Q Sir, you said in your speech tomorrow you're going to talk about some of the excesses of the 1990s, when a lot of money was flying around, people were playing a lot of games with money.

THE PRESIDENT: That's right.

Q You weren't President then; Bill Clinton was President. Do you think in some way he contributed to that, set a moral tone in any way?

THE PRESIDENT: No.

Q Can I ask one more -- (laughter.) You'd not like to expand on that?

He had a chance to stick it to the Democrats, because Clinton's Administration oversaw the decade of fraud and deceit and blew it again. What is wrong with someone who constantly gets attacked and lets the RATS get away with HYPOCRISY.

What is the sense of him bashing Clinton? He'll be labeled as "divisive" or the left will come up with some new label for him, and drag him through the media muck for months and years to come.

IMO the most important part of his statement, funding for the military, was never addressed by the media...because they were too intent on bashing him over an old, dead, debunked, debunked and debunked story.

Ahhh... But Bush is no Bill Clinton. Just because they are a bunch of lying, hypocrytical sacks of excrement doesn't mean that the President should behave in the same manner. That goes against his "change the tone in Washington" promise. It sucks sometimes, but Bush never said he would be a vicious politician. He said "compassionate conservative". Like it or not.

When will you people get it?? Bush doesn't want to talk about Clinton - because the MEDIA LOVES CLINTON AND THEY ARE JUST STANDING THERE SALIVATING FOR BUSH TO START BASHING CLINTON. He just won't do it. Besides, he doesn't have to - the latest Gallup polls show the American people already believe it was Clinton's corruption which caused the whole mess. Why should Bush get involved. The people already know the truth!

"Q You weren't President then; Bill Clinton was President. Do you think in some way he contributed to that, set a moral tone in any way?

THE PRESIDENT: No."

I believe a better response would have been "No Comment" as it is vacuous to argue that Clinton's rampant criminality while in office did not set a decadent tone for some less-morally-tethered individuals within Corporate America to follow.
