Slider, Let me tell you a little secret- both Oklahoma and Texas voted Republican in 1992 and again in 1996 Presidential Elections. Also Al Gore's most serious challenger in Year 2000 is the current Governor of Texas, George Bush, Jr.

So the last thing that that the Clinton Administration wants to do right now is to help either Oklahoma or Texas...heh, heh. The Okies and the Tejanos have "zero stroke" in this Administration... This Administration "takes names" and punishes political enemies. Look at Utah. Mssrs. Clinton and Gore delivered a tremendous "screw you" to Utah just before the 1996 Presidential Election and withdrew the entire southern 1/3d of Utah from land use under federal land laws.

Bottom line- Pres Clinton never received a majority vote of the US electorate in either the 1992 or 1996 elections. It has undermined the effectiveness of this Presidency from Day One....

However we got a tremendous laugh over the withdrawal because neither of them had the courage to do their dirty politics right in Utah- but announced the withdrawal from here in Arizona from the Grand Canyon,ha!

But one thing about the speech struck me as weird. The feds will sue the tobacco industry right? Is it not strange that the feds are also subsidizing tobacco farmers in the Carolinas to grow more tobacco???? Truly weird.....I now have a feel for how it must have been to live under Emperor Nero's reign....
