Lemme see, have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good... Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good... Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad...

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good... Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists -good... Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad...

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good.... Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad....

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good... Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good... Recession under Bush - bad...

Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good... World Trade Centers fall under Bush - Bad...

Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good... Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good... Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad...

Clinton says mass graves in Serbia - good... Entire world says WMD in Iraq - bad...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good... No WMD found Iraq - bad...

Milosevic not yet convicted - good... Saddam in custody - bad...

Ah, it's so confusing!

Only one mistake...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good... No WMD found Iraq - bad...

should read

No mass graves found in Serbia - good... Much WMD found Iraq - bad...

Ah, it's so confusing!

Focus on the common denominator.

It isn't the spending thats important to some, it's who gets to do the spending.

Clinton: Sending a little boy back to the Cuban Gulag: Good
Bush: Signing the partial birth abortion ban thus saving many lives: Bad

I suspect that the Left has completely gone berserk.

Why are you confused?

In the alternate universe called DemoncRAT Land; down is up - up is down, white is black - black is white, bad is good - good is bad, slavery is freedom, crazy is sane, lies are truth - truth are lies, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum!

Got the idea :-)

Oh DemoncRAT Land is also called Bizarro World

Not really a good example. The DNC would say:

DJ30 (1993) 3000
DJ30 (2001) 10700 growth of about 250% under Clinton
DJ30 (2004) 10200 loss of 5% under Bush, but Bush had to deal with a GOP controlled Congress

Speaking of black and white...

Dems don't put blacks in positions of real executive power — good. Bush has a black Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Secretary of Education, and Secretary of HUD, as well as a number of black under-secretaries. This includes Larry Thompson, former #2 at Justice until he left to make money in the private sector. All this is bad.

Clinton, like virtually all white Dem politicians, pandered to blacks while doing nothing of substance — he's the "first black president."

Bush does all of the above AND does more "reaching out" to local black mayors, heads of charities, religious-based institutions, etc., than any other president in history. That's bad. He simply isn't "reaching out" enough.

 

My tagline until the election:
A vote for Kerry-Edwards is a vote for Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Jacques Chirac, the UN, and Hollyweirdos like Michael Moore and Whoopie Goldberg. A vote not cast, or a vote cast for a minority party, is a vote for Kerry-Edwards (unless you’re a liberal/Leftist who’ll vote for Nader, the Greens, or stay home.)

I think the point of the item is that economic fluctuations happened in each term and only President Bush's is bad.

You're right. Black "leaders" perpetuate the victim mentality to detriment of the people who follow them.

The left can say whatever they want about the stock market but they can't ignore the fact that 9/11 took untold hundreds of billions out of the economy. Wall Street puts the number at approx. $500 billion.

That's what the numbers show. Sound bites (or typebites) are not very good a expressing what's really happening.
