How many more CLINTON MISTAKES can this country take?
Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 08:11 AM by Skwmom
Clinton was later asked about President Clinton’s spearheading of NAFTA in the early 1990s.

“As smart as my husband is, he does make mistakes,” she said.

http://www.wtov9.com/news/15878267/detail.html

So there's NAFTA, IWR, and banking deregulation for starters. For most people, mistakes like these would be career ending. No wonder the Clintons aren't bitter.

Amazing how many people spoke out against NAFTA, IWR, and banking deregulation and they were right on the money as to what would happen so it's not like the Clintons can claim total ignorance on these issues. It's either poor judgment, selling out (i..e, willing to do anything for power), or a combination of both.

So I ask, just how many more Clinton Mistakes can this country take? Not only were there HUGE mistakes made but none of the major problems (except paying down the debt) got solved (health care, dependence on foreign oil, climate crisis, poor educational system................)

3. These mistakes are huge and have cost the country dearly. If Clinton and other
Democrats thinking about their political futures would have voted against the IWR, there would have been no war. According to the constitution ONLY CONGRESS can declare war. But what's thousands of dead people and trillions spent when you have your political career to think about. Surely that's a small price to pay for another Clinton term.

4. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I see no reason to bash Democratic candidates
If you need someone to bash, I suggest you set your sights on McCain.

5. No wonder Obama is dominating the youth vote. They don't remember just how good times were
back then. I can't believe that we Democrats are tearing down our own party's legacy like this.

6. one reason: Bill has lost his touch.
Bill Clinton used to be seen as a wonder boy in politics. Had crowds eating out of his hand. Something's happened, and now he's just a cranky old man wagging a bony finger at us. Not exactly appealing.

Of the two of them, it was always Bill who had the political charms. Hillary not so much. But now, neither of them has got "it". I don't think they really see this, and it's kind of sad.

They need to get off of the stage now and let someone new have a chance, even if it hurts their pride. Other senior politicians have been able to do it, and I'd like to see Hillary have the class to do it, too.

And I'm saying this as a fellow boomer--I'm a few years younger than Hillary. I'll be older than a President Obama--but that's not a bad thing. He's what the country needs now.

8. Legacy. It is the truth. When a bad bill is passed, the harm done from that bill
isn't felt immediately but it doesn't make that bill any less harmful.
