I Miss President Bill Clinton.


Where is the humanity now? I miss having a US President that could safely enter any country on the map and be greeted warmly by its inhabitants. He enjoys peace and has such a good heart. Remember what it was like to feel safe? This is the picture of what a good person is.

1. He hasn't left
He isn't President but we still get to see him speak and benefit from his work. The world loves him still because he is still part of the world, working for so many in need. Just love him in his new role. I do. I never turn away from C-Span if he is speaking. Nothing like Clinton speaking brilliantly off the top of his head.

3. He gets it.
He truly understands the world he lives in. Every time I see his face, I know this; his earnestness and intelligence can't be faked.

2. I miss him too
Every time I see numbnuts speachifyin', I just can't get over the fact that people voted for that guy. To go from Clinton to georgie is like going from lobster tails to fish sticks.

6. AAAAA! I KNOW. WTF???
I wish somebody could explain it to me in a way I'd understand. I can't comprehend the warm fuzzies some have for GWB. I CAN'T.

5. As a critic of President Clinton, President dumbfuck certainly puts things in perspective
The fact that military people couldn't find anything better to complain about but his improper salute really makes me realize just how much better things were better back then.

9. me too...it was nice to have a president who wasnt a national humiliation
when the repubs tried to make him a national humiliation..other countries laughed at us, for elevating extra marital affairs to an impeachable offense, but not at clinton..

yeah it was nice to have a leader who was respected by the world even if he wasnt perfect.

10. Remember how he was embraced by countries around the world?
I will never forget how loved he was by everyone. How people came up to him because he was truly a world leader, and he gave and gave until he had no more to give. He is an inspired and inspiring man.

:loveya:

11. You know what I REALLY love about Clinton?
Having been impeached and nearly ruined, he found the ability to still keep on GIVING OF HIMSELF instead of becoming a bitter, resentful recluse. He is a prince - flawed, but more human for it.

12. The man could
get a b-job, eat a pizza and handle dipolmatic urgencies on the phone simultaneously. I'd call that genius.

Bush manages to destroy an American city, provokes us into an immoral war, attempts to dismantle the constitution and can't swallow a pretzel without choking. I call that insanity.

Hell yes I miss the big Dawg.

15. Just look at his face...
in the pic you posted. That smile and hug are genuine. That's just not something you can fake as can be attested to by the vast number of babies who have been pictured crying in the arms of *ush.

16. he was never progressive enough for me
and I did not like alot of his rhetoric "the era of big government is over" for example. It does no good to adopt their rhetoric because it just validates their assumptions in their eyes. "See, government is evil, even Clinton and other Democrats agree".

I did not vote for him either time because of his Republican-sounding rhetoric. I had that luxury in 1996 because Dole was expected to lose big. Looking back, reading Begala and Reich, it seems that Clinton was better than I gave him credit for, but reading Tom Tomorrow it seems that he was worse than I gave him blame for too.

And all those years of record low unemployment, my business was still losing money all through the 1990s until I closed it in 1998 and then was unable to find a full time job with benefits. (At least not one with a decent commute. I could have worked at Winnebago if I wanted to drive two hours a day.)

I finally had to leave Iowa, (where Governor Vilsack kept talking about a future labor shortage that state needed to plan for) in order to find a real job.
