Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said Friday that her husband, disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton, was a better leader for America than the current occupant of the Oval Office, George Bush.
"I believe two terms of the Clinton administration were very good for our country," Mrs. Clinton said during a conference call with reporters, adding, "I'm deeply concerned that within a space of a year we seem to have done a U-turn."
Sen. Clinton complained that the U.S. has gone downhill since Bush took over.
"Many of us believe the country was in the right condition when President Clinton left us and that we should have built on those successes instead of turning back the clock."
She also claimed that the U.S. was "richer and safer and smarter and stronger" with her husband at the helm but now those achievements have been "eliminated or reversed in the space of a year."
The harsh assessment from the country's most celebrated elected Democrat comes just two days after her husband gathered top aides with his former administration to devise a strategy to rehabilitate his tattered image.
After being impeached in 1998 for lying under oath in response to allegations of sexual harassment, being accused of sexual assault and even forcible rape, Mr. Clinton's image has been further battered by new charges that he was soft on terror kingpin Osama bin Laden.
Mrs. Clinton was not present at the Wednesday strategy session but her former chief of staff, Maggie Williams, who now serves the ex-president in the same role, attended the meeting.
Why does she even still have the need to say nice things about the bastard anyways? Everyone knows they hate each other (and so do the rest of us).
sweet pea, the U TURN started in March of 2000. the problems we have now were all initiated long before your administration was out of office. they are simply more obvious now.
I suppose from the title this really didn't need a barf alert!
LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Candidate for funniest line of the year.
If the bull dykes only knew that the hildabeast is truly faceted, they would cower in fear.
I know the title speaks for itself, but the content was more abhorrent than I could have imagined.
These people are beyond "jokes."
They are dumber than dirt clueless.
Leadership was totally lacking in clintons' administration. National secrets were lost, given away, and stolen. He allowed rental of the White House bedrooms. He ignored Defense. He violated the sovereignty of many other nations. He insulted the Supreme Court. He sold seats to corporations on trade missions. He attacked Microsoft because they did not ante up for his campaign. He pardoned terrorists and drug dealers and others who paid for amnesty. He sent a little refugee back to Communist Cuba. He surrounded himself with underworld lawyers. His administration averaged one major financial or political scandal each month. Most important, he lied to the American people.
Mrs. clinton fails to recognize that the Bush administration had had no scandals. It has properly done the business of the Executive Office for the American people. It has dealt properly and reasonably with every issue. It has carried on a civil discourse at every turn. It has led the Nation based on sound principles, not polls.
