During a recent speech Bill Clinton said his administration's "failures included its slowness to act to halt the genocide in Rwanda and the decision to allow federal agents to raid a cult leader's compound in Waco, Texas. " Nearly 80 cult followers died in a fire during the 1993 confrontation.
Yeah, to hell with lying before a grand jury or blowing the biggest chance to catch Osama Bin Laden. Clinton has truly lied so much that he actually is starting to believe his own lies.
Once again Clinton touted the fact that he turned around the economy, but once again gave no examples of how he accomplished that feat. Psst...it is because he doesn't know.
However, with all do respect I do believe one of the greatest achievements of his Presidency was clarifying the meaning of the word "is."
For a good laugh:
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true." (Bill Clinton, sworn testimony).
So to clarify, Bill Clinton IS a lying cheat. Past, present or future.

Oh, I am serious...
For one we didn't ever really respond in Rwanda, slow or otherwise. As with all the decisions during the Clinton administration, he checked the polls and determined the politcal fall out first. That man killed more people through indecision, then Bush as killed through his actions in Iraq.
Waco was a mistake in some regards. However, not catching the man responsible for thousands of deaths around the world and is still at the heart of most current conflicts would rank higher in my mind. Remember we are talking with hindsight in the year 2005!
As for the economy, don't forget that the Republican congress would't let him pass much of his agenda. I don't see the county giving much credit to the hundreds of respresntatives serving in congress during the 90s, but the country seems to want to give all the credit to one man.
You remember what Bill Clinton's first great achievement was? Gays in the military. And that set the tone for one worthless act after another.
"Wasn't Clinton a Rhodes Scholar in Economics?" Then why can't anyone (including himself) from his adminstration explain the economy? A Rhodes Scholar...well that answers everthing.
Oh, yeah one more thing...
If Clinton and Democrats know what worked in the 90s, why the hell haven't they arcticulated that knowledge in the last few elections?
One more thing.
I guess fighting genocide in Rwanda is fine, but fighting genocide in Iraq is not. WMDs were a reason to go to war, but not the only reason.
Clinton picked the easiest battles. Bush picks battles regardless of the political outcome. That is why I voted for him and continue to support him.
Congrats Capo Rock, you have been completely mislead by the media. It took only 5 years.
This is America, not a monarchy. Bush didn't assend to the presidency, he earned it. No different than any President before him.
It is plain stupid to say the President of the United States couldn't even run a coffee shop. Are you that dumb?
You honestly believe he bumbled his way to Presidency?
WAKE UP!!!!! You sound like Moveon.org or the Washington Post! Have an original thought!!!
