I wonder if he ever thinks about how he went from being adored to being part of the evil "duo". He has really lost so much "cred" in such a short time. It's really sad to me.

1. Sometimes short term ambitions and pressures
cause the best of us to succumb to lesser choices, shortsightedness and tunnel vision.

He's still that guy he always was for better or worse and the world still looks favorably to him.

2. me too
I used to be proud that we had such a master politician on the Dem side, someone who could outwit republicans and show them for the fools they are.

Unfortunately, I think the Clintons failed to sniff the winds of change in America, thanks to their newfound buddies, the bushes. They played politics the old-school way and with their own, to boot. That and the racial crap they pulled will alienate them from many progressives for a long time to come.

Major miscalculations.

5. Not me. I have a friend who got his book and had him autograph it for her.
She wanted to give it to me and I said, "Thanks, but no thanks". I hoped she would give it to somebody who would really appreciate it.

Frankly, I've had enough of his finger wagging lecturing and posturing to last a lifetime. I could care less who he had any sort of sex with, but lying under oath is a different story. If somebody is willing to lie under oath, what are the circumstances when they would absolutely not lie?

6. He crossed the "line".. Most ex-presidents sp;end their post-presidency being
IMPARTIAL, and concentrating on good-works..

Had Obama not run, his (and their) reputation would be intact..enhanced...

BC was startled by Obama's popularity and he (and her whole campaign) went into "cornered-injured animal mode"..

Ugly for anyone..and especially atrocious when doone by an ex-president..

He will NOT "recover" from this...nor will SHE..
