Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton

            I have actually run into people who think he was / is the best president whatever.  Other than being pushed by his wife as a vehicle so she can become president he is a sorry excuse.  Just to lend kudos’ Jimmy Carter backs him, (he being one of the worst presidents in history) and he called Bush Jr the worst.  Lets just think about this.

            Remember his 1^st campaign?  Reduce the size of the White House, government is too big.  Laid off 1500 FBI agents who were watching Timothy McVey and Osama Bin Laden.  9 months later the Okalahoma bombing occurs.  Hmm, he gets elected and wins support kept his campaign promise and kills people by his actions. The next time he runs he says we got to beef up security, people bought it now he wins again for killing people. Now Osama Bin Laden, does any one know how hard it is to get operatives undercover into an extremist camp?  I would say ‘NO’ but then 911 occurs and again Clinton’s actions caused deaths, but he got lucky it got blamed on Bush.

            Here is a good point, does anyone actually believe that a president can single handedly turn a $3 trillion economy around?  Maybe it was the fact that Alan Greenspan was there during Reagan’s 1^st and 2^nd term, Bush Sr. stated he would not change Reagans economic policy 3 term, and Clinton saw a good thing and did not either 4^th and 5^th terms.  So we have 5 terms times 4 years per term for 20 years of essentially the same economic policy.  Yet Clinton on his way out claims credit.

            I will give Clinton his due.  He did 2 things which I believe helped the economy; 1) he didn’t change the existing policy, 2) got a 10 year ban on taxing the internet.

            The Monica Lewinsky thing, I believe every president has done something and things only come out to take the light off of something that is worse.

            Anyways just writing this to see what it stirs up.
