I don't think I'm getting you wrong at all when I surmise that if Clinton said, "Good morning," you'd claim he'd just tried to assassinate you after sleeping with ten ladies-of-the-night, and that it was the middle of the afternoon, so he was lying.

You're not anti-Clinton exactly, just as you said; but in that case, can you name several things that the man did in office that you really think were great?

There have always been people (not you) who resented the fact that Clinton proved a better overall fiscal manager of the presidency than anyone in recent memory--he stole the Conservative wing of the Republican Party's thunder on this, and they never forgave him.

And for the record, I do think he deserved impeachment, so don't typecast me as a "Clinton supporter." I just think that he pursued a remarkably efficient and effective career promoting the American economy in every way, often to the detriment of equally important matters. His personal restraint was abominable, his sense of the dignity of office was sporadic, his speechmaking was dull and repetitive (but he did use his own, at least). I fault him for hiring far too many people who hated him, and for following through on the foreign policies of previous administrations without attempting to rethink their approaches and discover his own. He was an astonishly quick learner, but superficial. But as a fiscal administrator, I think he was without equal in the Oval Office--Enron was a mistake, but Lay was one of literally hundreds of executives who regularly accompanied Clinton on his so-called "ecomonic junkets" to sell American trade and goods overseas. He was a firstclass merchant administrator, IMO. [img]smile.gif[/img]
