need to plain to some Rip
Clinton has the lenses cap on his binocs, didn't take them off as he feared to look stupid during the photo op ... he succeeded didn't he :)
-
At first, I thought GW had his backwards...but then one of my Ft.Lewis buddy's on my mailing list corrected me and said that GW was using them correctly (note the eye pieces, too far apart if you turned it around)

Rhodes Scholar
?
what's that ?

Me thinks that is a touched up pic of Clinton. The story I heard was that GWB was looking through binoc's at North Korea with the lens cap on.
Bush stopped at Camp Ouelette, which sits on a hilltop among a tangle of razorwire. Flags from the United States, United Nations and South Korea fluttered in the breeze.
The president strode up to his sandbag bunker and took in the scene, his hands jammed into his pockets. Then he took up the binoculars to try to spot a village on the North Korean side and immediately realized he needed to take the lens cap off.
Clinton haters will go to any length won't they?
-
Hehe, its not touched up Midknight, I remember the picture on the evening news when it happened. :)

It's a scholarship he was award with which he spent one year at Oxford, dropped out and protested the Vietnam war and visited the USSR ...
mt, we don't have to go far as his actions makes it very easy :)

At some point, anyone that's used binoculars tried with the lens cap on. Its just that most decided it would be more prudent to remove the lens cap than to sit there pretending they were off.
Its classic Clinton... more concerned with how he looked doing something than what he was actually doing.

Yeah, boy ole Dubya is doing a great job with our economy. Sure 9/11 hurt, but you gotta love Dubya's policies. I mean afterall, he lied to everyone about the "tax relief" he provided. That return everyone got last year, that "bonus" ... well, dont worry, it was an advance on this year's return, you'll be paying it back.
Thanks Dubya!

we'll only be paying more if the dumocrats get their way...
did you think $300 or $600 a tax paying household was gonna bring us totally out of the recession? Sorry, it was my money - I'm happy to have it back.
Bush was stuck with the downcycle of the economic sine wave his dad and before that Reagan started & Clinton rode it's wave up (while not trying at all to control). Timing is all, as the bubble was allowed to grow without restraints, whoever would have won in 2000 would have been hit with the burst. Jr was just the lucky one ... better him than Gore. He'd try to have us all blame it on Global warming and the automobile :)

Yeah your right. All the successes this country enjoyed during Clinton's eight year administration was just a result of roadkill Reagonomics. Yeah, thats it.
:D

Actually a result of over-inflated tech stocks, looks like the market is adjusting for that now. :D
I see the BAR association has gotten ahold of you politically as well ;)
Incidently, the Dems in the house think that $25,000/yr is rich...so if your hitting 6 digits a year, thats why your getting raped on taxes.

Nim... the recession started during Clinton's administration. You gotta know that means something.
Unchecked economic growth is relevant. Reagan allowed it and so did Clinton. Both left a recession in their wake.

Yeah, good point DJ. However, I cant stand when Republicans try to shove the successes of the Clinton Administration onto Reagan/Bush's back. Unemployment was at an all time low, the economy was great (for 7.5 years). I'll take 7 years for 1 bad any day of the week.
And Rip, I aint makin' toejam right now. Certainly not the 6 figures I deserve. And all my political viewpoints were developed before law school :) I am actually against all politics. I think Republicans and Democrats are a bunch of worthless weenies who give a toejam about the country and prefer to just go to work and argue with each other all day about who is right. Its just a game to them. Of course that doesnt apply to all politicians, but a good part of 'em. My viewpoints do, however, generally fall on the left side of things. Although I suspect, fiscally in any event, I will be moving more and more to the right as I earn more and more $ :)

That's because Clinton came in on an upswing. He never had to try to recover from a downswing.
Its all cyclical... as many point out. It just seems everyone is fighting to take credit for the good times... and assign credit for the bad.
Basically... I don't see the current state of the economy as being Bush's fault. We can critique his decisions all we want, but he simply did not get this ball rolling... he's just trying to stop it.
I can't say many have successfully done that since term limits were installed for presidents;)

Oh lets not forget the low moral depths that trash took us too. Yea Ole Wild Bill was a blessing to our country..... He is foul. Of course its only the opinion of me and the majority of the country;)
-
*rolls eyes - and to think I tried to help you! :D
I'm not saying Bill was a morally good person, but he was a good President. At least he could publically speak and was truly intelligent. Dubya is an absolute moron and cannot speak publically to save his life.
I will give Dubya one thing, he coralled one helluva cabinet!

Not true at all. He maintained a very high approval rating right up to the end.
So ......I'm guessing Gerald Ford is responsible for the Reagan boom?
What really gets me is all you guys who think Clinton was the freakin antichrist! He was just a guy the majority of the Country felt deserved the office, and that the majority of the Country felt did a good job. Sure he pulled a couple of stupid stunts, but he also led us through the greatest economic growth in our nations history.
You all remind me of a team who lost 8 straight and instead of congratulating the winner, you scream how you were cheated.

got an email, didn't know where else to put it so I stuck it here: :)
THE TRAIN RIDE:
In a train carriage there was Bill Clinton, George Bush, Janet Jeno and Bo Derek.
After several minutes into the trip, the train passes thru a dark tunnel and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard.
When they leave the tunnel, Clinton has a big red slap mark on his cheek.
(1) Bo Derek thought - "that sleazeball Clinton wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have put his hand on Janet Reno, who in turn must have slapped his face."
(2) Janet Reno thought - "that dirty Bill Clinton laid his hands on Bo Derek and she smacked him."
(3) Bill Clinton thought- "George put his hand on Bo Derek and by mistake she slapped me."
(4) George Bush thought- "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack Clinton again.
