Wild Bill!

“The Legacy of William Jefferson Clinton”

Just when we thought President Clinton had made people forget his lewd, illicit relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, and the idiotic impeachment that followed his lying about it under oath, wild Bill is at it again. Mr. Clinton is engaged in a dirty tricks campaign for his wife that should have died with Nixon’s Watergate scandal. He and Hillary are so frightened by the prospect of Barack Obama winning the Democratic nomination for president they have stooped to lying about Obama’s record and otherwise twisting information to make it appear that the Senator from Illinois is less than what he says he is.

Since leaving the White House in 2001, Mr. Clinton has suffered from and recovered from a serious heart ailment, and done a remarkable job through his foundation raising hundreds of millions of dollars to fight starvation, AIDS and other pandemics around the world. He has formed bi-partisan relationships with the likes of George H.W. Bush, and together they have done more than any group to help the victims of the tragic Tsunami in Southeast Asia a few years ago. And while it is not in the least bit unusual for Mr. Clinton to use his extraordinary talent for campaigning to help Hillary to the nomination, it is quite another matter for an ex-president to engage in smear politics and fear-mongering ala the Bush administration.

The public, in my opinion, is happy to forgive Mr. Clinton his past sins. I think they will however, hold his legacy in contempt if he continues his bullying, aggressive and antagonist treatment of senator Obama.
