Thread Name: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
Subject: RE: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
I hate to agree with George Will, but Clinton should be remembered as a liar and an opportunist who found his convictions in opinion polls. Ask Gore why he lost the election, and if he's honest, he'll say it was Clinton's shadow. Although he was an improvement on CIA chief/war criminal Bush, that's not saying much. He discarded his campaign pledges about Haiti and China trade, continued assinine policies regarding Iraq and Libya, and his search for a legacy is piling up bodies in the West Bank. Domestically, he championed good ideas like National Health Care with an ineptness that set these causes back a decade. Clinton stumbled thru his first two years, arousing the wrath of accumulated a-holes in Congress, and only after the budget crisis did he seem up for the battle. George W. will make Clinton seem like the good old days, though.
