Some of those decisions that are being made are not for the greater good but for the good of the politicians.  How can you trust people who are trying their darnedest to give away everything a person has worked hard for all of their lives?  How can you trust a government who you can't disagree with or you're told you're being racist and a trouble maker?  How can you trust a government who tries to rush a bill through that no one has read which might contain something detrimental to anyone over 50 as well as those who might become seriously ill?  How can you trust a government who won't be up front about things and controls the press in such a way that it is reported only 200 or 300 showed up at a rally when in all actuality over 5000 showed up and there are now photos on youtube, thanks to cell phones, to dispute the reports?  No, I won't go get the links I already done the research and it's up to you to do some ground work and quit trusting all you hear. ACORN rallies are organized not whats going on now.  These are ordinary concerned citizens who are tired of being jerked around not people who are paid and transported to these meetings.  The government is doing its best to discredit anyone who questions or disagrees and that is not right any way you look at it.

Save that sanctimonious, self righteousness for someone that is as delusional as yourself will yah. If you are so concerned over the political skulduggery where was this negativity when the Chimp was dipping into our wallets to fund his personal crusade for oil?

More sour grapes in a bullshit sauce. . . :rolleyes:

Uh-oh. Refusing to provide sources only makes us believe you don't have any. Bad strategy.

But you've got to admit, that whole "wiser than thou" routine is freakin' hysterical!

Rigggght. . . I don't know about you but I certainly am "salivating" to run into a dangerous and volatile situation, and fly thousands of miles to do it, just to get my face on the television. . . :rolleyes:

There was absolutely no danger to him, maybe his pilot or some of his party, but not him. He is a grandstander and a skank. NK leaders knew if they got someone in the public eye to come over and say pretty please let those women go they would look oh so compasionate and Mr Clinton was more than happy to go.

Oh please, don't try and tell me he was afraid or reluctant to go. He will do anything except put himself in jeopardy to make the news. He was all too happy to go to be "in the news" again having people tell him how wonderful he is. I repeat, he is a skank.

Is it any wonder the art of diplomacy is lost to us?

Not all of us; only those whose mental capacity is too limited to consider a rational response to conflict.

He got them out, did he make the deal with NK? No, he was just an errand boy, my point is that he just went to be in the game again. I still think he is a skank and only interested in himself and what he can get out of any given situation.

Hey I am no Bill Clinton supporter; ask around here. . . But, the man did something I found admirable and maybe even out of character as far as my perceptions of him go. Not to mention good. . . no! Damned good. I may not like him but I will acknowledge good no matter who does it, and if it ended up giving him some positive face time and allowed him to feel useful again, who can blame anyone for taking advantage of it?

The end result far outweighs any negativity that may or may not have been going on behind the scenes. He is not the POTUS anymore and in fact can never be POTUS again. That he can still positively contribute to society and our government is only right, and that he chooses to do so admirable. (Didn't see peanut boy or the shrubs anywhere did you?)

I agree, palehorse. In fact, I get the feeling that some on here would rather the two women were still in NK custody, rather than be happy that Mr. Clinton escorted them home. Ahem... may I suggest trying on a sense of proportion?

What am I missing here? Neither of these two videos seem to have anything to do with the two journalists who were held in North Korea.
