Abuse of Power
Bill Clinton shows up in New York for a photo op just because he can. This man has no moral sensibility.

are you people as dumb as your posts read....

Clinton is nothing but a civilian, he is nothing. He has no right to be there. What is he going to do?

clinton has no right to be there? is he not a citizien of the U.S.?

It's sad how patriotism in the weak minded is tied to the political affiliation of those who hold office. **BORING**

Actually he had an obligation to be absent from this scene. He failed.

He was just there to show his support as a former President.

Ice Tea, since you don't know me, you obviously do not realize the sarcasm with which my post was intended. I would say something about how idiotic some young posters can sound on TT at times, but I'll hold my tongue this time. Yes, Clinton is a citizen, but he is also a former president.

After seeing Clinton on the news tonight, I happen to agree with bacpac. Clinton was looking for a photo op. He may have also been attempting to show his support for everything that was being done in the aftermath of Tuesday's tragedy.

Ice, Clinton is nothing but a civilian? How many people do you see that is protected by armed secret service men/women for the rest of their life? He knows more secrets of the U.S than a lot of people. He was there to show his support to the American people.

RE: Abuse of Power
Bush Sr. spoke to people (I believe in Boston) about terrorism yesterday, nobody is accusing him of a photo op. However, I believe Bill had alterior motives with his appearance.

RE: Abuse of Power
This pains me to say, but I have to given Bill and Hillary credit for supporting the President. I didn?t see his actions as a photo op, but a chance to rally support and unite America.

RE: Abuse of Power
Decorum and respect has always been extended to the sitting President by past Presidents.

Decorum calls for past Presidents to stand down unless asked by the sitting President. It is a matter of courtesy and dignity.

RE: Abuse of Power
Are you certain he was in New York? I am just now reading where he has been in Brisbane, Australia, had planned to travel to Taiwan but cancelled and is now awaiting a chance to return to the US. Let's get our facts straight

RE: Abuse of Power
I saw him on TV shaking hands and kissing babies with a big goofy grin on his face. He was just so happy to be in front of a camera again. I appreciate the way W doesn't seem to feel like he has to be on camera every 5 minutes. The media shmucks don't seem to realize that his time is better spent with the planners than the media. It's been 8 years since a President felt that way. I guess that's why they're confused.

My post really was a typo, I would never say something like that to someone's face, much less put it in print on a web page, I didn't even notice it, my wife told me about it the second I hit "enter".

If you're pissed about it, I understand. I probably would be pissed too.

However, if you send me another e-mail like the one you sent me, you won't have to wait to catch me on a trail, I'll come find you.

RE: Abuse of Power
Clinton has the same right and duty to be there as Ford, Carter, and Bush senior. All of them were at the memorial service to show their solidarity and demonstrate that now is not the time for partisan bickering.

Obviously bacpac did not get the message.

Gordon,

Ford, Carter, and Bush Sr. did not show up at ground zero. Only the Zero did.

...and another thing.

I heard from a credible source that Bill Clinton knew where Bin Laden was, but would not authorize his capture.

Anyone else heard this?

From media reports I've seen on tv, Clinton was in Australia and G.W. requested he return to the US.

RE: Abuse of Power
Boys, Boys, Boys, for Pete's sake already!!! There are almost 5,000 people missing as a result of Tuesday's tragedy! Who gives a flying fock if Clinton was there for a photo op? Get over it!

On a more positive note, I have seen reports that the Uncle Ben's Rice bus has been stationed at ground zero for several days providing free, hot meals to rescue workers. Uncle Ben's is part of Mars, Inc. the company I work for..

I am proud we have a presence there and can help out the rescuers..even if it is just serving hot food.

Well, I think Uncle Willie certainly has a lot of gall! I heard him say on Thursday nite after returning to the US that we need to build up our military. And that after him breaking it down for 8 years!
