Anyways, I just thought it was ironic that a man so despised and so scapegoated by the Republicans (Bill Clinton--duh) is someone King George would be willing to run to for help. Here's a clip from the above linked article at the very righty Newsmax.com:
On their recent trip to Rome to attend the funeral for Pope John Paul II, President Bush had his father, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton sit in on his CIA and intelligence briefings.
"It was really a lot of fun," Bush II told reporters. "These CIA briefings a lot of time prompt policy discussions. It's interesting to get their points of view about their experiences in particular countries."
The Washington Times reports that Bush II even praised Clinton for his approach to some policy issues, especially his ideas for reforming Social Security รข€“ which includes allowing Americans to put a portion of their contributions into personal investment accounts, an idea most congressional Democrats are dead-set against.
"I was telling President Clinton I remember watching one of his town hall meetings in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on this very subject," Bush said, according to the Times. "And I thought it was a very impressive presentation. By the way, a lot of the language happens to be pretty close to some of the town hall meetings we've had."
I'm no fan of Clinton, but he did keep us out of major wars, convicted people who were behind the 1991 WTC bombing and presided over one of the most booming economies ever.
What's to like about George W. Bush?
Especially when he gets help from the very man Republicans love to blame--I mean--hate!
