The actions taken on September 11th are a direct result of one man's skewed thought process after we based troops and supplies in Saudi Arabia. Bill Clinton did not screw up Bin Ladin's mind. I have no argument with this. bin laden is crazy all on his own.
The GOP has been trying like hell to sink Clinton since before he was elected in 1992 (Jenifer Flowers). The witch hunt did not stop even after he left. Try to think of any other President in history who could stand up to the same level of scrutiny Bill Clinton endured. Less than a handful would fare as well IMHO. More like the only president in history to have as many blind eyes turned to his immorality and selfishness.
The Reagan Prosperity was due to a Republican President and the Clinton Prosperity was due to a Republican Congress? Hmmmmmmmm? No the prosperity in this country is caused by the people who work and make it happen. The people who take risks and the people who wake up everday and work all day. Washington does nothing but stiffle it and take away from it and doesn't do the job it is supposed to do, both parties. The government can and sometimes does also help by lowering taxes and removing restrictions/regulations, but how often does that happen?
Reagan and the Republicans of the mid 90's did their best to stop the democrats from crippling the economy with more taxes and regulations (regulations translates into more taxes most of the time). Which paved the way for the risk taking and investment of the 90's hehe they say there is no such thing as trickle down economics. Well watch it work in reverse now
Clinton was a fool to do what he did. But he was hardly the antichrist portrayed in some posts I've read here. Get over it already! I got over it the day he left office, though we'll be paying for it for years I fear, the slowdown started in his last year in office so the blame for this recession is his. He did nothing to stop it, not that he could have done any thing to stop the cycle but he didn't even make an attempt or give it any lip service. Why should he give a toejam anyway he's set up for life his economy won't slow down.
The way he left office made my day and was purely typical Clinton in his natural state. History will know what a self serving person he is. As far as I can tell the only person on this Earth that he worries about is himself.
As the leader of our nation and military for the last 8 years he does deserve a good portion of the blame for our current situation. You can try and skip a president or 2 back and blame Reagan and Bush. It's fine by me if you want to live in a world of falsehoods and myths. The world respected us then and 8 years later they don't. Bush hasn't been in office for a year and people try to blame him. That's about the funniest and strangest thing I've ever heard. I don't understand how some people can be so ignorant.
But like I said at the beginning of the thread, there's plenty of blame to go around. I'm willing to take my part of the blame and to blame the Republicans for thier part, why won't some of you Democrats do the same? I mean after all you guys are supposed to be the "enlightened" ones right? and us souuthern chromisone missing christian bigots are the neanderthal nazis right?
I think I could go on forever, but dinner is ready
see yall tomarow!
