Bill Clinton Options

[kimmytree]

What are your views on the former President?

What about his effect on the economy?

And what about the attacks on our country? Is he to blame?

Discuss.

(Wikipedia has some good info on him).

Bin Laden was pretty much offered to Clinton and he dropped the ball. Clinton helped out the North Korean nuclear program. Clinton lied under oath.

Actually, I don't know if Clinton had much to do with the economy. It was the dot com bubble inflating which brought the economy up. In fact, economists think that Clinton might have been responsible for the recession at the end and after his term. And if I recall correctly, it wasn't really a surplus, because the money was never really there.

Just offering some counter arguements. I voted for Clinton back in our elementary school mock elections. I don't like him so much anymore though.

Bin Laden was pretty much offered to Clinton and he dropped the ball. Clinton helped out the North Korean nuclear program. Clinton lied under oath.

Several of these points are inaccurate or greatly exaggerated. Sure, Clinton lied about a personal issue he had no business being asked about. For comparison's sake, the Bush administration lied to the United Nations regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. I place that on a bit of a higher scale than lying about the Lewinsky scandal.

I don't know a whole lot about Bin Laden and Clinton, but what I've read about recently demonstrates how the Bush administration is getting clobbered so much on its mishandling of the war on Iraq that it's willing to do anything to point the finger somewhere else, which indicates to me an admission that its foreign policy is larged unplanned and, simply put, sucks.
