And I suppose Bush selling 2/3 of his Harken stock just before it tanked when he was director, consultant, and company auditor doesn't look suspicious in the least to you? Or how about when he sold 10% of Arbusto (his first company, a total failure), which was worth $38,237.60, for 1 million dollars?? I wish the rest of us had it so good when our businesses went belly-up! Quote:
If, on the other hand, you're talking about job approval ratings, then right now, Bush is at 60% - Clinton left with 68%, and had some very high points, such as 81% after his State of the Union speech in 1999. I'll show you more of these later. In any case, Bush's current numbers don't top Clinton's by any stretch of the imagination. Quote:

In any event, I hope the new Campaign Finance Reform Bill will work the way it's supposed to, so that third-party candidates are given more of a chance and more politicians actually have to stand up for what they believe in or risk getting unhorsed by a Libertarian or a Green or somebody.

http://www.perkel.com/politics/clinton/accomp.htm Here are some more. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Clinton.html As I told MagiK, I can't be on long, so that's just a taste of his accomplishments (for those people who were living on Mars during his administration and don't remember any accomplishments). He's certainly done more wonderful things than either of the Bushes or Reagan. Quote:
If Reagan - or just about any other president, for that matter - were elected in 1977, I'm sure they would have been a one-termer.

Alexander,
Thank you very much for posting those links! I had not checked this thread but once after I posted here and had not at that time been questioned about my comment(s). Really, anyone wondering if Clinton did anything good for this nation just has to look at the national deficit's standing when he came in to office and again when he left...impressive improvement to say the least...and that isn't even with mentioning the jobs, the Welfare reform (making people obtaining welfare actually look for and get jobs or stop receiving benefits), available health benefits, economic improvements, etc. etc. etc. Had it not been for Clinton, national emergency rooms would still be able to literally shove people out their doors without medical aid if they did not have insurance...I was one of those people (literally pushed but not quite shoved) denied emergency medical help because at that time I did not have medical insurance and I am lucky to be alive...even the Dr who pushed me thought I was going to die.

I know a few self-made millionaires who came from dirt-poor families and started out with nothing more than the shirts on their back. They weren't totally incompetent or complete f***ups either (those are the rich folk's kids lol). God Bless America. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

[img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]lol... you may be right. i wasnt referring only to a certain son a an american expresident though. in argentina the son of ex president fernando de la rua is a "succesful" enterpreneur thanks to his dad connections. he even ventured into politics with his own group (they called them sushi, for their tendency to eat it) until they failed miserably like the rich kids sons they are.
