It is frustrating to hear the same old stuff about how great Clinton is in his job performance. Can anyone truly say that Clinton would have had the guts to hire Volcker and stay with him? Can anyone say that Clinton would have spearheaded the defense buildup that broke the back of the Soviet Union? How about the guts it took to decide that the S&L bailout needed to be done? How about forming the coalition for the Gulf War? Clinton's presidency has been successful because he has been prevented from doing the precise things he wanted to do. National Health, the economic stimulus package, the executive order, raising taxes in the last five years after that ridiculous tax increase in 1993. This guy has been a caretaker president from day one and now with the extensive damage his shenanigans have done to the Presidency, it will take generations to restore it to its original state.

You are obviously not the owner of a small business. Let me tell you about the hell your life would be if you had Clinton as an employee. You would be facing all sorts of employee lawsuits from your woman employees charging you with a hostile workplace. You could not fire our man, because he has a disability, sexual addiction. Your company would be severely restricted from doing important government work because your employee Clinton could not get a security clearance. Your personal life would be a fishbowl because any attempt to reign in your employee would result in a ferocious investigation of your personal life and a whole band of his friends bad mouthing you all over town. Any legal action you took against Clinton would result in endless motions and subpoenas and total non compliance on his part. A motion to compel would have to filed by you on every single thing you wanted from him. It is doubtful your business could survive an employee like Clinton. This is why so many people want this guy stopped, we all see a tremendous double standard that threatens our livelihoods.

There are many people who are serving serious sentences in jail for lying during civil cases. What is the point of entering into litigation to right a wrong that has been done to you if the other side gets a pass to lie. I am not so naive to believe that people won't lie but I want it real clear that if you do I am going to do my best to catch you and I expect the law to sanction you.

Lastly, just what is the Presidency all about? Why should we be lectured on family values when the President doesn't even respect his own daughter enough not to humiliate her? Why should we give a moment's notice to the written diarrhea in "It Takes A Village" when Mrs. Clinton acts as if nothing has happened when she has been totally humiliated? This stuff matters to people in their own lives and it certainly matters now.
