Clinton has done nothing on prescription drugs. Nothing. Likewise, he has been the worst offender of current campaign finance laws in history. In history. Gore is being investigated for campaign finance irregularities this very moment. To say they are leading in campaign finance reform is, in a word, laughable. To blame the republican congress is even more absurd.

If you define leadership in regard to campaign finance reform as breaking the law and having another female supporter serve jail time for you. They yes, you're right they have lead. Leadership is about setting an example and developing followship Kenneth, not talking about what is wrong, then setting the wrong example. It's about doing, when the doing takes courage and vision, not lying and obfuscating when the truth makes you look bad. Clinton and Gore have lead on next-to-nothing in nearly 8 years. At best they have followed when congress has lead. That line in Bush's speech which went "They have not lead, we will" was the most revealing accurate assessment of the Clinton/Gore years yet made. I don't know you Kenneth, and I am sorry to say this, but I don't think you have a clue what leadership is all about because Clinton/Gore have done everything except lead. Michael
