"Cleared" because the Democrats in Congress put their party over the law.
Clinton was lucky enough to be in office during the Internet boom. While you were enjoying those 8 years, Clinton was making big blunder like supplying North Korea (of all countries ) nuclear material for "energy" purposes and had built (at our cost) two nuclear plants. N. Korea, of course, uses the material to build nuclear weapons. Clinton also changed the way the CIA could obtain info. They could no longer receive info from informants with a felony record. This caused many experienced CIA agents to retire and the country ended up being less secure. Yeah, what a "great" 8 years.

21 million jobs.yes. Its always the economy , stupid should be every elections mantra. I'd settle for 1/2 that rate from any president from now on. He was a DLC guy, which is the pro business wing of the party, hence regulations were not his mantra. Jobs were.

Explain how Clinton, other than being president at the time, gets credit for "creating" 21 million jobs? He did pass a big tax hike which hurt many small businesses. The fact is that the '90s economy was good in spite of Clinton, not because of him.

I figured liberal freaks were simply hypocritical misogynists. I never thought it could have been petty jealously.

Last time I checked my post, I was ridiculing liberals for demeaning Sarah Palin. If you want to place yourself or 3~Shepherds that same infantile category as the liberal freaks, that is your choice.
qualityguy..........think you've become somewhat confusing on this thread

Do I have a choice here..........I can speak for myself and I'm not a liberal.

She's making more than the President, why bother to run, turned her back on her supporters, her true colors came out, we already knew it, her followers just didn't believe.
I'm not a follower as you call it. She didn't let people down if you had kept up with the polls most of her supporters where glad. They like her but they are smart enough to know she's to polarizing at this time and she is probably "polishing" up to run in 2016, if she feels the country isn't turning around.

Must remember she's a girl that knows how to "Retreat and Reload", that scares the left, they have no ammo!!!

More 'scare the left' nonsense. She was the Democrat's dream date for 2012, period. No if's and's or but's. All that 'scared' crap is teabagger's whistling in the graveyard.

What were the chances of Nixon ever coming back after he quit? Zero. Zilch. What are Palin's chances in 2016? Worse than Nixon's. He only quit once. This makes 3 times for Pailin.

She can't turn around a car in a 2 acre parking lot. This country is ready and willing to elect a woman as President, but that lady won't be Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton. Neither wants the job now.

you are right on except the comment about Palin not being able to turn a car around could have been left out. Statements like that are unnecessary and very childish. I would expect that from a 5th grader.

I'd say Hillary still wants the spot just as bad as Sarah might. I never said I wanted her for President, but I wouldn't be out there dissing her if she wanted to give it a try.

If the lady can load a gun, she can turn the car around, that's if President Obama will let's her sit up front. I heard he doesn't even own his own car so who do you think has more driving experience. Takes more to get around in the country, than in the city, with your own chauffeur.

By the way does the left get scared of the mention of Palin, now that's news..............
