2012 Election

[El Kabong]

Nameless the whole "The US had a great image worldwide" is crap. Bill Clinton had a wag the dog war in Bosnia, he took us to Somalia, and there was this teeny tiny little incident with China (you know bombing their embassy) AND the World Trade Center was bombed, and a few embassies of ours were bombed, and USS Cole was attacked. So it ain't like we were walking on rose pedals during the Clinton years plus we had the Oklahoma City bombing and Waco so its not like 100% Americans loved Clinton either.

But W gets a bad rap, and why is that? Because he's a Republican.

The great thing about Clinton is if you look at a lot of the legislation he signed he could have been a great Republican Seriously though Presidents all to often get too much credit for the good times and too much blame for the bad. That being said going to Iraq can pretty much be squarley put on W's shoulders. Slick Willy like most successful Presidents was simply lucky. His presidency happened concurrent with an economic boom and he didn't step on his dick in the foreign policy arena. Until we get a president/senate/legislature that will willingly give away some powers of the Federal gov't and cap spending we will keep chargin up the credit card until the whole damn country gets re-possessed.

CLinton essentially turned into a kind of Republican once he failed to pass healthcare legislation and the Dems got slaughtered in the mid-term elections.

Sure it was....then feel free to explain the USSR

Greece wasn't a bastion of capitalism, it was socialist. Hell the problem with the EU is that the overwhelming majority of countries didn't belong in it to begin with! Italy has 0 business in it!
