Think back several years....we didn't have 1/2 the problems under Bill Clinton as we do now....Agree?

Question

I knew as soon as Bush took over, the Middle East was going to blow up again. All the work Clinton did as a diplomat over there to try to simmer things down have gone to total sh*t....way to go Bush. I am still undecided with regards to Clinton or Obama....I'm just glad it will not be another Bush in power after the next election.

There will always be problems........I said there wasn't 1/2 the problems under Clinton.

Answer 1

They were running in the background and ignored.

Answer 2

Maybe if some of the other Presidents and that includes Clinton had showed more muscle and less diplomacy in the Middle East 9/11 would not have happened and things would be a lot different to-day. Every time there was an act of terrorism we backed off or made a half hearted attempt to retaliate so the terrorist thought we were a paper tiger and would once more go through the motions of retaliating then back off and they would still have a free hand.

Answer 3

what do we care either way, that was a more than a decade ago? i dont see news items about the homeless now either, but i see more of them than ever the last 2 years i live in the city and there is a soup kitchen down the street, so you get to see the migration of them every day theres definitely more than ever but i havent seen the news bashing bush about it

Answer 4

Disagreed. It's pretty much exactly the same. You either weren't paying attention during the Clinton years or you're choosing to ignore history.

Both Clinton and Bush are equally worthless, but one's a better public speaker.

Answer 5

Whenever someone starts badmouthing the Clintons I always ask them one question:

"What was the unforgettable phone number in 1982?"

If they answer correctly, I know they are old enough to remember how great the Clinton Administration was and so they are just another lying neocon.

If they don't remember the song, then they are just too young to remember how much better we had it in the 90's.

Answer 6

Let's see ... right now he have colossal deficits, a falling dollar, a bogus war based on lies, and a severe undermining of Checks & Balances.

But when you compare that to a BJ, it's clear that Bush is a great improvement! At least, that's what Bush worshippers (Druids?) will tell you.

Answer 7

I'm for Hillary. Look back at history, and you see war, famine, pestilence, and coincidentally, a man was in power. Women are natural care givers, which leaves to reason they may be more in touch with the common ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Hey Queen !! I notice a lot of black people have a natural talent for rhymes. Is it genetic ? Or do you just read a lot of Dr. Seuss books while growing up?

Answer 8

What work did Clinton do as a diplomat over there? He bombed Afghanistan too, you know.

Answer 9

Most of the problems were there, they just had not matured into full blown disasters.

Answer 10

No, we didn't. We had six times the problems. But we never heard about them because the press didn't report them.
In case you didn't notice, there are no Bush candidates this time.
And also in case you didn't notice, the Middle East situation has improved, not declined, since Clinton left office.
But you need to stop watching CNN and PMSNBS for your news. Then you may possibly get informed, you douchebag.

Answer 11

It looks to me like somebody has never heard of a place called the Balkans, which was conveniently bombed and raided during the Lewinski scandal and diverted media attention from his lying to the American public. Invasive foreign policy has been a motif of the presidency for over 100 years.
