With Clinton doing a book tour it seemed like a good time to reflect back on his accomplishments as President. I ask a couple of Friends of mine what they thought were his chief accomplishments. The economy came up, then I looked back over the economic data and I saw that when Clinton came into office the Economy was growing and by the time he left office we were in recession. So what did he actually do for the economy?
What I remember most about the Clinton Presidency was that everything was about Clinton. He always had to be the center of attention and the center of the news. In fact I think Clinton considered himself to be more important than he considered the Country he pretended to serve. Whenever there was a conflict between what Clinton wanted and what was good for the Country, he chose himself. First getting elected and then getting reelected trumped all other considerations. He even signed welfare reform after twice vetoing it because the idea was popular and he needed to improve his reelection chances.
In the most notorious example of Clinton’s misplaced priorities he decided that saving himself a little personal embarrassment was a higher priority than showing respect for the Truth, the Rule of Law and Our Judicial System. So while under oath he simply lied.
Get a new title and then it should work
I didn't think about a title until I went to post and I just put in the first thing that came to mind.
