Washington -- Lucky though he was, Bill Clinton never had his shot at greatness...he never got the opportunity George W. Bush was given this Tuesday: the historic chance to lead.

From Woodward's book, The Choice - p 65:
|
Chris-- clinton failed to achieve "greatness" (or even garden-variety adequacy ) not because of an absence of "opportunities"--but rather because of an absence of guts and selflessness and honesty to take the "shot," and an absence of skill to make it in any case... |
Bush: "I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt." Washington and the liberal media may be getting the message: George Bush is for real and he's no Mr. Nice Guy when it comes to war. Even Newsweek's Howard Fineman, a liberal Bush-basher, has had to do a double take this week. Writing in his column of an Oval office meeting with four U.S. Senators -- including Hillary Rodham -- Fineman described Bush "relaxed and in control." Fineman, drawing a comparison with Winston Churchill's defiance during World War II, quoted the president as telling the Senators: "When I take action," he said, "I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive." No doubt, Hillary must have shuddered when she heard that, a clear hit on her husband's eight years of appeasement with terrorists and their backers. Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff [ASIDE: Have you noticed that as of the morning of 9-11-01, hillary clinton's "best memory" informs her--and she is quick to inform us -- that she was not "co-president" after all?] |

You mindless Idiot! How dare you say that Clinton was not "lucky" enough to achieve greatness. He is not nor would he have been great because he is morally bankrupt. The most narcissistic, self-absorbed and greediest President of our time does not have the internal fortitude to go to war. He was never respected as Commander-in-Chief by anyone in the military because they knew he was at best a sniveled-nosed coward, at worst a traitor to the United States for putting his political gain before our national interest.
It is still amazing to me that you and most of the media were so in love with this former President. I can truly say I don't get the infatuation.
Clinton was a phony, a charlatan, a snake-oil salesman - and I will agree he was great at that. For a decisive leader, a true Chief Executive, a respected and respectful Commander-in-Chief, give me President George W. Bush any day.
Just the thought of Clinton being in charge during a crisis like this creeps me out.
You can't make a silk purse from a pig's ear.

Dear Chris,
Are you loosing your mind...since when are the deaths of some 5000+ innocent people an OPPORTUNITY! What a completely pathetic statement and truly inconsiderate suggestion that THIS CARNAGE on 9-11-01 is an OPPORTUNITY. I've been listening to you rant for several days now...what a political hack you are! Would your viewpoint be different if one of your family members was buried in that rubble? Does your hatred run sooooo deep for the republicans that you've got blinders on? You wear your petty jealousy on your sleeve every time you open your mouth. Your problem as I see it is that you have no Modern day Democratic President during the last half of the Century which you can embrace as truly great. Oh, I know your first response would be Kennedy but you and I both know that politically he was in trouble. It was only because of his assassination that he was elevated to martyr status in the Democratic party.
So who else does that leave? Lyndon Johnson...nope. He had Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers. Jimmy Carter...NOT...he had 444 days of hostages in Iran..........So, hmmmmm., who does that leave? William Jefferson Clinton. Yeah, that's the one! But He was too busy sticking his DICK in an Interns mouth and getting caught while his wife was getting kissed by Suha Arafat and her husband who now appear to have been screwing our country over all along.
Yeah, he's the one you can hold up....as the greatest Democratic President of the last half of the 20th Century. While your at it why don't you just ask the Democratic party to change their symbol from a donkey to a Condom instead....I hear it gives you a false sense of security while your being screwed!
