3. What's it like to have a president you respect?
I forgot what that felt like. :cry: Bill Clinton will always be my President. I am a child of the 90s.

7. If it wasn't a funeral
Half the people there would have given Clinton a thunderous ovation. I remember LA2000 when they showed a video of world leaders heaping praise on him. It went on and on.

At least * will have the Prime Minister of Micronesia, eh?

13. Clinton may very well be the best politician of the twentieth century but
Reagan was no slouch. Reagan was a master story teller and extremely charming. He charmed America with his BS. I'm sure if such a concerted effort to bring down Clinton hadn't been made Clinton would have gone down in history (without question) as the most prolific and brilliant man of the century.

14. The amazing thing about the Big Dog
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 12:49 PM by Ironpost
he is so down to earth, so condescending, so knowledgeable, no stiff shirt here, and such a wonderful person. You gotta' love the man, the whole world does. I feel safe in saying he is loved by more than anyone in history.

15. "so condescending," ????????????
Maybe you meant something else? Condescending is not a compliment.

16. I'm not a master of the english language as you can see.
Thanks for pointing it out, no harm done, but Bill Clinton is one hell of a man and statesman.

17. <sigh> I MISS him so much.
:cry: Every time the man speaks, I am awestruck. He is so damn smart and when compared to the idiot-in-chief, well.......you know! There's NO comparison. Thank you for posting these. Great pics!

I can't wait until his book tour! We'll all get to see him....constantly! I'm sure he'll get some plugs in for Kerry too. :)
