Bill Clinton, not so sure...

I voted for Clinton and feel that everyone believed that his presidency was good and dandy because the economy soared. Well the economy soared under him because he started the deregulation of the banking and the housing industry. Things were good and our homes were just worth so much more. Well 911 came and brought the economy down a bit but it bounced back because this deregulation was a monster in disguise. So yes there is a reason why Clinton was criticized.

Clinton also did the dry feet bill that Cubans in boats arriving to the shores would be deported if they were not on land. That to me was a very cruel act to these humans that risked their lives to get a better life in the waters of Atlantic.

Clinton also massacred people at Waco, Texas and that was the icing on the cake. I lost respect for him. How he handled that situation is how American handles their wars. They felt they were fighting a war and just killed all these innocent people. If we do that with our own we cannot expect us to do anything better with the rest of the world.

The NAFTA helped Mexico and Canada while it crippled the border states and islands in the Caribbean whose trade was completely diminished by the new trade with Mexico. Why? Because Mexicans would work for almost nothing.

You touched a nerve mentioninig the criticism of Clinton, which I believe was rightfully so. I did not judge him with the Monica issue because to me that was his business whether or not he wanted to perform oral sex in a closet under the desk or wherever. As far as I was concerned that would take off some stress and he would preside better, since his wife was not obviously satisfying him, which is another can of worms.

I am not saying that the Republicans did not take advantage of this deregulation because they did, but it was our boy Bill who put this monster in action and we all felt so so good about the growing economy until it burst in our face and the face of the world.
