REGARDING:
“but it is my opinion that the Republicans should not have wasted an enormous amount of taxpayer money to investigate something that was never any of our business anyway.”

Look at it this way: While they were squabbling, they forgot to spend money and accidentally took in more money than they paid out for the first time since 1957. After the fact everybody talked about their fine policies producing that result but the fact is they were all caught by surprise when it happened.

Maybe we should impeach every president. (After this one, of course.)

And notice your “but” there.
Something was done wrong BUT nobody should investigate wrongdoing.
Someone disrespected the judicial branch of the United States Government BUT that is okay because we like that someone.
Someone got on national television and lied to the people who put him in office BUT that’s okay because he wasn’t one of those hypocritical Republicans.

Just because A is wrong, does not mean B is right.
Yes, the legislative branch of the United States Government should have let the Executive Branch do whatever he wanted because the American People don’t deserve honest leaders but — never mind, continue to worship him.

I’m reminded of a football coach who was accused of doing similar things with one of the cheerleaders a few decades back. The only thing in the minds of many was how well he won football games. President Clinton was far more valuable than a football coach and all the many women seem to have been over 18 anyway.

Travis, your comment does not make any sense at all. If the rich are not paying taxes of course they are getting rich. I am tired of hearing that wealthy people do not need to pay their share of taxes because they will put the money back into the economy. The Bush 2 years prove that is not what happens. He cut the rich taxes to next to nothing and we went into a major recession, not economic growth.

I am in agreement with Pete, I was much better off under Bill Clinton. The mess Bush 2 made placed us in this predicament, How do many of you (Bob Hudson, Jimbo) to name a few not remember the hard times we were placed in under George W? Hudson continues to carry on about abortion and gay marriage as if they were the only 2 issues facing America.

David for whatever is next Huie Green, agreed that Clinton should have refused to answer about Lewinsky, but it is my opinion that the Republicans should not have wasted an enormous amount of taxpayer money to investigate something that was never any of our business anyway.

REGARDING:
“Would like to make a point here:
Bill Clinton’s SEX LIFE was no one else’s business (same as yours or mine).“

Easy to say, but he signed legislation making it the business of other people.

Legally, it is sexual harassment to use a position of power to gain sexual favors. It is the job of the courts to determine if sexual harassment laws have been broken. When the courts tried to get the facts, President Clinton decided lying was preferable to trusting our government’s judicial system OR NOT ANSWERING.

Further, he did not just lie to the federal judge, he decided to go on television and lie to you as well. You don’t care and that’s fine.
Other people had their feelings hurt by being lied to by a man they trusted with their lives and futures.

The President is above the law.

He can pardon any crime he chooses to commit or have committed. The only law which applies to a sitting President is that he can be impeached of the House of Representatives votes to impeach and he can be removed from office if the Senate chooses to do so.

Had he simply chosen to not answer, it would have gone no further while he was in office.

David for honesty or silence

REGARDING:
“When Clinton left office, they had a Medicare surplus. Read that right? A surplus… Bush came in and destroyed in 8 years only for his GOP”

Well, that settles it, then.
I SHALL NOT VOTE FOR GEORGE W. BUSH FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012,

Wait a minute, HE isn’t running for office any more than is Honest Bill

David for current considerations
not blaming the Democrats
for the Fascist tactics of Andrew Jackson

Would like to make a point here:
Bill Clinton’s SEX LIFE was no one else’s business (same as yours or mine). Why he chose to lie about it, rather than say that, only he knows. How congress got involved in that aspect of his life is puzzling–except that seemed to be the only thing the Re-thug-licans could possibly use to try and oust HIM from office.
Fortunately for Obama, he’s True Blue to his wife, and they have nothing to throw at him but a bunch of lies and NO-NO-NO to everything he would do for us commoners.

It’s really amazing that some of you “so-called” Republicans are still hanging your hat on the false pretense that Obama is anti-American or some Muslim martyr. This was proven a lie years ago. It’s ridiculous that people still “pretend” to believe that garbage. When respected Republicans (like Donald Trump) go on the record spouting off with that trash, it makes the entire party look ignorant.

RU-KIDN-ME?… In the famous words of “The Gambler” Kenny Rogers, “don’t count your money while you’re sitting at the table…” there’ll be time enough for counting when the voting is done. Most of America can’t even afford the Kool Aid the Republicans are selling. I suggest you look at the latest polls of actual registered voters.

Why is anyone trying to “jam-up” Ray Nagin for what he did in New Orleans. He was a two term mayor who led that city through the absolute worse natural disater in US history. He probably would have won a third term if it weren’t for statutory limits. FEMA and the rest of the federal government caused most of the problems after Katrina – mostly due to inactivity and their initial passive response to a city that was definitely in need of emergency assistance.

I hope this does not cause my comment to be censored, but it has to be said. People, we need to get past “race” before our comments can even be taken seriously regardless of the issue being discussed.

This whole rich getting richer by not paying tax’s argument is dumb. Just because a large company does not pay tax’s does not mean the employees they pay do not. I know local company’s that paid no tax’s but employee a lot of people who pay tax’s on there income and spend a lot of money locally. These so called rich generate revenue and going after them is bad for business because some have already jumped ship because it is cheaper in other country’s. This applies to individuals as well as company’s. Obama is a ideal president in fair weather but currently we are in a storm and he is like the governor of New Orleans during a hurricane.

Don’t let the fear mongering and hate cloud the fact that this president has done a great job considering the fact that he was handed the wheel as this country was headed over a cliff after 8 years of Bush. He cares about helping regular hard working Americans who are struggling. He’s not trying to make millionaires richer like some folks. Why should middle class folks pay more in taxes so some millionaire pays less. Are all you folks bashing Obama on here millionaires or something? He said he’d get Bin Ladin. He did. He saved GM within weeks after taking office and it wasn’t a bailout. They paid back in full. He got us out of Iraq – another promise. Why all the hate for this decent, honorable and hard working president?

Say you no more issues than your party nominees. But you are consistant with the ignorant part. Gas has gone from $.25 In the 60s to the all most $4 a gallon today all that isn’t Obama fault. As for unemployed he’s put more back to work under his term than Bush 2 added in his eight years. The debt has grown about a trillion give or take a few billion every year since the great depression. Solyndra was a loss but not a great a loss as the recession Bush 2 created. The keystone pipeline is not the direction energy needs to be produced. Why give oil companies tax money we don’t have to allow them to make more from us. We already through your party give billions in tax breaks that need to end. What makes you think it’s a health care takeover. You must on stock in healthcare companies. Stop whinning about the past get your party to make a commitment as to how they need to correct the issues. Your like the leader of a marching band that can’t play a fight song. Reelect Obama 2012.
