you have said that repeatedly in posts........what costs? The cost of cleaning up what can only be classified as a foreign policy nightmare. What is the cost to the United States of his having stood idly by while weapons inspectors were ejected from Iraq. Easily Billions. The cost of lost opportunities that occurred when the nation was left on autopilot while Clinton attempted to defend his actions, including felony perjury. Easily Billions. The cost of an entire generation being brought up to lie at a moment's notice, without regard for the meaning of truth. Sheerly incalculable. The cost of that same generation being brought up to believe that the law doesn't matter, because even convicted drug dealers and Marc Rich can walk away scott free. Incalculable. The cost of Irrational Exhuberance, a price we have all paid over the last couple of years. We don't know what his involvement in 9/11 was, but it certainly was substantial. You could never allocate cost to it. Bottom line: The 8 years of Clinton cost the people of the United States untold billions, even trillions. Sickening, incalculable, but true. You truly need to accept it. Clinton's years, wrongly or rightly, will be seen as a golden era. I have absolutely no concern that history could conceivable remember Clinton as anything but a scandal-ridden failure, the sorriest president of the last half of the century (followed closely by LBJ & Carter).
