What kind of a name is that for a US president??
I mean the word "Bomb" is clearly in the name. And his middle name??? Give me a break.

(chuckles) well, I think I'm more bothered that his policy views are left of Hillary and that says volumes right there.

But I'm not worried he will win the nomination, Bill and Hill have lots of experience dealing with people who get in their way.

Two awful names, Hussein, like Saddam Hussein, and Obama, as in obama bin lauden.
He will never be president, the connotation is too awful. It'd be like electing someone named Hitler Pol Pot Mao-Tse-Stalin .

Bill Clinton had the highest approval rating of any president upon leaving office. The American people recognize peace, a robust economy, and a budget surplus when they see it. Oh, yeah, and the crime rate went down and so did the abortion rate.

How sad it is that the candidates name is a reason to not vote for them. Who cares about the issues when we can pay attention to what is important: his name is one letter away from "osama".

And was I talking about Bill's Presidency? Glad you think it was great. I was talking about Bill and Hillary's ability to deal with people who get in the way of their ambitions.

If you can elect two presidents with the name "Bush" and still refrain from cackling, I don't think this presents much of a problem.

What do you mean by B & H's "ability to deal with people who get in the way of their ambitions"? Are you implying an ethical or legal transgression on their part? Please give examples.

I never liked Woodrow Wilson, which is why I never voted for Ronald WILSON Reagan. 🙂

The right wingers have lots of conspiracy theories about the Clintons' power over the media.

I really admire the Clinton's "control" of the media. I mean the media really left them alone during the Monica Lewinsky affair. I'm glad that the late-night talk shows didn't make any Bill Clinton jokes. Yep, you gotta admire the way Billo and Hill controlled the media.

Yeah but they were laughing with Bubba not at him, the way they do with the morally justified and innately superior right.

Whats worse than that is the presidential winner is usually decided on looks alone.

Height, specifically. Some ridiculous percentage - like 95% or more - of Presidents were taller than their competitor.
