    Just a reminder

    Perhaps this has all been part of some 'fantastic plan' that will benefit this country; as in a Twilight Zone episode.

    Weather President Clinton was honest (or not), or weather or not "fair trade" agreements, welfare, mortgage loans etc...... were/are part of why we are where we are at,

    ...the preoccupation of a blue dress seemed to be blinding.

    A technicality: "lying under oath" about a private matter (sex) was cause for impeachment.

    Who would have listened to him about ANYTHING at that time?

    Our current President was RE-elected(!)

    Question:

    Have we learned anything from the the previous four (4)presidential elections?
