like the big dog. Love him!!!

Now if all of our Democratic representatives would do the same, perhaps we could educate the public in the truth.

but then again, there is a certain segment of our population who just has no interest in a truth that doesn't match their world view.

very sad. we could be such an outstanding example of what a nation could be were it not for those who spend their lives making sure it will never be.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]After all they did and tried to do to destroy him, he never gave up, never quit, and came back stronger than ever.

And his true successor finished the job and did get Bin Laden!

I'd just love to be a fly on the wall of a private room when President Obama, President Clinton, Vice President Biden, and Secretary of State Clinton are alone together.

make him look bad. The interview was to suppose to have been about Clinton's Global Initiative, instead Faux news and Chris Wallace started asking questions about security issues thinking Clinton to catch him unprepared for this topic; and then use the clipping from the interview in their propaganda. They underestimated Clinton.

I remember how hard he tried to intervene in the former Yugoslavia (?) but he couldn't get European cooperation until the UN troops were grossed out by the very Nazi-like mass murders of Muslim men. Years, it took, and Europe just fine with it. Then one day they'd had enough and Clinton was able to go in with allies.

Clinton is the coolest man to ever walk the earth!!! That was brutal! "You can smirk and think your clever" hahaha I was rolling on the floor. I wish Obama would be this aggressive at the next debate. I think it would shock everyone and make all the news anchors heads explode. Oh well, a girl can wish. I still love Obama also. Clinton and Obama are just some of the coolest people to ever walk the earth ever! <3

All my local papers are portrying biden as a bully and disrespectfull (Me, I loved it. I thought biden did the right thing) But it seems the conservatives have continually gotton the last word.

Clinton - still one of my favorites of the US president - followed by, JFK and Obama, with FDR in the front... And even though it is a old clip by now, it is still nice to se where Clinton give the "Fox news" what become of them..

The right in the US still HATE Clinton, for they was not able to trow him to the lions - even after the Lewinsky affair.. He IS one of the greatest president in US modern time, and will be remembered as such even 100 year from now.. The right in the US can try to tell other vice, but compared to the Scrub, he was a titan... With human errors that be..

But I was not happy with Comm. Act legislation, and Trade deals which are coming back to bite us. But he is still a fighter for "we the people". And that is a good thing. I think I was thinking of firing up a few people at the same time too. But its a first see for me. Awsome.

At least he did something - better than mess the economy so much, that it will take years, maybe decades to repair it, and to turn the world into economical disaster who it will take years and years and years to repair..

Last time we was in the same situation, it took WW2 to kick start the economy - in the US and in the rest of the world... At the price of 50 to 100 millions dead - and a devastated Europe - and most of the rest of the world in turbulence... And two nuclear weapons detonated over two japanese City's...

What will happen, if the economy have to be restarted by a world war 3...

I also remember fake news potraying clinton as "losing his temper as chris wallace dressed down the former president.." I remember fake news giving chris wallace high fives for his performance.
It's the same method of defense---IF WE CAN'T BULLY YOU, THEN YOU'RE A BAD PERSON... IF YOU WON'T LET US INTERRUPT YOU, OVERTALK YOU, LET US TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PAUSES TO CUT YOU OFF WITH AN ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT, THEN YOU ARE DISRESPECTFULL. This tactic is an old talk radio tatic used by limbaugh, neil borts, kenny hamlin, and others. Now they pay callers to do it.

Bill Clinton was right. Terrorism wasn't a priority under the Bush administration. They were dismissive of Richard Clarke's claims and warnings. Then after we got hit on 9/11, Condi Rice, who was NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR, was then promoted, PROMOTED to Secretary of State.

She should have been honorable and resigned. And resigned in shame, the worthless *unt she is!!!

Richard Clarke is an American hero with an outstanding legacy of service to our nation.

32. From the 9/11 Commission Report
Sun Oct 14, 2012, 04:01 PM
Oct 2012

"On the day of the meeting (September 4, 2001), Clarke sent Rice an impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counter terrorism efforts past and present. The 'real question' before the principals, he wrote, was 'are we serious about dealing with the al Qida threat? .. Is al Qida a big deal? Decision makers should imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeed in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the US," Clarke wrote. 'What would those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future day could happen at any time."

No link available, quoted from book Clinton references in video, "Against All Enemies" by Richard A. Clarke.

Richard Clarke to me is one of the United States true heroes. I went to his book signings here, after he was fired by the Bush* administration for publicly refusing to "be a company man" on the outrageous public policies Bush* was spoon feeding to the American people. And what was his reward for being a man patriotic enough to speak truth to power? He was fired from his job and told he would never work in Washington again.

It was my distinct pleasure to attend his book signing to and actually get to meet him and talk to him.

Everything Clinton says is this video is spot on, and kudos to Clinton for trying. And thank you, Richard Clarke for the book lying in my lap as I type this post; it is a classic that will be handed down historically so future Americans can be told the truth about what actually happened that made this Country so vulnerable to the 9/11 attacks.

This book, "Against All Enemies" now lying on my lap is one of my true treasures.
