I think the point is that billy prez lied to save his butt in the Paula Jones case. All he had to do is keep his mouth shut, but instead he lied in an affirmative way so that in the Paula Jones case he might limit his damages. There is nothing wrong about keeping your mouth shut, and exercising your legal rights, but when you lie in order to put yourself in a better position, well that just makes you a lier. Not the guy I would want to buy a used car from, or trust in running our country. The only thing saving billy's butt is the computer revolution. I can just see him saying "Man, I have to be the luckiest guy alive." I'm under attack from everywhere,(and rightfully so) and this economy, with which I had nothing to do with, just keeps blasting along, In the meantime, the real people of this country are displaced and unemployed, and I just haven't heard billy thinking about them lately. Remember his health care program? A lot of big promises. Then, all of a sudden, it went away. A Swiss bank account, maybe? Seems to like Chinese donations though. Vitas

James: Now you have mentioned something we disagree on. Secret Service officers are law officers. Their loyalty is to the "Office of the Presidency" not to the man. And, most of all their loyalty is to the people of this country! They will not be questioned about matters of state. Clinton could end all this, by just coming clean. But, he is far to dirty and self serving to do that. Clinton as President, is probably, the best politician seen in the office! But, he is most likely the most corrupt this country has ever seen! Maybe JFK, had he lived, would be number one. Nothing like having daddy Joe, get the mob to help get his son elected! Regards, LG
