True then and true now, and to think I slapped down $30 for his book.
To think how many times I defended him, I was long ago sick of them covering for Bush, but never again.
From here on out Democrats that defend Clinton and his whoring are on ignore.

26. do tell melodybe, i hadnt heard clinton hadnt talked to bush |
|
about this. as a matter of fact i think it might be possible that he did. listening to what bush did say, it appears bush is going that way and i thought clinton and bush 1 might have absolutely talked to him about this. i dont know. i will have to see what happens
but how do you know clinton DIDNT talk about taking aid world wide. why are you blaming clinton for something you dont even know. or has clinton spoken and i havent heard his words
confused

You people are so consumed with hatred of Bush that any Democrat who does not display the same is suddenly one of them...get your head out of your ass.
Bush deserves criticism, and from us it is fine. It is not Clinton's place to criticize him, particularly not now.
The issue here is the crisis in the south, not hatred for Bush!

24. You know I kinda understand it... |

Bush has so consistently lied, and so consistently fucked up everything he has tried, I understand the feeling people have toward him. And I understand the gut emotion that occurs when people on our side do not always seem to share the same visceral feelings about him. But, in a situation like this, we need to be mature enough to set that aside temporarily to help people in crisis.
That Bush has totally messed this up is obvious, and any support he received from Clinton today will make no diffrence. Meanwhile, Clinton, by accepting the job Bush gave him not only is doing his patriotic duty, but he is making Bush look all that much more incompetent. He again, needs to bring Clinton in to do what he is incapable of!!!

Sometimes I wonder if there is anything that can trump hatred for Bush. And really, what's the point? He's never running for office again, and is essentially finished as a President. I think it's time focus on performing well in the 2006 elections, and to look toward what happens after he leaves office. What's happening now reminds me of the nonsensical hatred Republicans felt toward Clinton during his second term.

That the tens of millions Clinton will raise for them is of no use. Clinton is doing what he was asked to do in a time of crisis...a patriotic act that pathological Bush haters do not understand.

He always has a purpose for what he does or says that is more than meets the eye. I can suffer the short-term discomfort for the long-term gain. He is the master politician. I suppose since he doesn't offer soundbites or pandering red meat, it is hard for some to get the underlying purpose.
Paid $20 for the book, got it from the right bookstore, and I liked it.

|
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 05:06 PM by Prodemsouth
been known for years, due to FEMA reports. A similar FEMA report done by Bush Admin says the same thing. Heard this on Randi Rhodes show. Sidney worked for Clinton. Clinton is saying no one could have for seen the flood coming in his defense of Bush today. Who is liar? Sidney or Clinton. What is really happening: Bush is falling apart and Clinton knows it and he also saw that poll in the Washington Post that says Democrats want a leader with balls or with gumption. So if a Democrat emerged that would challenge Bush and smoke the Republicans- Hillary would be history. That person would grab the nomination, not Hillary. So to put out this fire before it starts Clinton goes to Bush and says your daddy and I know you are fucked let us help again. Hillary will only challenge Bush on the Wilma issues- (social liberal stuff).

His job is to raise enormous amounts of money to rebuild New orleans, and to help it's citizens get back on their feet.
By seeming to criticize Bush, while he was on TV with him , in the Oval office, with Bush practically begging Clinton to help, would have been the story. And it most assuredly would have hindered his fundraising efforts!!

He was publically asked, by the President to do it. To turn him down would have hindered his efforts!
And I'm not entirely sure he would be...he now has the resources of the federal government to help him with it, he can get air time to run ads appealing for help. So I think doing it this way benefits the effort!

He should be doing what he can to help the people wallowing in their own excrement in New Orleans. He was given a job to do and he is doing and saying what he needs to do and say to accomplish that task. If he is even half as successful as he was with the Tsunami relief effort, it will be well worth it! He is a great patriot, and is putting the needs of the country above all else here!

We don't need him to lead a call for humanitarian aid... we are heeding the call of conscience.
It is, however, the current pResident's obligation to ensure that this country is fully prepared for disasters, instead of cutting FEMA funding, along w/everything else this psychopath has cut.
Clinton... 'great patriot' :puke: ... NAFTA, WTO, Telecommunications Act of 1996, Welfare Reform, etc., etc.... why, I'm surprised he didn't go for SS privatization, since he did so much to move the RW agenda forward. Yeah, 'great patriot'. :sarcasm:

Seriously, you are way over the top on this. Are you sure you haven't just reached your limit with the all the hell on earth and this is how you're taking your anger out?
If you were in his shoes.. would you use that moment and time to bash jr? Part of the success he will have getting the help we need is to play some politics. It sucks, but it's true.
Also, it's a long time tradition that former presidents hold their tongues in attacking the one in office. I don't like that either but Clinton is a statesman and will abide by that.
He knows the game way better than we ever will. Let it go and attack Bush.. not Clinton. You're aiming your anger in the wrong direction..
