    GW has Balls

    Bill Clinton was a far superior president to GWB. Clinton is very intelligent and a free thinker. Bush is a programed dunce. He came into office with an agenda supplied by others. In naming his "evil empires", he effectively declared war on a host of countries many of whom were not a threat to us. The search for Bin Ladin was and continues to be a ruse for our wars. We have lost credibility around the world (a world which Bush new little about). Clinton, despite his, brief affair was a credible negotiator with a strong supportive V.P. in Al Gore. Clinton knew the world. Bush admitted he didn't know the world and then went on to prove it. GWB should have paid more attention to GHWB.

    I hope no one tells Bush that China may be a threat. I always wanted to be President. Now I know one who is less qualified.

    than I. I pray that the Democrats win both houses in a landslide so that we may sleep and wake in peace.

    Source(s): I am a Progressive voter who usually votes Democratic. However, I have voted for Javits for Senator and John B. Anderson for the house and for an obviously best canditate not of my party. My two incumbant Republican Senators in my retirement home, Mississippi, will never get my vote. One is a disgrace for his thoughless remark about Strom Thurmond and the other is drawing a check for sitting in his seat.

    Bush

    Reasons:

    The unemployment rate is lower than when Bill Clinton was in office.

    Prescription coverage for seniors.

    Bush didn't IGNORE Bin Laden/Al Qaeda like Clinton did numerous times like the first bombing of the WTC.

    Bush has a better first lady.

    Lower taxes now.

    Finally did something about Saddam.

    He's not phony.

    I could have dinner with him and not worry about being raped.

    I'm a Texan, he's a Texan.

    Even though oil/gas prices are higher, they're still right in line considering inflation...I mean, come on! EVERYTHING has gone up over the decades, why not gasoline?

    Georg Bush Vs. Clinton

    If I would go a big party with Clinton then it it maybe Clinton.

    If I would go meeting protecting the big party.. Bush

    What is more important ant to our lives in America. The partying, sex scandals or our protection?

    Did anybody see the 911 commission report? History of Bin Laden? Pres Bush is trying get peace in a region that wasn't peaceful in years, decades in Iraq. The leaders in Iran doesn't approve they want the territory. There president hates America not just Bush or Clinton....just U.S. Citizens.

    Agreed with fifthcircle and damond, Bush is by using far a more beneficial moral and upstanding President than Clinton ought to ever were. study slightly about Arkansas guidelines the ol' Billy instituted even as he changed into governor, like accomplice Flag Day... that's the Saturday before Easter. If shall we've Bush yet another 4 years human beings ought to make certain what he has performed to fix the screwed monetary gadget that Billy boy left us conserving. Clinton ought to were in Iraq his 2d 365 days, yet he has no nads. are you able to are saying ENRON?

    Clinton lowered national debt

    Bush got us into a HUGE debt

    Clinton worked with NATO and other allies to democratically help out the ethnic Albanians that were put in concentration camps by the Serbians in Kosovo

    Bush unilaterally invaded Iraq after France said that it would veto any UN resolution to attack Iraq. The war is still going on and resulted in the complete turmoil of the country, which may result in an unwinnable situation.

    Clinton successfully created peace in the Middle east in1993 with the official declaration called the Oslo Accords. It lasted until the very end of his presidency in 2000 with the rising of the second intifada.

    Bush had no success in dealing with Mid-east peace and has been widely recognized by the palestinians as pro-israel and biased.

    Clinton got caught with his pants down.

    Bush got caught in a lie that lost the respect of the entire world and the lives of thousands.

    I'm gonna go with Clinton.

    I sit here and read all these answers to this question. To most, I say, Thank-you for relizing what has happened. To those few others, May God be with you and lead you to Salvation.

    A few say that now the unemployment rate is at its lowest. HA !! Wake up people, of course it is, cause all these jobs that our troops had WHEN they was home, are now able to be filled TEMPORARILY until the Troops come home, If they ever do. At that time, there will be another President, Thank God for miracles, and the unemployment rate goes back up.....duh !!

    One said that Clinton started this by not doing anything about it when he was there. What did you want him to do ? Everything was peachy and it wasnt till 2001 when Bin Ladin started his crap !! If you pull your head out of your azz, you will see that the Iraqis stated that the attacks were made due to statements made by GW Bush. They would have never attacked if Clinton was still there.

    Some say that Clinton only used funds from other accounts to lower the US debt. SO !! At least he was doing something about it. Who cares where the money came from. He was doing his job and doing it in a matter to not financially affect us American citizens. Go Clinton !! YAY !!

    Someone said something about gasoline prices......How ignorant are you ? Yes there is cost of inflation no doubt but, My income hasnt tripled and niether has the minimum wage law, like the price of gas has so, as for your theory about Bush raising the cost of gasoline withstands the rising cost of everything else, isnt crap !!

    Another person mentioned something about taxes. Well I tell you right now, When Clinton was in office, I had 3 children living at home with me. I was sent a check in the middle of the year for a little over $600. It was told to me that it was an extra tax cut that the IRS was giving to families of dependant children. Bush now on his second term and I havent seen anything like that yet !! I think that relates a couple paragraphs back about Clinton using money from other accounts to help pay US debt. The only account Bush ever took a cut in and that was in the American citizens personnal bank accounts.

    What is this that I seen there about Bush comming up with this plan for the older folks having a Prescription Drug Plan ? What the hell is that ? My parents, one retired and the other disabled from work related injuries, and are very much struglling and at many times let their prescriptions go cause they can not afford the deductible anymore and they never had the problem when Clinton was there so, Another statement of BULLSHET !!

    I am sorry Lady that you want to admit over the intenet that you are form the same state as Bush...........texas.....lived there 10 years myself and all I ever seen there was a state full of crooks, cheaters, dope users and Alcoholics........Hmmm, sounds like Bush doesn't it ? By the way, hope you have a set of horns on your head cause, Bush doesn't !!

    So Clinton got his pedar sucked on.......who cares ? I am sure there has been other Presidents there they has been laid while in office. Besides, isnt that the business of Bill & Hiliary Clinton and Monica Lowenski and not ours as American citizens ? Did they put it on the news the last time you got your pedar sucked on by someone other than your wife ? As far as Bill lieing to the press about it, I would rather hear him lie about that rather than lie about something that will affect the lives of my family like Bush has !!

    I think I have said enough now. Actions speak loader than words and everyone can see what is going on here in our White House today and if they cant, then what kinda person are they anyway. As for the people they answer this question as Bush........rethink your answer and get better facts next time. Broaden your thoughts and see what is really going on. Look at the situations from both points of view.

    As for my direct answer to this question..........I dont think I need to tell ya !!

    Thanks for the 2 pts.........hope to get 10 more but, Bush probably needs them more !! LOL

    Bill Clinton. yeah, so he messed up so what. but in other leader's eyes as well as mine he knew what to say, at the right time, had a charm and charisma that neither Bushes have nor will have and was a good diplomat. he knew what kind of comments to make and yet sounded intelligent vs. our current Pres. who is trying too over the top.Clinton knew how to sell his ideas and persuade others and even today many leaders from around the world would still go with Clinton.

    There is no contest. Bill Clinton may have never been a soldier, but he has a mind and was our Commander. He brought this country to its highest point. G W Bush has brought this country to the other extreme. When he was reelected, the whole world asked the question, "How can so many Americans be so stupid?"

    Why are we subjected to this inane crap of "Who was a better president" question on a continuing basis.

    Liberals will say that Bush is a nut job wacko and the Clinton was the greatest ever....

    Conservatives will say that Clinton is a lying, cheating whore chasing sleaze bag and Bush has been a great president.

    Please.... put some thought into your questions.....

    Added

    So for all of you idiots that don't remember history....

    Clinton's approval rating dropped below 30%

    Clinton sent troops to the Balkans and Somalia... both with out congressional approval.

    Clinton didn't save the economy... Reagan did clinton enjoyed the econimical wave.

    Clinton balanced the budget by shifting numbers... not by underspending, and there was no budget surplus.

    Clinton used the same wire tap program Bush is using today.

    The unemplyment rate was higher under the majority of Clinton's administration than under Bush.

    Inflation was higher under Clinton than Bush.

    It's amazing what you'll ignore.....
