60. Message Deleted.........................................not really

Bill Clinton was real, that's what scared the right...a man you could follow into battle, not the pussy we have in office now.

[seabeyond]

11. lol lol lol sigh back at you

just went thru pictures and then read your post. you are right on

[lancdem]

2. Cool photos

Thanks for posting this, romantico!

[samsingh]

3. i love President Bill Clinton

he is a great man and leader.

[Lefta Dissenter]

4. I just saw him on CSPAN

this last weekend, and it reminded me of how reassuring he was! Jeez, you just knew that he understood the issues, CARED about the issues, and knew how to handle things.

OK, so now I'm really, really depressed.....

[Sophree]

33. I noticed that, too.

How reassuring he was/is. Particularly when he was speaking about the gay marriage issue. (Summary)- Gays in the military seemed like a huge issue back in the early 90s. We got through that and he's not worried, we'll get through this, too.

HUGE contrast between the divide and conquer, fearmongering of *.

[proud patriot]

5. Gosh I miss him

:-(

[LSparkle]

6. Can't believe it's only been 4 years ...

Seems so long ago when I actually saw our President as my friend (not my foe).

[Maccagirl]

7. These photos show Clinton's best qualities

His empathy and his resiliency. That last photo belies the conventional wisdom that his security detail hated him doesn't it? Thanks!

[romantico]

9. There are many more

Im couldn't post.Was surpsied how many pictures of him with children & how the children just shine when he's near.Kids can sense things we adults can not & they really seemed to love him,especially children in foreign countries! Big Dog come back! We miss you!!!

10. Romantico You made my day week month and year

I am so emotional it is difficult to thank you enough.

No human loves Bill Clinton more than I. None.

I am an Historian of 1980's and 1990's with emphasis on Reagan and Clinton.

Bill Clinton is one of the greatest humans ever to reside in the White House.

He truly cared. He was sincere. He was no phony.

His life was devoted to"helping" others better their lives.

Sort of like Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ.

I will post later good things said about Bill Clinton.

What a Human being!

62. "No human loves Bill Clinton more than I. "

Nope. You're second. Right behind me!:-)

[Lisa]

12. I especially like the Oval Office pic ...

With the young visitor trying out the President's chair.

[brook]

13. Beautiful!

Great assortment of pics...and it sure does make one
long for another President with his warmth and intelligence.
Love the second one - goofing it up with the children.

Try to imagine * in any of those pictures. It's impossible,
isn't it?

[romantico]

16. Actually

I am working on a video montage of CLinton.News clips,photo OPs,film footage,ANYTHING!!!If anyone knows where I can find any,Please let me know!Thanks!

[zbdent]

14. What? Do you mean getting out and talking to people who can't

afford $1000 a plate just to hear him mangle his native tongue?

[The Mad Hatter]

15. Come on, people, the guy was a crooked shyster.

Just because he's a Democrat doesn't mean that he gets a free pass. His administration was just as much a tool of corporate interests as Bush, he's just more intelligent and a better public speaker. Bush was the drunken thug at the frat party who beat up the little guy, while Clinton was the one upstairs with the high school girl. They are both criminals.

[JohnLocke]

18. We got a live one here, eh?

[The Mad Hatter]

20. What, is it not allowed to criticize a Dem?

I have nothing but contempt for Bush, but pretending Clinton was a great leader is ludicrous.

[Lindacooks]

48. Well, that's stupid

All you have to do is look at history to know that President Clinton was a great leader. And he was actually elected, you know, by counting votes!!

Sounds like you're jealous.

[juajen]

54. Actually, we can criticize President Clinton

But, you can't. He certainly is a wonderful man and was a stunning President. Some people just can't get over this. You can start another thread criticizing him, if you want. Don't know how long the thread will last, but you can try.

This thread, however, is not for that purpose. After over three years of *, missing Clinton is a minute by minute thing. Actually, in spite of the worst presidency in history, * sure makes The Big Dog look even more heavenly. I have a brother who is a died-in-the-wool pug who absolutely hated Clinton. The last time he visited, about two months ago, he said he would give anything to see Clinton in the presidency again; he just didn't know how good we had it under Bill.

Unfortunately, he probably didn't realize his and our best dreams for him, because he had crazy right-wing nuts flying around his face, just like gnats, for at least the last two years of his presidency. IMHO, only someone with Clinton's resiliency and intelligence could have survived their attacks.

By the way, there were a few things Clinton and I disagreed on; but, with *, I have yet to find a damn thing I agree with him on. I am hoping that in the future some time I will be sitting down watching a movie about Bill Clinton, starring Bill Clinton, entitled "Big Dog Walking", in which we will all get to see him again as we knew him and felt him. Love to Bill, Hillary and Chelsea, true Americans.

[jackstraw45]

23. I remember how mad I was in November of 2000....

And December knowing we'd get this crooked, lying chimp for 4-8 years.

[The Mad Hatter]

25. Funny, because you got him in large part because of Clinton

Poor old Al was so scared of being associated with Bill that he didn't even use him against Bush, and didn't campaign on the achievements of the Clinton years. And so we are all condemned to those 4-8 years with the monkey man.

[BradCKY]

19. So?

Nobody is flawless, Clinton fixed all the problems in the economy of Reagan/Bush, Bush Jr came in and guess what??? THE PROBLEMS ARE BACK.

[JohnLocke]

21. Don't worry. He'll be gone soon, if you know what I mean...

[The Mad Hatter]

22. Heh, I'll be kicked out for criticizing Clinton?

I don't see any difference between that and any rabid right wing forum where all must bow before Dubya and the red, white and blue.

[kiahzero]

24. Well

Coming to a Democratic forum, and immediately talking about how we're underestimating Bush, and then criticizing Clinton without substantiation, isn't exactly the way to introduce yourself to a community that has regular problems with disruptors.

[The Mad Hatter]

26. There wasn't much of substance in the thread, and hero worship

...of any kind tends to disagree with me.

[JohnLocke]

28. You ain't fooling anybody.

[The Mad Hatter]

32. Heh, you really think I'm a Repub infiltrator? I despise Bush...

...and all he represents, I just don't forget the sins of his predecessor.

[democracyindanger]

34. Repub, Naderite

There's the *real* non-difference.

[Flubadubya]

37. The "sins" of Bush's predecessor...

look like kindergarten pranks compared to the abject corruption and real criminal behavior of the current squatters in the White House.

As for Bush's "predecessor", Clinton ultimately will prevail in history as one of America's best presidents. As for personal opinions, either you "get" how much Bill cared for his fellow human beings or you don't. If you do you love him, if you don't... well, that's your problem.

[Lefta Dissenter]

39. perhaps because you're new here,

you don't understand the concept of how to participate in a thread. If the clear purpose of a thread is positive commentary on a particular individual, it's rather rude to come in and start slamming that person.

Feel free to start your own thread on a different topic, if you'd like.

and just for good measure,

edited to add that I need someone to find me a smiley that illustrates the great restraint that I manage to show!

[The Mad Hatter]

41. The "clear purpose" of all threads should be truth...

...so I injected a note of reality.

[Lefta Dissenter]

43. So, in the interest of finding the truth

who did you vote for in 2000? Just wondering... :shrug:

[JohnLocke]

56. Kick... for Bill.

:kick: :dem: :kick:

[watercolors]

64. I think if it offends you

find another place to vent!

[thingfish]

47. You didn't criticize him. You flung your sh!t at him like a crazed gibbon.

There are plenty of grounds on which to criticize President Clinton. But you're going to have to try harder before anybody here takes you seriously.

[JohnLocke]

53. Well said! (nt)

[citizen snips]

36. hopefully.

There is no comparison to Clinton and Bush. And saying that Clinton was upstairs with the high school girl is just plain rude. Clinton did not have an affair with a high school girl.

[ParanoidPat]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What a real President looks like! :evilgrin:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

65. You can lead a Mad Hatter to water...

...but you just can't get them to understand what to do with it.

Let's review, shall we?

Foreign Policy: Clinton made friends and developed relationships while Junior has alienated nearly every country in the world and broken every treaty;

Domestic Policy: Clinton's economy was roaring, Junior's is dying.

Elections: Clinton never had to steal an election...he was legally voted into office;

The Environment: Clinton protected the environment, while Junior never met one he couldn't sell for a rather large profit;

The War Against Terror: Clinton never had to fight one because his people never LIHOP/MIHOP, while Junior pretended to be reading a book for 30 minutes while the WTC burned and crashed;

Civil Rights: Clinton was a big supporter of Civil Rights while Junior has done everything possible to dismantle the Civil Rights Act and Affirmative Action;

Military Service: Clinton never served but was at least honest enough to not join a National Guard unit...Junior joined the Texas Air National Guard, refused to take a flight physical and then went AWOL (which turned into desertion after 30 days);

Spending: Clinton balanced the budget, while Junior has raised the debt ceiling at least five times since occupying the White House;

And then we have the two wars being conducted in the Middle East for completely fabricated reasons...so, tell me again, who's the criminal?

[justgamma]

17. Thanks for the memories.

Brought tears to my eyes. Imagine having a President who actually cared.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Big Dog was one of the best. Yeah, he had flaws but over view in mind, he

was the MAN.

Bush on the other hand, comes across as the condenscending preacher/salesman. Prolly holds a hammer and needs 3645243 whacks at a 6 penny nail. Oh well, a fraud Cowboy, not even a Texan, can't/won't ride a horse, and can't remember lines for a joke. We got a guy who wants to be Plain Spoken, but comes across as the class dufus.

[TheDebbieDee]

27. He had his faults.........

but then again who doesn't ;^)

He was a great President and he is a good man. He never gave me cause to doubt that he wanted what was best for the most of us.

Big Dog was quite unlike the selfish, greedy sack of lying shit currently residing in the White House.

[imax2268]

29. Hey...

great post...really great post...

isn't it something to see a "REAL PRESIDENT" shaking hands with people because they were friends...actually playing with children instead of using kids for just another photo op...

I to miss Bill...I wish he was still our President...ahhhh...the good old days...

[dand]

31. Thank you romantico

your post made my day:toast:

[Gin]

35. Clinton had flaws....but........Bush is flawed....big difference

Romantico...thanks for the pics...do you work for him? or are you related in some way? Thats a lot of info on Clinton. What's the story? I miss Bill.

[ironflange]

40. Clinton's flaws. . .

. . .in now way whatsoever interfered with being able to run the country. As for Bush, well. . .

[ironflange]

38. Here's what Clinton can do:

Sorry, this was an article I read a long time ago, don't ask me what publication, 'cause I can't remember. The interviewer sat down in front of his desk, and to make a long story short, he was able to juggle an important-sounding phone call with her interview without missing a beat. Oh yeah, he was also doing the New York Times Sunday Crossword at the same time. Whew! Bush can't even walk and hold on to his dawg at the same time.

[Autumn]

42. Thank you

It seems like such a very long time ago, and I wonder will it ever be good again.

[nwstrn]

45. Thanks for the memories

I hope Clinton gets a nice speaking slot at the convention. The crowd will go wild, especially if he comments on the * economy and the deficit--and the media will make some disparaging remarks. Just like the good ol' days . . .

[cboy4]

46. The very 1st photo of the woman in the wheelchair

reminds me of how terrified seniors must
be with the GOP in control of their health care.
You know Clinton cared! :loveya:

[thingfish]

49. The best thing about Clinton for me is that, whatever he's doing...

...you know he "gets" it. He understands it, and he appreciates it. In all things. You can't fake that kind of gut-level comprehension.

Plus, nobody ever got thugged into saying they were Clinton fans. I know more than a few people who have been afraid to let their true feelings about Dubya be known.

[juajen]

50. God, I needed these pictures now

What a President he was! I honestly don't think there will ever be another quite as good. This cheers me considerably.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Let's keep this kicked. Maybe we'll get some more wonderful pictures.

:kick: :kick:

[Blue_Roses]

51. I sure do

miss Clinton. I never worried about the state of our country when he was in office.

"Never know what you got till it's gone,"...*sigh*

[freeforall]

52. Great pictures...

God, I miss the good ol' days!

There sure was a better energy - more positive - with Clinton in office.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. I miss you, Bubba!!! 4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!

:toast:

[romantico]

58. EVEN MORE!!!!!

[Malva Zebrina]

57. thanks for all of those pictures--enjoyed that all

Clinton, no doubt, personally engaged with people he came into contact with. This cannot be faked as the Bush photo ops are so stilted and obviously faked.



Ugh--what the hell does he think he looks like with this "strut"? He looks like a stupid ape.

Same with the blob o frump, Laura

They are both on some kind of meds.

[Chovexani]

59. Thank you so much

Those pictures brought a smile to my face and tears in my eyes at the same time. I didn't agree with him on everything, but Clinton CARED about people and his mind was as big as his heart. The way he could just engage people on any issue is just mindboggling. There is absolutely no comparison b/w him and the chimp.

God I miss the Big Dog. Come back, we need you! :cry:

[VolcanoJen]

61. He was no President Dress-Up.

And I miss him so....

:-(

[watercolors]

63. SURE DO MISS OUR PRESIDENT!

such great pictures of a great compasionate man !
