on him from the day he came into office. I remember when the private plane attacked the White House......I think he'd only been in the WH a few months and Secret Service was so nervous about security that they made them block off PA Avenue. The RW Media Whores howled and howled about how he blocked the "People" from the White House. And,as late as after the "Selection" occurred Larry Kudlow (the RW Business mouthpiece) said on CNBC that the first thing Bush would do as the new President would be to open PA Avenue back up to traffic so that the people could come back to the WH now that Clinton was packing his bags." (We see what happened with that one, only childrens' groups are allowed in the WH, or people with connections).
Plus, Hillary's Health Care Task Force...remember how she had to release the records of whom she had met with. Cheney has yet to release his full record of whom he met with on the Energy Task Force.....but the RW Repugs claim that....Cheney is VP and Hillary was only the First Lady and not elected.
I think we would have had some form of Universal Health Care, better Enviromental Enforcement and maybe some adjustments to NAFTA (which I really can't forgive him for) if he hadn't been hounded by the RW and then fell into the Monica Trap.
So, while I have my problems with Clinton (NAFTA and the MEDIA give away) I think he was a far better President than Poppy who was a fool run by Jim Baker and the rest of Reagan's crowd who took care of his buddies...while ruining the economy and starting Gulf War I to please his corporate friends.....setting the stage for where we are today.
Our Spinless Democratic Reps in Congress and the Senate are more to blame than Clinton. So many of them are on the corporate dole they don't have any Party affiliation except to themselves.
Cliton was pragmatic and a politician who made the best out of what was an impossible situation. His human frailties under the pressure unfortunately taint his memory more than the reality of what his core policies might have been.......might have been.
Just my thoughts.....which sound like a rant.....LOL's At least this rant clarified my own thoughts on Clinton...which have lately been waivering like many DU'ers who are just so sick and tired of what Bush has put us through, we are looking to blame someone!
