Hey everybody, it's Bill Clinton's birthday
He's 65 today. Happy birthday, Bill! And thanks for sending all our jobs to Mexico and China. It's worked out great.

I'd take 4 more years of Bill Clinton over Obama, Bush or any of the jokers running for president right now. The country was a hell of a lot better off when he was in the White House.

There was no deficit under Clinton. And Wall St. and the banks were not getting away with crime after crime and then getting bailed out.

Clinton passed Gramm-Leach-Bailey (repealed Glass-Steagall). Arguably the biggest contributor to the financial crisis.

And his Chinese friends are forever grateful for his approving the sale of ballistic missile guidance technology for their weather satellites.

Lucas - Maybe you're not old enough to remember, but Bill Clinton bombed Iraq seemingly every other day.
And shot $2 million missiles into $2 Afghanistan tents in a failed bid to stop Al Qaida.

Clinton and NATO dropped plenty of bombs on Yugoslavia. And it's probably a good thing they did.

"There was no deficit under Clinton"
This is not an accurate statement of fact.

"There was no deficit under Clinton" This is not an accurate statement of fact.
The country ran a budget surplus during the last several years of the Clinton administration. Beats the trillion dollar deficits under Obama and Bush.

Beats having thousands of Americans die in two stupid wars that I can't for the life of me figure out why we are still there.

The Bush administration turned a blind eye to all of the shenanigans that the financial industry was up to. Most Americans knew something wasn't right when their minimum wage neighbors qualified for mortgages and used them to buy mini-mansions.
