(24,544 posts)"remind" us what happened during Bill Clinton's presidency as if we weren't there.
We were. We know about Vince Foster. And Monica. And Whitewater. And the disgusting attacks on Hillary from the right. And we were pissed then. We also know alot less about the attacks on Bill from the left and that's probably because they were not nearly as personal, as vile, as disgusting as the stuff we see now. From what I understand, Bill found his attackers on the left only moderately more palatable than his attackers on the right and he certainly had little love for his leftist critics.
But I am willing to bet everything I have in my pocket right now that Obama probably finds his critics on both sides equally exhausting. Considering how similar the attacks are in message and overheated foolishness often based on mistruths are from both sides, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if he saw very little daylight between his critics on the left and right. And THAT'S the real issue here for a lot of us.
