..."President Clinton (click here) comes to the NAACP's 106th annual convention as not merely a humanitarian or a former president but as a friend," NAACP President and CEO Cornell Brooks said in a statement. "Whether advancing civil rights nationally or combating human rights challenges globally, President Clinton has demonstrated the values of the NAACP over an arc of public service that is both long and wide."...
President Clinton is still dearly loved in the Democratic Party. It is important he address issues of the day when he believes Democrats may be confused by evolution over a decade or two.
This is not the first time he has spoken about how laws he signed were wrong. He stated the same about "Don't ask, Don't tell" and the "Defense of Marriage Act."
The country has evolved over time and there are better understandings of issues then before. There are also Democrats that consider themselves "Clinton Democrats." They hold loyalty to President Clinton.
He also wants to clarify the understanding he was wrong to Republicans. They will seek to further their position by confusing a Democratic candidate's statements with past law of a Democratic president. Former President Clinton has no problem setting the record straight and the Democratic Party has no problem in him stating his new position.
Issues evolve over time. He states "Three Strikes and Your In" was the wrong law. He sees the position of President Obama, examines the facts and realizes the law didn't produce the best outcomes he had hoped for when he signed it.
It's all good.
