Bill Clinton's Presidency

For those of you who remember the Bill Clinton Presidency, PLEASE tell me what was so wrong! Our country was doing good. The deficit was soooo much lower, economy good, lower gas prices, and I could go on and on and on. My family was doing good. I had a great job and could afford to go to work. I am a single mom so I yearn for those years again. If anybnody remebers those years then you will remember Hillary. She was so strong and outspoken then. Believe me she was right there with him, assisting with decisions, I have no doubt. Why not return to the good years we have already seen? Why? Why? Why? Obama supporters please tell me. I always ask questions and you guys never answer, but PLEASE answer this one. (And do not refer to their personal life, it had nothing to do with us). Why are you so stubborn to insist on an unexperienced guy, who has definte questionable judgement, yes one thing I am referrring to his his church. I mean come on, he just now quit the church after the last media sound bite (as you like to call them). If he really disagreed with the church, he would have stopped a long time ago. So, there are 2 questions here. 1) What did you not like about your life and the economy when the Clinton's were in office? 2) Why did he stay in that church if he wants to better America? (I do not expect an answer for the second question because I have asked it numerous times before and instead of answering, you guys change the subject) This was probably one of the most important elections of our time and it is going to turn into the worst, unless the nomination changes hand to Hillary. Sorry, but that is a fact. Now, for you wonderful, young voters, who may be supporting Obama, and you do not remember the Clinton years--PLEASE ask someone that does remember. Those were the good years. The Clinton's worked very hard and our country was viable and alive. You deserve to know about those years. I will be waiting to read the responses, because I would really appreciate the answers to these questions. Thank you.
I voted for Bill Clinton twice - Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton! Because she was his wife, you cannot TIE her to the success of his presidency.
My personal opinion : I do not care with whom a politician goes to bed as long as it keeps him happy and his political performance is good and come on let's face it ... a happy guy does a better job :)
HRC's Rev. Coe - leaves a lot to be desired in his zest to praise Hitler.
Anyway, how one worships should not come into play.
...and, as a matter of fact, I've done serious traveling, and I've been to this church, and heard the man speak. He's an old man who grew up with Jim Crow, and sometimes he gets carried away; however, the times I heard him speak were quite bland. I was really waiting to hear the fire and brimstone - but nothing came.
You're a real piece of work.
2) I strongly believe someone's belief is theirs and not mine. Stay out of my bedroom and my personal life.
They basically state what they would like to see, however its so rare that you actually see it. Next is the taxing, want that health care bill etc, well if you want it then you will be taxed, in case anyone has forgotten the US is Bust! And I don't see many places standing in lines to give us loans. So that leaves us with trying to choose a person we think will do best with what they have to work with. And the DNC among many others have made decisions that have undoubtedly hurt us well beyond repair.
1.) Yes, I enjoyed the Clinton years and, yes, I believe she was instrumental in many things as First Lady. Part of me was fixated on the Bush41/Clinton42/Bush43/Clinto n44 dynasty. I bought into the "Change We Can believe In" scenario and was very moved by his speeches as well as his "Issues" page on his website.
2.) I don't know how he could have sat in that church for 20 years. Judging on his Senate voting record, he probably wasn't there for much of it! Had to... Just had to :-)
Seriously though, he's a career politician. I would wager that he's still an atheist at heart and that part of his attendance to TUCC was based on developing a strong constituency within Chicago's Black community. Do I fault him for that? I suppose so, yes.
As a White woman in my 40's, I've lived to see our country come together. I really believed that he was the candidate to do so. After seeing this campaign played out over months & months, I'm left with a headache and a bewildering sense of, "Now What?!?"
What is required of the US president is different.
Bill Clinton is different
Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton (which is not all bad)
I find you are not comprehending the changing world and it's needs
John F Kennedy was a great President; better than Clinton. Does that mean Caroline Kennedy would be a better candidate than hillary or Barack
This believe it or not , this is not an uncommon idea.
The AntiChrist will not head up this country.
You know - I'm through talking to you racists!
Go to hell - you'll have plenty of company!!
2. Obama didn't even really leave his church for the reasons that he should have, he left to save the church harrassment. Therefore leading me to believe he only left the church in body but not in soul. Which in return leaves his resignation from the church useless. He is Racist , why else would someone attend a church that is so full of hate.
Bill's personal indiscretion hurt his daughter, his wife and the nation.
Baracks dilemma over the church was complex and is in the open and really did not hurt anyone.
However people don't attend Racist Churches every day. Especially like Trinity that one takes the cake, and is truly an embarrassment to the Democrats who think hate mongering is ok.
I knew you guys would bring up Monica. My goodness look at all the politicians who have been caught. I do not know how that personal situation hurt you; but it did not hurt my living.
What you want people to believe is that the man hates his dead mother. Really? Do you hate your mother? This lady stuck with him through thick and thin - along with the grandparents. There is no way the man will hate the blood that runs through his veins.
You would have more credibility if you just came out and said, I won't vote for a black man! I could at least have respect for you!! You're called a closet racist! All your talk about church and Christianty, and you don't even know what it means to be a Christian.

NAFTA and Bankruptcy laws are two reasons to support my statement that not everyone was well off during the Clinton years in the Presidency.
Second, I explained that you or anyone else has no business in anyone's private life; I disagreed with the impeachment proceedings and I disagree with any candidate who Wraps themselves up in religion - ala family values, morality, etc. We need a public servant in office and not a priest or pastor.
First off, you are absolutely incorrect, and you can read her book, if you don't want to believe me. In her words, she "watched" as Bill handled the tough issues. Watching a baseball game doesn't qualify you to play for the NY Yankees.
You are giving HER credit for HIS accomplishments. AND! You are giving Bill credit for what was under the control of Alan Greenspan -- the flourishing economy. I fully realize that most people don't have a grasp of how little control over these things the president has, but, there is a simple way for you to verify Greenspan's economic control. Go to any stock tracking website and look at May '99 to May '01. Pick any of the huge companies you want. Notice the downward trend and where the sharpest declines hit. Then, compare those time periods to the prime rate increases that Greenspan instituted. They will coincide almost exactly for the greatest majority of the top 100 stocks.
People who are giving Bill Clinton credit for the prosperous years don't know anything about the nation's economic machinery.
It helped that Bill did his level best to have a balanced budget, without a doubt. But, that was the total extent of his influence in how well the country was doing.
No matter who inherits this mess that Bush is leaving behind, any boom times are going to be a long way off. We have too much deficit to catch up on and too much infrastructure that needs replacing as well as hardening our border and port security.
YOU brought up the Clinton years, YOU tied Hillary to Bill's presidency, and YOU say that, "I know that she is not him." Good grief, woman, make up your mind.
Why can't you sing Hillary's praises without bringing up Bill? You are TYING them together as a workable unit, and it doesn't work for me!!
Thank you for your post. President Bill Clinton was one of our greatest Presidents.
During the eight years of the Bill Clinton Presidency; our economy was booming, energy costs were reasonable, and under the leadership of President Bill Clinton, our country actually had a surplus. Under Clinton's administration we were looking at solutions for funding social security, long term.
Senator Hillary Clinton even as First Lady was a advocate and fighter for the people, advocating Health care for all Americans, even back then.
When I think of President Bill and Hillary Clinton, I remember how great things were in our country during the Clinton years in the White House.
We need to get those days back; Senator Hillary Clinton has the leadership and the solutions we need to bring America back.
God Bless America and God Bless the Clinton's.
Hillary helped as an advisor. Some say that that was his Presidency, not hers. But why should hers be much different? She was involved.People vote for a former vice president running for President right?
As far as thier personal/private lives, it shouldn't be a factor, but let's face it, it is! No one wants to comment on Obama's, but people are all to happy to drag Bill Clinton's personal involvements out into the light. Why? To me, a powerful man having extramarital relations is not a suprise. I don't condone it, but it is, unfortunately, common. It is also no great threat to the country. However, a President that deals with extremists, racists and criminals could be a very real threat.
