I guess none of Bush's cronies were rich. There once was a poor boy

The "poor boy from Kennebunkport" was President, not a cronie. Good
grief!


Good grief! He was the poor boy from Kennebuckport who hired his
cronies.


Sort of reminds me of a poor boy from Arkansas who made trade policies
that caused almost an 11 fold increase in his old cronies's revenues
(Walmart $16B in 1992, $165B in 2000)
His wife was on the board while he was governor.
Talk about cronies.


Did he hire his cronies to run departments? Are you going to blame Clinton
for everything that's wrong with the country?

Did he needlessly torture people? Did he start a war of choice? Did he
give
big business unfettered ability to pollute the environment? Did he
eviscerate women's and minority's rights here and abroad?

I'm a Clinton fan but he ****ed up pushing us toward globalism. It
undercut our flagging manufacturing base and hastened the offshore
move of many industries.

Oh well, it was nice having a middle class while it lasted.


I don't think we can go back, but you're probably right that he pushed it
too hard.
