Of course not.
Except these were the papers being written back then...
WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON...
America’s First Communist President
"Bill Clinton Much More Than A "Stealth" Communist President: He Is An Illuminist"
Correspondent J.R. Nyquist, writing in World Net Daily, recounts how he was told in 1982, when he was still in college, that Bill Clinton was picked to be a "stealth" Marxist President. While we welcome this revelation, we will demonstrate that the issue goes far above and beyond Clinton being a Communist. It is much more serious than that.
Communist
Murderer of around 80 people
Draft dodger
Liar
All these are just conveniently... pooof... forgotten in modern memories for some reason.
Exactly. I agree. As you see above where I said US Conservative's notion that Obama is the most socialist president in US history. My retort was "really? more than FDR?" And he doubled down.
There is a case to be made.
Obama is being held back by the politicians from both parties.
He would be more left if he had his way.
So you resort to use an extreme site and broadbrush all repubs into it?
Kudo's to you.....I guess, no matter how misguided that was on your behalf.
That's a mixed record, to be honest. Frankly, I care more about what "those in political circles remember" more than I do the general public.
They haven't forgotten NCLB, most American's don't know the ADA let alone IDEA-so I'm not concerned about that, the hoopla over faith-based initiatives was largely a left-wing fantasy, Medicare Part D was good, the Bioethics committee went in directions unconventional for the time (and since), Bush's Africa aid venture was widely praised in the early years of the Obama administration.
Why is it partisan? It's not. I am comparing Bush to Obama. Bush simply has a better family life than Obama does. Heck, even Clinton has a better family life than Obama and his family is WAAAAY more scandalous than the Bush's. Yet, there will NEVER be another Obama in the White House. Unless Michelle Runs. If the election were held tomorrow it's a slam dunk for another Clinton.
What has President Obama overcome?
True I would say, NCLB and Medicare Part D are the popular ones. My grandma still talked about that one up until her death.
Good thing Dems were all in on Medicare Part D and helped Bush save the program with its disastrous roll-out.
What has President Obama overcome?
Having no real father in his life, being middle class, being multiracial -- starting from essentially nothing and rising to one of most powerful positions on the planet (and the first black president).
Compare that to Bush, who was born into unlimited wealth and opportunity, with a bought-and-paid for Harvard degree. Despite unlimited everything, he was pretty much a failure until he entered politics. And because he couldn't think for himself and was wholly unqualified for any elected position, he became a pawn of evil men who twisted his administration into an abomination that will have negative global repercussions for decades.
A bought-and-paid-for degree? I don't think you really want to get into a discussion of degrees and who paid for them, do you? Or to denigrate one advanced Harvard degree over another. But if you do, let's talk about transcripts and Obama's from Occidental.
Bush I did a pretty credible job as president. It's too bad he didn't get a second term. Bush II might have been a lot better for the country if he hadn't listened to the Neocons and their rattling of sabers. Unfortunately, his legacy will remain the war in Iraq, thanks to Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz.
Actually...I think GWB's legacy will be more about what he did to the economy of this country. History will remember him as the Herbert Hoover of the 21st century.
He was certainly not born into privilege.
Hoover's reputation among historians has been improving for quite a while.
Hoover's reputation among historians has been improving for quite a while.
probably because he acted like a liberal and raised taxes?
Did anybody watch the Bush Interview on Hannity?
Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section. Not really sure where to put it. I was thinking political platforms, but in the interview Bush said that he is genuinely wanting just to talk about his father. It was as non-political as you can get.
Here are some highlights:
Both recent Presidents have written about their fathers. While Obama hardly ever knew his, Bush's father lived to see and praised his son becoming President.
Bush has a deep loving relationship with his father.
Bush 41 never wrote a memoir and his story is often overshadowed.
Bush 41 refused to help Bush 43 on major decisions except in an effort to make him laugh, smile or feel loved.
The Bush's don't think of themselves as a dynasty. Each man had different advisers, political beliefs, and were President during different times in History.
The Bush's and the Clintons are actually quite friendly. Bush said that if/when Jeb beats Hilary. His friendship with Bill will remain in tact.
Obama has great admiration for Bush 41. It is unknown if they talk regularly.
Obama has only once called Bush 43 and that was after the Osama Bin Laden raid. He doesn't seek advice from other Presidents. Unlike, any other President.
Another thing I noticed was how humbled Bush 43 was in this interview. I can detect most BS a mile away and I didn't see any of that in the interview. It is easy for me to point out if someone is just trying to sell me a book just to gain publicity, but he just wants to talk about his father. To anyone that would listen.
He seemed reluctant to even answer specific questions about world events like ISIS. He said he was happy to stay out of the limelight because he doesn't like attacking people or the Presidency. He thinks the people have complete control over the electoral process, as proven by the recent Republican wave.
Let me know if I have left anything out. Here is part of the interview. The longest I could find: Exclusive: George W. Bush on growing up in the Bush family | Hannity | Fox News
I think slick willy is done with running for office-you will have to settle for Hillary. :lol:
Unfortunately, we are probably going to be stuck with her in 2016, and that is not good. She is a very strong Neoliberal, who is owned by the corporations. Pretty much the same as Romney, and here is another sad fact. Both Hillary and Romney have been bought and paid for. However, Republicans supported Romney due to the R by his name, and Democrats will support Hillary due to the D by her name. Never mind that neither is patriotic, and would sell out their country in a heartbeat. People only care about the D or the R. And, of course, Obama kissed the asses of the banksters, and kept them rich with OUR freakin' money, and Dems supported him too. Why? Again, because he is a Democrat. Pathetic.
I guess you're conceding the larger point, since you've zeroed in on a small segment of my response in an attempt to divert attention.
Does anyone understand why the leftists are still going on about "Bush lies"? Do they genuinely not know any better or are they so determined to create a myth that the truth is simply ignored and discarded?so long as everyone forgets about invading Iraq based on lies and tanking the economy. He's not a bad guy but his legacy is in the toilet no matter how much GOP spin there is.
