In reply to the discussion: I miss Bill Clinton -- but Chris Wallace DOESN'T [View all]panfluteman
(2,193 posts)Boy, Fox News sure could use some more refuters like Bill Clinton! He sure doesn't mince his words, he tells it like it is, he shoots straight from the hip. Obama has a different style with Fox - more subtle and diplomatic - he's too much of a nice guy, and you gotta be straight and in your face with the hooligans at Fox. And you gotta remember that if you're too subtle and refined with your refutations, you won't get past all the brainwashing that Fox viewers have already undergone, and will be seen as weak, or as merely an effete, elitist liberal intellectual.
Sure as heck, I don't agree with everything that Clinton did - especially NAFTA and his various "free trade" deals. He was definitely a Wall Street Democrat, and now it's time for main street to have its say. That's why I'm sincerely hoping that we have a good, populist alternative to Hillary, like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, running in this upcoming presidential election. But in spite of it all, most of Clinton's basic performance stats were impressive, such as reducing unemployment and lowering the deficit, you gotta admit.
