"Does that show "disdain" for the President of the USA?" It shows "disdain" for the former President. I gave Clinton respect until he used it all up.

In 1992, the United States learned that China had transferred missile technology to Pakistan. Clinton ordered, as a sanction, that no U.S. sophisticated satellites be launched on Chinese rockets. This was a blow to U.S. manufacturers of high-tech satellites who were depending on state-subsidized, low-cost Chinese rockets to launch their satellites. As Hughes and Loral have contributed $2.5 million to the Democratic Party since 1991, then-Hughes chief C. Michael Armstrong wrote two tough letters to Clinton, reminding him of past support. Upset at losing business to European rivals, he urged Clinton to let U.S. companies use China's rockets and to transfer control of satellite
