"Helms Pleads to Keep Clinton Out of U.N."
CHARLOTTE, N.C - They may both be out of office, but Bill Clinton - remains the ultimate boogeyman for former Sen. Jesse Helms. In a fund-raising a letter for his senatorial library, Helms invokes the specter of the former president leading the United Nations after Kofi Annan retires next year.
"I'm sure you might agree that putting a left-wing, undisciplined and ethically challenged former President of the United States into a position of such power would be a tragic mistake," wrote the 83-year-old Republican, who left office in 2003 after five terms. >>>>>>
~ ~ ~ Bill Clinton balanced the budget mess he inherited from the Reagan- Bush administrations.
Bill tried to get the Insurance companies out of health care.
Mr. Clinton was the first US President not to overthrow every little western hemisphere country who did not tow the American business interests line.
And Bill Clinton is still much better respected in the Global community that any American President of the past generation. { And certainly better than the Dubuya Bush or his Dad]
Okay , so he lied about a personal matter of intimate relations.
A point that was so distantly tangential to the Whitewater investigation that it was simply a Ken Starr sham.
Bill Clinton did not lie about committing a criminal act , but simply a human act , one that people lie about -- in grossly huge numbers -- everyday.
[As a matter of fact it is often good etiquette to lie on this topic. I, for one, never liked folks who kiss and tell. ]
BUT I CHALLENGE anyone to produce a documented instance , that Bill Clinton ever lied to the American public in the matters of War & Peace , or even Jobs & Interest Rates.
Mr. Clinton on Foreign & Domestic Policy issues was the most forthcoming and honest President this nation ever had. That is not to say I agree with everything he said.
But at least when I came home at the end of the day to watch the news, I knew the President of the United States was shooting strait with me.
As opposed to the “Reagan – Bush I – BUSH II – Dick Chaney” team and their formalized policies of Dis-Information that they feed to the American Public and to the world each & every day.
Bill Clinton has got my vote UN Secretary General,, and I predict here today he will get that Job after Kofi Annon leaves. ~~
