Why was nothing Clintons fault but everything is Bushs fault?

Question

Silver cant provide one single link to one single indictment against Bush, yet at the same time calls me 12. Thanks for the laugh sweeite.

Answer 1

Your statement that I have not provided a link is false. If you could read you would have seen it.

You have named me, insulted me, and made a false statement about me in your edit line, and you have been reported.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you are about twelve years since your question suggests the simplistic perspective of a child.

This information is provided to help you understand why.

Clinton left office with an approval rating of 65%, the highest of any end-of-term president since the Second World War.

Here is a list of Bush's accomplishments in office, directly quoted from The Articles of Impeachment of George W. Bush, et.al.

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

Answer 2

Why is it that the IRS scandal and Libya are by some potential Bush's fault? At no time did Bush blame a youtube vid for the assaults. He in no way withheld the help of people calling for help. At no time did The IRS under Bush ask for inner maximum information on donors to those communities. We have been warned approximately 9-11 in 1996, 4 years in the previous Bush have been given into workplace, Clinton in no way observed greater wholesome to bypass the warning directly to the incoming president. what number US Ambassadors died while Bush replaced into in workplace, what number cases did the assaults final over 7 hours with American help merely minutes away, help that replaced into ordered to stand down? provide up attempting in charge Bush, guy up and admit that obama screwed up, the three am call got here and neither he nor Clinton replied.

Answer 3

Both parties are with fault They both can be corrupt and conniving, but the dems get a pass (thanks in part to the media), while the repubs get caught and crucified.

Bush could take a dump and wipe with 2-ply instead of 1 and the libs will throw a fit!

Answer 4

This is a vague question, Clinton was accused of a lot of things that occurred during the Elder Bush's term; however Clinton was a good President and many of the issues he dealt with would not have an effect on the Current Bush's Terms. Bush is considered at fault because of his poor decision making, and lack of response toward tragic events.

Answer 5

When Clinton was President, things were going great in the country. The national debt was a whole lot lower, jobs were out there, and the man could charm the apples off of an orange tree. Sure, he was a bit of a rounder, and on a slippery slope of morals, but he did no worse than so many other presidents and high ranking government officials. The only difference is the others were not caught, at least while they were alive.

Answer 6

Liberals are hypocrites who love Clinton because of Clinton's evils.

Answer 7

I guess that is the best the 'Pubs can do, in excusing Bush from his many international faux pas', unreasonable deficit spending, violation of human rights and total disregard for the US Constitution, by focusing on the misconduct of another.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

Shame on you, guys; man up and admit that the current administration is inept, rudderless and disregards the American people's interests.

Answer 8

This is a horrible question- it's vague, has no examples and uses blanket statements to try to make a point. (This shows a lack of intelligence)

Not to mention both Presidents share different principles & morals- You need to do some reading on Politics & Civics before asking such an arbitrary question- there is no way to answer this without getting into a lesson of some sort.

Answer 9

Because Bills tenure ended 7 years ago
Hillary's hasn't even started
And Bush has been steering the boat for the last 7 years.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that.

Peace

Answer 10

Because the Bush regime has been so adamant on pushing and bullying their way around, from the vote fiasco in Florida, to the War, and many, many things between. Haliburton. Enron. Yellowcake. The list is endless.

Clinton had more in common with regular folk. The cons wanted to make a big deal out of his sexual indescretions. I say, if Hillary is fine with it, why should it be any of my business? At least it wasn't with a page of the same sex! And he admitted it when pressured. Any politician, dem or rep, won't admit to jack unless pressured.

You weigh the difference of millions of wasted sperm cells that is nobody's business, or the loss of thousands of lives based on falsehoods and lies.

Answer 11

I always thought the country ran fine when Clinton was taking care of it
Bush comes along and has past problem with other countries cause of faults from his father, when he was in charge. Now wants to defend the person who threatened his father, Now that is just how I see it.
I still believe everyone wanted and talked about impeaching Clinton for cheating on his wife, why is this moron still the president? he has like 80% of the country (not to mention the world) against him, but he is still in the office and I have not heard of the thought of having him impeached!!
