It is interesting how a former President spends his time; if a successful President then you can spend you time in the glow of your time served as President. President Ronald Reagan was seen to have had a successful Presidency. In the year that he left office, the Berlin Wall came down, the Democratic Movement won in Nicaragua and the Soviet where out of Afghanistan. In essence Reagan had achieved what he had wanted to achieve when he became President in 1981. Thus we come to President Bill Clinton.
It has to be stated that when Bill Clinton was running in 1993 against Bush 41, VIEWS could see that he was a great politician but could not believe that the American Public would vote with a man with so many drawbacks on the personal level no matter how intelligent and charismatic he was, NO JFK but not bad. Views was reading the Broadsheets in his first year at University and his friends asked him who would win the election, Views wanted to say Bush 41 but he had to give a truthful ANSWER, it would be Clinton. VIEWS was about to give Clinton the benefit the doubt then he heard his first
inaugural Speech and the perceived attack on the Reagan and Bush years, VIEWS recalled thinking people in glass houses should be careful not to attack others for mistakes when one was on thin ice concerning one’s own behaviour, draft dodger and the alleged affairs, he refused to confirm Gennifer Flowers at the time but this turned out to be true. After that VIEWS would tend to take a negative view of Bill Clinton. Clinton never let VIEWS down in his ability to create a negative out of nothing. Thus by the end of his Presidency, he had failed to get a Middle East Peace, North Korea was back to where the administration had started in 1993, Terrorism had declared WAR on the USA in the shape of UBL and then we have the Pardon scandal of the last day of Bill Clinton combined with plea deal to end the investigations of Bill Clinton that started with Whitewater and ended up by his trial and Impeachment over an affair with a White House Intern. VIEWS could not wait for Bill Clinton to go, enough was enough by 2000.
Then we come to blame game for 9/11, as VIEWS has stated neither Clinton or Bush are to blame for lack of action more for leadership before 9/11. But it should be noted that Bill Clinton had eight years while George W. Bush had less than seven months and before 9/11 Bush had decided he was going to do lot more than Clinton had done, no more missiles in empty tents.
Thus today we have Bill Clinton on Fox news, if the
transcript is full the Clinton handlers should be worried should Senator Hillary R. Clinton the Junior Senator from New York decided to run for President. Does seem that Clinton does not do well when coming under critical inspection, perhaps he should stick to soft pieces as if he behaves like that during the election he may finish Hillary Clinton chances before they start, in a election cycle of American Presidential Politics these days, the opposition would have an extra field day with Bill Clinton if that is how he is going to behave when being interviewed by the Press. The Main Stream Media might be Liberal but they want a good story, and a Former President going off one, as we would say over water does great things for selling papers or rating for 24-hour news. Perhaps the former President should keep on the golf course and leave the politics to the Junior Senator. It has been noticed by VIEWS that President Clinton has a complex about Reagan, VIEWS recalls reading that it really annoyed Clinton that Reagan could walk ways from things while Clinton would be attacked, does sound a lot like the complex Nixon had about Kennedy.
