j_b,

As far as Pres. Clinton's promises to his fellow democrats, doesn't the fact his cooperation with Repubs in congress enabled the long-sought for control of our national debt count for anything?

A President whose political adversaries control the congress can only accomplish so much; therefore, the democrats need to be a little introspective and ask themselves why they couldn't get elected to congress in order to therefore achieve the passage of their programs.

In foreign affairs, Pres. Clinton has always had strong opposition to his actions & decisions. The conservatives who believe he's weakened the military always conducted strong campaigns against his foreign policy. This is nothing new. Jimmy Carter's criticism probably has something to do with his wanting to distance himself from a President in trouble, since he was such a strong supporter in the past.

I agree with your statements about ethics. It's extremely important, however, IMO in this particular instance "the devil we know" is capable of using his excellent people skills, communication expertise,world leadership etc. in ways that could solve some serious world problems in his remaining time as President.

As another poster at SI finishes all his posts "but what do I know":o)
