With his place in the history books at stake, the President is attempting to remain constantly in motion, so they can't tie him to the stake ( and we all know what they do to people who are tied to the stake, or is it ' steak '? ). Could this lame duck president be more aptly described as a ruptured duck? As he scurries around the world, looking for problems he can solve, or create and then solve; he should just thank his lucky stars that the economy he inherited from the Reagan/Bush years was free of the CCCP monkey on it's back, and grew like a snowball rolling down hill!
I believe the first sentence of Bill Clinton's legacy will forever read that he was the second president to be impeached by the House of Representitives, and in fact, the one and only " elected " president to be impeached, so far in American history.
The next sentence may be something about the booming economy of turn of the millennium America. The only question would be whether or not they give Clinton the credit. I still find it hard to believe that the media and the people are swallowing Clinton's " Wag The Surplus " phoney campaign of adding to it's total, by " guestimating " farther and farther into the future. There is a reason why economists usually don't make these type of far flung estimates of where the economy will be in decades; THINGS CHANGE. Doing a fifteen year estimation is completely ludicrous. In Clinton's case of fictitious surpluses, the approaching six trillion dollar Whitehouse estimate could be completely zero, if the economy tanks in the years to come. Believe you me; if all the crazy liberal Democrat entitlements were to be passed by the Congress, you could kiss that faux surplus good bye, as well as the Social Security Trust Fund and Medicare!
On the foreign policy scene, the Clinton administration has been completely inept. It has failed in every endeavor, including the one it created for itself in Kosovo, Yugoslavia and the innocent Yugoslavian Serbs paid for it with their blood. Clinton cronies have quite possibly sold out American national security to the communist government of the People's Republic of China for campaign cash; as opposed to dealing with the important related issues, like the independence of Taiwan or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction throughout Asia. Clinton tried to solve traditional disputes from Northern Ireland to the Middle East, in an effort to buy a Nobel Peace Prize for himself, but he only found out that his temporary fixes, were actually no fixes at all, temporary or otherwise.
Clinton's small town, small state Arkansas political machine policies only exposed his history of graft and corruption back in Little Rock. From selling contracts for contributions, to looking the other way while drug flights came into Mena airport, the trail of dirty dealings and broken women followed Bill Clinton to the White House. Ross Perot was right when he questioned the qualifications of Clinton as being only governor of a state smaller than the city of Dallas, Texas; it is beginning to look like he was right. To kill two birds with one stone, hide the corruption and seek a legacy, the villifying of Clinton's enemies and the pure fabrication of crisis then solved, have become the common place building blocks of Clinton's selfish non-legacy. Hopefully, not all of the North American lemmings have fallen under his evil moronic spell?
Bill Clinton is finding out first hand, that a good fund-raiser-in-chief, is not always the best commander-in-chief, as far as the history books are concerned. His best qualities as a politician do him little good trying to be a leader of men!
