Bill Clinton a GREAT president

The simplest thing to do in order to verify you assesment that Clinton "just wasn't willing to commit fully to combatting this threat " is to be a bit more honest in qualifing the environment that was being operated under.

Economic prosperity + a Republican Congress + Attacks on a foreign soil

Anything Clinton did was ridiculed as costly, or as a diversion or as unnecessary; yet his administration still applied a greater focus on terror during the malestrom of Repbulican obstructionism and personal attack than Bush's prior to 9/11. Even after, the Bush administration has NOT adopted Hart/Rudman measures such as more security at sea ports, train routes or more funding/training to first responders ( fire fighters/EMT/police).
Before you give Bush the Usurper ANY credit, just look up how much has actually been funded towards domestic security. Yet, we have a Billion dollar a day campaign in the wings on a fantasy that anything Iraqi can hurt the US.

9/11, Usama Bin Ladin and North Korea's nukes...will come out in history books looking bad for Clinton.

Well who the hell was it that posted the article about how clinton was the one to cause Enron, he subsidised millions of dollars for enron to build a power plant in India, that power plant eventually was a cataclysm in Enron, since India decided to stop paying their power bills, but continue to use the facility.

Who was it that posted that? Clinton was the worst president ever, he was a stinking turd, but like a truffle, nice smelling chocolate coating on the outside, only this truffle has a heap of dog poo in it.

Such eloquence, Mason.....please educate us, on anything you like, that Mr. Bush has improved the American standard on over his predecessor.

Did you know that states in your region, since Bush 'took' office, have the highest per capita unemployment? Just a FYI

Did you know that the recent unemployments are due to the economic crisis that Clinton caused? The current administration has nothing to do with the 8 years of sucking and cutting that Clinton did (sucking in more ways than on )...Clinton both cheated our economy (by subsidising companies to build factories//services in other nations) and burned it out (by under spending in a "fiat money" based economy)

The later isn't a malicious thing, but you can't have 0 or positive deficit in a fiat money economy (keynesian economics)...you need the GOLD STANDARD to do such things.

Further more Clinton passed many unconstitutional legislatures without the approval of congress, through regulatory commissions.

No man took such a fat turd on our Constitution, except maybe Roosevelt.

I don't judge people on what they intend to do but how they do it, Clinton says (he may indeed be selling america out on purpose) that he was intending to better the economy and such, but what he did was cut out a LOT of the constitution, and let the IRS grow even more uncontrollable.

All this happend in HIS 8 years, none of it during Bush's Administration.

All bush can be blaimed for is the "Patriot Act" which actually may be a blessing in desguise (The Patriot Act Will hopefully set people off enough that they'll start to see how much clinton turds are on the constitution, and start to clean things up a bit)

RULE BY LAW BT!! I think you posted the link to that somewhere around here.

Clinton was a bad man, because he has led an unconstitutional government, more unconstitutionally, comming second only to when Roosevelt dismissed the Gold Standard.

Still don't know who posted that link to the "Snub economics "clinton style" or whatever it was called...I know it was something -- clinton style.

Stop blaming bush for stuff clinton caused in his 8 years.

The economy and job losses were happening during the primaries, before bush or gore even were the chosen candidates.

Why is it that only those who didn't care much for Clinton are the only ones that see the glaring fact that the economic nosedive was already on us before Bush took office?

Java - One sick example of Democrats using the economic woes as a political tool was when they blamed Bush for things AFTER 9/11.

9/11 ruined many different industries around the US, but Democrats turned a blind eye to this and blamed Bush's policies for people losing their jobs.

There is nothing scummier than using a national disaster like 9/11 for political gain. The irony is that the public saw right through the BS and kicked Democrats out of their seats in Congress. People don't like liars...

Java, if there are any news archives (I don't pay for that sh.it) but you can find all the evidence you want of the debates going on BEFORE THE PRIMARIES! if the decline in the economy would reach the level of a recession.

Perhaps, actually this is better, get a 5 year data sheet of the Dow Jones and NASDAQ and all that. See for yourself.
