With so many misdeeds and disregard for the law and structure for the office of President. Clinton was dogged from day one and nothing he did/didn't do cost the voting public in money or lives. Kenneth Star wasted 70 billion dollars and sent a lot of people to jail while on a wich hunt. I don't think Pres. Clinton would have been absent from the white house 56% of the time like Bush was in 2001.

I think a lot of the reason it seems that the Bush Administration seems to get away with everything is because of the media. The media doesn't hold their feet to the fire like they would if this was a Democratic Administration. If President Clinton had done one tenth of what President Bush has done, they would have impeached him and had him out of office years ago. The Bushies have the media in their back pocket and then claim that the media is too liberal. It's part of the problem when corporations own media companies. Look at how they stuck their head in the sand over the Iraq War. It's a shame, because this President should be held accountable for what he's done.

Unfortunately most newspapers are owned by the rich and the rich have no problem with GWB. He has cut their taxes etc so they won't rock the boat. And the religious right??? Only if Bush is having an affair and even then they might not care. Clinton didn't pander to these people. The only error Clinton made was to do what he did in the White House with a groupie. And yes politicians have groupies. They love power. GWB has pandered to the religious right the rich, the oil companies the list is long. Who is going to call him on what he's done. Thankfully history will. To bad we'll all be dead by then.

I never supported President Bush (or his father) in any election. I am concerned about some of his policies and some of his actions, even so, I see no direct evidence to paint him into an unconstitutional corner.
We have elections to turn him out of office and yet he won fully within the Constitutional requirements.
We do have a system of checks and balances and for any politician who does wrong there is a strong chance that they will be found out and receive what they have coming. However, that is dependant on an active citizenry. Not the yelling and shouting ones who demean those they don’t like, that never results in anything. Those who get involved in the process at all levels and by so doing ensure that the system works.

Impeaching Clinton was WORTH IT, I HELPED! I had the Votes in the HOUSE YOU DON'T NOW. The Press Has been no Friend to Bush and company. In contrast to Clinton who was loved by the press. Funny how things work against you.

Being a US citizen, I must say it is hardly that easier. I didn't vote him in. Actually only electoral votes count in this country. Therefore, it does no good to vote here. I would love to see him held accountable for the lives he has taken and destroyed. However, the government works for themselves and not us. 9/11 is a great example of that. We are feeding other countries to make ourselves look great, but disregarding the starving on our own streets. I am truly ashamed of our government.
