BILL CLINTON: Former president should fade away

Florida Times-Union ^ | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 | CHARLES ZITTIN [Letter to the editors]

A recent letter writer stated that President Bush needs Bill Clinton's help.

The letter writer's justification is how Bush let the economy slide into a recession. He stated that Bush's lack of action against "small minorities" perpetrates lies against the United States.

I've read other lucid & pungent letters from Mr. Zittin in the FTU- as usual, he nails it. This:

the economy began ratcheting down when Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan started increasing the interest rates and the Clinton White House started going after Microsoft

is dead-on. It was the start ( IMO ) of the "War on Business" by the government that started our slide into recession.

Absolutely right.

Perhaps you could explain to the readers mr. clintons "economic policy."

Remember those riots in Los Angeles that Former President Bush was raked over the coals for? How much do you bet that they were promoted by the Clintonites? I have always felt that those riots were incited intentionally. I also believe that the economy was artificially propped up by the Clinton administration and allowed to collapse when Bush was elected to office. And I am not at all sure that Greenspan wasn't somehow playing along with the program for some reason. Either that, or he was duped too. I put nothing past the Clinton's. Nothing.

About those riots....I forgot to mention....why else were all those gang members brought to the inauguration of Clinton? It was all part of a payoff for a job well done, imo.

Klinton's 2AM, deer-in-the-headlight nightmare is to know that he is irrelevant. Reality hurts.

The Microsoft thing was a joke. They go after Microsoft and then promote the deal between Time/Warner and Aol???? They attack Gates for not giving away enough of his wealth..a totally bogus charge. I remember watching Ted Turner deliver a speech to the George Washington School in DC where he said that he had plans to expand into Cuba. When someone asked how that could happen since Clinton had talked during his campaign about not doing business with Cuba. Turner, loud mouth that he is, simply said it like it is....what was said in the campaign was said for the campaign and had no meaning anymore. Turner had no doubt at all that Clinton supported his goals for Cuba. Remember, back then Turner was a Clinton buddy. Of course, Clinton must have pi$$ed backwards on him too because that relationship seems to have gone the way of most of what Clinton ever touches. In fact, Turner even wound up losing much of his business. I can't help but think that Clinton might have sold him out to go after bigger money elsewhere. What a snake.

Still waiting!!!

.....clintons "economic policy."

I can't stand the suspense. What was his "economic policy?"

[jamaksin]

Economic policy ... Bill who???

Re: #9 -- Couldn't agree with you more.

Bump!

In short, the Clinton Administration was a "Failed Administration";THAT IS THEIR LEGACY,THAT IS AMERICA'S UNFORTUNATE HISTORY.

He should have been history the day the Senate had a chance to convict him. Clinton has all but endorsed the Taliban with his speech at Georgetown University. This befuddled and irresponsible ex. president betrayed the values and system that elected him in the first place. Can anyone believe he stood there as said..."This country was founded on slavery, that America is as bad as the Taliban. The Clinton's are nothing but trash! The question is why were so many people taken in and still are by these frauds?

[alaskanfan]

I don't know that he ever had one, other than to put money in his own bank account.

Some folks, however, just don't get it.

Curious. . .that someone else looks behind the obvious and sees the probable hand of the Clintonistas (the LA riots). I have felt this way many times as things always seemed to 'work out' for the Bubbas.

"Nah. I'm getting paranoid" was always the second thought. As there are now TWO of us, perhaps not.

[vladog]

That ain`t gonna happen. Photo opts till dies and then some. Good thought though.

MY stomach is turning after your #9 post. Geez. And we call these people AMERICANS? Read them the Pledge of Allegiance.
