Your Favorite G.W. Bush Blunder

RE: Clinton Said What?

 

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- When asked what's wrong with letting local school districts decide how best to spend federal education dollars,

President Clinton replied, "because it's not their money"

 

Once again, Bill knows how to spend other people's money better than they do.

__________________________________________

At a press conference July 21, 1999, Bill Clinton stated:

"John Kennedy had actually not been back to the White House since his father was killed, until I had became president - and first he was on an advisory committee that made a report to me, and he came back to the Oval Office where he saw the desk that he took the famous picture in - you know, coming through the gate, for the first time since he was a little boy."

___________________________________________

In an interview with Chris Matthews February 5, 1996 when asked about the time President Nixon hosted a dinner party in 1971, John F. Kennedy, Jr. described it in these words:

 

"He had invited my mother to the White House privately, and she accepted and brought all of us, Caroline and me, back. He was very warm and he was a wonderful host and we saw the rooms where we had lived. My sister (I was sort of a hyperactive child) and my sister had a bet with me that either I would spill my milk or my shirttail would be untucked because that used to happen with great frequency. So I had gotten through most of the dinner and shirttail was in and milk was upright and I think we were at dessert. Something caught my attention and the milk went over - right over his lap and he just was very - you

know - just didn't blink and just kind of wiped it up - and I lost the bet ... it was a memorable evening."

 

So which person told the truth - and which person "embellished" to bolster his own image! The story of the Nixon party was written by Chris Matthews in a book which the President displays in his bookcase.

Mr. Clinton made a "joke" during a White House Press meeting during the weekend of May 1, 1999. He assured the group that although Al Gore attended the Kentucky Derby, he did not sire the winning horse. Everyone laughed (??) This is the president of the United States, making jokes about the VP having sex with a horse?

Clinton: "I can spend your money better than you can."

In a post-State of the Union speech in Buffalo, NY on January 20, 1999, Bill Clinton was asked why not a tax cut if we have a surplus. Clinton's response:

"We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right... But ... if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013 -- that's just 14 years away -- taxes people pay on their payroll for Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every parent here to look at the young people

here, and ask yourself, 'Do you really want to run the risk of squandering this surplus?' "

So, Clinton thinks we won't spend our money right so he'll do it for us!

"President Clinton should think twice before accepting invitations to strap on a loincloth for any Thanksgiving re-enactment," says U.S. News & World Report's Paul Bedard.

 

"You see, he recently claimed that his grandmother's grandmother was Cherokee. 'My grandmother was one-quarter Cherokee,' said Mr. Clinton. His claim came as some Indians were criticizing his initiative on race for ignoring them. If his claim were true, that would make him one-sixteenth Cherokee, but tribal authorities doubt his claim. Cherokee Heritage Center genealogist Tom Mooney says, 'If you lived in Arkansas ... give it up,' because the roots of the tribe are Oklahoma-, Texas-, and North Carolina- based." "Worse, the White House didn't find his kin's name to compare against the official Cherokee rolls."

Leaving so soon, F3? When you lack a cogent response to the issues, you just characterize what you don't agree with as "idiocy and demagoguery", and head for the tall grass. FFF and Dubya.....perfect together, always avoiding the real issues and heading down the rabbit trails.

 

Dubya couldn't even learn the hard lesson that his Daddy did after losing the election to WJC.......it's the economy, stupid.

 

So Dubya thinks if he gets us into war with Iraq, no one will be thinking about how the American economy is in the crapper. It's deja vu all over again.

Translation: F cubed has revised the ages old rules for scoundrels. Formerly, their last refuge was demogoguery, in which he has amply demonstrated his proficiency. }> As amended, the 'ABSOLUTE HE REALLY MEANS IT' last refuge of his ilk is cutting and running. :*

 

Congrats, F 3, on being sharp enough to know when you're on the losing end of facts, arguments, principles, morals, history, research, and debating skills, not to mention civility. :o

 

You might be a seriously deranged right wing latter-day Whig, but good civil libertarian that I am, I'll always defend your right to be a knucklehead. (And, of course, your right to make purse jokes).

 

Yours in Civil Liberties,

P.S. You are such a gifted wordsmith. Tis a pity the Wiccan Goddess Coulter casts such a spell of bitterness on you. x(

Let's go to the video

 

Sorry, but I haven't read all the messages in this thread and I'm not sure anyone actually posted a link (I hope it works) to the video. The Bush speech comes about 50 seconds into the John Stewart segment. Click on the "Watch Now" under "Headlines":

Huey,

 

Politics is a game the problem is that people get too passionate over the issues and common sense gets left behind. I have worked for BOTH political parties, based on that experience I see no difference between EITHER party. That is why I am a cynic.

 

Hugs,

:*

RE: Clinton Said What?

 

Go get 'em, Taylor! I like your humor. I also like your comments about old men not being the ones dying for the cause. ;-) In my day (God, when WAS THAT??)...LOL...George McGovern said, near the end of the Vietnam War, "I'm tired of old men dreaming up new wars for young men to fight and die in." x(

 

The more things change, the more they stay the same. :+

Guess that little Camp David/Peace between Israela nd Egypt didn't count for much. Jimmy Carter is a very well respected international figure. His humanitarian work alone makes him a much more towering figure than Reagan, Bush, CLinton and W combined.

But to paraphrase Michael Parenti, I'd spend less time laughing at him and more time thinking about how vicious he is.

 

For the record, I don't find Democrats one iota less loathsome or despicable than Republicans.
