So do I. After all these years I still can't stand to see a photo/video or hear him speak.
I'm surprised no one has talk about who Bill Clinton did focus the FBI and CIA towards, right wing militia. I'm not saying they were or weren't a problem. Early in the Clinton administration, there were a lot of resources looking at right wing militia, Waco, Ruby Ridge.
I wonder if Wallace ask Clinton how often he talked to the CIA head and when did he have his first meeting with the CIA.
Glen Beck made a comment on his TV show late last week about the muslims being warned to leave DC and NYC. I know its off subject but did anyone else hear this and do they have any context?
I guess Clarke thinks were stupid. Those emergency plans have always been in place and modified based on the scenario, hurricane, blizzard, buildings on fire, etc. If NYC was hit by a hurricane that hit NYC, Clarke wants us to believe that NYC has no plans until Clinton came along.
Now a city or state actually following there plan and there plan being realistic is another issue as shown by NO and Louisiana during Katrina.
Bush had handicaps imposed on him by political enemies..
1) Bush did not really get to begin his transition until December 14, 2000.
2) Democrats undermined Bush by calling him "president select," every chance they could
3)Obstructionists Democrats, like Tom Daschle, came to power when Jim Jeffords left the GOP, (Jeffords was negotiating with the Dems about this when Clinton was still President).
Let's put it this way....he did as MUCH as an immature, can't keep his willy in his pants, could do.....
Let's all look into Richard Clarke!!!
I heard it.
BECK: But he told you that — I`m sorry to interrupt. We have such a time delay here. He has told you that he has prepared the next attack, it is ready to happen, and that Muslims should leave the United States immediately, did he not?MIR: Yes. Abu Dawood told me that we are determined to attack America again and that attack would be bigger than 9/11. And he said that the Americans must face the same kind of attacks which they are imposing us in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Precisely.
Gore behaved like he was in a cock fight during the Presidential Debate with Bush.
One minor point (on reflection) - a name is missing on that ballot. Ross Perot received 18.9% of the popular vote (but no electoral votes), making him the most successful third-party presidential candidate in terms of the popular vote since Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election. He split the conservative vote (as Bush I was no conservative) and paved the way for Slick and Mrs. Slick.
I think that the Clintonistas had only one use for the government and that was patronage. To them the presidency was about prestige and power. They showed no executive or legislative ability, and their misuse and mistreatment of agencies has shown up as Bush went back to using them.
Listening to this interview, it is obvious that Clinton wasn't fit to be Commander and Chief. He's acting as if it was the job of others to make the final decisions for him...as if he was just another advisor. This also exposes his obvious narcissism, were his need to be loved by everyone precluded him from making tough decisions that might not be acceptable for some.
An eight year national pustule still being drained.
I'm so glad you mentioned this. Clinton uses his pointed finger to rap Chris' leg and he did it more than once. More than any word spoken, this gesture demonstrates Clinton's out of control inner rage. He's this angry because he's defending what matters most to him...his legacy. Clinton's legacy is what drove his actions/inactions while president too, a fact being exposed more with each passing year, and that is fueling Clinton's out of control temper tantrums.
thanks so much for posting this Byron York column. An excellent rebuttal for Clinton's false statements during the interview. Needed too, since Wallace's panel seemed not to want to overly criticize Clinton's behavior. And they sure didn't challenge Clinton's truthfulness, especially about Richard Clarke.
A little while back I saw a thorough post-election poll of the 1992 election. It actually shows that Bush had strong support among conservatives (over 80% - comparable to Clinton's liberal support), but that he lost too many moderate and independent types to Perot.
You are being too generous to them. This was much worse than just incompetence or benign neglect. The Clinton administration was simply all about Bill Clinton and making him the most popular leader in the world. His delusions of grandeur knew no bounds and still don't. He was desperate to end his presidency with a Nobel Peace Prize won by "solving" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and go from there to being Secretary General of the UN. This man thinks he is God's gift to the world. He refused to do anything that might cost him popularity at the UN or take a percentage off his approval ratings at home.
Clinton was just rude. He told Chris that he was sitting there with a smirk on his face. It was just embarrassing. Bush would NEVER behave like this. Blaming everyone.
