This whole article just says it all about Clinton...I know you gave us the link, DMA, but this one was so anti-American, IMO, that I just had to post the entire thing. It would take a complete dunder head to not know that ALL American's are upset by the election.... And YES, after the multi-counting by the Democrats, the only way the Republicans would have believed the vote count was to count the entire state of FL again, and probably the entire USA. So for Clinton to say something like this, when this is "supposed" to be a time of "healing" and "peaceful turnover of government" is beyond self-centeredness....this is something like a small child would say who was lying about something, and didn't want to get caught by his parents. The Democrats TRY, and nearly succeed STEALING the election, and then their fairhaired masthead blames the other side for being in the way....The UTTER GALL of him... Clinton Says Republicans Won by Stopping Vote Tuesday January 9 9:12 PM ETTuesday January 9 9:12 PM ET By Steve Holland dailynews.yahoo.com CHICAGO (Reuters) - President Clinton said on Tuesday that George W. Bush only won the presidential election because Republicans stopped the vote counting in Florida. The soon-to-be ex-president let some of his frustrations out at the outcome of the White House race in a speech to Democratic supporters in Chicago, the city where his 1996 Democratic National Convention was held. At a campaign-style farewell event, Clinton appeared on stage with Vice President Al Gore's campaign chairman, Chicago son Bill Daley. Clinton praised Daley in such a way as to make it sound like he believes Gore was the rightful winner. ``I think he did a brilliant job in leading Vice President Gore to victory,'' Clinton said. When the crowd of 3,000 or so roared in a convention hall at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel, Clinton warmed to the topic, saying Daley kept the Gore campaign on track through its rough spots. ``They thought the election was over, the Republicans did. By the time it was over, our candidate had won the popular vote, and the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida,'' Clinton said. Many Democrats feel Republicans stole the election from Gore, who won the popular vote by a half million votes nationwide but lost a court battle over disputed ballots. Republicans on the other hand believe Gore was trying to steal the election from Bush by trying to get votes recounted in heavily Democratic counties of Florida. Clinton urged his supporters not to let ``any disappointment you may feel'' from the election outcome to take away the pride they have in him and Gore for what they were able to accomplish over the last eight years. Best Is Yet To Come ``I'm telling you, there's still a lot of big challenges out there. But I'm leaving this country in good shape. And the best is still to be. You just rare back, stay together and keep fighting for tomorrow,'' he said, as confetti flew into the air. It was the last speech in a day of remembrances for Clinton as he prepares to turn over the presidency to Bush on Jan. 20. He spent the day hopscotching in two states that were critical to his election in 1992 and re-election in 1996 -- Michigan and Illinois. When he won the two states in the Democratic primary battle in 1992, it meant he was essentially the party's nominee for president. He travels to another important state, New Hampshire, on Thursday. Stopping first at Michigan State University -- where he tussled with Bush's father former President George Bush in the last presidential debate of the 1992 campaign -- Clinton walked down memory lane and staked a claim for credit for the economic boom during his presidency. ``We began with a clear strategy to get the economy going -- it had three elements: Get the deficit down and get rid of it, invest more in our people, sell more American goods and services around the world. The American people did the rest,'' he said. He and his aides have bristled at comments from Bush and his staff that the economy is going into a tailspin at the end of Clinton's term. At James Ward School in Chicago, a school built in 1874, Clinton urged the incoming administration to work hard on improving education. ``We will hear a lot of talk in the future, I'm sure, about education reform, and I applaud it,'' he said. ``I hope that education reform all across America will become more and more a bipartisan issue.''
