<<Bill Clinton is an amazing individual. Intelligent, folksy, charming, easy to listen to. He has a lot of talent. And he co-opted the Republican agenda in the middle 90s, after the Republicans took Congress in '94, and he was forced to move to the center, himself. And this was a brilliant thing to do, tactically. Because of it, legislation got passed, including China, Free Trade, Welfare Reform, more police to fight crime, balanced budgets.......remember when these were primarily Conservative themes?
He showed himself to be flexible, and adaptable. Unfortunately, his values and integrity were also changeable. I credit him for both the good and the bad.>>
An excellent post. Is this the curmudgeon thread?
