes of a partisan. And we all see this differently. But I really believe this will be a significant net plus for the country. I also think that in general a lot of people are breathing a sigh of relief that there's finally been some agreement on something.
