Bill Clinton slams new Romney welfare ad, says it is disappointing Aug 8th 2012, 05:28 Published August 08, 2012 Associated Press June 4, 2012: President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton wave to the crowd during a campaign event at the New Amsterdam Theater in New York.AP NEW YORK –  Former President Bill Clinton is taking exception to a campaign ad by Mitt Romney that asserts that the Obama administration is weakening the work requirements for welfare. In a statement Tuesday night, Clinton called the Republican's assertion "not true" and the ad misleading. The Romney ad says that President Barack Obama's plan would "gut welfare reform" by dropping work requirements. The administration rejects that description and says it's not unilaterally repealing or waiving the law but giving states the chance to make changes to their welfare programs. Some Republican governors have requested that flexibility. Clinton says he finds the Romney ad especially disappointing because Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, sought changes in the welfare law that Clinton says could have eliminated time limits important to the reform effort.
