The ex-president's tirade on Fox News reveals a politician insisting on a legacy he doesn't deserve.
THERE'S NO LIMIT to what a man can do," President Reagan used to say, " … if he doesn't care who gets the credit." ...
Former President Clinton's motto seems to be a little different: "There's no limit to how much credit a man can get, if he doesn't care what he's actually done." ...
Reagan came to office after the Jimmy Carter catastrophe. ...
And yet even after his two terms were over ...I cannot remember Reagan ever "defending his legacy" with anything more than a quip and a smile.
Compare and contrast Clinton. Questioned mildly on his anti-terrorism record by Fox's Chris Wallace on Sunday, President Me went absolutely medieval on the newsman, leaning forward threateningly, rapping his fingers against Wallace's notes and proceeding to, well, lie — and in a very angry voice too! ...
Reagan was a man who believed in truth. Not your truth or my truth but "the truth," the one that is out there whether you happen to believe in it or not.
"I never thought of myself as a great man," he said, "just a man committed to great ideas."
Clinton, on the other hand, is a narcissist who finds it difficult to grasp in any real sense that there is a place where his "inner man" ends and the rest of the world begins. Clinton's stock phrase, "I feel your pain," is really the insistence of a man who does not truly feel anyone else's pain, does not truly understand that there are other inner realities as urgent as his own.
Take Clinton's misuse of women...

LOL..it does kind of read like someone slipped it into the paper after the Editor went home for the night.
I am proud to be an American whenever President Bush speaks also.
Whats up with the prison orange shirt on Clinton. If only it were prison issue...
If hitlery gets elected, I'm filling our spare bedroom with ammo.
According to dictionary.com's first listing under "is":
"be - present singular 1st person am, 2nd are or (Archaic) art, 3rd is, present plural are; past singular 1st person was, 2nd were or (Archaic) wast or wert, 3rd was, past plural were; present subjunctive be; past subjunctive singular 1st person were, 2nd were or (Archaic) wert, 3rd were; past subjunctive plural were; past participle been; present participle be¡Eing.
¡Vverb (used without object) - 1. to exist or live: Shakespeare's ¡§To be or not to be¡¨ is the ultimate question.
2. to take place; happen; occur: The wedding was last week.
3. to occupy a place or position: The book is on the table.
4. to continue or remain as before: Let things be.
5. to belong; attend; befall: May good fortune be with you.
To exist or live, to take place, to occupy a place or position, to continue or remain as before, to belong--are these not the very definitions of "being"? All of these are wrapped up in the word, "is," especially, the quality of remaining as before.
Is it possible that one who cannot understand the meaning of "is" may not truly understand what it is simply to "be"?
How hypocritical!
There goes the LA Times complaining about clinton's narcissism when they were one of the major components of the cabal that enabled him!
good article
Now if they could quit printing leaked classified info...there might be hope for them...LOL
I disagree.
He was a serious problem as president.
No matter who, no matter when, no matter what, no matter how long into the future, William Jefferson Clinton will be remembered for only one thing....Monica Lowinsky!!!
good catch. how true, how true...
He really needs supports for his bags under his eyes!!!
The Real Legacy...
"Peace through Strength."
Now, they are going to loose the other half of their subscribers!
Wow! This from the LA TImes??/
