Ronald Reagan

At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to reinvigorate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore "the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism."
...
Overall, the Reagan years saw a restoration of prosperity, and the goal of peace through strength seemed to be within grasp.

Somehow, when I think of Zot, I can't help but think of Storm...

And a great rendition of that thought, too!

Ah, Jack's mother comes in from working the streets.

What article are you talking about? All I see are a couple of pictures.

One of my fav Zeppelin tunes...;)

All I see are a couple of pictures.

Look behind the curtain, Dorothy.

Here's an even better one:

And one more...

It's already been (thankfully) removed. Someone from the DU tried to slip a turn in the punchbowl and post some gooey sweet bio of Slick Willie. It was removed quickly.

Oh, thanks for the explanation. Thought I was losing it there for a second.

Was required to testify for the official record that he "knowingly gave evasive and misleading answers".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former US President Bill Clinton could have been charged - and might have been convicted - over his attempts to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinsky, the special prosecutor has concluded.

Robert Ray - who took over from Kenneth Starr as independent counsel - said there was sufficient evidence the president had obstructed the inquiry into the scandal surrounding him and the former White House intern.

Mr Clinton's lawyers struck a deal with Mr Ray to spare the president from criminal charges the day before he left office in January 2001.

Mr Ray's report was released by a three-member panel of federal appeals court judges who appointed him and his predecessor Mr Starr to investigate the president and his wife in 1994.

The report - which was required by law - said: "The independent counsel concluded that sufficient evidence existed to prosecute and that such evidence would 'probably be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction... by an unbiased trier of fact'."

Mr Ray said he decided against prosecution on the grounds that "non-criminal alternatives" were sufficient.

But in the report, he concluded: "President Clinton's offences had a significant adverse impact on the community, substantially affecting the public's view of the integrity of our legal system.

"President Clinton admitted he 'knowingly gave evasive and misleading' answers" about his sexual relationship with Ms Lewinsky.

The day before President George W Bush was inaugurated, Mr Clinton agreed to surrender his licence to practise law for five years as part of the deal with Mr Ray.

Monica Lewinsky was 21 when she met the President.

He admitted he made false statements under oath when questioned about his relationship with Ms Lewinsky during a hearing into his alleged sexual harassment of Paula Jones.

The report said: "President Clinton engaged in conduct that impeded the due administration of justice by testifying falsely under oath... that he could not recall ever being alone with Monica Lewinsky; and he had not had a sexual affair or engaged in sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky."

They always seem to miss that one...

If you think Clinton was great, just think how wonderful the economy would be right now if he had not raised taxes and allowed corporate fraud to continue and had actually done something to strengthen national security rather than doing things to diminish it? Then, we would not have the current deficit and Reagan's economic boom would have continued, rather than being slowed by terrorist attacks on our country, high taxes, and corporate fraud.

If he actually had a clue regarding the realities of the world, North Korea would not have nukes right now, Iraq would have been resolved by now, we would not have lost american lives in Somilia, and the Palestinian terrorists would not have begun believing that terrorism brings success.

Thank god that his overreaching by trying to implement socialism, begining with nationalized health care, woke america up, resulting in a republican majority in congress. Despite his vetos, we managed to pass welfare reform (after vetoing it he eventually signed it when polls showed it was popular) and balance the budget.

Unfortunately, he misused executive authority to further burden American businesses with unnecessary and counterproductive regulations, which could not have been passed democratically.

And of course, he really tarnished the office of the presidency, but that, ultimately, will play only a minor roll in his eventually being ranked one of the worst presidents in American history. He inherited a booming economy and strong, secure nation, and did his best to destroy both the nation's economy and security (and I'm not even talking about selling national security secrets to the Chinese for campaign contributions). If he had not started following the Republican congress' lead, he would have nothing to point to as a success. As it is, he did not initiate anything that was good for the country.

I only pray that President Bush can solve all the problems created by Clinton before it is too late.

The Clinton Library

I may have missed it in there, but let's not forget about the campaign cash he accepted from the ChiComs in return for missile plans that now allow the Chicoms to hit with impunity, any of our major cities on the Left Coast with nuclear tipped ICBM's.

Can't wait to see the Upcoming X Men 2!

Spend a week with Clinton and then tell us how wonderful he is...ever wonder why Hilary is all alone at night?
