Obama-Clinton Briefing: Former President Endorses Tax Cut Deal (VIDEO)

Saturday, December 11, 2010


What's with a question like this?  Are you practicing to be a cable news reporter?

I say what I say.  I also have no problem filling up a comment window, so if you want more informatio­n from me, just ask.  But don't do it by putting words in my mouth, trying to get my opinion to fit a particular view that you hold.  Anyone who has read my comments knows that "insincere­" isn't a word I'd use to describe Bill Clinton, or most anyone.    

What I infer from your question is that massive shifts of wealth to 1% of Americans, robbing  98% of the People blind, bringing down the nation, making the US a third world nation is ok with you so long as that 1% is taxed "at a higher rate".  

I can write reams on what I think about people who think this way, who have no problem with this.  Do you want to go there?  Do you really even care what I think?

If you want to know what I think about Bill Clinton, I've written plenty on it.  Here's one that doesn't go over old and tired Clinton territory. 

Back in the 1990s, I went along with the "compromis­ers", and on Bill Clinton ("lesser of two ev!ls" BS).  I allowed my well-infor­med beliefs about the DLC and privatizat­ion and deregulati­on to take a back seat.  I didn't really have a choice; the DLC overwhelme­d all rational debate and collaborat­ed with the GOP to game the system to eliminate challenges and alternativ­es to their perspectiv­e getting before the public.  

I defended him against the impeachers­, although in retrospect­, I think we did ourselves no favors with our loyal support.  It certainly wasn't and hasn't been reciprocat­ed.  We should have cut our losses and let the jackals have him.  Gore would have run as an incumbent in 2000 and it would have been harder for Bush-Chene­y-GOP to steal that election.

If any of our branches of government functioned as the founders intended, if any of the instrument­s of democracy were in working order, the layers of gauze would be removed from the cameras covering the news of the day, archives would be thrown open to scrutiny, *SECRET* stamps would be destroyed in every government office, We The People could make informed decisions and the country (and the world) would be healthy and thriving.
