Perhaps a more telling story would be the nation debt under each President.

RPM, did Clinton go to war while he was in office? Did Clinton jump at the opportunity when the Middle East offered him Osama Bin Laden?

Nice perception.
but is it true?

How'd he do it?
Particularly with a republican controled congress.

Whatever our dept is. Both sides had a hand in it.

Is this a typical example of distraction response?  Don't like the statement made by someone else, don't respond to it, since it isn't what someone may want to hear or a truth someone doesn't want to face, they change the subject while completely ignoring the original statement?

I think before changing the subject, answer the original, then and only then move on.

To ignore it is weak.

Actually your post fits that example better. RPM was on subject and pointing at a flaw. You merely whined that he wasn't ... and not much else after that. :D

Don't pay attention to Arlo.  He gets like that when he runs out of booze.

See for a squeaker, i find stuff. But I cant understand why people want Hillary to be president. Bush kept taxes down AND went to war. Not only that but he took down a viscious tyrant. Everyone wants them out but we will be under attack again if we do an immediate withdrawl. But hey, I just put what I find. "YOU DECIDE!!"

Bush was interviewed on the Public Television show "Nightly Business Report" this evening.

Here is a link to the transcript.   You be the judge of his man!

P.S. - I rarely meet people who think that Bush is "bad".   A more common perception is that he is a bungling Fool.
