How soone we forget that Bill Clinton along with his bright wife was the 'Change"
we were looking for in the 90's. And they did a pretty good job of making the government work for people through his reconstructed FEMA. desesigned Social Security Administration, and family-friendly work place. How soon we forget that he faced off the GOP and passed tax cuts for the middle class while raising them on the wealthy and it did not cause the economy to die as the RW predicted. His administration did it WITHOUT a single vote from the Republicans with Al Gore casting the single vote needed. How soon we forget that Bill made us proud as he traveled the world hot spots and helped bring opposition sides to the table in Ireland, Israel, and the move to stop the genocide of millions of Muslims in Serbia. Yeah, he blew it on Rwanda and has admitted it. While we give Kerry and Edwards and others accoladge for admitting they were wrong about Iraq, Bill get no credit for stepping up to the plate and admitting his mistake concerning Rwanda although he says that was his biggest regret of his two terms. How soon we forget that he at least tried to get a ME peace deal with Israel and Palestinians and was highly praised by the late King of Jordan for his fearless efforts. How soon we for get how the world admired his courage in the face of his sex scandal (which most Europeans and others thought should have remained a private matter between him and his wife.). How soon we forget the pain and suffering that Hillary must have undergone as RW and some Dem Hillary haters dissed a young Chelsea, ridiculed Hillary as being the cause of Bills marriage violations, talked about her own looks and "robo hips" and how a really meaningless statement about choosing to go to college and get a law degree instead of staying home and baking cookies and holding teas was turned into a major slander against stay-at-home moms by the media. How soon we forget that the Clintons were relatively poor coming into the WH and they were hated by the Dem insiders for having been able to win twice against all odds. How soon we forget that 9/11 ripped the heart out of NY and NYC and that the Bush administration had lied to us all and had well over 70% of the people ready to fight anyone that just looked evil to us. How soon we forget that Dems were called soft on terrorism and Islamic lovers and how that allowed GWB to walk into othe WH for a second term. How soon we forget that the Clintons, unashamedly championed causes of African Americans and were not afraid to embrace them publicaly and to befriend them privately. How soon we forget that Clinton was the first President to have a cabinet that looked like America by appointing blacks, women, and handicapped and gays to the highest levels of his administration. WTF is wrong with you people that you would allow the media to define, label, and smear them the way they do? WTF is wrong with America that men who have laid their lives on the line for this coutry--John Kerry, Max Cleland, and now John McCain --can become targets of smear campaigns by their opponents and opportunists and disqualify them from Presidency. If this had been the case in 1960, JFK would never have been elected to office. I am not a fan of John McCain, but this latest shit is more of the same that knocks off real patriots from serving their country. What is wrong with America?
