What kind of a country is this that an ex-president is knocking the current president. Even if he is advertising for his wife, do you think, that is right or wrong ?

This is about the dignity of our country.

I don't think an ex-president should knock the current president during his term. If he has issues with the job the current president is doing, why not sit down with the president and discuss it face to face like a man?

I have no problem with it. I hate how people think Clinton was a horrible president. I was all for impeachment. He lied under oath. But other than that he ran a good term. Bush sent 3000+ Americans to their death under false pretenses. In my humble opinion, that is a lot worse. I'd rather see Bill get a hummer than thousands of young men die. This country is getting more and more screwed up by the day. And instead of fixing it, the Dems will just push their own agenda. That's it! I'm moving to Canada...

"What kind of country......?"
A FREE ONE!
WHO COULD BE A BETTER CRITIC???......
I have no problem with a "teacher teaching or a preacher preaching."
Hell, I criticize the President all the time and I don't have the VAGUEST idea of what the job encompasses in total. And neither does any of you. BILL CLINTON KNOWS. Maybe we should have LISTENED to him before now.
Your question is as partisan as my answer. It probably bothers you when ANYONE criticizes THIS, but not THAT, President or ex-President. When Billy C. was President, I used to say things like "Well, respect the OFFICE if nothing else".
I was as full of crap THEN as you are NOW!

What dignity?
When Clinton left office, America was the most admired and respected nation in the world; probably more so than at any time since the immediate post-WW II period. After 9/11, every country in the world was with us – remember, Syria and Iran both provided us with valuable intelligence information pinning the attacks on bin-Laden and in tracking him to Afghanistan.
It took Bush almost no time to destroy that, undoing 200+ years of history during which our nation at least tried to be a model to the rest of the world. The world now has a more favorable opinion of China than it does the US; and, anti-American terrorist organizations are larger, stronger, and more popular than ever. Bush has increased their recruitment while reducing the number of recruits in the US military.
Al-Qaeda did not take away the rights and personal liberty of America’s citizens – the Bush Administration and conservatives did;
Al-Qaeda never laid a finger on the US Constitution – the rape of that document is being committed by the Bush Administration and conservatives;
Al-Qaeda has not revealed the identity of any of America’s covert Intelligence Agents – but, the Bush Administration has.
Al-Qaeda is not leading the campaign to have science in America’s classrooms replaced with the folktales and mythological beliefs of illiterate goat herders who lived thousand of years ago; who thought that the earth was flat; and who actually had to appeal to their God for a decision on whether is was OK for them to have sex with their livestock – but, the Bush Administration and conservatives are.
The real threat to America (far more than a bunch of pissed-off Muslims) are those Bush-loving conservatives who want to re-write the US Constitution in an attempt to overturn America’s secular democratic republic so they can replace it with a theocratic-based fascist government based on the humanity– and America–hating doctrine of their sadistic Old Testament God.
Speaking out against Bush is the most patriotic thing any American – former President or not – can do.

After what they pulled on Bill Clinton and for what they are letting Bush get away with, I think Bill should just laugh his a$$ off at him. Clinton may have lied but nobody died. He was a much better leader in my opinion, especially in foreign matters.
Yes I voted for Clinton - Proud to say I did not vote Bush.

Considering the kind of job Bush has done while in office, I don't have a problem with Bill Clinton taking George W. Bush to task for his many failures at home and abroad.

I think it's fine, if anyone knows what it's like to be president and screw up it's Bill Clinton. Bush's own father has even criticized some of his actions.

Dignity and Clinton go hand in hand like oil and vinegar.

What are you talking about? Clinton just praised Bush recently.

No former President should be knocking any other President former or current. History will not judge Clinton or Carter kindly. Then again, I wouldn't expect differently from (D) Presidents. Their terms will go down as possibly two of the worst in U.S. history, so neither has much to lose.
