Poll question: If You Could Ask President Clinton One Thing....
You're alone in a room with Bill Clinton. You have five minutes for him to reply to one question of yours. And he has to reply truthfully and honestly. No BS or spin.

What's your question?

(and assume that he'd actually tell you, since you're probably not going to ask him a question in real life anyway).

:)

10. That was not a 'flaw'
and it screwed up his entire presidency and so many things that needed doing, and could have been done ...if the time hadn't been wasted chasing skirts.

13. I suspect Clinton spent considerably less time "chasing skirts"
than the GOP did chasing and harassing him. Talk about wasting time and money!

9. I wouldn't ask about Monica
Edited on Mon Oct-27-03 09:56 PM by diplomats
because I know what he'd say. But I'd love to ask something about Hillary, or his true feelings about Bush, etc.

8. What were you thinking????
I mean, seriously! Your legacy was secure! Twenty-two million jobs! Unparallelled prosperity! Peace! You're probably the smartest man to hold the office--at least this century. You knew the Republicans were gunning for you. Hell, they've dogged you since before you took office, redoubling their efforts when they took Congress in '94. Why, oh why did you have to do it? More to the point, why did you deny it? I don't care about the 'under oath' bit--that wasn't germane and should never have even come up--but why did you deny it to us, your loyal constituents? You could have said, "though I think it's wholly inappropriate for the question to be asked in the first place, I have to tell you that I did, in fact, have an innapropriate sexual relationship with Mr. Lewinsky. For that, I am truly sorry and ask the forgiveness of you, the American people." A few weeks of furor and then it would have been over. We know that Newt and the boys weren't exactly clean themselves. Once that came out, they would've let it blow over (pardon the pun). You would have emerged a flawed but honest man, at the same time, denying them their ammunition.

Aw, hell. I forgive you. I still think history will treat you as a great, great man. I mean, seriously, next to this shitbag we have in office now, you should be beatified as a friggin' saint-in-waiting. Sorry for the rant, Mr. President. I just had to get that off my chest. No matter. We'll get 'em in '04...

36. ....
but why did you deny it to us, your loyal constituents?

I don't care, his job is not to be honest about his sex life, his job is to do his job which he was doing. No one gets fired Intell for having an affair.

38. Exactly
We didn't elect him to be the pope, we elected him to be the President. And at that he did a stellar job.

And would you please provide details to defend your record, which the right-wingers have fought so hard to destroy with disinformation.

15. The heck with Monica
I'd ask him:
"Bill, you know what's happening in the world, and in America, these days. What would you do if you were still president? More to the pont, what should we do, we who are not president, given the president we now have?"

for the way your self-indulgent, ego stroking, affair with a young intern, while the whole world was watching you, cost him a slam-dunk, walk-off victory in 2000?

21. Mena Airport: Did you cover for Bush? Is THAT why you got the WH?
Did you profit from it?

Did you cover it up for Bush?

Did you know Barry Seal?

Could you have had Bush I sent away???

Did you fail to do so because they had dirt on you about Mena.

Or was it just the pussy? Too much. Too good to blow the whistle on the guys who let you win?

Why did Clark's firm - The arkansan stevens group - finance Bush with saudi money and finance YOU later?

Why are you so cool yet so uncool.

Why did you do the welfare reform act which is now KILLING millions of people in poverty and utter despair?

32. Hehehe, that's a GOOD one...
I always thought Clinton incredably hot. :9 I even had some erotic dreams about him when he first became prez and one reaction I had when the scandal broke was feeling abit jealous of Monica. :argh:

You could get a bundle for it on Ebay, especially if it's Cuban. Even just the butt.

27. "Do you ever lose any sleep over the 800,000 dead Rwandans?"
The State Department under Clinton knew that the situation in East Africa was deteriorating rapidly and it did nothing to prevent the massacres. Neither did the rest of the world, but still...a couple of phone calls from the White House and 5000 UN peacekeepers would have airborne...

I voted for him twice and would much rather have him in the White House than *, but this was by far his greatest moral failing, not Monica...

I'd want to ask him if he had any regrets and what goals he has for the future.

Okay, so that's TWO questions. Sue me.

an incredibly attractive and powerful man, able to pick and choose who you were naughty with from a HUGE segment of the population. So why all the ugly trailer trash? JFK nailed Marilyn Monroe. You sort-of skirted around nailing MONICA?!?!?

39. "Which Dem has the best chance of beating * next year?"
As a master politician, perhaps the best ever, he would KNOW. I would immediately support that person, from now on, whomever it is.

Yeah, I know HE would have the best chance, but that is impossible for now.
