Thread Name: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
Subject: RE: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
I liked the man, and I liked the president. Charming, very smart, eloquent, empathetic, savvy. Notg perfect and i did not agree with everything he did but i think bya nd large he did a pretty great job as president.

The fact he had a sex drive was actually sorta comforting to me. Pity he got caught with his pants down; but I never though that was anyone;s business but his family's and those directly affecetd by it. The fact that "he lied to the American people" about his sex life is silly. The impeachment, which was over blow jobs and trying to deny what was no one's business (that's what it was about, let's face it), was just silly and wasted a whole lot of time and money that could have been better utilized in other ways.

He promised if elected to overturn the so-called "gag" rule under which federally-funded clinics were not allowed to discuss abortion as an option to pregnant women. he overturned itin the first week of his presidency. he has doen his best to uphold women's reproductive rights; in this country, in recent years, that is saying a lot.

I'd have blown him, too if I had the same opportunity Monica had. And would never have befriended a monster like Linda Tripp; and would not have had anything left on a dress to even have to worry about whether to take it to the cleaners right away, ro six months later, or never.

Two little liberal ole ladies were discussing it on the bus and when they said oh that girl's poor parents, I interjected and said "I dunno, if my daughter had sesx with the president I'd be proud; I mean, that was pretty cool," they said, aw, you're so cute...

but I digress I suppose.

No human being is perfect. Those who aspire to political power are perhaps flawed, and gifted, in ways unique to that sort of ambition. We must bear that in mind when judging such individuals.
