Anyone see the CSPAN Afterwords program last night? Jim Pinkerton interviewed Bruce Bartlett. Bartlett is a solid conservative economist who defended President Bush for a long time. But by 2003 he had as much as he could take.

BTW, I don't think Bush is worse than Clinton.

Farrah ought to team up with Savage... maybe between the two of them they could come up with a memory.

He's not worse than Clinton, because he is not immoral, or grasping, or vain, or filled with charlatanry.

However, he's not even 2% of the Ronald Reagan that I was hoping for.

Holy moly, leave it to "conservatives" to start shooting their own! After all the caterwauling about Bill Clinton, we get this dunderhead starting to criticize President Bush.

How do you think Bill Clinton would have done financially after 9/11 and Katrina?

Yeah, Bill Clinton built a surplus - on the back of the military through deep, deep cuts! Remember the peace dividend that everyone wanted to spend?

You people (author) are INSANE to start sniping at this president! Oh, how quickly we forget the depths of despair many were in in the middle of Clinton's vacation from history.

He concludes that at least on matters of spending and budget, Bill Clinton was better than our current president.

OK. Agreed.

On everything else, however, it's no contest.
So?
He's not the perfect president. There is no such animal.
If the choices were the same tomorrow I would vote for Bush again tomorrow.

Bottom line.

Clinton was forced to deal with a Republican Congress for much of his tenure in office.

Well, actually, Bush has NOT had a 'Democratic Congress' to deal with yet, which probably explains his 'no veto's yet' policy more than anything else. But can't argue on this, as this may be his worse legacy, i.e. lack of fiscal restraint.

As long as Farrah continues posting UFO rumors on his site, I ignore everything else he has to say.
