As a history buff, I have a tendency to rub people the wrong way when it comes to telling them what really happened.
So when I keep hearing all of this garbage about how Bill Clinton was the worst president, because he'd lied about committing adultery, my initial reation is more like this...
:rotflmao:
Thomas Jefferson, Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, FDR, and Woodrow Wilson highlights a good short list of presidents involved sex scandals. Now take a look at some of the highlights of their careers
Thomas Jefferson- Patriot and founding father
Eisenhower- Supreme Allied Commander, World War II
JFK- WWII veteran, president during the Cuban Missle Crisis
Woodrow Wilson- president during WWI
FDR- President during WWII and the great depression
All of previously mentioned presidents had participated in more torrid affair than one William J. Clinton; yet, in our darkest hours, these men had made crucial decisions that saved this nation from total distruction. Why? because these men understood their duties as president are "here" and their personal lives are "there"; a standard set in stone.
So what really separates Bill Clinton's affair from the others? A stupid and ignorant REPUBLICAN LED CONGRESS!!!
You see, unlike the other congresses, this one wanted to set an EXAMPLE! The previous congresses were very wise; with knowledge aforethought of the dangers of distracting the president from performing his duties, they chose to simply remind the president of what they know and simply asked him to end the affair(s).
Think about it for a minute. If Sen. Bill Frist, Sen. Bob Dole, or any prominent Republican politician, had simply walked up to Bill, presented their case, then politely asked him to end this affair, Bill would had done it.
So you're asking yourself,"What difference would that had made?". Well, President Clinton had two chances to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden, but couldn't. You see, the REPUBLICAN LED CONGRESS, put on a political campaign accusing President Clinton of quote,"wagging the dog", by using military force in retaliation for the attack on the USS Cole. As the result, President Clinton had no "political capital" and was forced to back down and end the campaign.
So what did we learn today?
1. One out of evey five or six presidents will be involved in a sex scandal. Bill is neither the first nor the last president to have one. Deal with it!
2. You can actually live a sinful life and still be an effective president.
3. NEVER DISTRACT THE PRESIDENT OVER SOME MICKEY MOUSE BULLSHIT!!! He has more things to do other than wondering if anybody knows that he's cheating on his wife.
Just a thought!
