On the Lighter Side

The heaviness of being at war. Clintonite thoughts. Falwell fallout. Sleepy little people. Ex-Jimmy. Plus more.

(Page 2 of 9)

Canoist Without a Paddle : /p>

"He was the worst president of the Twentieth Century."

I'd certainly phrase it differently, at the least.

Carter may well have done the worst job as President in the 20th century, but IMHO [in my humble opinion] no President ever came close to doing the damage to the country that Clinton did. That includes Carter awarding the Panama Canal indirectly to Communist China's control.

Clinton advanced the nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology of Communist China by 25 years. They are our most direct military threat and one that not only intends to be, but intends to become an even greater threat by the day. Perhaps only Truman had a like opportunity [with the Soviets], but didn't do so. No earlier President could have multiplied the risk to America as Clinton did.

I believe we may be 30 years, and possibly a Sino-American war (I won't go into the many possible variations on that theme here), before we undo or get beyond Clinton's shadow.
