2005/9/22 [Politics/Domestic/President/Clinton] UID:39824 Activity:high
9/22    Clinton dodged the draft, hid FBI files, smoked dope, flipped
        Whitewater property, set up a new Korean wing in the White House,
        fired the travel staff, paid hush money to Hubbell, sold the
        Lincoln bedroom like an upscale Motel 6, and grabbed
        every ass that entered the Oval Office. Got it? Good.
        \_ What is this in relation to? Do you really want us to list all
           the bad stuff about Dubya? BTW: Clinton never inhaled.
        \_ Clinton didn't inhale. Dubya snorted coke.
           \_ huh?
        \_ How many thousand people died because of Clinton's scandals?
           \_ How many people died during Desert Storm under Clinton?
                \_ Desert Storm was a Clinton scandal? WTF?
                \_ tons.. mogadishu.. kosovo..
                \_ 0, Desert Storm was under Bush I.  Exactly!
                   \_ It started under Bush I and continued in Clinton's
                      time.
                      \_ Are you stupid or just stupid?  Or are you thinking
                         that the no fly zone enforcement was part of Desert
                         Storm.  What would BUD DAY think?
           \_ I imagine more people died under Lincoln or FDR.  How many
              died under Bush I?  I wouldn't be surprised if Bush I & II
              have the least blood on their hands of any war-time president.
              \_ It's this type of thinking that gets America screwed up in
                 the head about what the military is used for. While
                 casulties are an important consideration, War is an extension
                 of Politics. Comparing the number of dead is rather pointless.
                 \_ I didn't start the comparison of number dead.  However,
                    if you want to run numerical comparisons, then Bush II is
                    relatively clean.  Personally, I think 1 dead in an
                    unnecessary war is too many and a million dead in a
                    necessary war is not.
                    \_ ~100,000 dead Iraqis in a war of choice is too many.
                        \_ not to the Christian zealots
                        \_ And if that were the number, it might be worth
                           quoting.
                 \_ Clinton's wars were not scandals, neither were Lincoln's
                    or Bush I's or FDR's.  They didn't lie to invade countries
                    unilaterally that posed no threat to us.
                    \_ You mean the Nazi's actually did bomb Pearl Harbor? And
                       the Civil War was actually fought to free the slaves?
                    \_ So how many died under LBJ?
                        \_ Who cares? This is about how Clinton's scandals
                           are meaningless compared to our current President.
                           \_ IOW, LBJ is worse, but let's not talk about him.
        \_ You forget to mention that he assassinated anyone who threatened to
           reveal his financial crimes, that he gave away the Panama Canal to
           his Chinese masters, and that he had Waco stormed because he was
           jealous of Korresh's harem. Oh, and black helicopters, black
           helicopters, black helicopters! Quick, borrow my tinfoil hat!
           \_ And the embarrassment in Somalia to our elite forces.

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

        http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090427/pl_afp/uspoliticsobama100daysasia
        Just like the way Clinton was the first African-American president.
        \_ Two wars, a banking, housing, and general economic crisis, a truly
           massive deficit, and now, Swine Flu.  Has any president except for
           Lincoln and Roosevelt faced worse?

2/27    CA unemployment increases from 9.3% to 10.1% for Jan
        \_ Good thing the legislature passed the biggest tax increase in
           history!  That should solve it.
           \_ because cutting taxes has done such a great job so far!
                \_ it has.. giving mortgages to poor folks did us in
