Poll question: Do you think it is fair that history remember President Bill Clinton as
"When Clinton lied, no one died."

Would that be an acceptable legacy for you? It implies that Bush would eventually be held accountable.

1. I think his legacy will be that he was a very competent, intelligent president

who wanted to do good for the American people but had his hands tied by the very vindictive Republican party & its billionaire sponsors; & that he was well-liked by Americans as well as by those around the world.

After what we've learned about our government, thanks to the unknown, underground forces who put Bush into office, Clinton's "lie" about a personal sexual encounter will look pale next to Bush's long list of lies that harmed our nation.

I hope history students will recognize the Republicans' trend of hatred toward some of the best presidents our nation has ever had because they were Democrats & that they served the average Americans' interests & well-being. FDR, JFK, & Clinton come to mind.

2. Fair indeed.
I think Chimpy will one day find himself wishing like heaven and hell that he could be the president who "lied, but no one died."

I'd take that trade off in a heartbeat.
