Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Remembering President Clinton

� 2000 WorldNetDaily.com
First of all, Merry Christmas to all WorldNetDaily readers. Thanks for taking
the time this year to read my musings. Right now with George W. Bush warming
up in the bullpen, a description he would like, some in the media are
beginning to analyze Bill Clinton's eight years in office. Alas, I am one of
those.
As some of you know from watching my television program "The O'Reilly
Factor," Mr. Clinton is not my favorite guy. But not for the reasons he and
others of the Democratic persuasion think. You see, I want my president to be
a problem solver and to put the folks ahead of his own self in the pecking
order of life. Let's take a look at the record regarding President Clinton.
As far as the economy is concerned Mr. Clinton did a good job managing it up
until this year when he went into the tank and stopped governing. The
president said not a word when OPEC slowed down production, and that action
is going to cause us a mini-recession in 2001. Since Mr. Clinton had no
energy policy to fall back on, the OPEC production cut and subsequent higher
oil prices were a disaster for working Americans and corporate profits. The
reason the president did not aggressively fight the OPEC action is that he
desperately wanted Arab cooperation in a Middle East peace deal, and he was
too busy raising money for the Democratic Party and himself to pay close
attention to macroeconomics. Mr. Clinton knew that any recession in 2001 was
going be somebody else's problem.
Thus the champion of the phrase "it's the economy, stupid," leaves the
American people with a very shaky and somewhat stupid economy, and it did not
have to be that way.
The situation points up what I believe is Mr. Clinton's biggest fault -- he's
selfish. The presidency was all about him, not us. He is quoted as saying he
doesn't know how history will treat him but no one had more fun in office
than he did. Swell. I'm glad he had so much fun. That's where I want my tax
dollars to go -- fun for the president. Are you getting the picture here?
If not, here are a few more things that offended me about President Clinton.
He spent lavishly on himself and his family to travel the world, and many of
those trips were little more than fabulous junkets. I know some of the people
who went on them -- no expense was spared. We're back to fun again.
Mr. Clinton also did nothing about the drug problem in America, the illegal
immigrant problem on the southern border, high health costs, poor public
school education and a deteriorating military. I repeat -- he did nothing
about those problems in eight years. In fact some of them got worse.
The president fiddled while America's airline industry fell apart. He
appointed the incredibly incompetent Rodney Slater as Transportation
Secretary. Mr. Slater ran up huge expenses while doing nada.
And we all know about the nuclear secrets debacle and the campaign finance
illegalities. Also, I hope you have noticed that I did not mention Monica
Lewinsky one time.
On the plus side, Mr. Clinton cut the welfare rolls, increased home ownership
in America, kept inflation under control by balancing the budget and kept
crime down by effective use of block federal grants to local law enforcement
agencies.
But the American worker got slaughtered under Mr. Clinton, even if Joe and
Betty America don't really know it. Taxes are the highest since World War II
and individual spending depletes almost all personal income. In other words,
many American workers are living paycheck to paycheck. And those paychecks
are no longer secure.
So I believe Mr. Clinton did little of lasting importance. Nobody is going to
remember the go-go economy of the '90s 30 years from now. But after eight
years of Mr. Clinton, our kids still face a rampant narcotics infestation,
sky-high medical costs, poor public education, a wobbly Social Security
system and a jaded social outlook where about half the population feels it is
quite OK to lie under oath if you're talking about sex.
No question that Bill Clinton had brains and charisma and a big opportunity
to make this country a better place. For lack of a better phrase, he blew it.
