Wow...... You said (in reference to President Clinton): <<I think he was one of the best>> I have tried to stay out of the ongoing debate about the virtues or lack thereof of various past presidents (several of whom I worked for directly/indirectly as a writer/public affairs officer/public affairs specialist, and with whom I got to shake hands and meet in person occasionally. However, some statements made so far cannot go unchallenged. Carter so far (in my opinion and the opinion of many others who are probably older than you and have vivid memories) was probably ONE of the worst this country has ever seen in terms of being a bleeding heart and therefore bleeding the federal government and his inflation-wracked taxpayers to waste money on trying to make government "solve" rising unemployment and help the poor, when unemployment was a structural problem which still exists today and while poverty is still a problem which leads to even more unemployment for some people. Carter also made a famous/infamous and often-ridiculed statement (which you can find quoted somewhere in your history search), expressing amazement that he was betrayed in his well-publicized love of the Soviet Union and his trust of its leaders). Reagan had no such illusions, as I recall. Clinton was THE worst--so far-- in terms of distracting the American taxpayer with his personal charm and disrespecting the Presidency with his Oval Office/Monica shenanigans, all the while squandering U.S. military assets on minor skirmishes around the world which had little or nothing to do with U.S. national security and had not a thing to do with anti-U.S. terrorism--terrorism which arose big-time on our own shores right after he left office. (Don't ask me to elaborate; get out your history books or do a Google search and get a taste of modern history under Clinton). Sorry...I know this isn't a political thread, and I have no desire to make it one because I have little time to read it for its intended purpose of real estate, but some statements look so outrageous that someone has to respond to them wherever they crop up.
