Otherwise despite all the character assassination attempts Clinton came out clean. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! This one is too good to let go by... Clean? Guess that depends on the definition of clean... Bill Clinton: 1. Admitted he lied affirmatively to the American people, his cabinet, his family and his friends. 2. Cost the US Treasury and us taxpayers somewhere around 11 million dollars for an investigation into perjury he could have saved by simply admitting the truth. 3. Agreed to a six figure settlement in a sex harassment case with Paula Jones. 4. Was admonished by a federal court for misleading the Court and subverting justice in a civil proceeding which included submitting false affidavits and knowingly giving misleading answers to a federal judge about the facts. 5. Paid that same Court a fine of $90,000.00 for his actions. 6. Plea bargained with the IC on his perjury and obstruction charges. 7. Accepted a five year suspension of his legal license. Is this your definition of "clean"??? JLA

<<Clinton released oil reserves to bring down the prices,>> And the prices kept going up. It wasn't an oil shortage but shortage of refinery capacity.

I agree with your point on President Bush looking like a genius when compared to Governor Davis. We all know thats not easy and glad you've been able to help with this.

Yes, energy prices spiked under Clinton - for eight years he had no energy policy except to shutter refineries and close off areas of production. No wonder he caused prices to go up. It has been established that his EPA's orders for "boutique" gasoline formulas caused shortages leading to high prices starting in the Spring of 2000. The posts are here on SI to confirm that fact and were made at the time. That's why Clinton made the cosmetic and totally political decision to invade the strategic petroleum reserves - to help shield AlGore from the effects of their policies in his losing campaign. Before that Clinton's calls for OPEC to raise prices were a major impetus to the price spikes the US has endured. Clinton called for higher OPEC prices because of all the bad loans AlGore made to the Russian crooks and the Russians needed higher oil prices to make the interest on those bad Gore loans. As for Clinton's otherwise failed presidency - two terms as a minority prez and impeachment - which polls show people support - all despite the full throttle establishment media backing - Bush stands as much more popular than the impeached Boy Blunder - and despite Bush's leadership on "unpopular" issues. People must find it nice to have an adult as President again. From today's WP: ....Bush has a 63 percent personal favorability rating in the poll and a 59 percent job approval score, the second-highest numbers recorded since he took office.....The latest survey shows Bush is faring much better so far than his predecessor. A Post-ABC poll in August 1993 found President Bill Clinton's negative job approval rating outweighing his positive score, 51 percent to 45 percent. Clinton was rated poorly on qualities in which Bush receives the highest marks -- being honest and trustworthy and upholding high moral and ethical standards. And as for Davis, everyone knows he is responsible for the extent of CA's energy problems. Davis refused pleas to go long when prices were low but just recently locked CA into high LT prices for the future, much higher than market prices. Meanwhile his aides were busy buying the stocks of energy companies! I guess they had insider knowledge of how Davis was screwing the consumer. Sure Davis's hired henchmen tried to blame energy companies, but now the public sees that Davis purposely bought the most expensive energy he could to smear the companies. No wonder Davis is the most reviled politician in CA outside of Dem icon Gary Condit.
