The Clinton Legacy

AITOOW remembers that any progress made during the Clinton era was forced on him by the Republican Congress. He was derided as a turncoat by most Democrats. He sold out gays, women and blacks. He signed a NAFTA Agreement that George Bush negotiated. He only got elected because Ross Perot took 30% of the vote away from Bush. The economic boom was a combination of George Bush's fiscal planning and Silicon Valley ingenuity. He balanced a budget by neglecting our intelligence and military services. It's like saying Barry Switzer was a great Coach for the Cowboys. It was Jimmy's team! He could only fuck it up. His one "achievement" was placing two underqualified judges on the Supreme Court and filling his Cabinet with similiarly freakish sideshow attractions in the the name of diversity for diversity's sake. He also cut and ran from Somolia and enobled the terrorists to bomb us in Africa and the Middle East. I can't go on. Where is our memory. I hear it's selective and we only remember things as we want to remember them. Notice I didn't even bring up the nastiness that happened before he got in the White House, Foster, Travelgate, Monica, etc. And Ireland and Kosovo should be looked into in greater detail if you think they were successes (or attributable to him).
