Clinton Applauds Bush

Joel C. Rosenberg, national correspondent for WORLD magazine (www.worldmag.com) reports the following:

Bill Clinton stunned a Syracuse University audience on Mother's Day.

The controversial former president delivered a commencement address devoid of controversy or partisan politics. And at a time other Democrats - including his own wife - are attacking the White House on everything from tax cuts to judicial nominees, Clinton actually praised his Republican successor.

"I applaud President Bush for proposing to triple funding from America to combat HIV and AIDS, including providing greater treatment to those with the disease in fourteen poor nations in Africa and the Caribbean," Clinton told the surprised crowd of 20,000 students, parents faculty and community members.

He even urged people to "go out and tell people you know that we should continue to build on President Bush's AIDS initiative," and made it clear he think the President's approach is "a big first step" in defeating the global disease, now affecting some 42 million people.

Why such an apolitical speech from such a political ex-president?

Politics, perhaps. Located in the heart of upstate New York, Syracuse is a Republican stronghold, where the current President is wildly popular and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is not.

Statewide, only 47 percent of New Yorkers say Hillary is doing an excellent or good job, according to a Zogby poll in April.

A full 51 percent say she's doing a fair or poor job.

Upstate - in places like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany - a whopping 60 percent say Hillary is doing a lousy job.

It's all about the Clintons.....

THIS is good news!

[sarasota]

I wouldn't call it "apolitical". I'd call it begging for HIV and AIDS $$$.

[ffusco]

Only half? How is this good news? Now a third or a quarter.......

Located in the heart of upstate New York, Syracuse is a Republican stronghold...

BullSh!t. Billy C. won Onondaga County twice. W lost to AlWhore in 2000 by over 25,000 votes (54% to 41%), and even Hitlery won here - one of the few upstate counties she won - by over 7% against the hapless Rick Lazio.

Yeah, compared to the Bronx, Syracuse may be a GOP hotbed, but not by any rational standard does it fit that description. Some of the surrounding area (Cayuga County comes to mind) is just as bad lately in terms of idiotically voting for liberals.

He ALWAYS plays to his audience.

He’s an applause whore.

[jeremiah]

Usually the simplest answer is the most accurate. The president agrees with the ex-president politically.

[kattracks]

Upstate - in places like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany - a whopping 60 percent say Hillary is doing a lousy job.

So then, this is really good news.

Perhaps he has aids or just supporting homos since they are the majority that has aids.

[hnorris]

We've learned by now, that Clintoon will say anything to get the crowd on his side. He manages the mob well.

It's time to stop paying attention to what they SAY and start bringing attention to what they DO/DID.

[blackdog]

And who say's Bubba was not obsessed with being president of the globe? His absolute delight over issues in foreign countries which is alway's remedied by an emptying of the US Treasury, accompanied by some official apology for our country's selfishness and guilt is entirely predictable.

As for Hillary, they are both busy playing good cop/bad cop. There is a plan as certain as James Carville has serpent DNA flowing thru his cold blooded veins. Something along the line of Bubba gleaning weakspots in foreign affairs and Hitlery whipping up the socialists here in the Motherland. If they had their way, the Stae Department(which needs to be taken out back and shot ala' Ron Brown) would run the globe to enrich the dictators of the world and their henchmen while development costs for such a plan are covered by the US Taxpayer.

The American Taxpayer is the largest resource on the globe. Clinton, The UN, the European Union, The Arab League, et al...... Are all about tapping that resource until it's a dead host.

He did this because he knows an approving comment from him is like a Judas kiss.

[ken5050]

guess Syracuse ain't Toogaloo...

[mabelkitty]

Clinton found out that criticizing Bush cost the Dems - Big Time. It also drives down the Clinton name.

He's simply pandering. He probably expected a much larger media fawning over it, but nobody cares any more.

[mabelkitty]

There is one failing point, though. Nobody in the Dem party, except DLC/DNC, want the Clintons back.

Dean is wildly successful with the base, and he will run Green if he has to.

If we spend money to cure AIDS, do we save more than we spent in the long run, and about how much?
