Bush vs. Clinton?

Question

Which damaged the reputation and prestige of America around the world. I believe this is a no-brainer.

Answer 1

This is an excellent question because it will demonstrate the ignorant and dishonest nature of conservatives.

Clinton, far from harming America’s image among the nations of the world, actually took America to new heights of respect and admiration that had not existed since the post WWII era. If Clinton could run again, he would win in a landslide, and the world community would see it as a reflection of good judgment and intelligence on the part of the American people.

The America that Clinton left to Bush was the most admired and respected in the world.

Bush has managed to destroy all of that and more during his time in office. Bush has turned America into a lying, 2-faced, and hypocritical nation whose international behavior is more similar to that of radical Islamic terrorists that it is to anything else.

It is not just that Bush has found a way to make everyone in the world hate America, but he has also cost America the respect it had under Clinton and previous US Presidents. Bush has destroyed America’s honor and dignity. He has made it so that America’s ‘word’ now isn’t worth sh!t.

Anyone who claims that Clinton harmed America more than Bush is revealing themselves as a traitor to the United States. They are making a statement about their anti-US Constitutional agenda to overthrow America’s secular democratic republic and replace it with a quasi-theocratic government.

Conservatives only hate Islamic terrorists because they are jealous of them. They are jealous of their ability to act out the doctrine of their murdering SOB God, just like conservatives want to rape and kill in the name of their own wicked Old Testament God.

As for America’s standing the world, here is a sampling of results showing exactly what the Bush presidency has done to America’s image:
http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/?nid=&id=&lb=hmpg

Change in ‘positive attitude’ towards America:

Great Britain – down from 83 to 69 percent
France – down from 71 to 65 percent
Germany – down from 70 to 66 percent
Russia – down from 67 to 57 percent
Jordan – down from 53 to 38 percent
Indonesia – down from 65 to 36 percent
Turkey – down from 31 to 17 percent

Fifty-eight percent feel that Europe should replace America as the leader in world affairs.

China ranks higher in positives and lower in negatives compared to the US.


And finally, a new poll ranking how happy and satisfied the citizens of different countries are, shows how out-of-touch with reality many Americans are. All the conservative lies about America having better health care and a higher standard of living that other nations cannot change the fact that much of the rest of the world lives better, happier, healthier, better educated, and longer lives than most Americans.

The reality is that Americans, by and large, work harder and have less to show for it than every other developed nation in the world (and even some under-developed nations). How many Americans are aware, for example, that Canadians have a longer life-expectancy and lower infant-mortality rate than Americans. If you look at the bottom line results (that is, which healthcare system is producing a healthier population at all levels and ages), the American healthcare system is an embarrassment.

Here are the results of the happiness survey which reflects the overall physical and psychological healthiness of various countries:

1 - Denmark
2 - Switzerland
3 - Austria
4 - Iceland
5 - The Bahamas
6 - Finland
7 - Sweden
8 - Bhutan
9 - Brunei
10 - Canada
11 - Ireland
12 - Luxembourg
13 - Costa Rica
14 - Malta
15 - The Netherlands
16 - Antigua and Barbuda
17 - Malaysia
18 - New Zealand
19 - Norway
20 - The Seychelles

Oh yeah, I forgot. The United States does not make it into the top 20.

Let’s examine your argument:

Only weeks after Clinton took office in 1993 (following 12 straight years of Republican presidents), terrorist tried to bring down the towers.

What did Clinton do?

-- within a month, four people were arrested,
-- they went on trial that September,
-- the trial lasted 6 months, and
-- they were all convicted

Are you aware that Clinton stopped eight 9/11-size attacks, despite a Republican Congress that tried to stop his every move?

Are you aware that the very first thing that Clinton did, as he was leaving the White House and Bush was moving in, was to tell Bush that the single greatest threat to the safety of the American people was Osama Bin-Laden. He had his staff stress to Bush’s staff that this was the most important thing Bush needed to know now that he was President.

Are you aware that on August 6, 2001, Bush received a PDBM (President's Daily Briefing Memo) warning that:

-- OBL was planning an attack inside the United States, and
-- that he might use airplanes, and
-- that the targets would be politically important (DC) and major metropolitan centers (NYC)?

Are you aware that Bush, Rice, and the rest of the Bush administration ignored the memo?

Are you aware that the Bush administration abandoned the Israeli – Palestinian issue?

Are you aware that Bush abandoned the war on terror to invade Iraq which, according to your own Republican Congress’s report on pre-war intelligence:

-- there were NO terrorists in Iraq before Bush invaded,
-- there was no connection between Iraq and OBL, AQ, or any terrorist organization
-- Hussein did not provide training camps to terrorists
-- Hussein hated AQ before we did
-- Hussein did not hide al-Zargawi - he tried to have him arrested

Are you aware that the Taliban are stronger in Afghanistan now than they were before Bush invaded?

And that opium production is Afghanistan is at record levels and the money from it fills terrorist pockets?

Are you aware that Bush is losing in Iraq?

Are you aware that Bush is losing the war on terror?

Are you aware that Bush has destroyed America’s dignity, honor, and reputation?

You know these things and yet you support Bush, because like all right-wing zealots, you are an idiot and, worse, a traitor to the United States who supports the spilling of American blood on the altar of Osama Bin-Laden.

Will your lust for American blood be satisfied when Republicans have killed more Americans than OBL and AQ?

You had a good point, but you let your anti-American bias over-rule the facts and the truth –
That Clinton did far more to fight terrorism than Bush has.

You are on the drug for which you named yourself right now, aren't you?

Answer 2

That answer would be Bush because Clinton made peace with American enemies. Clinton was for the American people. When Clinton was president, he was cleaning up the crap that Bush Sr. had made, and by doing of such, that made Clinton look bad. But when Clinton finished, the American people realized what he had done. For example Bush Sr. wanted to keep the American soliders over in Iraq forever. Clinton didn't like that so he told Iraq that he will bomb them night and day until they surrender. The war went on for 17 days, night and day. On the 17th day, Iraq surrendered and on the 18th day Clinton brought our soldiers back home. The government didn't like Clinton for that, so then they wanted Clinton assassinated. If the government had Clinton assassinated, then that would have reveiled the government war responsible, just like they did JFK! So the government had Clinton removed. Regardless what other people say, Clinton and JFK were the best presidents of the U.S because they are/were for the people and not the government like Bush. Clinton has done things for this country to protect us from people like Bush. The only thing that Clinton did wrong in the eyes of the government, was to care about the American people. Clinton didn't follow orders from congress as the government wanted him to do. Clinton followed his heart for the American people. He did everything in his power to protect us all, but along came Bush, and then things started to get screwed up again!! If this doesn't help you any please do some research on modern history of America. The web site is www.modernhistory.org/america
By doing some research, there you will see that Clinton was not the bad one, Bush is. Bush says that he wants to protect America from terrorist, well the bad news is that Bush is the threat and the terrorist of America.

Answer 3

Jeb Bush
George Bush
George Bush

Answer 4

Bush. Clinton cheating on his wife and desecrating the Oval Office had nothing to do with his presidency. He was brought to trial on that while Bush who lies put us into a war that has no end, made us look bad in the eyes of the world, and alienated us also is still running unchecked.

Answer 5

Neither, America's reputation has been established by it's people.
Besides, when it comes down to world popularity & America's security our security is more importent. I've been fortunate to be able to travel abroad. Most people of other countries have more issues with some of our citizens being cocky or aerogant than what our government does. The only thing that would make other governments like ours is if we were not the worlds only remaining super power. If we follow through on our commitments we will get their respect. It's not about Bush or Clinton in America. We should remeber it's about me & you.

Answer 6

Clinton all the way beacuse Bush only cares about himself and hes buddies

Answer 7

Are you implying that Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale, out of any pair you could have chosen, have similar political beliefs

Answer 8

You said it yourself: a no-brainer. Bush, of course! Who cares about the personal life of Clinton? Bush killed already over 100 000 people in Irak, when the whole world was against an insane war

Answer 9

Easy- Bush. The world laughed at us for caring about Clinton getting a bj in the whitehouse. Now, they aren't laughing, are they?

Answer 10

Bush
