Bush: The years have done a lot to clarify the strengths of this man. As a candidate for any office, whether it be the state attorney general or the president, Bill Clinton showed incredible energy and great personal appeal.As chief executive, he showed a deep and far- ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president.

Bill Clinton could always see a better day ahead and Americans knew he was working hard to bring that day closer.

Over eight years it was clear that Bill Clinton loved the job of the presidency.He filled this house with energy and joy.He's a man of enthusiasm and warmth, who could make a compelling case and effectively advance the causes that drew him to public service.

People saw those gifts very early in Bill Clinton.He's remembered in Hope, Arkansas, and other places along the way as an eager, good-hearted boy who seemed destined for big things.

Umm! most popular is a bit of a stretch.

FDR was way more popular, in fact if you do a little bit of internet research you will find

FDR
Truman
Eisenhower
Kennedy

were all more popular than Clinton.

The Sienna tracking study actually shows Clinton about the same as Reagan for their first poll.

It seems that Bush, like Kerry, have a huge percentage of their parties vote wrapped up no matter what they do. Maybe Bush is going for the moderate swing area?

Well manuka... I wouldn't call the early 60's the late 20th century, but you can. As far as Reagan goes, I've got some bad news for you.

Of course he's moderate. Bush is a radical right wing moderate extremist. Kerry is a pinko commie coastal hippie freak. GOOOO NADER!

THE best type of insult, is to insult someone, all the while they have no idea that they are being insulted.

Keep this in mind while you re-read that speech.

If I was Clinton, I would taken him back into the "Monica room" and decked him.

Maybe something WE should adopt?

BUSH OUTCLASSES THE LEFT

Yesterday, in a ceremony at The White House, the portraits of Bill and Hillary Clinton were unveiled at The White House. In attendance were former President Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton, along with several administration officials. Basically, it was a big reunion, though Monica Lewinsky was not invited.

President Bush spoke at the event, praising President Clinton's "energy and joy." He also said "Over eight years, it was clear Bill Clinton loved the job of the presidency. He filled this house with energy and joy." In other words, it was a completely non-political, positive event to honor the hanging of the official presidential portrait.

Now, understand the setting: here you have George Bush, who ran for office against the Clinton administration promising to restore honor to the White House. These are ideological opposites. Yet, Republican President George Bush can set all of that aside and out of respect for the office of the presidency, have this ceremony.

Contrast that with the remarks awhile back of Al Gore, who called on Bush's entire cabinet to resign, and who has accused the president of being a liar and misleading the nation, among other things. The left loves to demonize Republicans for being hateful, but it sure looks like the other way around these days.

This is the new face of politics. The Democrats are the new party of shrill, intolerant, uptight whiners, and there's George Bush praising political rival Clinton while smiling, joking and having a good time.

Now you tell me just who is mean-spirited?

CBS Touts Dem Takeover of House Seat,
But Silent After GOP Win


On Tuesday, the day of the election in California's 50th Congressional District to replace imprisoned Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the CBS Evening News ran a story touting a potential Democratic takeover of the seat as reporter Jerry Bowen described the race "as a referendum on both the Republican Congress and the Republican President, whose popularity is sinking." But after the Republican won, the newscast was silent about it Wednesday night.
