James Earl Clinton
His party controlled Congress and yet it rejected his domestic agenda. Public dissatisfaction with the corruption of the Democratic Congress turned the legislature over to the opposition party, which forced the president to accept budgetary restrictions and welfare reform.
Internationally, Bill Clinton was a pushover whose response to terrorism was to throw million-dollar missiles at $10 tents to hit a camel in the ass, as his successor reminded Mrs. Clinton on the day after 9/11.
Oh sure, world leaders love him. After Reagan and Bush, they finally got a lightweight. Hell, Saddam Hussein tossed him out of Iraq.
That great economy that Clinton brags about was a built on a house of cards that was fueled by his refusal to prosecute the crooks on Wall Street. This cost middle-class investors billions.
Enron happened on William Jefferson Clinton’s watch and was cleaned up by George Walker Bush.
Clinton’s 2 appointees to the Supreme Court were jokes. They are knee-jerk liberals without an original thought between them. They joined the effort this term to overturn Brown vs. Topeka, 1954.
Bush’s appointees stopped that.
Clinton chose as vice president an arrogant political prince whose wife wanted to censor rock lyrics.
Al Gore should have been jailed for his role in the Buddhist temple money laundering.
Gore’s academic career consisted of dropping out of divinity school (which he entered to cut short his tour of Vietnam) and flunking out of law school.
When he lost in 2000, Gore dragged the nation through an unnecessary post-election nightmare based on the irrefutable fact that he lost Florida.
Why in the hell would anyone want to repeat this failure?
To be sure, Clintion’s inept presidency far outshone James Earl Carter’s. But that’s like beating out James Buchanan.
Hillary Clinton won’t divorce the man, but she better start divorcing that presidency. There is no nostalgia to return to the halycon days of humiliation upon humiliation by Osama bin Laden, who blew up not just one but two U.S. embassies.
Liberals are very wary of her and not just for her weathervane position on the war, but also her husband’s anti-gay agenda.
Bill Clinton may have never served a day in the Army thanks to his Mommy’s connections to 2 U.S. senators, but that didn’t stop Bill Clinton (and a Democratic Congress) from codifying the don’t-ask, don’t-tell policy. As president, Clinton also signed the Defense of Marriage Act into law.
His turning the execution of a mental retard into a photo op in the 1992 campaign was very disturbing.
The blame for 9/11 is squarely on Osama bin Laden.
But post-9/11 efforts were hampered by the Clintonian wall between FBI anti-terrorism efforts and FBI anti-crime efforts. This was another example of the danger of inexperience.
President Bush 43 has had to clean up on Aisle 42 for most of his presidency. On subject after subject — battling terrorism, stopping Hussein, the economy, appointments to the Supreme Court, choice in vice presidents, cleaning up his own party’s corruption — Bush is head and shoulders above Bill Clinton.
In today’s Washington Post, Bill Kristol opined on “Why Bush Will Be A Winner.”
Clinton is a loser. He had 8 years uninterrupted by war or other disaster to set the nation’s course. Instead, he ran around in circles. His lone “accomplishments” were an inability to stop a Republican Congress from balancing the budget and reforming an inane welfare system.
