I agree, Amelia.You think causing a fight would assist in law makers working together?
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 (Bush's) avoidance of the fight either an act of corruption, or of cowardice.

"...assist in law makers working together?!!"
That's just another way of saying that we need to be "bi-partisan."
Bush is too good to sink to the Democrats level?
The Democrats fight for what they believe.
Is Bush too good to sink to that level?
Democrat Clinton got basicly anything he asked for at a time when the Republicans had a majority in both houses of Congress. Now I'm told that Conservative projects don't have a chance of passing, because the Republicans only have control of the House, the Presidency, and 49 percent of the Senate.
Yes, I want a fight.
I want people who claim to be Conservative to stop rolling over every time a liberal project needs to be passed. I want Conservatives to actually do what they say they believe in. I want people who claim to be moral leaders to actually lead.
As I said before, it won't happen.
Republicans are liberals, just like the Democrats.
Democrats just don't have to lie about it.
