Hillary Clinton says she'll name Bill as economy czar
by Chris Isidore***@CNNMoney
If she's elected president, Hillary Clinton says she'll appoint her husband, Bill, to oversee the economy.
During a speech in Kentucky Sunday she referred to "my husband, who I will put in charge of revitalizing the economy 'cause he knows what he's doing."
The U.S. economy boomed during President Clinton's administration. His economic record is an effective selling point, especially as U.S.*growth remains sluggish, and most*voters worried about the economy.
During Clinton's eight years as president, the U.S. economy added more than 22 million jobs. That's slightly more jobs than were added during the combined 22-year tenure of the four most recent Republican presidents.
In the spring of 2000, Clinton's final year in office, a greater percentage of Americans had jobs than any time since records started being kept soon after World War II.

The Administration of Slick Willie -- the guy with the " zipper problem " benefited from the economic pump which had been created by the Reagan Administration .
Mr. Clinton presided over the beginning of the shift of jobs outside of the uS and he did nothing to try to stop or impede it .
The man was famous for never spending much time at all working . The most time he spent in the Oval Office was for late night " Trysts ".
