I Never Did Like Bill Clinton

I hate Bill Clinton. I don't know why even today he enjoys so much popularity among Democrats and some Left-Leaning people. Bill Clinton is the first "Blue Dog Democrat", I think a major problem is nostalgia, especially among the 18-28 crowd, since he was President when they were children and we all hear about how the 1990s was a period of unprecedented economic growth, how he left us with a billion dollar surplus. Now some of you may already be rolling your eyes with thoughts of so what if he got a blow job. I don't care that he got a BJ, that's not my problem, my problem with him are things like NAFTA, and the continuation of the Regan and Bush I Neo-Liberal economic policies. Remember "Work-Fare"? How people who had formerly received welfare (at a rate which made living almost impossible) would have what they were receiving from the government cut in half so that they would go work somewhere for LESS than Minimum Wage, so they were getting double screwed. Than, than there are the things like this that he does http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/20/bill-clinton-blasts-olber_n_366184.html.

That is why I hate Bill Clinton. For those of you who may not want to click the link here's the story. Since October 8th on his shown on MSNBC Keith Olbermann has been promoting these free health clinic events that are to be done in major cities,six of them have already been done, last week they were in New Orleans. This week they are in Little Rock Arkansas, Bill Clinton who, not only being the former President of the United States, is also the former Governor of the state of Arkansas. Mr. Clinton was invited to come to the Health Care Clinic. Mr. Clinton has decided not to go to it following comments made by Mr. Olbermann on his show directed at Arkansas Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor who have been among the top "Blue Dogs" who have been opposing Health Care Reform and a robust Public Option (because it'll be a cold day in hell before the United States ever gets Universal Heath Care like the rest if the industrialized and civilized world. Mr. Olbermann said
I want Sens. Lincoln and Pryor to see what health care poverty is really like in Little Rock.
.

Mr. Clinton (who supports Sen. Lincoln) has stated that he will not go to the Clinic because Keith Olbermann has politicized the event. This is just plain ridiculous, that Mr. Clinton is complaining about a highly charged political subject being politicized. Health care is a major political issue, especially considering that we have so many people among our very own leaders who are fine that 48 million Americans go without Health Care. And this is why I hate Bill Clinton at all times he has to prove himself and so many other Democrats aren't Left leaning but extreme moderates to Right Wingers.

  1. I always hated that he got credit for huge economic growth when he had the luck of the internet boom while he was in office. The surplus wasn't from anything he did, it was from the surge in popularity of the internet as a medium for all things, including commerce and advertisement.

  2. Oh no the surplus was from him. He generated that surplus by cutting various social programs, the afformentioned "Work-Fare" being one of them. Its part of this whole big myth that Demorcats only increase the size of government, where Bill Clinton decreased the size of government, while Regan and Bush II increased the size of governemt more than any previous president. I think is popularity has a lot to do with his personabilty and thats it
