There are a few people in American politics whose name I hoped to never hear again. You can put Ken Starr near the top of that list. Starr is one of the most revolting figures the right wing has ever put in front of the American people. The disservice he did the country during his investigation, an investigation that cleared Bill and Hillary Clinton of any wrongdoing in relation to the Whitewater scandal, by asking the President, an adult human being, about his sex life still reverberates. He was the point man in an attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected President. These same people will now come after Obama, no matter how nice he plays with the right. They always have another Ken Starr waiting in the wings, full of righteous BS.

Reports are that Obama will offer Hilary Clinton the Secretary of State position after Thanksgiving. I'm on record as saying she would make an excellent pick. That said, it will become a circus unlike any other. The press loves some drama and they love to build it around the two people they seem to hate most, Bill and Hilary Clinton.
The press has gone as far as saying that the Clintons will set up a shadow government at the state department. There's no telling where this derangement comes from. It's as irrational as their love for George W. Bush in the 2000 campaign. None the less, it is what it is.
Since the press hasn't done their job where the Clintons are concerned, I think the following might surprise you: the Clintons were cleared of any wrong doing in the Whitewater case. Did you know that? As recently as 2002, the Washington Post for example, was still suggesting they did something wrong, even though a number of official investigations, by Republicans, could find nothing to charge them with. Not one, single, solitary charge.
We'll see more examples of this crap in the days and weeks to come. Just remember, it's all bull.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember Bill Clinton? He was President from 1993 - 2001. It wasn't as eventful as the current Presidency of course. There was no financial crisis. In fact, the economy did very well. There wasn't a never ending war. Clinton and his team believed in practicing diplmacy so such things were avoidable. There was a major terrorist attack in New York City, but instead of dropping bombs on anyone he could think of, he concentrated on catching the perps and bringing them to justice.
Sure, he had sexual relations with someone he shouldn't have, but, honestly, so what?
I miss that guy. Glad to see him in Georgia stumping for Jim Martin.
