Oh yeah .. because it took Bush's superior leadership skills to figure out that the 9/11 attacks were al Quaeda and that al Quaeda was in Afghanistan and that we should probably attack there.

And .. gee whiz .. let's also think about the fact that if Gore had been in office, he would have continued with the same level of priority on anti-terrorism as Clinton did - instead of focusing on missle defense and Iraq, and there's a very good chance that we would have thwarted al Quaeda before they had a chance to attack.

But yeah .. it was much better to have a president who spent most of the summer on vacation in Texas when all the chatter was up.

The country was in excellent condition when Clinton was President, and he was the greatest of our time.

The condition now? Not so great.

HINT HINT IT'S BECAUSE BUSH IS PRESIDENT.

...or not.

Clinton = Rode the success of the two previous Presidents and the bubble. He was just lucky enough not to be in office when it burst.

A lucky President is better than a bad one.

I think I'm going to go slam my nuts in a car door now.

Have fun. :clap:

That's the scary part. If Gore went the way of Clinton went with terrorism, we'd be in a lot worse shape. Clinton had many of chances to get Osama's head. In fact, there was a report where some military guys were ready to nail Osama Bin Laden with a missle and all they needed to do was to get Clinton's approval for the attack. It never came though, he was too busy playing golf.

Also, Clinton had this weird of habit of bailing out when the going got tough. Mogadishu, remember that? We lost 19 American soldiers and instead of finishing the job there we turned tail and ran. It's reasons like this that the Fundamentalists see us as weak. Thanks, but no thanks.

I really like Al Gore..and I do wish he had shown some of that spark when he was running. He was intelligent anyway, and for some odd reason that was seen as being annoying..oh well.

I guess those that voted thought we should have someone like Bush, because he'd be better to have a barbeque with. Me, I'd take the brainy guy over that anytime!

:smirk:

Bush Sr. served one term. The people decided they wanted someone else. In steps Clinton and thus starts the eight year party.

The problem with Clinton is that I had such a good time those eight years... earning well, money wasn't spread so thin, no major hostilities with any countries, enjoying the expanding internet global growth... now things aren't as good and I'm bummed. I'm speaking of my own situation at the time as compared to now.

Huh?! No international problems?! Clinton lobbed missles at Iraq to get Monica off the headlines and we bombed the living daylights out of Serbia! Don't forget Mogadishu either! C'mon!
