Katie Couric 1992: Lingering questions about Bill's character and trustworthiness

Does anyone else think that the line of questioning at all sounds familiar?

And we all know how that turned out eight years after we made the right choice in electing Bill Clinton.

Hillary Clinton interview. The same woman we see today, concerned about our families and being dogged by petty questions that all proved to be dead wrong.



Mr. Wizard, tell us again what we would have missed if we had not elected Bill Clinton to be America's 42nd POTUS.

Longest economic expansion in American history
More than 22 million new jobs
Highest homeownership in American history
Lowest unemployment in 30 years
Raised education standards, increased school choice, and doubled education and training investment
Largest expansion of college opportunity since the GI Bill
Connected 95 percent of schools to the Internet
Lowest crime rate in 26 years
100,000 more police for our streets
Enacted most sweeping gun safety legislation in a generation
Family and Medical Leave Act for 20 million Americans
Smallest welfare rolls in 32 years
Higher incomes at all levels
Lowest poverty rate in 20 years
Lowest teen birth rate in 60 years
Lowest infant mortality rate in American history
Deactivated more than 1,700 nuclear warheads from the former Soviet Union
Protected millions of acres of American land
Paid off $360 billion of the national debt - Between 1998-2000, the national debt was reduced by $363 billion — the largest three-year debt pay-down in American history. We are now on track to pay off the entire debt by 2009.


Converted the largest budget deficit in American history to the largest surplus
Lowest government spending in three decades
Lowest federal income tax burden in 35 years
More families own stock than ever before
Most diverse cabinet in American history
Advancing peace in the Middle East by brokering peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors
Ended a decade of repression and reversed ethnic cleansing in Kosovo
Protecting Americans from weapons of mass destruction


And the list goes on and on and on and on endlessly it seems.

And Mr. Wizard, based on that, what does your crystal ball tell us what a Hillary Clinton election would mean for America? Should we listen to a few idiots who try to discourage us from getting everyone we know to enthusiastically vote for Mrs. Clinton, the same one who was so active in the first Clinton presidency or should we vote for the totally unqualified misogynist who will probably start WWIII?

Gee, I wonder!

and the video is shocking! Even though I was a young adult at the time and was my first time voting, shocking to see/remember how it all started!

Gee, can we trust her and her character? Hell yes we can! She's the one we SHOULD put our trust in. What a stupid fucking question!
