Bill Clinton on SOTU - "Even the doubters can't deny Bush is succeeding in Iraq."
Bill Clinton Dialy Diary ^ | 2/2/04 | Bill Clinton

Posted on 02/03/2005 10:15:54 AM PST by Nice50BMG

I watched the State of the Union address. I've been around long enough to know whether there is momentum or not. President Bush's most important proposal in the next four years, privatizing Social Security will pass congress.

I wasn't sure about it. A lot of Democratic and liberal groups were making a good case. I thought they might succeed in frightening enough Republican politicians, who might run for reelection, to derail the proposal. I thought they would be able to convince most Americans that Social Security wasn't a problem.

When I saw the Iraqi lady hug Mrs. Norwood, the mother of the marine, who died during the assault on Falluja, I knew the president would get his way. It's about trust.

The president took this country to war even though the nation was divided. He asked the American people to trust him. It was in our national interest to liberate Iraq. Half the country doubted him.

The elections in Iraq on Sunday and the hug the two ladies shared, made one thing clear to most Americans, president Bush was right. Even the doubters can't deny Bush is succeeding in Iraq.

The president has shown he can be trusted. It means Americans right now have enough confidence in president Bush to allow him to lead them on the Social Security issue. I have no doubt that it will pass.

" This can't be real? "

That's the beauty of whoever writes this diary. He or she cleverly uses words that Clinton would use and many entries appear to be legitimate.
However, every once in awhile, an absolutely uproarious passage is inserted which reveals that this is an excellent parody.
In passages from last summer- Bill at the barbeque dissing Chelsea's boyfriend ( "Curly ") and his reflections on Hillary doing dishes, were LOL.

I am emailing this immediately to my "Klinton-Kool-Aid-Drinking" cousin down in LA. He and his wife HATE W.

Will see what they say? (Fat Chance they'll switch, but it will needle them!)

Someone shoot me. I saw the link on http://www.meganshome.net/index.html in another story and I bought it... hook line and sinker.

Admin Moderator, Can you pull this thread?

Thanks.

Sure it can. The master Clinton Triangulation is in full throttle mode. Make no mistake, if Hilldabeast wins , we will have 2 presidents. The lurching move to the center is underway.

Nice thoughts but it's not really Bill that thought them.

No - for once Bill Clinton appears to agree with us.

Remember, Bill and Hilary Clinton never make an utterance that is not designed to increase their grip on political power.

The Laurel & Hardy of US governmental control.

www.meganshome.net is real - as featured on Hugh Hewitt's blog (and per radio interview with Megan and her dad). I should know... I'm the dad. I did have a link to the Bill Clinton Daily Diary because it linked to my daughter's site - but I thought it was clear that I knew it was a hoax. I've since removed it. Even my mother's been telling people Clinton linked to our child's website. Hugh's post about my daughter and her rare disease has helped us connect with many conservative well wishers.

Sorry for my part in this mess.

I heard part of your interview with Hugh. You are a dedicated father and a great person. You've probably heard it a hundred times, but I believe that God gives the special children to the special parents. You certainly make that belief a truism.

I was too quick to click through your website without reading your interpretation that it was probably fake. Clearly, you tried to warn me. My bad.

I haven't embarrassed myself on FR for a while, so I was overdue.

I didn't mean to suggest in any way that you were perpetrating a hoax. Not my intention.

God's blessings to you and your family.

This can't be real?

Even if it's not....based on my knowledge of Bill Clinton, he is sharp and cunning enough NOT to hook his "trailer" to a whipped, whimpering, weenie, wild-eyed...losing team.... Why stand in a burning house?

I wonder if Clinton had a near-death experience.

"How is partially cutting the flow of money going into SS a solution to the problem?"

Well, it would hurt the situation in the short term, but force less dependence upon SS in the future in the long-term, a good thing.

Is this REALLY his blog?

I went to the site. I would think a blog by a former president would attract more attention to itself.

I think it has to be.

I first posted without even checking the site out since I assumed the poster would have made sure it was legit. But, then I headed to his library site etc. No mention of the blog.

I did a search online. No mention anywhere of the full site name except on thet site itself.

A blog by a prez would get much more attention.

It has to be fake, unfortunately.
