Bush's answer of "No" to this question in no way implies support of Clinton's crimes.

When he answered, I got the feeling he was also saying "Oh, no, you aren't going to trap me with that one!"

If he'd said YES, we'd have loved it, (and according to a poll I saw today, most people would have agreed) but how do you think that one would have played in the mainstream media?

I don't think it would have been very pretty, and it would have given Hillary! more ammo.

I agree, Amelia.

If President Bush made an issue of Clinton's wrongdoing, Hillary would use it to attack Bush and the Republicans.

Here is where we will probably disagree, though. I believe that if Hillary started a shooting war with the Republicans, the Democratic Party would never recover.

The Democrats could not survive a full disclosure of their actions during Clinton's administration.

I can't be the only one to realize that. President Bush is not dumb, we all know, despite what his Democratic opponents said about him. He has to know that a public fight about these issues wiuld give him a second term, and fill both houses of Congress with Republicans.

I consider his avoidance of the fight either an act of corruption, or of cowardice.

You think causing a fight would assist in law makers working together (it's tough enough as it is!). I think he is a uniter, and is tired of seeing the crap the Clintons did. If he does what you desire, then just change his name to Bill #2 because he will be lowering himself to their level. He is above that. WTFO?
