When Clinton was president we had virtually no poverty in the U.S. and the world, the only poor were those who chose to be poor, now Bush is forcing all minorities to the brink of death.

Read the user name, it was made for people just like you: RUKIDDING?! I bet you couldn't write that question with a straight face! It is one of the most ludicrous things I have seen on here! "Virtually no poverty in the U.S. and the world, the only poor were those who chose to be poor." WHO chooses to be poor? Even Bill, himself, wouldn't say anything this asinine. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

I'm neither Rep or Dem, so I'm not slanted by party lines.
This country was on the brink of a recession when Bush took office from Clinton. The actions in Iraq and Afghanistan helped propel the economy forward through the recession. I'm not advocating the war by this phrase, just analyzing the effects.
Poverty has always been a problem. It just moves around from time to time, and it gets media focus at different times.

Are you crazy? Of courset there was poverty here and everywhere else in the world. I am not going to say that clinton was a horrible president or whatever, but he did not control all of the world and eliminate poverty.
Steve - did i say that Bush did any better......no. I did not even bash Clinton. There always has been poverty and always will be poverty. period.

Some one sold you a large bag of B.S. Clinton was lucky to have .com come along during his presidency. He presided over the down sizing of the military. Both of these items were either started or conceived before his presidency. Why the public wishes to give him credit for them is beyond me. His actions didn't even further their expansion. The actions that created the down fall of ENRON & Global Crossing happened during Clinton's watch. I'm not saying or even implying that Clinton had any ability to control the actions of these 2 companies any more than Bush would have.

Really if that is true then why is minority home ownership at a all time high ?
Also Why did the majority of dot coms go bust in 2000 long before Bush was even elected ?

there was far less poverty in the U.S. during the Clinton administration. that much is true. Bush has decreased the standard of living. for all you people who don't believe this, you're just not facing the facts. go research it!!!
what has Bush done for the betterment of this nation? reduced the price of oil, and thus the price of gas? that was the purpose for going into this war in the first place. freakin Bush and his Halliburton oil corporation, among others.
why wasn't he impeached a long time ago?
