That's true.
Clinton and Reagan were the best politicans in modern times. If the 2 term restriction were removed, Bill Clinton would be President for life.
If Clinton didn't have a lap dog press behind him and let's not forget the help from Perot in 92, he would have never won.
Even though he won re-election he will be a footnote in history.
Consigned to same club as Andrew Johnson.
I'm afraid you're right. Kinda like Hitler!!
You've got to be kidding. If it wasn't for Ross Perot in 92 George H. Bush would have been reelected. If the republicans would have put up a real candidate instead of Bob Dole he could have been beat. If the Monica Lewinsky affair was known about in 1996 he might not have been reelected. And if all the information about him at the end of his second term was available in 1996, Bob Dole might have been president. President for life my *ss.
It's a good idea to be able to back up statements like that on FR:
I can prove that's an out and out lie.
| Poll Says Americans Would Not Want More Clinton May 20, 2000 2:22 PM EDT By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton often sounds wistful for the chance to run again for president, but a new poll released on Saturday may give him pause. A CBS-New York Times poll unveiled on CBS' ``Saturday Early Show'' said 57 percent of Americans would not consider voting for Clinton if he was allowed to run for a third term, while 39 percent said they would consider it. The question is moot, since the 22nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution limits a president to two four-year terms, and there is no move to change it. Clinton's frequently muses that he will not be on a ballot in November for the first time in 25 years. ``Most days I'm okay about not being on the ballot,'' Clinton told Democratic faithful on Friday. ``And the other days that I'm not okay about it, you have the Constitution to protect you.'' These comments apparently have gotten the attention of the American public. The poll said 66 percent of Americans think Clinton would run again if he could. Asked if they thought he would win, 56 percent said no, compared to 32 percent who said he would. The White House dismissed the findings. Spokeswoman Nanda Chitre called the poll ``the mother of all hypotheticals'' and referred reporters to the 22nd amendment. What is lacking from the poll results is how Clinton would fare when compared with an identified opponent, Texas Gov. George W. Bush for instance. Bush's Republican presidential campaign said the poll results clearly showed many Americans were suffering from ''Clinton fatigue'' brought about by multiple scandals. ``There's a little bit of fatigue here,'' said Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. ``And if the American people want to make all the scandals and the investigation go away, the best way to do it is to elect someone new and different.'' ``That's one of the reasons why Gov. Bush is doing much better than Vice President (Al) Gore,'' he added. Bush is leading Gore in the polls for the November presidential race, a position Clinton says could change when Americans study Bush's stance on the issues. Despite the poll results, Clinton's public approval ratings have remained in the 60 percent range, higher than the 48 percent rating that the last two-term president, Republican Ronald Reagan, held at this stage of his tenure. Clinton said on Friday he would concentrate on his job for the remaining eight months of his presidency. ``My problem is not that I don't have anything to do, it's that I can't bear to go to sleep now, because I realize I've just got about eight months left and I want to get the most out of every day,'' he said. |
Clinton is more of an economic conservative than Bush 43.
Are you sure you are playing in the right sandbox?
