(32,324 posts)Bill Clinton was the last "stealth President" who could say one thing and do another.
Many of us liked Bill as we didn't realize at all what was really going on... How could we realize that?
The internet was up and running, but it had nowhere near the effect it has today. So for isntance, when Bill Clinton went and signed off on the Banking Reform and Modernization Act, allowing Congress to legislate away the middle class protections of Glass Steagal, most of us did not even realize the significance of that signature.
But when George W or Obama did something, their every move has been scrutinized due to all the internet websites that bring us more real news in a day than we had circa 1990 to 2001 in a month..
Which has allowed many of us to realize how often the moves and plays of our "elected officials" are really nothing more than the moves and plays a person would expect from a Corporate- Sponsored system of candidates.
I don't like most politicians who have Presidential aspirations and who have managed to get to a higher level for the same reason I don't like 95+ of all those hang dog Corporate-sponsored whores (of both sexes) that call themselves Congress critters.
