Illegal Appeal of Clinton

Isn't there an explicit appeal of the Clinton campaign that we get Bill with the deal? If things get tough, we've got good 'ole feel good Bill Clinton with 8 years of experience pulling the strings.

The fact is: I like Bill Clinton.

I don't trust him, even for a politician. As in, I wouldn't leave him in the room alone with a lady friend. Nor do I believe he stands by what he says or believes. He is a man of the moment. A good actor. But he's also smart, really, really smart and therefore makes practical decisions that don't muck things up too much. He was the perfect President of 1992-2000. A worse President would have made those years worse.

But a better President would've also made those years worse. A better President would've made us see the troubles laying underneath. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, made us feel good...and rich.

2008. Bush is a worse President than Clinton. History may prove otherwise, but I doubt it. Some of us feel comfortable, even good, returning to the Clintons.

Why?

We don't believe in dynasties. We believe in two-term limits. Say what you will about the Bush clan...papa stayed out of the way - even when he know (and was probably right) that son was doing not-so-well. With Bill, we know he won't stay out of the way. In fact, part of the Clinton appeal is to have him back.

Why are we so willing to look the other way with respect to the law?

Because it's the Clinton's, stupid.
