And who do we suppose is going to come in and champion this cause?
Surely it isn't Clinton or Gore! Perhaps a supernatural intervention is
close at hand??? This story you've sent Amelia is sad, but a rude awakening
for some.
Thanks for the reminder, that not all Americans have had a Merry Christmas
sitting by the fireplace. And as pointed out, THIS is under the Clinton
Administration. Unfortunately, it mattered not who got the Presidency,
the new admin was going to inherit this travesty regardless. We will also
reap the bombshells of a declining economy, not a bounding economy as the
Clinton admin would propagandize us to believe. Soon we will see just how
bad of condition this country really is in, and though it will come out
during the Bush admin, it won't be Bush who created it. Clinton will leave
behind a legacy of failures. Only the tip of the iceburg has begun to be
exposed.
