Gee, what a well reasoned argument Tommie. NOT! Not one fact presented, not one chain of logic... just your mystical views on 'reality'. What are you... the Rasputin of this thread?

Hillary Blasts Bush on Biz Scandals Tuesday July 9, 2002; 2:25 p.m. EDT newsmax.com New York Senator Hillary Clinton blasted President Bush late Monday for waiting so long to tackle the recent wave of business scandals that have sent the stock market reeling and caused a crisis of confidence in U.S. corporations. During a Middletown, N.Y. appearance, Mrs. Clinton complained that neither the Bush administration nor the Securities and Exchange Commission had "shown much leadership" as the corruption unfolded. In a direct reference to the president's remarks during a Monday press conference, Clinton charged, "I don't think it is adequate to just say there are some bad people and that we're going to go after them," according to Middletown's Times Herald-Record. "We need to go further than enforcing the laws that we've got because I don't think the laws are necessarily adequate," said Mrs. Clinton, who only recently escaped enforcement of laws prohibiting vote trading in exchange for presidential pardons. Clinton was not asked about her own involvement in a suspicious 1980 cattle futures trading episode, which experts say also likely violated the law. "We have got to stay ahead of all those natural impulses people have to take advantage of each other," she urged. Mrs. Clinton delivered her remarks hours after a CNN/USAToday/Gallup poll was released showing that a majority of Americans say her husband's "moral failings in office" had encouraged business leaders to behave unethically.
