What Bill Clinton understands better than many Jews

Bill Clinton is certainly a wise man, and a learned man, but there is reason to suspect that he did not only have historical precedence in mind when he made a surprisingly pointed remark. Clinton was probably thinking about the politics of the day – about ways for him to ensure that his wife wins an election – but his point was about much more than the politics of the day. It was a point that Jewish Americans, and all other Jews for that matter, would be wise to memorize as they go to the polls.
