why do Republicans detest Bill Clinton's presidency when he ended his presidential career with a 65% approval rating, the highest end-of-term approval rating of any President since Eisenhower. The numbers don't lie. We miss you Bubba! Please Supreme Court remove the 22th amendment

IN 1998 Clinton attains a budget surplus for the first time since 1969. IN 1996 Clinton sign into lawan anti terrorism bill that provides for new punishments and strategies to fight terrorism.

On Oct. 2 1995, clinton asks a Republican controlled Congress to authorize 100 FBI agents to investigate potential terrorist plans and permit the armed forces to probe crimes related to chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. The REPUBLICAN controlled Congress rejects the proposal. Nuff' said.

In Jan. 2000 the US government announces a 184 billion surplus. Congrats Bubba for the great memories. Bush put us in a deficit by late 2000.

Internationally, his priorities included reducing trade barriers, supporting the North American Free Trade Agreement, preventing nuclear proliferation, mediating the Northern Ireland peace process and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, and commanding military intervention to end the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo. He engaged in air attacks on Iraq, most notably in Operation Desert Fox, and funded efforts to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

It's amazing the power of the media, huh?
It's amazing how the burst of the internet bubble and billions in lost wealth was glossed over
It's amazing how WTC1 was glossed over
It's amazing how Americans forgot that he was responsible for Mogadishu
It's amazing how Americans forgot that he was responsible for a cruise missile destroying an aspirin factory
It's amazing how Americans forgot that he lobbed cruise missiles into a camels *** during the Monica problems
It's amazing how Americans forget that it was him that signed the treaty with N. Korea that gave Kim the nuke.
It's amazing how the Cole bombing was glossed over
It's amazing how the Saudi tower bombing was glossed over
It's amazing how Clinton taking us on an illegal war into the Balkans was glossed over
It's amazing how Clinton raping two women was glossed over
It's amazing how Clinton signing NAFTA and killing our manufacturing, textile, and polymer industries was glossed over
Man, this is too easy. You are right, bring back Bubba
OOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sweet, another liberal bringing up the budget surplus. Yes, I love how it was glossed over that that budget surplus was caused by one time tax receipt gains from the irrational internet bubble gambling that Americans indulged in. Instead of figuring out a way to softly deflate it, interest rates were lowered, stoking the mania. Not only that, but did that surplus get used to actually pay down the deficit that still existed and existed afterwards and exists today? Of course not silly lib, it was spent on more social programs.

I am a Conservative who liked Bill Clinton. I didn't care diddley squat about his personal life and neither should the media have. It was looking for sensationalism. However, he did not respond appropriately to the terrorist attacks that occurred during his presidency. These attacks were acts of war and should have been treated as such. If he had done so, September 11 might have been just another sunny day. Of course he was popular. He is a very charismatic person, a real charmer, and the consummate politician. Had he responded to the terrorist acts of war appropriately and fought to keep terrorism out of America, he would have had a low approval rating because wartime presidents lose the favor of the faint at heart. Eisenhower was liked too but investigate what he did during his presidency. It won't take long because he didn't do much. If you want to support America's freedoms, you'd better bone up on the facts.

It's not hard to have the approval rating when you aren't accomplishing anything. The American people for the most part prefer someone like Slick Willie. He was a figure head( oh I could make a pun out of that one) that's all he was. He never did anything of any importance while in office.
Most intelligent people see him for what he really is, that's not to say that we HATE him. Frankly, he was not important enough to waste time and energy on hate.
My question is, why are we still talking about him? He is old news, long since put to bed. If you really want to know my biggest concern, it's that we will have to deal with him again in the White House, of course he'll only be the"first lady" but he'll still be around.

There are some motives. the 1st is that he embodied each little thing social conservatives hated with regard to the '60's. He became against the conflict in Vietnam, they think of he's a draft dodger (which he fairly isn't, his quantity wasn't referred to as), he used drugs in college, he became married to a working woman, and if u see a image of him back then, he had fairly long hair at one factor. the 2nd is as a results of the fact he ended their 12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days run with Reagan and Bush I, which went from 1981-1993. They have been in basic terms spoiled teenagers who stopped getting 40 greenback each week. He additionally took away lots of their electoral college benefit. earlier Clinton gained in ninety two, dems have been averaged 40 9 electoral votes from 1980-1988, and after Clinton, dems have averaged 260. They went from 40 two % basic in 2 way elections (clinton went via 2 3-strategies) from 1980-1988, after Clinton, we gained the popular vote in 2000, got here interior of two factors of Bush in 04, averaging 40 8.3 % in 2 way races. He additionally dodged their barbs.

We don't hate Bill Clinton. We dislike his dishonesty, disloyalty, overall poor character, and ineffectiveness as a world leader. What's particularly disappointing is the general public's lack of knowledge of Bubba's antics behind the scenes. If they knew this man for what he is, they would never have voted for him. 65% approval only means that a majority of Americans need to realize that they are not as smart as they think they are.
'nuff said?

Clinton was weak on national security. After the 1st world trade center attack, we did nothing. What we didn't give the military the tools it needed in Somalia then we withdraw after the first firefight? Sudan would have given up Bin Laden in '96 and we said no? After the Kenyan embassy bombings all we did was fire a few cruise missiles at some empty tents? We did nothing in retaliation after the USS Cole bombing? No wonder Osama called us a "paper tiger."

We don't hate him, we dislike him immensely. A 65% approval rating only means that 65% of the American public likes a sex scandal and he was very good at that. It would have been far better had he actually learned how to be a president. We hate Jimmy Carter.
